Mideast Daily

We all know that Imperialistic aspirations are not yet over in the world. The next thing we know is: Imperialism and divide and rule policy goes side by side – same thing that Britain did in India sixty years ago. And in Iraq, its implication is not going to be different than what it used to be. The beleaguered Bush administration now comes with the divide and rule police for…

Peace talks between Israel and Palestine is like butter extracted in the evening that melts away with the sunrise. Will ongoing Mideast peace talks provide some tangible results thus leading to a two state solution while ending illegal Israeli possession of Palestinian land? If land swap for peace is an offer, then will Israel deliver to it? Well, there are rare chances because as of now, the most generous Israeli…

The moribund peace process in Mideast and peace talks failing every time to produce laudable results, force people on both sides to think will things ever be in clear light of the day? So, do you think this time it’ll be fruitful? Well, every one knows the answer and why not. Yes, these doubts are not beyond comprehension when gun battle goes on and rockets are fired across everyday in…

Well, a sensational development in the Mideast. Is it? Yes, you read it right. There opens a new window for the Palestinians who remain divided after Hamas’ violent takeover of Gaza – a very move that not only divided Hamas and Fatah ideologically but geographically as well. Since then, both factions are running parallel governments in Gaza and West Bank. This did nothing good but made things difficult for not…

The Israeli-Palestinian issue has been eating the Middle East for centuries but never before has it attained such a nadir. No solution seems to satisfy both the parties embroiled in the conflict and the students are also getting pulled into the tug-of-war. Education is something universal, a temple that all have the right to enter. The Israeli army’s continuous denial to allow Palestinian students into Israeli universities for higher education…

Bush is closing his ears to all sensible advice on the Palestinian issue. He and his faithful deputy Condoleezza Rice want to make the forthcoming Israel-Palestinian peace conference in the US next month a success and at the same time they are shutting out Hamas totally from the picture. Hamas is popular amongst the Palestinians and it has won elections fairly held in Palestine. It has shown its capacity to…

Jerusalem has been a bone of contention between Israel and Palestine. The holy city is often the unholy battleground for these two forces, and blood of innocents is spilled in the city frequently. Israel sees the city as its undivided capital, but for the Palestinians, it is a symbol of hope and prosperity. Even under increased international pressure no solution to the Middle East problem has been outlined. But after…

It is a known fact that the root cause of an unstable Mideast lies in the age-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Without any constructive peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians leading to the creation of a separate Palestinian state living peacefully with Israel, there is virtually no hope for the stability in the region. As American secretary of state Condoleeza Rice gets ready to visit Bethlehem to meet both the…

Mordecai Vanunu was an Israeli under-cover agent who blew the whistle on Israel’s nuclear programme to the world. He was whisked away from the streets of London in broad day-light by Mossad agents and served a very long term in solitary prison confinement. He was recently released but now again is under house arrest in Israel. Vanunu is an old man now. Israel treats him ruthlessly, and then one can…
