The High Dam : A Bless Or A Curse
Hopefully insh Allah this will not be the last post about the high dam jubilee
Last January 15th 2010 Egypt has celebrated the jubilee of launching the high dam aka Aswan Dam construction in 1960. Unfortunately we did not celebrate it as it should because of the heavy rains that hit Aswan. We were supposed to have more celebrations especially that three countries are participating in the event : Egypt , Russia "for its huge support" and Syria 'as we were one country then'. It is great anniversary for sure and it is sad that younger generations do not know or understand its importance or its controversy. read more »
"Islam Conquers Jerusalem", says Haaretz
If it's not too clear, allow me to describe it:
The battle for the Israeli army's soul
The secular identity and image of the Israeli Army (IDF) is undergoing radical changes in favour of a religion-infused ideology that could threaten not only its relation with the Israeli establishment, but even undermine the outcome of a potential peace process.

Bikya Masr
29 August 2009
CAIRO: Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) announced that its board members have approved changes to a previous agreement with Egypt. The statement on Thursday says the new deal will create a steady flow of natural gas into the Jewish state.
The IEC said in a statement that as a result of the changes that have occurred in the global fuel market and with new costs of gas production in Egypt, the new deal changes the price of gas for the export deal that has left many Egyptian activists angered.
The IEC did not provide exact details of the new arrangement, but said that it took into account political pressures in Egypt. read more »

Israel boarded a small ferry carrying activists to Gaza on Tuesday, intercepting the vessel in Gaza's Israeli-controlled coastal waters. Those detained included an Irish peace laureate, a former member of the U.S. Congress and charity workers from Bahrain.

Did You Know?
The following is also a list of Did-you-know facts that we don't hear about in the media. Western governments hide these facts from the people in order to show how "righteous" Israel is and how much of victims they are, and that we, Arabs, are the terrorists and that we do not want peace, whereas Israel is promoting peace. America is full of shit. Just look at how racist and violent Israel is.

It was last week when Obama gave his historic acceptance speech that was full of applauds and approvals (and acceptance). Americans were assured of their heroic nation's future and safety as Obama laid out his agenda for the coming year... and bashed Arabs.
