Hussin Ramadan – For Humanity

By Guest Post • Jul 14th, 2009 • Category: Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

Palestinians identify with one another through not only our mutual identity, but also through our common experiences, ­for example, our situation under occupation, our economic conditions, our lives as refugees, the lives and conditions of our prisoners. When we go to sleep, we are unable to do so like ‘normal people’, undisturbed by these realities. We [...]

By Guest Post • Jul 3rd, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

In the June 25 edition of "Bitterlemons.org", Rime Allaf lashes out at Arab nationalists for what she perceives is their support of Ahmadinajad and the repressive Iranian regime.  Allaf is simply wrong.  The one group of Arabs which has not supported Ahmadinajad or the ruling theocracy in Tehran is the Arab nationalists, a position dating [...]

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 [...]

Following this article please watch the short video (in Arabic and English)

Bill Clinton, ADC's most zionist invitee with the most Arab blood on his hands, attracts the highest number of attendees at its convention. The NAACP invites the Ku Klux Klan's president to its convention.

When leaders in struggle confuse themselves with recognition of the rights of the people they claim to defend, everyone suffers, including the national cause, writes Azmi Bishara
The Scottish philosophers of the Enlightenment, from Ferguson through Adam Smith, taught us that such emotions as the yearning for recognition and affection from others, as well as envy [...]

The Zionist Electorate Warmongers
The last parliamentary elections of the Zionist entity proved beyond doubt that there is no right or left as well as there are no extremist Zionists and no moderate Zionists, they are equally extremist in their hatred of Arabs, and their aim to fulfill their final goal that is to complete their ethnic [...]

Obama is not an Arab… he is a decent family man

By Iqbal Tamimi • Oct 16th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Newswire

So from a US citizen’s point of view, Arabs are not trustworthy, maybe because they invaded her country killing hundreds of thousands, and causing almost 3 million [...]
