Syrian blood is worth no less than Palestinian blood
It is time to boycott all Palestinian leaders in Israel who support Assad’s war crimes or do not publicly take a stand against them. By Marzuq Al-Halabi There is not much left to say about Aleppo.

Syria, my love
The Syria that was once an icon of enlightenment and education has been erased, crushed under barrel bombs and proxy power struggles, as the world watches and waits to see how it will all end. What, after all, have we learned from history? Run, run away all you strong and invulnerable Israelis, and all you Palestinian…

What’s an illegal settlement?
The Israeli government is working tirelessly to retroactively legalize over 100 illegal West Bank outposts. They’ll probably get away with it. Is that such a bad thing?

Only once Western democracies have committed their resources to ending the atrocities in Syria can they turn inward to rid their societies of the hate and bigotry that plagues them.

Who speaks for Syria?
We who are Syria’s neighbors, among whom so many of Syria’s victims have sought shelter, owe it to them — and to ourselves — to speak honestly and without shame about this singularly Arab tragedy.

‘100 Days in Syria’: An eyewitness account of a country imploding
By Yacov Ben Efrat In seeking the “truth” about Syria, I came across a book by Lebanese reporter Ghadi Francis, “My pen and pain: One hundred days in Syria” (Beirut: Saqi Books 2012), in Arabic. I did not find the “truth” but I did find many things which explain the outbreak of revolution in Syria, and especially its…

To liberate Syria, the West must curb its savior fantasy
While it is increasingly evident something must be done to stop the violence in Syria, the history of intervention in internal conflicts has shown there are no quick fixes. Western powers must realize that in order to liberate Syria all they can do is help the Syrians help themselves. By Yoni Eshpar | From Hebrew:…
