"I tried to change the subject and I mentioned my 12 year old daughter in the States. I told Aya how much I missed her and wished she could come to Lebanon and the girls could be friends. “And you could teach her more Arabic and show her around your beautiful country and you could do fun stuff.”

“I have a better idea,” Aya said. “Why don’t I just go to America and stay with her for awhile?”(More)

Mr Bush and the Goat

By Antoun Haddad

It’s a goat”, says Mr Bush. “You’re mistaken Mr Bush!” Responds the rest of the world. “How could this damn thing be a goat when we all can see that it’s flying?” They add in anticipation of some convincing answer. “A goat cannot fly Mr Bush!” They continue after waiting to no avail for an explanation from Mr Bush, as he keeps insisting that flying thing is a goat and keeps trying to convince the whole world that a goat can fly indeed!

How can Mr Bush be so paranoid and so delusional? Isn’t he the president of the United States? Don’t they call him “Mr President”? Hasn’t he been elected by the people of the United States? How can the American people choose to the first job a person who is as delusional and paranoid as Mr Bush? Are delusion and paranoia pre-requisite characteristics of those candidates for the first and most important job in the USA? Or, do candidate become delusional and paranoid after they are elected to this job?

Resorting to the history of the United States and the history of its successive presidents to find some answers to our questions, we have failed to compare Mr Bush to any of those presidents except his father perhaps. We concluded that Mr Bush is a stand alone president of the USA. Only time will tell if the Americans, and the rest of the world for that matter, will be “endowed” (ravaged is a better verb) with a like of Mr Bush ever again.

When there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the whole world could see that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, sadistic Mr Bush insisted otherwise and as a result initiated an aggression which destroyed Iraq, claimed about one million Iraqi victims so far, killed about 5000 US soldiers and many thousands wounded and put the United States in unenviable situation.

Yet Mr Bush insists that he brought democracy to Iraq and the dying and devastated Iraqis can practice democracy now, the democracy of death to be precise. (More)

What went in the mind of Sa’id Jumblat in 1860, when he was imprisoned at the Grand Serail, awaiting trial and being “persuaded” by the British to accuse Khorshid Pasha ⁽¹⁾ of instigating the massacres in the Chouf? (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. (More)

A massacre in Akkar (North of Lebanon)

Is it Lebanon or Rwanda?!! (Details of The Halba Massacre)

I've been trying to sum up the words to write this post for over an hour now, and honestly...no words can sum up what happened yesterday and all the events that followed in Halba, Akkar.

On friday night, mosques across Akkar, called for demonstrations in Halba. At the time, I was with a bunch of friends from different political parties (pro-government and opposition). Everybody present knew what was going to happen at that demonstration. They all knew because it had happened before.

Almost a year ago, Future movement called for a demonstration that soon turned into an attack on the SSNP headquarters in Halba, the result was 5 FMers (Hariri Militia ) injured and the attack was repelled.

( Huh, on that day, I was arrested for several hours on suspicion that I was between the SSNPers that fired machine guns, even though I wasn't even in the same area at the time of the clash, a fact that the police knew, since I WAS THEN all day long taking pictures of the demonstrations and I even arrived with them to the scene).

Quote of the day

The Jewish race
A prophecy of Benjamin Franklin on 1789

"There is a grave danger for USA. This great danger is the Jew, for in every land the Jews have settled they have depressed the moral level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty. They have remained apart unassimilated, oppressed, they attempt to strangle the nations financially, as in the case of Portugal and Spain.
For more than 1700 years they have lamented their sorrowful fate, namely, that they have been driven out of their mother land, but gentlemen, if the civilized world today should give them back Palestine, they would immediately find pressing reasons for not returning there. Why?? Because they are vampires and vampires cannot live on other vampires. They cannot live among themselves; they must live on Christians or other people who do not belong to their race. (More)

Mission Statement

The purpose of this website is to promote and enlighten the general public about Anton Saadeh’s Ideology. Its target is the Syrian emigrants and their descendents in the western hemisphere. Its objectives are (1) to foster a greater awareness of, and interest in, Syria’s national cause; (2) reaffirm the conviction that Saadeh’s plan of action is the practical solution to all the internal problems and external threats that are endangering the very existence of our nation; and (3) to cultivate a rock solid determination and will to act. In particular the website targets the emerging Syrian generation abroad, whose lack of Arabic prevents them from comprehending, appreciating and applying Saadeh’s new vision to Life, the Universe and Art.

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. It is about convincing all parts of our people that their true salvation and their very existence are wholly and utterly founded on their national unity and their social cohesion. It is about making all parts of our people realise that they are not Assyrians, they are not Sumerians, they are not Chaldeans, they are not Akkadians, they are not Phoenicians, they are not Kurds, they are not Arabs, nor are they Muslims, Christians, Druze, Sunnis, Shiites, etc., but they all are Syrians moulded by the unique Syrian Civilisation and integrated into its very basic elements. It’s about leading our people to work hand-in-hand, provoked by their love for life, persuaded by their strong and free will, armed with creative minds and motivated by their harmonious and unified souls.

This is on one hand. On the other hand, the Syrian Cause is about defending the very existence of our people, their interests and their rights, against myriad of foreign and external forces that hold a real and genuine threat to this very existence and threaten its natural interests and its intrinsic rights. Our people have never experienced, at any stage of their long and exciting history, a threat similar to the ferocious threat imposed on them at the present some sadistic and satanic forces. They have never encountered any thing similar to such forces which despicable intention to uproot them from their land, the land which has embraced their fathers and ancestors for thousands of years, only to be replaced by rogues and ramblers from all over the world.
