The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: "A Moment of Courtesy? No, a Moment of Double Standard (Zionist) bigotry and Racism. Cheap propaganda (that you expect in NYT). The New York Times printed this picture today on the front page with the headline 'A Moment of Courtesy' and this caption: 'Israeli riot police officers met resistance on Tuesday as they removed Jewish settlers from illegal residences in the West Bank city of Hebron. As one settler was carried off near the market, an officer rushed to pick up the man’s glasses from the ground.' Of course, it is courtesy. The man in question is NOT ARAB. Did you get it, o national newspaper? You missed the main point, as usual. If here were Arab, he would be dead by now."
Broken Spring? : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
