ما أسهل التكفير وما أصعب التفكير

استيقظت قبل الفجر على شعورٍ مبهم وبدأت أتصفح زقزقات الساعتين الفائتتين. كم كانت صدمتي كبيرة وأنا أقرأ أنباء مجزرة جديدة في درعا. كتبت

حاجتكم شعارات. سورية الله مو فاضي لها. سورية الله ناسيها. سورية الله زابلها.  
 
أتاني الجواب سريعاً

Waleed al3nze
@ حرام عليك تكفر بربك وتبي سوريه اتحرر اذا فيه نبذه من اشكالك كفره الله يكفي سوريه من اشكالك وسوريه ابيه من غيرك انت واشكالك
 
 ربما لا يعرف وليد هذا شعار "سورية الله حاميها". ربما لم يره على جدران حلب أو على مدخل الحميدية في دمشق. أوضحت له

كنت أرد على شعار "سورية الله حاميها" الذي يرفعه أنصار النظام حتى الملل. شكراً لتكفيري وأنت لا تعرفني، فعلاً نحتاج هذه العقلية.

لم أسمع منه جواباً ولن أسمع. هذا شخص يكفّر. هذا إنسان يسمّي الشيعة رافضةً. كما يقول التعبير السوري العامي : بالنااااااقص

Bernard-Henri contre BDS - L'amour d'Israël est aveugle

Bernard-Henri Lévy a fait publier récemment un article qualifiant la campagne BDS de "saloperie". Bernard-Henri manie le verbe avec une dextérité telle que le mot "saloperie" prend une dimension intellectuelle inédite.


L'article, pour qui peut en supporter la lecture jusqu'au bout, est ici:


La plupart des commentaires étaient positifs. Béchamel (euh, "BHL) a ses fans, bien sûr. J'ai envoyé, à trois reprises, un commentaire poli et ferme signalant mes points principaux de désaccord mais il n'a pas été publié. J'en conclus, comme je l'ai fait en regardant certains débats auxquels ledit "philosophe" a participé, que le Béchamel a une horreur absolue du rationnel. Voici donc mon commentaire, dans mon blog, et je laisse qui de droit juger :


<< Bernard-Henri Lévy oublie, ou feint d'oublier, qu'il est parfaitement raisonnable de boycotter un Etat occupant. Le mot "occupation" n'effleure-t-il pas sa penséee ?


Bernard-Henri Lévy associe BDS, par un tour de passe-passe verbal, au boycott de marchandises dites "juives" auquel certaines organisations douteuses auraient fait appel. Or, d'une part, la campagne BDS a été très claire quant à l'étendu de son boycott (strictement des produits et des services israéliens) et, d'autre part, l'on se demande ce que B-H. Lévy entend par "marchandise juive".



Il est surtout drôle de lire l'auteur prétendre que le boycott d'Israël "contrevient, en effet, aux usages, règles et lois du droit international..." En matière de droit international, les défenseurs des politiques israéliennes feraient mieux d'examiner le respect par ces politiques du droit international. Israël a systématiquement violé ce droit, résolutions du Conseil de sécurité (242, 476, 478, 487...) et Conventions de Genève inclus.



Enfin, Bernard-Henri Lévy pourrait-il apporter la moindre preuve de son accusation contre Ali Abunimah de "comparer Israël à l'Allemagne nazie" ?

Un peut d'honnêteté intellectuelle serait la bienvenue. >>

More ramakism المزيد من الراماكية

In a previous post, I coined the term "ramakism". However, I didn't provide a definition of the underlying concept, perhaps because examples speak more loudly than theory in some cases.

One of the characteristics of that concept is that the ramakists will do anything to become partners in any juicy deal in the area (usually a whole country) which they consider their playground.

Here is the most recent example: http://all4syria.info/content/view/37198/96/

Greek Orthodox Palestinians just gave us the best Christmas present this year

Beit Jala is only the first sign. Shouldn't Theophilos prepare for retirement in Greece?
"Palestinian members of the Greek Orthodox Church have complained that Theophilos, who replaced Irenaios I after he was deposed by the church council for leasing Palestinian lands to Israel for settlement construction, has also failed to live up to the promises he made when he assumed the position."

Asia's most brutal regime?


The Independent states that Myanmar (which it still calls Burma) is "Asia's most brutal regime". Wouldn't the Israeli or Saudi regimes qualify for the title? The first is an ethnic-cleanser, an occupier, a killer and a thief. The second is a killer of people and public freedoms, a family tyranny ruling in the name of its own interpretation of God.

With all due respect to Suu Kyi's struggle.

Israel is NOT building homes for settlers

Good article and good intentions here :
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26374.htm
... but...

Israel does not build "homes".
Israel destroys homes.
Israel builds houses.
Israel does not build those houses for settlers.
Israel builds them for colonisers.

The Manhattan Islamic Centre and liberal editorial colonialism

We have a debate here. May be I should type: We have a "debate" here. Published by no less prestigious a newspaper than The New York Times. Anything wrong with this picture?


















Take a closer look. Yep, Islam is at the Centre of the debate not one contributor is a Muslim. Do not get me wrong, I do repect Greenwald's opinions and read them quite regularly but... what makes The New York Times think that it has enough diversity of opinions when not one representative of the concerned target ("targeted" in this case) group contributes to this debate?

Please boycott Scotland and...

... send me the whisky. I'll drink it myself.

This is what selling out looks like

Ibish has never been a man whom I trusted, but he did some decent work in the early days. Here is what has become of him:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/aug/26/obama-israel-palestine-middle-east-peace

Naiveté? Stupidity? Saudi royal dough?
Or a mixture of all the above?

I responded in thre points:

Hussein Ibish now represents... Hussein Ibish.

Protocols of the Arab Elders

"Every real Arab, deep inside, is kind of a fan of the Nazis."

Then this:
"
I know the guy personaly. He's an Arab, who even though he converted still acts like an Arab."... whatever that means.

It's all here, in its full beauty:

You read it here first!

It will only be a matter of time before they start exporting oil to Israel (and I actually understand the Kurdish struggle for recognition and some form of autonomy.)
