The Privileged Victims

(Ben Heine © Cartoons)

Those who were lucky enough to leave Auschwitz, alive,
found back their homes and their country.

Those who may one day leave Gaza, alive,
have no home nor a country.
Or at least they have had once a home and a country
but the same jailers of Gaza occupy the homes and the country
of those same Gazzeans.

Those who left Auschwitz alive have had the remainder of a life , to live it.

Leave Gaza today......and what life you get ??
a refugee in Egypt ???
or a refugee in the Sinai desert ??....just like Moses !!
or a refugee camp in Lebanon ??

By the time the victims of Auschwitz got out
their oppressors were defeated already.
By the time the victims of Gaza might get out,
their oppressors are alive ,active and very healthy !!

Therefore I say :
the privileged went to Auschwitz
and the less-privileged are in Gaza........

It is the same crime ,
but only the criminals have changed.

War and Peace الحرب والسلام

War and Peace:

There are two kinds of Arabs :

1. Those who want War
in order to reach full liberation
and consequently Peace

and

2. Those who want Peace
just to avoid loosing another war,
or not to loose their "seats".

There are two kinds of Israelis :

1: Those who want War
in order to never having to reach any Peace
and consequently having to return
any of the stolen-lands

and

2. Those who want, only, endless-Peace-Negotiations
in order to never reaching the Peace .

Raja Chemayel
wanting the war for the sake of peace.

هناك نوعان من العرب
1 – هؤلاء الذين يريدون الحرب
لتحقيق التحرير الكامل
وبالتالي السلام
و...
2 – هؤلاء الذين يريدون السلام
فقط لتفادي خسارة حرب جديدة
أو كي لا يفقدوا "كراسيهم وعروشهم"

وهناك نوعان من الصهاينة:
1 - هؤلاء الذين يريدون الحرب
كي يتفادوا مطلقاً تحقيق السلام
وبالتالي إعادة الأراضي السليبة
و
2 - هؤلاء الذين يريدون محادثات سلام لا نهاية لها
كي لا يتحقق السلام مطلقا

رجا الشميل
يريدون الحرب لتحقيق السلام

The Terror of a name

Keep on calling me "Terrorist"
until I shall become one.

Keep on treating me like a Terrorist
and then I shall behave like one.

Keep on bombing my cities , my schools,
bulldozing my olive trees
and encircling my villages with a wall
then I shall declare Terrorism as legal......
and of national-interest !!


Hang my Saddam and bomb my Beirut
I shall , no less, resist
Bomb my Tripoli and bomb my other Tripoli
bomb Baghdad and Jenin......
I shall resist even more !

Let my sister decide by herself ,
what she wants to do with her veil.....

Let Democracy grow naturally
and do not artificially- feed all our Dictators... .


Call me not Terrorist from out of the cockpit of your "B52"
I shall resist.....
Call me not Terrorist from out of 10 Downing Street.
I shall remind you of Lord Balfour

To call me something else ,

will not make you a better-monster, neither.

Calling me resistance-fighter ,

will not make you a lesser criminal, neither.

You are what you are ......
and calling me a Terrorist, would not change you !!


Give me back my country and my own destiny
and I shall no more be your Terrorist.

Machiavelli revisited the Lebanon

Condi Rice and a Saudi Prince
have planned and planted Fateh el Islam in the Lebanon
to provoke a civil war in which Hezbollah
would have had to take part.
The Hiriri clan welcomed this diabolic move
in order to brake its siege,
and to add one more accusation on Syria's long list.

In the meantime ,
30.000 Palestinians-refugees lost even their refuges
and the Lebanese Army has around 100 widows more.
The economy in North Lebanon is paralysed
and the Lebanese-touristic-season 2007 is up in the air.....


The only good news among this rubble of Machiavellic-destructions
is that Hezbollah did not respond to any provocations,
did not enter the dance........and did not fall in this trap .

A year ago Hezbollah scored a military victory
and this time a political one....

Well done David !!
Well done Ya Dawood !!

Goliath must think again very carefully
for his third time.....next year......


Raja Chemayel
who shall not spend his summer holidays in the Lebanon
because it is getting over crowded this year....

Double-Standards.....

Double-Standards
are no-Standards. ..

And no-Standards
are a source of injustice...

And that same injustice leads us to Terrorism.


Have you seen any Terrorism
anywhere with Justice ??

Have you seen Justice
somewhere with Double-Standards ??

Have you ever seen Zionism
without Terrorism ??
ours, and or theirs ??


Have you seen American-Justice
anywhere outside the USA ??
and how about inside it ??

تضارب المعايير
...تعني لا معايير
وانعدام المعايير
...مصدر للظلم

وهذا الظلم...
يورد الإرهاب

هل رأيتم إرهابا
أينما كان بوجود العدالة؟؟؟

وهل صادفتم العدالة...
في ظل تضارب المعايير؟؟؟

المهم، هل رأيتم الصهيونية
بلا إرهاب؟؟؟
"إرهابنا" أو إرهابهم؟؟؟!

وهل صادفتم عدالة أمريكية
خارج الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية؟؟؟
وكيف في داخلها؟؟؟
