Hamas is accusing Israel of dumping aphrodisiac gum on Gaza. Hamas is maybe nervous about the sexual activities of young Gazans but nothing really surprises me when it comes to zionist tactics. One side effect of this is more Palestinian children which Israel would have to kill.

Rebiya Kadeer, a leading Uighur activist, expresses her dismay at the silence of Muslim countries on the Uighurs' repression by the chinese government. She should not be surprised, Muslim countries have not been able to actively protect and support Palestinians for the last sixty years.A portrait of Rebiya Kadeer, the 'mother of the Uighurs', in Le Monde.

Among other things, they burn books. And they get away with their crimes. Anti-semitic crimes are well publicised in France, sometimes they are even invented. In 2004, in what became known as Affaire RER D, a young woman tells the police that she was attacked in the metro by an anti-semitic gang; four Arabs and two black people.

A dissident note in the chorus of western condemnations of Iran is necessary, and what if it is true ? Reading this critique from an Iranian American scholar who is an expert in vote fraud and was on the board of NGOs overseeing votes in many countries worldwide, it appears that the story of vote fraud in Iran is somehow twisted and overblown. Mousavi is more of an opportunist than a reformist.

This article highlights the ignorance of pro-Israeli westerners of the demographics of Palestinians and hopes that the Pope's visit bring a certain awareness in the West that there are indeed Palestinians who are christians and that their land and their homes have been occupied by Israel and its settlement expansion policy.

This map shows what is left of oriental Palestine. For those who are not familiar with the matter, the map uses irony by naming 'islands' the different occupied Palestinian villages and cities, cut from each other by settlements, walls, settler only roads and military barrages. The question is how much those who still defend the two state solution are out of touch with the reality of the land

The Israel lobby opposed the appointment of Chas Freeman at the National Intelligence Council in the Obama administration and it succeeded. Because the first step for a war on Iran will be to skew the intelligence. And Freeman, according to Juan Cole, didn't seem to be the right choice for this.
