The High Dam : A Bless Or A Curse

Egyptian Chronicles - Wed, 2010-02-17 00:33 By

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 »

The battle for the Israeli army's soul

The Traveller Within - Thu, 2009-12-10 01:52 By Mo-ha-med

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. Yet the State seems severely unprepared to meet the challenge.

Here's how the story goes: Hala Mustafa, long time journalist and editor-in-chief of the 'Democracy' review issued by Al-Ahram - the chief government mouthpiece - meets with the Israeli ambassador, Shalom Cohen (can his name be any more caricaturally Israeli?:) for a routine discussion - about organising a panel discussion with Egyptian and Israeli academics, on the peace process or what have you. A routine, organisational meeting.

Israel okays changes to Egypt gas deal

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 »

Amnesty accuses Israel of using human shields in Gaza

SHE2I2 - Thu, 2009-07-02 07:13 By Jano Charbel
JERUSALEM (AFP) — Amnesty International on Thursday accused Israeli forces of war crimes, saying they used children as human shields and conducted wanton attacks on civilians during their offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The London-based human rights group also accused Hamas of war crimes, but said it found no evidence that the Islamist rulers of Gaza used civilians as human shields during the 22-day offensive Israel launched on December 28.

It also reiterated its call for an international arms embargo against Israel.

"Much of the destruction was wanton and resulted from direct attacks on civilian objects," Amnesty said in a study.

Activists vow to keep up Gaza trips despite Israel

SHE2I2 - Thu, 2009-07-02 07:03 By Jano Charbel
NICOSIA, July 1 (Reuters) - Pro-Palestinian activists vowed on Wednesday to continue to defy an Israeli navy blockade around Gaza, a day after Israel seized their boat and detained 21 people taking aid to the territory.

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.

The activists, called the Free Gaza Movement, first started sending aid directly into Gaza in August 2008, but had been intercepted by the Israeli navy on two previous occasions.

ISMAILIA, Egypt, June 28 (Reuters) - Egyptian police shot dead an African migrant and wounded two others, including a 15-year-old, at the Israeli border on Sunday, security sources told Reuters.

The killing is the second of an unarmed migrant on Egypt's border with Israel in less than a week.

The security sources said they had spotted three men attempting to slip across the border into Israel and ordered them to stop, opening fire when the migrants failed to do so.

The unidentified African man was killed by a bullet fired into the right side of his chest, and the two Eritreans with him were also shot, the sources said.

An Interesting List You've Never Known About.. Deception At It's Best
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.
