By Antoun

The article below, titled “The Lion
and the Gazelle” is written by Uri
Avnery and published originally in the
Israeli Haaretz newspaper, rebuts one of
the too many myths associated with the
supposed history of the Jewish groups
and Jewish believers. (More) |

The article:
The Lion and the Gazelle
By Uri
Avnery
Every
year I marvel again at the genius of
this ceremony. It unites the whole
family, and everyone - from the
venerable grandfather to the smallest
child - has a role in it. It engages all
the senses: seeing, hearing, smelling,
tasting and touching. The simplistic
text of the Haggadah, the book which is
read aloud, the symbolic food, the four
glasses of wine, the singing together,
the exact repetition of every part every
year - all these imprint on the
consciousness of a child from the
earliest age an ineradicable memory that
they will carry with them to the grave,
be they religious or not. They will
never forget the security and warmth of
the large family around the Seder table,
and even in old age they will recall it
with nostalgia. A cynic might see it as
a perfect example of brain-washing.
Compared
to the power of this myth,
does it really
matter that the Exodus from
Egypt never took place?
Thousands of Egyptian documents
deciphered in recent years leave no room
for doubt: the exodus of masses of
people, as described in the Bible, or
anything remotely like it, just never
happened. These documents, which cover
in the finest detail every period and
every part of Canaan during this epoch
prove beyond any doubt that there was no
"Conquest of Canaan" and no kingdom of
David and Solomon. For a hundred years, Zionist archeologists have devoted
tireless efforts to finding even a
single piece of evidence to support the
Biblical narrative, all to no avail.
But this
is quite unimportant.
In the
competition between "objective" history
and myth, the myth that suits our needs
will always win, and win
big. It is not important what was, the
important thing is what fires our
imagination. That is what guides our
steps to this day. (More) |

Quote of the day |
|
The
Ninth Protocol --
"In order not to destroy prematurely
the Gentile institutions, we have laid our efficient hands on
them, and rasped the springs of their mechanism. They were
formerly in strict and just order, but we have replaced them
with a liberal disorganized and arbitrary administration. We
have tampered with Jurisprudence, the franchise, the press,
freedom of the person, and, most important of all, education and
culture, the cornerstone of free existence.
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the
'Gentiles by means of education in principles and theories
patently false to us, but which we have inspired.
"Above existing laws, without actual change but by distorting
them through contradictory interpretations, we have created
something stupendous in the way of result." |

to foster a greater awareness of,
and interest in, Syria’s national

Our Cause, our Blues and our
Responsibilities
By Munir Haidar
There
is no cause that is so clear, so
simple, so fair, so just, so solid,
so righteous, so needed, so vital
and so important than the Syrian
Cause. Yet, there is no cause that
is more exposed and subjected to all
kinds of ambiguities, ignorance,
confusions, complexities,
adversities, opposing forces,
aggressions and injustices than this
very same cause.
The
Syrian Cause is about life, freedom,
unity, sovereignty, prosperity,
dignity and secured future for our
people. It is about the national
identity, our people social cohesion
and its unity. nd motivated by
their harmonious and unified souls.
