Making Arab media really independent
"If the US is serious about the effort to see a thriving and effective independent media, it must supplement any programming efforts on the ground with an articulate public approach that reflects the issues called for by Arab journalists themselves and the freedom-seeking Arab population as a whole. Otherwise, this latest effort will be a waste of money and yet another lost opportunity."

Israel loves settlers, for good reason
"...the overall settlement enterprise in the West Bank and east Jerusalem is serving Israel's long term purposes more than anything else. These colonies are swallowing up land - Palestinian land that may eventually become part of a Palestinian state. If settlers continue to live on it, confiscate it and claim it as their own, this means all the more land for Israel in general and less for us. Israel has always been about claiming as much land with as little Palestinians on it as possible. So, if tolerating a few wayward settlers means the realization of Israel's ultimate goal of usurping most of Palestine, then Netanyahu just like all those before him, will gladly oblige."

"Today, it would seem that the civilizations of East and West, or the Muslim and non-Muslim world, have become reversed. But perhaps it is more a case of having forgotten those former glories in the pursuit of present-day materialism and political agendas. A re-discovery and renewed appreciation of Muslim accomplishments would benefit all of humanity, allowing us to see -- and hopefully resolve -- present conflicts within the wider spectrum of human history."
Assad Choice: Mortgage Freedom to America?
"Syria today, like Iraq under the former Saddam Hussein regime, has fallen out of favour with Western interest, despite decades of investment in the cultivation of policies sympathetic to the zionist colonial-settler state known as Israel!...Not surprising therefore that chaos, anarchy, death and destruction in Syria today, is a preferred option actively pursued by the United States through a motley of diverse rebel formations as an expedient measure to achieve regime change."
