Smile, You’re in South Lebanon

12Jun08

“Smile, you’re in south Lebanon” is a great documentary I was lucky enough to watch last week in Souk Jara. The 1 hour and 20 something minutes documentary by a brilliant Dalia Kury filmed the life of a southern Lebanese family and how they deal with fear and hardship.
The answer to the previous question is [...]

Palestine: Protesting Violence and the Art of Resistance

10Sep07

This week in Palestine: Gazans decided to go on strike in protest to violence caused by Hamas-linked groups two days ago. This is the first strike since Hamas gained power three months ago; the majority of shops, universities and even hospitals were closed on Sunday. Hamas shrugged it off and considered it an attempt by [...]

Petition to Restrict the Sale and Use of Cluster Bombs

30Mar07

Just Foreign Policy together with Jewish Voice for Peace are planning to deliver to the US Senate - particularly the Democratic presidential candidates - a petition against cluster bombs.

On the King’s Interview with Haaretz

21Jan07

Everybody is talking about the nuclear power project King Abdullah II talked about to Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Apparently, Israeli sources are the most trusted when it comes to Jordan! For some reason that is beyond my comprehension of course. I for one do not trust Israeli sources on anything, but my fellow Jordanians and Palestinians [...]

On Saddam’s Death

30Dec06

I am deeply offended that we are expected to be that stupid. From the moment he was captured to the moment he died, everything felt like a tasteless show. His trial was anything but fair, more like a horrible Egyptian movie in which a “man” is being prosecuted by his worst enemies, and [...]

baby don’t hurt me…don’t hurt me… no more

30Jul06

No offense but this is what came to mind while I was reading about the “Faces Against War” campaign. I’m not belittling anybody’s efforts here but for God’s sake, this is not a war to start with! technically these are savage, inhumane and definitely disproportionate attacks by Israel, and Hizbollah merely tries to defend itself, [...]

Fuckers!

30Jul06

I don’t know what to say, this is horrific. Oh my God, I don’t know what to say. I’m watching the news, pictures of children and women, their lean bodies being carried from beneath the ruins. Most of these people were already hiding in what they thought of as safe refuges, but nowhere and no [...]

Hamzeh has started a Website to thank Amr Moussa, Arab League Secretary-General. On Saturday, Mr. Moussa said:
“The Middle East peace process has failed. The whole process should now be sent back to the Security Council for a complete overhaul,” said Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa. “We are going to the Security Council [...]
