سلاح النفط في المعركة… الاخرى

The Oil Weapon in the... Other Battle

As-Safir

$60 billion in US jets on the eve of negotiations — the oil weapon no longer targets Israel but buys its protection, changing the combat doctrine.

الانسحاب من العراق

The Withdrawal from Iraq

As-Safir

The US withdrawal from Iraq is a managed process, not an end, linked to a series of diplomatic moves that pressure Palestinians and threaten Iran, all serving Israel's boundless security demands.

هل أن اسرائيل عبء استراتيجي على اميركا؟

Is Israel a Strategic Burden on America?

As-Safir

Israel becomes a burden on America when Arabs become one — when they can force Washington to choose. What an Arab ruler holds back, Israel reaps tenfold. A fairy tale, dear Umm Amr.

مفاوضات واشنطن: وبوسطة ناجي العلي

Washington Negotiations: With Naji al-Ali's Bus

عندما تتحول القوة الى ضعف

When Strength Turns into Weakness

As-Safir

Lieberman tells the truth: two years to Judaize Jerusalem, then "population exchange"—expelling '48 Palestinians. The Saudi king begs Obama to revive the initiative—just talk.

امرأتان وكلمة سر واحدة

Two Women and One Password

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?

الكازينو الفضيحة

The Casino Scandal

As-Safir

The Jericho casino: built for Israeli gamblers because gambling is banned in Israel for religious reasons—Palestinians barred from entry. Oslo's economic symbol.

كلام الناس للناس

The People's Words for the People

As-Safir

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.

التفاصيل الشيطانية ليست بتفاصيل

The Devil's Details Are Not Details

As-Safir

When occupier and victim are placed on equal footing, the door opens to naked force — devilish details, but not mere details.

On Etel Adnan

A tribute to Etel Adnan: "she transforms noise into velvet," and woman is what man lost since Adam—his paradise lost. "Change the world or go home!"

إنزعوا سلاح المستوطنين!

Disarm the Settlers!

Settlers carry militia weapons and one assassinated an Israeli PM—demand their disarmament. A simple proposal needing no grand strategies.

Sovereignty Between Damascus and Shebaa Farms - Can Lebanon Return to the Armistice Agreement?

As-Safir

Claiming Shebaa Farms places Lebanon under Resolution 242—"land for peace." The spell meant as a peg for resistance backfired on the sorcerer.

قمة نيويورك الثلاثية: «رمزية» الدروع المضادة للصواريخ

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

As-Safir

Half a meeting and "a joke at Obama's expense"—sometimes symbolism is deadlier than action: Israel joins the American missile defense system.

هل قلتم «تحرير مزارع شبعا»؟

Did You Say "Liberate Shebaa Farms"?

As-Safir

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

The Scarecrow of Tawtin, or the Return of the Repressed

As-Safir

The "resettlement" scarecrow ignited a 15-year war and the sentence was never finished — is there another way to end it?

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.

الغاوي في القاهرة: زمن العودة الى أصل النزاع

The Suitor in Cairo: Time to Return to the Root of the Conflict

As-Safir

Confidence-building means symbols instead of solutions—Netanyahu responds with self-rule indistinguishable from colonial mandate language.

مناورات اسرائيل: جهوزية المقاومة لا تكفي!

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

As-Safir

Barak announces the "Dahieh strategy": every civilian target is military. Resistance readiness isn't enough—shelters and civilian maneuvers are needed.

سلام نتنياهو

Netanyahu's Peace

As-Safir

Netanyahu's "peace": Arab recognition for non-war—he who gives peace can wage war. Palestinian self-rule "except what threatens Israel"—meaning everything.

في حصيلة الانتخابات الاسرائيلية:  ما هي «التسوية»؟

On the Results of the Israeli Elections: What Is the "Settlement"?

As-Safir

What if the endless deferral is the "settlement" itself—and all Israeli parties, "right" and "left," share a refusal to genuinely negotiate?

لا «تغيير»! – فمن اين يأتي «الامل»؟

No "Change"! - So Where Does "Hope" Come From?

As-Safir

Obama changed the language, not the substance. Mitchell succeeded in Ireland by linking violence to occupation—will he dare the same for Palestine? If change is missing, where does hope come from?

التقصير!

Negligence!

As-Safir

Israel destroys Gaza and Arab oil funds the rebuilding—not once has an Arab demanded Israel pay compensation for its wars.

محرقة »الامن« 

The Holocaust of "Security"

As-Safir

He who does not strengthen war capabilities does not strengthen peace—Palestine transformed from national liberation into protecting the colonizer from its victims. No liberation without change.
