PEACE WITH ISRAEL, MEANS MORE LAND GRABBING!

The Israeli bombing on Gaza continued for the tenth straight days as Arabs leaders trip on each others  rushing) to normalize their relationship with Israel. The attack is mostly ignored by western media or presented as retaliation to a rocket attack from Hamas, it always does. “Israel continues airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation for Hamas balloon bombs” The Guardian “Israel attacked targets of Islamist group Hamas in Gaza and halted fuel supplies to the enclave Thursday in the latest retaliation against firebombs” CBS

“After rocket attack, Israel hits’ underground’ Hamas targets in Gaza” Time of Israel Israeli warplanes always targeted Hamas not Palestinians, not people, not human, wife, husbands, not the only power plant, not fishing boats, and not schools and children, where is Malala when we need her. Palestinian is Hamas, any national resistance is terrorism, and attack on Palestinians is always attacking Hamas, goes the media, and Zionists narrative. The UAE Israel peace agreement is paying dividends already. Arab Zionists Zayed in UEA, Salman in Saudi Arabia, and elSisi in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab/Muslim world all agree now with the Zionist narrative. The reality was articulated by Kamel Hawwash, a British-Palestinian commentator and professor, who is the Vice-Chair of the British Palestinian Policy Council (BPPC). “

 “For the past 10 days, Israel has bombed Gaza every night, terrorizing the population. In addition, the only surviving electricity power plant has run out of fuel, plunging the tiny strip into darkness and impacting on all aspects of normal life,”.

After years of unofficial and shadow diplomacy, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel finally reached a “peace agreement” that was hailed by the white house and western media as historical and a gateway to stability and progress in the troubled Middle East. “The agreement will shock those who thought the portion of the Jared Kushner portfolio devoted to peace in the Middle East consisted of a single briefing folder filled with printouts of Wikipedia articles.” Reported the Atlanticthen Thomas Friedman, the master of political masturbation delved in with his Zionist pen, agreeing with Trump and short of nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, he thinks it is “Huge” “It’s a geopolitical earthquake.” however, Isabel Kershner and Adam Rasgon  at  TIMES thought it is an earthquake alright that “It swapped one Palestinian nightmare — annexation, which many world leaders had warned would be an illegal land grab — for another, perhaps even bleaker prospect of not being counted at all.”

IRAQI JOURNALIST, ACTIVIST, Muntazer al-Zaidi SPEAKS TO BelAhdan TV! بالأحضان

The Shoe Thrower Story.

I have been trying to get a hold of the so-called Shoe Thrower for years. Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi Journalist who threw a shoe at President Bush Jr. in 2008. Sending a message to Bush, “This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog,” yelled al-Zaidi in Arabic as he threw his first shoe towards Bush. “This is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq,” he shouted as he threw his second shoeBush ducked twice to avoid being hit by the shoes.”  I Finally talked to him and had a friendly, insightful conversation . He has been busy organizing and protesting against corruption and injustice in Tahrir Square in Baghdad. On August 11, as he was resting from protesting at his house, I tweeted to him that if we could talk just for a few minutes; he agreed., We Zoomed for almost an hour, he was thoughtful, personal and in a very good mood.  I started the conversation by asking him… about

how the shoe-throwing incident blurred his political activities and your struggle for human rights and against political corruption. Many media coverage a hero in the Arab world, celebrity status, shoe manufacturer claimed his shoe was made there, a shoe statue in Tikrit, marriages proposals, book , films, offers, TV series..  .

LEBANON… MY LOVE-HATE AFFAIR!

Lebanon on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea; a narrow strip of territory , the world’s smaller sovereign states. On August 4th,  2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate — exploded in port of Beirut shaking much of Lebanon.  The massive explosion wiped out half of the city. No one knows who owned the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate shipments, who sent it, or who stored that much explosive  for six years in an old warehouse in a port near one of the most exclusive residential areas in Beirut. “The countdown to catastrophe in Beirut started over six years ago when a troubled, Russian-leased cargo ship made an unscheduled stop at the city’s port.” Reported the Times. But the Catastrophe started much earlier. Lebanon is a very confusing country the only democratic country where people have the right to hate and kill each other.   I have a Love-hate relationship with Lebanon, lots of people do.  Lebanon, the Paris of the Arab world, a small tiny country that prides itself on being the only non-Arab like Arab country. A country built on troubled shaky foundations, a country where Western colonists left it as a reminder of what could become of Arabs if they seek a western democratic pretense.  Lebanon at one time was a hub for Arab refugees, a center for culturally and politically homeless Arabs and the inspired Arab writers, artists, freedom fighters and lovers. Growing up in Egypt in the 60’s Lebanon was a place for young Arabs to escape, a place to achieve our lost dreams, a faraway place full of possibilities, a welcoming place for all broken hearts, and curious minds. If you couldn’t go to your favorite college at home, you went to Lebanon to get it, if you couldn’t find a dream job you went to Lebanon to get rich.
