  • A Syrian source refuted claims made by the head of the Future parliamentary bloc MP Saad Hariri in Egypt that a "Syrian assassination plot" was to target him. Speaking to A-Manar, the source, who asked not to be named, challenged Hariri to prove the claim. The Syrian source said that Hariri's claim which came directly after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, "aimed at cutting the way on the Egyptian move towards consensus in Lebanon". Also, Harir's recent claim against Syria "unveils his intentio... Read More

  • From ArabMonitor The upcoming election of the President of the Republic and the lethal assault against the Member of Parliament Antoine Ghanem have once more put Lebanon in the spotlight. Arabmonitor focussed on this issue in its talks with Karim Pakradouni, chairman of the Kataeb, the Phalange Party, a historic political force in Lebanon sustained mainly by the Maronite community. What prospects are there for an agreement to be reached from now until 23rd October, over the name of a candidate for the Lebane... Read More

  • Christian Porth A group of AUB students traveled north to the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp near Tripoli over the weekend with the intention of helping to clean up the homes of refugees returning in the wake of the May-September battle between the army and Fatah al-Islam militants. What the students found inside the camp was enough to "make their heads spin," said Tamara Qiblawi, a senior, who organized the trip in conjunction with Popular Aid for Relief and Development (PARD), a non-governmental ...

  • Dr. Salim Nazzal In 1922 the British occupational power in Palestine offered Palestinians two alternatives, each as bad as the other. The first option was that Britain would, it said, accept the establishment of a Palestinian legislative council on one condition: that Palestinians accepted the Balfour declaration, which aimed to equalize (to say the least) between the native citizens of Palestine and the Zionist Jews who would come in the future to settle there. The second de facto alternative offered was tha... Read More

  • Gregor Peter Schmitz and Cordula Meyer White House Leak US Vice President Dick Cheney -- the power behind the throne, the eminence grise, the man with the (very) occasional grandfatherly smile -- is notorious for his propensity for secretiveness and behind-the-scenes manipulation. He's capable of anything, say friends as well as enemies. Given this reputation, it's no big surprise that Cheney has already asked for a backroom analysis of how a war with Iran might begin. In the scenario concocted by ... Read More

  • Will History Repeat Itself? M. Shahid Alam In January 2002, when President Bush named Iraq, Iran and North Korea as the first targets in his ?global war against terror? ? the putative ?axis of evil??few noticed a curious omission. Pakistan was not on the list. The targeted countries ? we were told ? sought weapons of mass destruction. In truth, Iraq and Iran were targeted because they stood in the way of Israeli ambitions ? and they had oil. Although Pakistan has been unlucky in oil, it could ... Read More

  • Kenneth Roth - Haaretz Another sample of HRW way of misrepresenting facts. The way a government or armed group responds to a Human Rights Watch report says a lot about its willingness to curb abuses. Does it grapple seriously with the findings or simply dismiss them? Human Rights Watch encountered a bit of each when we recently released reports on why civilians died during Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah. Our report on Hezbollah's rocket attacks on northern Israel addressed Hezbollah's two assert... Read More

  • Israel will commence a large-scale military operation in the Galilee on Sunday. The maneuver was originally to take place in the occupied Golan Heights but was moved due to concerns that it would exacerbate rising tensions with Syria. A similar drill was held a month before the Second Lebanon War and both list the participation of ground, air and naval forces as well as intelligence and S4 units. Israeli troops will only be partially mobile and no live fire will be used. The objective of the exercise is to sync... Read More

 
  • Head of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) General Michel Aoun launched a vehement attack against the unconstitutional government of Fouad Saniora, accusing it of "usurping power." Aoun also insisted that an alternative to elect a president by a simple majority is tantamount to a coup against the constitution. "We will not allow elections to take place by a half-plus-one (vote of the MPs)," Aoun told supporters from the mountain town of Aley. "If a president was elected without a quorum he will be illegitimate... Read More

 
  • Anyone have a tally on how many successful introductions came through this village? I just joined and there doesn't seem to be much activity. Maybe it's more of a "tag" on one's profile to say, "hey, I'm open to meeting someone" and other than that, the interaction on this particular village is irrelevant, save the occasional event announcement? I suppose anyone with success in this village doesn't come here any more and/or wouldn't necessarily own up to it! Well, if it's just a profile tag, then perhap... Read More
