The original version of this article can be accessed at http:/ antiwar.com/orig/jatras.php? By Stella L. Jatras. December 9, 2003. One by one, Serbs are confessing to their guilt regarding Srebrenica. Are we witnessing another Stalin show trial, where the defendants were told, "if you sign, we won't shoot you"? Was it to further demonize and humiliate the Serbs? The congressman had no answe...

Hassan Nassrallah may be loud, but he is increasingly isolated. Please hold me tightly and don't let go. You have to be seriously short on allies to attempt to resurrect. And threatening, you should know that his feet are beginning to catch fire in his cave. The divine decider is insecure. The steel bars slowly closing in on him. That keep cheering him,...

The Maronite bishops have decided to put an end to Aoun's habit of putting words in their mouth. When the Patriarch warned against a chapter 7 resolution last month, M.P. Michel Aoun suddenly had a new, convenient soundbite: The Patriarch is on our side! However, when the Patriarch made that infamous interview. The statement i...

A Sane Israeli Perspective: Nasrallah, Prepare to Meet Your Maker
http://saneisraeli.blogspot.com/2006/08/nasrallah-prepare-to-meet-your-maker.html
Thursday, August 03, 2006. Nasrallah, Prepare to Meet Your Maker. But there is something that we are very good at. Its the clean, precision warfare that inspires hollywood filmmakers. April 16, 1988: Khalil Al-Wazir (a.k.a Abu Jihad), second in command of the PLO, is shot at close range in his home in Tunis at 2am, along with his bodyguards. His wife and children, present during the operation, were not harmed. The shooters quietly disappear into the darkness of the night. Dear Nasrallah. You are inde...

A Sane Israeli Perspective: The Third Compromise
http://saneisraeli.blogspot.com/2006/08/third-compromise.html
Thursday, August 03, 2006. Recognition of Israel was the first compromise made by the Arabs towards a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The second compromise is the Israeli compromise: the realization that the Palestinian problem will not go away by itself simply because we are stronger, and the willingness to pay a price for peace. Second, the Palestinians must revisit their naive and romantic perception of the so-called "Right of Return". Palestinian refugees who carry keys to their pre-1948...

A Sane Israeli Perspective: The good guys always win
http://saneisraeli.blogspot.com/2006/08/good-guys-always-win.html
Tuesday, August 08, 2006. The good guys always win. Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak once said that had he been a Palestinian he'd have become a militant - what we often call a terrorist. This brave comment exemplifies how the political left in Israel (myself included) reasons about Palestinian actions, and in particular acts of terrorism and the two Intifadahs: by trying to put ourselves in their shoes. Is it more or less horrible to bomb buses, restaurants, and shopping malls? What crosses their mind?
