"Contrary to what many may believe, sensationalism, which often compromises credibility, has the opposite effect on receivers. And in this war of information that we often find ourselves in, especially within the context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it is imperative that when we say something, even if it is from a Palestinian angle, we make sure it is true."

"The list of daily atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinian people keeps getting longer, while the patience of most decent people in the world is getting shorter. It is as if Israel is saying to the world that not only will it not abide by any law other than its Talmudic law, it will not even recognize the humanity of the approximately 98% of the world’s population who are not Jewish."

"If somebody were to ask me what’s going to happen in this short medium term, I guess I see Iraq more and more controlled by men with guns. I see not necessarily a war that pits Sunnis against Shiites or Shiites against Kurds but instead a war that pits rival militias, sometimes within communities against each other. And they vie for territory and they vie for power. They vie for control of their respective communities. That’s my fear. You might have a functioning government in Baghdad with ministries and with a legislature and a lot of debate, but once you get out in the hinterland, you see men with guns in control."

"...foreign policy is an extension of America’s domestic problems, with a billion dollar presidential race that reduces social and moral issues to a battle between religious fanatic patriarchy and secular obsessed bigotry providing a distraction from the reality of a collapsing political sham resting on a precarious economic foundation. An emerging trend towards real democracy offers hope for the future but little immediate relief."

"After the Palestinian leadership decided to go to the UN to seek recognition, US and other Western funding has dried up leaving Arab funding as the only alternative. It was no coincidence this week that Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo pledged to provide the Palestinian Authority with an estimated $100 million a month to help it cover the cost of salaries both in the West Bank and Gaza....However, it is unlikely that this amount, or even a fraction of it, will actually be transferred to the Palestinian Authority if the reconciliation is not carried out."

"After the recent worldwide revulsion by 99% People’s Occupy Movement against the perpetuated atrocities of the 1% economic and political authoritarianism, Western democracy appears set on a collision course with itself when people are not the force of its functional legitimacy and policy making, more so of Obama’s imperial expansion, targeting other nations for the fun of killing, display of materialistic power and delusional military hardware, torturing and bombing innocent civilians and labeling it collateral damage - the Abu Ghraib, Guantamobay - none embodied peace, freedom and justice but treachery to American historical ideals, violence, deaths, and atrocities it claims to diffuse."

"The compromises he is making with the politicians, army and other contingents of Pakistan power politics as a means of gaining power ensures that he will have allies from inside the system, as well as electoral votes on the outside. But as numerous political commentators are inquiring, how much compromise is too much?"

"The Palestinian population throughout the country is growing rapidly, soon enough it will constitute the majority. The idealists who embrace this as the “One-state Solution” believe that the Apartheid State will slowly turn into a “state of all its citizens”....If, after decades of oppression, civil war, atrocities and other plagues this really came into being, it would quickly turn into a Palestinian state, with a Jewish minority, like the Whites in present South Africa. It would be a negation of the whole Zionist enterprise, whose core purpose was to have one place in the world where Jews would be a majority. Most Jewish Israelis would probably emigrate....For an Israeli, this would mean national suicide. Yet it is the inevitable outcome if the state continues on its present course."
