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.

عودة علي شريعتي

The Return of Ali Shariati

Bidayat

Nasrallah and Khamenei declare Shariati's era over — insisting it has "passed" only confirms it is returning: "Red Shiism" vs. "Black."

الحرب الكونية ضد الارهاب – اعلى مراحل الاستعمار

The Global War on Terror - The Highest Stage of Colonialism

Al-Quds Al-Arabi

Lenin inverted: "The War on Terror — the highest stage of colonialism." Instead of drying terrorism's sources, the sources are destroyed and their people displaced.

الازمة السورية و «الحل اليمني»؟

The Syrian Crisis and the "Yemeni Solution"?

As-Safir

The "Yemeni solution": save the regime by sacrificing its head — is the crisis still Yemeni or does it recall Lebanon?

اوباما ونتنياهو بين لغة الاجساد ولغة المخاتلة 

Obama and Netanyahu Between Body Language and the Language of Deception

As-Safir

Sixteen agencies confirm: no Iranian weapon — Netanyahu defends a monopoly on 300 warheads the world knows nothing about.

سوريا تحت الوصاية الدولية

Syria Under International Trusteeship

As-Safir

The regime that rejects "interference" brought all world powers in — every shell kills one citizen and births ten jihadists.

تدويل ضد الوطن والشعب

Internationalization Against the Homeland and the People

As-Safir

Press freedom without the right to establish media, multiparty by license, protest by permit — the "comprehensive reform program."

روايات افتراضية وشعب حقيقي

Virtual Narratives and a Real People

As-Safir

Resistance means inviting every external party to control the people — and this real people has nothing left to lose but its chains.

ضرب ايران وضروب الابتزاز

Striking Iran and Forms of Blackmail

As-Safir

Netanyahu is a liar — Sarkozy to Obama. Israel's only project is permanent war, and the Iran threat is blackmail to bury everything else.

Hezbollah’s New Political Platform

As-Safir

Translation: Hezbollah abandoned the Islamic state and Wilayat al-Faqih—but its new platform accepts full partnership in the confessional system and its economic conditions. "Order is from faith"—or from serving bankers?

النظام الايراني – بين دين ودنيا

The Iranian Regime - Between Religion and Worldly Affairs

As-Safir

"Where is my vote?"—protesters carry Mousavi and Mossadegh: deeper democracy without American intervention. Rights are seized in the streets, at a high price.

الحصار

The Siege

As-Safir

The political class breeds its deficit the way people breed sheep—and most Lebanese now love life only if they can find a way to it.

العراق: حروف لنقاط النفط والدم

Iraq: Letters for the Dots of Oil and Blood

As-Safir

The occupation punished an entire sect for a regime—what's needed is Arab-Kurdish federalism and just distribution of Iraq's two rivers: water and oil.

We the Arabs, the Holocaust, and Palestine

As-Safir

Holocaust denial discourse is "a hallucination obsessed with the West"—the crime was European against Europeans, and Nazi theories ranked Arabs lower than Jews. Better to investigate Israel's crimes than to deny the Holocaust.

نحن و«المحرقة» وفلسطين

We the Arabs, the Holocaust, and Palestine

As-Safir

A discourse hallucinating on the West — one face compares Zionism to Nazism, the other wishes "if only he'd finished them all." The suspect says "arrest me" — wanting to commit what he denounces.

الجولان في «الحرب الكونية ضد الارهاب»

The Golan Heights in the "Global War on Terror"

Al-Quds Al-Arabi

Amidst the "global war on terror," Netanyahu seeks to solidify the annexation of the occupied Golan, exploiting the Syrian regime and opposition's missed opportunities to reclaim it.

Senile Orientalism

Allah will know his own: Lewis attributed a Catholic Crusader phrase to Islam—and his real argument is that Iran has no right to what Israel already possesses in nuclear warheads.
