The US must rein in Israel
Forcing Israel to adhere to international law is not an option but an imperative: either Israel complies with international conventions and a regional modus vivendi, or it bears the consequences and endures sanctions like any other country.
Reverse engagement
The US is not even pushing for actual Israeli-Palestinian talks, but has taken the unprecedented step of going publicly backward, rather than forward, in a process it sponsored 20 years ago under the equation of land for peace.
From ‘land for peace’ to ‘an eye for an eye’
No sooner had Israel begun its most vicious onslaught yet before commentaries began to explain the massacre and put things into context.
Spinning the Golan
Israel has long enlisted a small army of public relations specialists to create its own version of history and enlist public opinion. It’s time for Syria to do the same.
Basking in the limelight
What the Syrian regime wants is much more simple: it wants to be acknowledged as a force in the region, and as an interested party whose cooperation must be sought.
America’s veto on Syrian-Israeli talks is counter-productive
Syria is being accused of wanting to negotiate for negotiations' sake, but Israel and the US themselves are only talking peace to achieve other goals.
Walking on eggshells
The International Crisis Group's statement on the Middle East tiptoes around the big issues, but they have to be faced sooner or later
As Lebanon burns, Syria finds supporters again
In Syria, the peculiar sight of a brand-new trinity consisting of Nasrallah and Sadr flanking Bashar Assad is being paraded.
Recycled delusions in Geneva
From the first "land for peace" equation of Madrid's peace conference, to the "peace for land" deal that Sharon pretends to offer (supposedly after resistance stops), a "land for land" barter now surfaces.
Re-electing the devil you know
Until recently, Israelis seemed mostly content with the “Bulldozer” and were on the verge of giving him another landslide victory until tales of corruption and fraud surfaced.
Israeli PR lessons are lost on Arab regimes
Until now, the so-called Arab information strategy has been the media equivalent of stones facing bulldozers, or sling-shots tackling F16s. Moreover, it has so far mostly preached to the choir.
