The absurdity of the Israel-Arab conflct
Reader comment on: Who Is Really Besieging Gaza?
Submitted by Batya Casper, Israelathebook.com, Nov 15, 2012 14:40
Countries around the Middle East - vast tracks of land - are sinking into the chaos and blood-shed of the Arab winter. The one peace-loving regime in the region is the democratic state of Israel - which is tiny, no larger than Rhode Island. For sure it can't be easy for Hamas, (the Middle Eastern counterpart to El Quaida.) They are forced to expend such enormous energies into maintaining the myth of the "poor" and "embattled" Gaza. It must be such a chore for them, with so much gratuitous violence flying around, to keep the eyes of the world trained on Israel as the bully of the neighborhood. Yet why are they so upset? Thanks to them, the Israel-Arab conflict is alive and well.

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. The number of robberies and assaults on Swiss trains has skyrocketed to such an extent that the Swiss government recently opted to equip transport police with firearms, and at least 1,400 women in Switzerland have been victims of forced marriages.
Future Russian Strategic Challenges
by Peter Huessy and Mark B. Schneider
The current administration is in a poor position to negotiate with Russia. There are press reports that the administration will attempt to evade Congressional approval of a new arms control agreement.
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.
