دولة اسرائيل «الدفاعية»

The "Defensive" State of Israel

As-Safir

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

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.

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.

من المكبوت الفلسطيني-اللبناني – كيف جرى توزيع المخيّمات الفلسطينية؟

The Palestinian-Lebanese Taboo - How Were the Palestinian Camps Distributed?

As-Safir

The camps were placed near cities "to meet the needs of businessmen who required cheap labor"—Palestinians did not settle where they pleased.

شقاء الامّة في مؤتمر القمّة

The Misery of the Nation at the Summit Conference

As-Safir

Kings and presidents innocent of "committing" fair elections hail Iraqi elections—Saleh proposes an Arab union after turning his southerners from unity enthusiasts into partition advocates.

بطاقة معايدة

A Greeting Card

As-Safir

Hope as a craft—so long as a Palestinian boy puts his nose against a soldier's, and Djamila Bouhired still screams.

إنزعوا سلاح المستوطنين!

Disarm the Settlers!

As-Safir

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

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.

فزاعة التوطين اوعودة المكبوت

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?

فزاعة التوطين – او عودة المكبوت

The Scarecrow of Tawtin - Or the Return of the Repressed

As-Safir

The Kataeb "put a period" on resettlement in 1975—so why did the war last 15 years? "Resettlement" is a scarecrow traded by leaders who can decide nothing.

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.

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.

لكي لا تُهزم غزة – دور للجماهير العربية

So That Gaza Is Not Defeated - A Role for the Arab Masses

As-Safir

Amidst the aggression on Gaza, Arab masses are urged to move beyond the paralysis and complicity of regimes, pressuring them to halt normalization and suspend agreements so that the resistance is not defeated.

حرب غزة ٢٠٠٩

The Gaza War 2009

The 2009 Gaza War, or "Operation Cast Lead," exposed an Israeli strategy to impose new rules of engagement through a heavy humanitarian cost, with profound implications for Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian cause.

بطاقة معايدة – الامل

A Greeting Card - Hope

One wish: hope — an industry like any other. Darwish's testament: we raise hope. Good night, may you wake to hope.

في استقبال أوباما: دعـوة إلى المزايدة

Welcoming Obama: An Invitation to Outbid

As-Safir

Next to Gaza, Guantanamo looks like a furnished Hamra apartment—there's no Israeli peace partner, never was. Time for an Arab strike from the peace process.

في إنتظار اوباما: دعوة الى المزايدة

Awaiting Obama: An Invitation to Outbid

As-Safir

No Israeli peace partner—never was. What's needed: a peaceful Arab strike at the UN, not greeting Obama with division and impotence.

خروج على »الاجماع الوطني«!

Breaking with the "National Consensus"!

As-Safir

A Saudi proxy buys a million square meters of mountain land; a Palestinian cannot own a single apartment—"rejecting resettlement" is expulsion by another name.

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.
