Palestine Think Tank

A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.

Obama, before he actually “did” anything, had a reputation. And, indeed, reputation – what others think you are, and not what you actually are – is a crucial factor in a public figure. A political leader, while marketed, literally, in order to [...]

Dear brother Hussein, like many Muslims around the globe, I am glad that President Obama has appointed you as his Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Needless to say, the repair of American-Muslim relations require, first and foremost,  honesty, integrity, and good will — characters I am sure you exemplify as an [...]

Mr. "peace-loving" Obama hardly bothered to wipe the blood off his hands when he picked up his Nobel Peace Prize. Seeing the tremendous leap forward by the people of Iran towards a democratic future, Mr. Obama continues his old warlike rhetoric against Iran. Simultaneously, he tightens the deadly grip of sanctions on the people of Iran, as they fiercely fight for democracy in their own land. Then he dares to say that he supports freedom and democracy.

The media's habit of revisiting certain issues at set intervals can be strange and even illogical at times.

First, we as Minorities must imbibe and fully understand the historic revolutionary opportunity for all Americans to reach a more perfect union by 2050 when we become the majority in our democracy. The white man has failed in his quest to understand and establish a nation where all men are created equal, that we all are born with inalienable rights, that man is born free from birth and to enslave and deprive man from that freedom is a violation of all divine edicts.

Who better to establish justice than those who’ve experienced injustice. Who better to understand deprivation, torture, hunger, chains and loss of life and land, than those who’ve suffered such. Who better to understand the loss of basic human rights than those who’ve been cleansed from such rights. Who better to understand the yearning for freedom for all men than those who’ve never possessed it. Who better to understand what racist regimes can inflict on humanity than those who’ve lived under such racist colonial regimes.
