Western absence
Reader comment on: Freedom of Expression? Not for Palestinians
Submitted by Balakrishnan, Feb 15, 2013 23:48
It is highly regrettable to note that the funds that civilized Western countries send to the Palestinians is not to used to civilize and democratize the people, but is utilized against Israel, which seeks to maintain peace in that holy land. Besides, it is the duty of the donor countries to raise their voices against the authoritarian way of gaging the free speech of journalists who criticise against Palestine and Hamas' misrule. When Western countries advocate both free speech and human rights to world, keeping silent is open discrimination.

The Sheiks and WMD
by Ali Salim
Any sheikh, acting as a mouthpiece for a Middle Eastern regime, will be able to provide an Islamic seal of approval for the use of chemical and nuclear weapons. Verse 60 from the Surah Al-Anfal of the Qur'an permits the use of any and every weapon a Muslim can acquire that can frighten and deter an enemy of Islam.
Switzerland: Multicultural Paradise?
by Soeren Kern
In March, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service announced that a growing number of jihadists are being recruited in Switzerland.

Russia's Brinkmanship with US Clashes with Israel's Security
by Yaakov Lappin
Jerusalem will find Russia's delivery of the S-300 missile system to Syria to be an intolerable development; it is safe to assume that Israel will act to prevent this from happening.
Fatah's Drive Against "Normalization"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Fatah activists who are threatening Palestinian teenagers for talking to Israelis and playing football with them are the same people who claim, at least in public, that they support the peace process with Israel. But how can there ever be a peace process when anyone who meets with an Israeli is immediately denounced as a traitor? It is worth noting that most of these denunciations are coming form the "moderate" Fatah, and not from Hamas.
