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.

(GAZA) - When the news from the overthrow of Mubarak came through, the people of Gaza flowed joyously into the streets.

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

On Indiscriminate Personal Harm in Lebanon

One more reason not to issue an “overarching, worldwide, universal definition” of the word terrorism.

(ISTANBUL) - Judges and lawyers at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, ostensibly established to prosecute the perpetrators of the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik HaririL

“have begun discussions on how to define the crime of ‘terrorism’ as listed in a draft indictment”.

Behind Every Great Revolution... is a GREAT WOMAN!

Her calm, spirited and powerful words helped inspire fellow Egyptians to participate in protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

(LONDON) - Her name is Asmaa Mahfouz, a 26-year-old Egyptian, a breath of fresh air, a balm to the heart of the oppressed, an inspiration to men and women alike!

Asma recorded her video on January 18th, uploaded it to YouTube, and shared it with the world. Within days, the video went viral within Egypt and beyond.

Pro-Israeli Medical Students Take Positions on Hasbara`s Propaganda Team

Medical students attempt to advocate what many see as Israel's militant brutality.

(SALEM / NEW YORK) - I recently wrote about the film, The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall and received a comment on the story from medical students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Their comment, wholly advocating for Israel's militant politics, fails to even mention the name of the man that the story is about; Thomas Hurndall.

One in a Million
Perhaps the Most Important Video You Will Ever Watch

When people function on a positive level there is no limit to their potential.

(GAZA) - The body of this film was produced by Atif Wahab and final post production was completed by Ken O'Keefe. This powerful video will bring you to your knees a a human being.

Don`t Gobble the Zionist Poison Against Hamas

The events in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan and perhaps beyond, indicate the logical, natural and organic consequence of the Western aggression...

(LONDON) - It is a known fact that Zionists make illegitimate claims for anything they covet or consider expedient.

Aiming to discredit and alienate the Palestinian Resistance and Liberation Movement Hamas, the zionist hasbara and their perception management experts have indulged themselves in spreading sly poison, in particular the false claim that "Hamas and Hizbullah are Mossad creation"

Critical Connections
Egypt, the US and the Israel Lobby

For the past 30-plus years, Egypt has been among those despotic regimes supported by the U.S. and Israel in return for turning its back on Palestinians.

(SACRAMENTO) - Minimally explored in all the coverage of the momentous Egyptian uprising taking place over the last 10 days are the Israeli connections.

A central and critical reality is that it is US tax money that has propped up Hosni Mubarak’s despotic regime over the past 30 years, and that this money has flowed, from the beginning, largely on behalf of Israel.

Erdoğan Reminds Mubarak that Presidents Die Too

Erdoğan instructs Mubarak to listen to the wishes of the Egyptian citizenry...

(ISTANBUL) - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has finally weighed in on the situation in Egypt, issuing the latest in a sequence of recommendations to preferred U.S. allies in the region.

Last year’s post-flotilla advice to the Israeli regime consisted of an excerpt from the Ten Commandments, delivered in both English and Hebrew: “Thou shalt not kill”.

Dr. Ashraf Ezzat Reporting from Egypt: The Uprising, the Treason and Israel

The dictator- people relationship is primarily of fear and submission. You take that fear and submission out of the equation and the relation is redefined again and so disturbed to the verge of uprising.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - History has always been one of my passions. Every passing moment has in a way contributed to our history on earth but only some of those moments made a change of history.
