The recent Palestinian uprising and Israel's 'peace of hegemony' compel Arab and Palestinian forces to reconnect the liberation struggle with national sovereignty and move beyond military reductionism in the face of new regional alliances.

في خصخصة الجيوش الوطنية

On the Privatization of National Armies

Al-Quds Al-Arabi

The privatization of national armies in the confrontation states is the price for suppressing peoples and militarizing their issues, leading to the systematic dismantlement of their role in national defense.

To What Extent Does the South African Apartheid Model Apply to Palestine?

Journal of Palestine Studies

A translation: the apartheid model does not automatically apply to Palestine—what actually brought it down was resistance strength on the ground and changed US support, and Palestinian go-it-alone is understandable but detrimental without Arab depth.

١٥ ايار السوري

Syria's May 15

As-Safir

اللعب على «تغيير قواعد اللعبة»

Playing at "Changing the Rules of the Game"

Israel bombs Damascus as "self-defense" while occupying the Golan—the Syrian people bury their dead while great powers decide their fate in their name.

غزة – مشهد ما بعد المعركة

Gaza - The Post-Battle Scene

As-Safir

The aggression on Gaza required a criminal provocation to draw Hamas into battle, but it places Arab policies towards the conflict at the heart of the present and necessitates connecting the national cause with the masses' movement for freedom and justice.

قال الذئب للحَمَل

Said the Wolf to the Lamb

As-Safir

The wolf told the lamb: you muddied my water — one overflight versus thousands of Israeli violations, and no one listens.

اوباما ونتنياهو بين لغة الاجساد ولغة المخاتلة

الدولة اليهودية: ماذا في التسمية الجديدة؟

The Jewish State: What's in the New Name?

As-Safir

From "State of Israel" to "state of the Jewish people" — religious definition replacing majority with sacred right. In another time, the answer: Palestine is Arab.

عدالة الامم المتحدة في تقرير امينها العام

United Nations Justice in Its Secretary General's Report

As-Safir

One measure makes settler weapons an internal affair, another makes resistance weapons a regional threat — none of this relates to the tribunal.

الوقاحة بما هي سياسة دولية

Impudence as International Policy

As-Safir

Lieberman inverts the Arab initiative: not land for peace but population exchange—legalizing the expulsion of '48 Palestinians. Impudence as international policy.

هل أن اسرائيل عبء استراتيجي على اميركا؟

Is Israel a Strategic Burden on America?

As-Safir

Helen Thomas from the White House, Haneen Zoabi from the Knesset — one password: Palestine is occupied, so why don't they go back?

دولة اسرائيل «الدفاعية»

The "Defensive" State of Israel

Israel, the "defense" state—settlers arrived and "defended" with massacres and expulsion, naming their army "Defense Forces" while it invades five countries.

كلام الناس للناس

The People's Words for the People

Amid politics' preoccupation with "major priorities," people's daily issues like water, electricity, and poverty are neglected, addressed superficially or through charity, while the state ignores its true responsibility.

الشرق الاوسط الخالي من السلاح النووي والمصلحة العربية

A Nuclear-Free Middle East and the Arab Interest

قمة نيويورك الثلاثية: «رمزية» الدروع المضادة للصواريخ

The Trilateral New York Summit: The "Symbolism" of Anti-Missile Shields

هل قلتم «تحرير مزارع شبعا»؟

Did You Say "Liberate Shebaa Farms"?

An orphan victory—Shebaa Farms liberated as a result of the July War, yet neither the majority nor the resistance claims the child.

خطاب نتنياهو: برسم التاريخ والنفط!

Netanyahu's Speech: For the Record of History and Oil!

As-Safir

No state, no return, no Jerusalem—the Arab narrative stutters after Oslo, accepting 1967 as the conflict's "origin." When normalization is the "last card," it has no conditions.

مناورات اسرائيل: جهوزية المقاومة لا تكفي!

Israel's Maneuvers: The Readiness of the Resistance Is Not Enough!
