It is often said that in the Middle East, anything is possible; judging by America's behavior toward Egypt, one can say the same thing about U.S. policy. By Zvi Bar'el Under other circumstances, that is, were our prime minister known for his foresight and for his planning and analytical capabilities, one might even suspect him of being behind the "provocation" in Cairo, which, of course, serves the "Zionist interest." How pleasant to see the United States digging itself a deeper hole every day with its declarations and suggestions to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak: Yes to resigning now; no to resigning now; lift the state of emergency; dissolve parliament, ...

By Sarah Carlson February 12, 2011 Seattle bus ad censored due to Zionist pressure On Jan. 27, a group of Israeli settlers opened fire on the West Bank village of Beit Ommar. Yousef Fakhri Ikhlayl, 17-years-old, was shot in the head while standing in his family's vineyard. Two days later, Israeli “security” forces opened fire on Ikhlayl’s funeral procession—first with sound grenades and teargas canisters and then with rubber bullets and live ammunition. Less than two weeks earlier and nearly 7,500 miles away, a group called “Stand With Us” launched an ad campaign in six San Francisco Bay Area BART stations. This was in response to ads placed in three of ...

Tea Partiers would be surprised how little freedom they'd have if we read the Constitution literally By David Schultz Salon/iStockphoto With reverence and awe, Michele Bachmann and the Tea Party pay homage to the original Constitution and framers who drafted the document in 1787. The House of Representatives, in a nod to them, began its session this year by reading it. Bachmann even brought Antonin Scalia to a seminar on the Constitution for members of Congress, where the Supreme Court justice instructed members to read the Federalist Papers and follow the framers' original intent. Moreover, many of the Tea Party's political positions, such as opposition to ...

George W. Bush must have been the despair of the history department of every school his daddy managed to get him into. Consider his latest excursion into the history of the republic, at Southern Methodist, where the Great Man's papers are to be housed. "What's interesting about our country, if you study history, is that there are some 'isms' that occasionally pop up. One is isolationism and its evil twin protectionism and its evil triplet nativism. So if you study the '20s, for example, there was an American-first policy that said, 'Who cares what happens in Europe?' ...

Barry Rubin, editorialist for the Jerusalem Post, opined today at American Thinker that Barack Obama has so utterly failed in his Middle East diplomacy that no ME nation can now trust either his judgment or his promise. The following is a portion of his thoughts. Here are some implications: --Israel will not take risks or make concessions based on this administration's promises because it doesn't keep its promises or its commitments. The Administration is only proving the ineptness that Israelis already expected. --But, of course, the same applies to the Palestinian Authority. Do you think it believes the U.S. government is going to protect it from Hamas? --Do you think the Saudis ...

Egypt Shames AmericaIn spite of our own interests, Americans and the US government are supplying the boots that rest on the necks of citizens of Egypt and dictatorships around the world. Meanwhile, we remain silent as the impending reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act threatens to speed the momentum of repression in our own country.The uprisings across the Middle East expose how long America has impeded democracy abroad, rather than supporting it. And the contrast between Arabs mobilizing to obtain freedom, while we in America sit idly by as our elected leaders undermine our rights, is a sobering reminder of our own democracy's faults.The Boot That Rests on Their Necks ...The Egyptian ...
LOCAL REPORT: Jackson, Michigan Jobless Drop Among The Biggest In The Nation

It was already impressive enough to learn that Jackson County’s jobless rate dropped 4.3 percentage points in a year. But did you know that’s one of the biggest improvements in the country? The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week that only two other communities in the country saw a greater dip in their unemployment rate from December 2009 to December 2010. Both — Muskegon (4.8 percentage points) and Monroe (4.4 percent) — are in Michigan. In fact, the 10 biggest drops all took place in our Wolverine State. Is the glass half empty or half full? A community’s jobless rate likely won’t fall so much unless it is high in the first place. Indeed, ...
Why Conservatives are Turning on Beck [Full Thread]

Adam Serwer asks a good question: why now? Why, after all the obvious agreement between conservatives and Beck -- on Israel, on Islam, on big bad bogeymen like shari'ah water-carriers and socialists and Stalinists et al. -- are conservatives suddenly, as Anthea put it yesterday, circling Beck like sharks? As I discussed as the Egypt news was breaking and Beck was jumping on the opportunity to link the Muslim Brotherhood to the grand socialist conspiracy, American conservatives have a long-standing affection for conspiracy theories surrounding the Muslim Brotherhood and its supposed plot to take over America with a "caliphate." As Media Matters notes today, Beck shares a ...

If I had a hundred rupees for every time I’ve heard the term ‘Zionist’ or ‘Zionist conspiracy’ used in everyday conversation, newspaper articles or political speeches, I’d be a rich man. But despite the term’s widespread use it is bandied about with little understanding of its meaning, origin or implications. In fact, the words ‘Jewish’, ‘Israeli’ and ‘Zionist’ are used interchangeably. Let’s try to clarify this a bit: Judaism is a religion, Israel is a state and Zionism is an ideology. Dr Alan Sabrovsky, a former US marine of Jewish origin describes modern Zionism as a “witches’ brew of xenophobia, ...
Sarah Palin insults Ronald Reagan's legacy

Now here comes the ubiquitous Sarah Palin claiming the mantle of Ronald Reagan's legacy. I have recently been minimizing the Sarah Palin commentary, and trying to emphasize more substantive matters, because I am bored to death by much liberal obsession with Palin and partisan hack jobs by the Dick Morris types on the right. In this case, Sarah Palin has nothing in common with Ronald Reagan. Reagan would never have thought of quitting as governor of California, as Palin quit as governor of Alaska. Reagan treated opponents with civility and decency, no matter how much he disagreed with them. Ronald Reagan believed in the art of negotiation, which he learned as president of the Screen ...

When John McCain announced his choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate on August 29, 2008, the only foreign policy experience or expertise the Republican vice presidential candidate could point to was her 20 months as Governor of the only state between Canada and Russia. But the former Governor and potential 2012 presidential candidate has come a long way in the little more than two years since the enormously successful “hockey mom” speech she delivered at the Republican National Convention. In an op-ed piece in USA Today last December 21, Palin sounded like an old foreign policy hand from inside the Washington beltway.In the article, headlined “Time to Get ...

The events in Egypt of late have captured the attention of the world, as many thousands of Egyptians take to the streets both in opposition to and in favor of the current regime. We watch from a distance hoping that events do not spiral further into violence, which will destroy lives and threaten the livelihoods of average Egyptians caught up in the political turmoil. I hope that Egyptians are able to work toward a more free and just society. Unfortunately, much of the blame for the unrest in Egypt and the resulting instability in the region rests with US foreign policy over the past several decades. The US government has sent more than $60 billion to the Egyptian regime since the Camp ...

With all of the turmoil in the Middle East — a new opposition government not fully supported by the United States and Israel in Lebanon; a Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia; and massive demonstrations in the streets in the capital cities in Cairo; Sana’a, Yemen; and Amman, Jordan, against autocratic, repressive regimes — there is total uncertainty as to what the region’s future will be. What is certain is that while each country in the area is unique, whatever occurs in one country affects what occurs in other Mideast countries, if only because of satellite TV, the Internet and cell phones. What is also certain is that U.S.-Middle East interests are very complicated due to ...

If the debate in Washington over the Iraq War had made for strange political bedfellows, during the current discourse over the Egypt crisis, the bedfellows are looking really weird. In the run to the U.S. "liberation" of Mesopotamia the romance between the neocons (American Enterprise Institute / Weekly Standard) and the liberal imperialists (The Brookings Institute / New Republic) -- consummating their relationship while doing nation building on the banks of the Euphrates -- was all the rage.

Inside Tahrir Square on Thursday, I met a carpenter named Mahmood whose left arm was in a sling, whose leg was in a cast and whose head was being bandaged in a small field hospital set up by the democracy movement. This was the seventh time in 24 hours that he had needed medical treatment for injuries suffered at the hands of government-backed mobs. But as soon as Mahmood was bandaged, he tottered off once again to the front lines. “I’ll fight as long as I can,” he told me. I was awestruck. That seemed to be an example of determination that could never be surpassed, but as I snapped Mahmood’s picture I backed into Amr’s wheelchair. It turned out that Amr had lost ...
The Roots of the American Right’s Muslim Brotherhood Panic

Reza Aslan has a good piece up at the Washington Post, in which he both demystifies the Muslim Brotherhood and exposes the hypocrisy of American conservative politicians like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum for fomenting panic about the Brotherhood's supposedly theocratic aims: After all, in the United States it is axiomatic that Islam is inherently opposed to democracy and that Muslims are incapable of reconciling democratic and Islamic values. Never mind that the same people who scoff at the notion that religion could play no role in the emerging democracies in the Middle East are the same people who demand that religion must play a role in America's democracy. Ironically, one of ...

33 years after delivering a major blow to the post-WWII western political infrastructure in the Middle East, by uprooting a well-entrenched US-backed monarchy, the leaders of Islamic Republic of Iran are naturally elated that Egypt is in the grips of a similar people's revolution that, if successful, can cause profound transformations not only inside Egypt but also the wider region. Indeed, "political realignment" is the catchword that comes immediately to mind when one ponders the potential (geo) political implications of a regime change in Egypt, not to mention the on-going ripple effects of a new Arab awakening elsewhere in the Arab world, triggering the thoughts of a ...

Just in case anyone from the "Tea Party" is watching the news from Egypt, this is what an actual revolution looks like. A quarter-million people randomly taking to the streets. No one dressed up in funny costumes and hats. No tea bags worn. Visceral, guttural, raw human outrage against one man's 29-year dictatorship while living under "emergency law" for 43 years. No voters upset that they lost an election two years earlier. Nobody angry that the government is trying to force national health care on them. Not one poster of Adolf Hitler. No professional lobbying organization putting together Official Protest Parties. BYOB. No national TV network rallying its ...

Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Political upheaval among stalwart U.S. allies in the Arab world may have irrevocably altered politics in the volatile, oil-rich Middle East, Obama administration officials say. While they did not foresee the fast-changing events and can’t predict where spreading unrest will end, they insist they are keenly aware of the dangers. Longtime Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh yesterday followed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in responding to street protests by pledging not to seek reelection. The day before, Jordanian King Abdullah sacked his prime minister following demonstrations and promised “genuine political reform.” Last month, a revolt in Tunisia ...

The idea that cutting several tens of billions of dollars out of the federal budget right now will improve the economy makes no sense. There are no doubt some government programmes that aren't worth what we're spending on them. It's always a good idea to cut programmes that aren't worthwhile. Such cuts have nothing to do with the current state of the economy, one way or the other. America faces a long-term debt problem on the order of trillions of dollars, mainly as a result of rising health-care costs and their impact on the Medicare and Medicaid budgets. Rising Social Security obligations and huge defence expenses also play a role. And a very large role is played by the ...

One of the most remarkable features of the American response to the Egypt crisis has been its one-sidedness.The longtime, loyal American ally Hosni Mubarak turns out to have virtually no support here, from Capitol Hill -- where just a handful of Republican backbenchers have called on Obama to support him -- to the foreign policy establishment where, after Les Gelb and John Bolton, there have been few voices rallying Obama to his defense. This is partly because cold-eyed, dictator-supporting realism is a very hard sell on the, er, American Street, where peaceful, hopeful protesters have captured the imagination. But it's also partly because the "neocons" won important ...

It has taken just six weeks for the arrest of a fruit-and-vegetable seller in Tunisia to spark a chain of events that now threatens to topple the government of Egypt. Watching the revolt against autocracy spread across the Arab world is exciting, uplifting – and also deeply alarming for the world’s major powers, all of which are, in different ways, fond of the status quo. The discomfort of the US is obvious and much remarked upon. As the world’s only superpower and President Hosni Mubarak’s main outside sponsor, it is the US that everybody is looking to. But the turmoil in Egypt will also be a source of anxiety for European and even Chinese leaders. Europeans have ...
