In Palestine, no surrender, only victory and liberation are acceptable

The Palestine struggle is the original righteous cause, the only one that legitimises itself, it needs no support or recognition from Arabs or anyone, the brave resistance fighters keep the Palestinian revolution alive, keep the citizens of the illegal State of Israel living in fear, as any criminal on the run should, they keep the rockets flying, they reject the Egyptian terms of capitulation and surrender and seem to invite, nay tempt and even dare the so-called IDF to launch a ground assault. 

 In the past eight days I was truly impressed by the capabilities of the resistance, it has done a fine job, kept the sirens wailing in Israel, so not one of Israel's people forgets that they share in the guilt of the murder of a nation. Palestine will rise again, Zionism is doomed to fail, to end in the trash bin of history along with Da3esh, which is a creation of the Mossad, and along with every fat, lazy, corrupt Arab dictator. 

 How dare anyone blame the resistance for the deaths of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli war machine! Any Arab who does so is a traitor, first, to himself and to his own people and, second, a traitor to the truth and human decency. The occupied resist or die, that is their unfortunate lot in life. 

 What happens after a ceasefire? Huh? Tell me? A year or two or three of relative peace under siege?! Then what? Israel will find another way to provoke the resistance to fire rockets again so it may respond, or accuse Palestinians of killing a couple of settlers and use that as an excuse to attack. No, this ends here and now. The rockets keep flying until liberation, that is the only responsible course to avoid future flare ups and yet more deaths. If Israel wants a ceasefire, the price is lifting the siege of Gaza, nothing less! Until then, may the air raid sirens in Israel continue to sound!

Orosdi-Back: A lost Beyrouth department store from an elegant age

Image
My mother told me it was located on ‘ Banks Street ’ in Down Town Beirut , the road that leads up to Riad el Solh Square . On most maps the street is also named after Riad el Solh. The store was located opposite Bank Intra, or so I was told. Presumably the location of the store was indicative of the high end goodies on sale inside. The closest comparison to Orosdi Back is the old Allied’s department store in Dubai , for those who remember Dubai in the 1980s. But Orosdi Back was a store from a different age, an age of elegance as opposed to the vulgar modern excesses of the nouveau-riche, something Beirut ’s Down Town is synonymous with! A wonderful blog dubbed ‘language hat’ published some information about the founders of this chain of department stores. According to the blog the chain of stores came about as a result of a partnership between Adolf Orosdi, a Hungarian army officer and his sons who opened a clothing store in Galata in 1855, and the Back family, who were Aust...

A Reluctant Resistance: Will They, Won't They Strike, Who Knows

Image
It’s hard for anyone to admit that they have wasted their life believing in an idea that was unrealistic and naïve even at its inception. The idea that Palestine could be liberated is one such idea that just won’t die, it keeps recirculating and reinfecting us with hope. Every 20 or 30 years some regional power decides to use this idea of liberation to achieve some kind of political success over the populations of countries in its region that it wishes to dominate.   Palestine is the perfect idea and cause, pure and good and just, just like the tale of the crucified Jesus. A story of gross injustice and cruelty heaped on a man preaching a new age religion. Same with the plight of the Palestinian people, gross injustice and cruelty. Jesus actually preached and healed and drove out demons in the very environs over which fanatical Western Jews are fighting and burning out farmers and villagers of the West Bank who have more Semitic and Canaanite DNA than many European Jews that ru...

Palestine's 100 Years War: How Our Militant Past Predicts Our Future

Palestine’s 100 Years War The Past Rarely Predicts the Future, Except in the Middle East   “Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.” — Ernest Hemingway, 1946   For as long as I can remember my region has been at war. Everyone alive today can attest to the veracity of such a statement. We cheer the men at arms as they go off to fight, we condemn the failure to find a peaceful solution, we admire the fighter, we condemn the terrorist. We are the same people, the great mass of seated spectators, they whom we cheer and condemn, are also the same, the same breed of angry and desperate men and who can blame them, their lives have been hell.   Searching the vast archives of the internet for one of my own, a distant cousin who was one of those angry desperate men, I found an article dated March 22, 1973, in the El Paso Herald-Post titled “Middle East prediction: the worst is yet to come”. It was earie and ...
