US Duplicity in Egypt

Time will tell how this will play out, but make no mistake about it, we will do our very best to insure it is not good for the Egyptian people nor the American public.

(JAMESTOWN, R.I.) - While extolling democracy the Obama administration tiptoed through the struggle for democracy in Egypt trying not to offend anyone, but creating the appearance of supporting dictatorship in Egypt.

He justified his lack of action by saying we did not want to interfere in Egyptian affairs, a specious argument because the US has been interfering for the past thirty years by propping up Mubarak and his military.

Visions; Failed Endeavors, and Wishful Optimism

“The will of the people is bound to prevail.”

(DUBAI) - Yes, a fine sentiment. But when has it ever and, when it has, how long did it last? Freedom, Liberty and the dignity of man, must be built on more than slogans!

Skype Recognizes Region of Palestine

From the US Palestine is not an option in the box inviting you to “Select a Country or Other Area”.

(ISTANBUL) - Perusing international calling rates on Skype the other day, I noted that “Palestine Region” is listed as one of the subcategories for Israel, along with “Jerusalem” and “Mobile”.

I’ve thus added the Skype designation to a handful of other conceptions of Palestine promoted by select entities across the globe...

Will Democracy in Egypt Benefit the Palestinians?

Unless a majority of Israelis are beyond reason, that could be a game changer which would benefit the region and the whole world, not only the Palestinians.

(LONDON) - For decades, and despite much rhetoric to the contrary, American-led Western policy has been to prefer Arab dictatorship to Arab democracy. This preference was determined by two main assessments.

One was that corrupt and repressive Arab regimes were the best possible guarantee that oil would continue to flow at prices acceptable to the West, and, that there would be almost no limits to the amount of weapons that could be sold to the most wealthy Arab states.

Gaza`s Egyptian Hope

The people of Gaza would not be the people of Gaza if they let this undermine their joy and their will to survive.

They celebrate the victory, they celebrate the Egyptian revolution, which has become the symbol of their own ambitions.

Israel`s Racism Breeds Hateful Atmosphere for American Muslims

"If I were an Arab leader I would NEVER make terms with Israel... that is natural: we have taken their country" - David Ben-Gurion, father of Israel

(SALEM, Ore.) - While national politics in the US almost always follow the 'Judeo-Christian' line, it might also serve the American people well if they consider for just a moment that this two religion western concept fails to make sense in a democracy.

Majority rule, remember?

Egyptian Peoples Victory is Cause for Celebration in Gaza

Gazans, with so many challenges for their own party, were in a state of jubilation; car horns honking, flags waving, children chanting "peace!"

(GAZA) - There should be little surprise that celebrations in Gaza were held for the the Egyptian people's victory in the 2011 Global Revolution. Who knows more about the need for liberation than the 1.5 million residents of Gaza who live in an open-air prison cut off from even the most basic human needs.

The Bangles Hit `Walk Like an Egyptian` Meets` Lotus Revolution

Today, proudly, we are all Egyptian.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The Bangles might not have ever considered that their 1986 hit song 'Walk Like an Egyptian' would today, in 2011, take on the tone and role of a ballad for a people's movement of epic proportions.

Cairo and Jerusalem

The Egyptians masses were, no doubt, the best possible ambassadors for Islam and Salaam.

(LONDON) - "It was the moral force of non-violence” stated President Obama in his first comment on the revolution in Egypt. Yet it is far from being clear who was the Egyptian Mandela, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King?
