WRITTEN BY: Satia’a Nouredine
TRANSLATED BY: Adib S. Kawar  
She slowly spreads her legs, then she raises them high, before she rests her right leg on a couch’s armrest, and waits for seconds, then she quickly jumps up, she slackens the reins of her body another time proceeding with its hysteric movements, which don’t lack defiance, and [...]



Iqbal Tamimi – Why would Rupert Murdoch want to buy a stake in Saudi Media?

By Iqbal Tamimi • Sep 5th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Internet and Communication, Iqbal's Choice, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

It seems that the Western media is after Arab media platforms, or are they only after the deep Arab pockets? People in the Middle East are still in a state of shock after last week’s Yahoo business venture of buying Maktoob.com, the only Arab internet portal based in Jordan.
Now the latest news is that Rupert [...]



Yahoo has to acknowledge Palestine should it want to flirt with our pockets

By Iqbal Tamimi • Sep 2nd, 2009 • Category: Internet and Communication, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Zionism

WRITTEN BY IQBAL TAMIMI
One can't help but see malignant projects of gigantic companies committing forgery to steal the history of some nations in broad daylight.
As an example I would say Yahoo. For many years yahoo published pages on its websites and created online services where it has deleted Palestine from its charts, not just Palestine [...]

WRITTEN BY Andrei Vltchek
Sometimes I am chased by nightmares: I am in the middle of some bombed out refugee camp, maybe in Congo (DRC) or in some other desperate country at the periphery of media interests. Children are running around with swollen bellies, clearly suffering from malnutrition. Many women in the camp have swollen bellies [...]

"Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is strong" – Nietzsche
On 25 June, the Portland Indymedia website published an article entitled 'Rose City Antifa: Statement on Anti-Semites and their Collaborators' [1]. Rose City Antifa is part of the Anti-Racist Action Network.

Another political site blocked by Google/Blogger

The censorship of Google/Blogger does not cease. Many have fallen victim to it, and when it happens, it's quite shocking, especially if you have many thousands come to read each day and what you print can't usually be found in mainstream media. I ran Peacepalestine, which was a very popular blog. It had faced quite of [...]



The People Have Already Won in Iran – The Bankrupt Rulers Are Losing More Each Day

By Guest Post • Jul 22nd, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Internet and Communication, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, War, Zionism

WRITTEN BY Mozhgan SAVABIEASFAHANI مژگان صوابی

The dreams, aspirations, and accomplishments of millions of Iranians (youth and others), who have filled the streets of every city in Iran for a month, did not even get as much as a sentence in Mr. Paul Craig Roberts’ long article “Threatening Iran.” His article reflects the attitudes of his public [...]

Dear everyone who continues to graciously demonstrate patience to listen to my anti-House-Arab* diatribes,
 
I could denounce the complacency of the self-absorbed and disconnected leadership of our "Arab" community. But at some point, words and videos (and threats to do unspeakable things to one's hair) don't suffice to express frustration. The complacency somehow manages to confound language and [...]



Sentimental moments at the ballot box: Thomas Friedman warms his heart in Brummana, Lebanon

By Guest Post • Jun 21st, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Ideas and Projects, Internet and Communication, Newswire, Religion, Resistance

WRITTEN BY BELEN FERNANDEZ 
In a June 16 Op-Ed column in the New York Times entitled “The Virtual Mosque,” Thomas Friedman declares that events in Iran have raised “three intriguing questions” for him:
“Is Facebook to Iran’s Moderate Revolution what the mosque was to Iran’s Islamic Revolution? Is Twitter to Iranian moderates what muezzins were to Iranian [...]
