UAE repression
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have vehemently protested against the mass arrest of 94 people, their alleged torture while in Abu Dhabi jails, a "fundamentally unfair" trial, and long prison sentences with no right of appeal handed down earlier this month to the 69 people convicted. Amnesty said the treatment of the 94 in the United Arab Emirates, where Sheikh Mansour al-Nahyan's family, rulers of the richest emirate, Abu Dhabi, are dominant, "shows the authorities' determination to crush any form of dissent"."

Bishop Labib Kopti of San Francisco
Bishop Labib Kopti of SF is circulating bigoted anti-Islam videos via email. I won't cover up for him because he is pro-Palestinian.
Franklin Lamb's congressional contacts and dumb Hizbullah media
Don't you like his congressional contacts who all sound just like him? " When asked for the main reasons the EU caved to White House pressure, a congressional contact who works with the Office of White House liaison succinctly replied: “Getting Israel of their backs for the EU boycott of the West Bank settlements, Assads apparent victory in Syria aided big-time by Hezbollah, and Obama wanting some progress with Kerry’s ‘peace talks’ project. He added, “Plus it was a politically inexpensive feel good affair that won’t have any real impact except for a PR gain for Livni who will use it in her campaign to replace Netanyahu.”". You have to be as dumb as Hizbullah media to believe this.

Church repression of the arts in Lebanon
This is noticeable in Western media and Western human rights organizations that serve as mere arms of US foreign policy apparatus: they don't report about gruesome sexist murders in the region if the killers are Christian and they don't report about religious repression when at the hands of the church.
Did you know that Muslim women in Lebanon don't wear jeans?
This ignorant Zionist "reporter" is able to know they are Christian from their jeans: " Young Christian women in skintight jeans, high heels and super-skimpy tops flirted with tanned beach boys". (Thanks Talal)
Syrian refugees in Lebanon
" With the government providing none of the facilities and land that authorities in Turkey, Jordan and Iraq have allocated for the refugees, many Syrians in Lebanon live in appalling conditions, finding shelter in slums, tents and tin shacks strung with laundry lines and wedged between farm lands outside towns and cities. On a casual walk in Beirut, one finds Syrians sheltering in underground parking lots, under bridges and old construction sites with no running water, sanitation, electricity or protection from Lebanon's sizzling summers and its freezing winters." (thanks Basim)
Repression in Ramallah
From a reader: "I am sending you this video to show the extent of suppression that the PA police took yesterday against the PFLP protest against return to negotiations in Ramallah. Kindly keep me anonymous. The police beat up MP member Khaleda Jarrar of the PFLP and scores of others and took 4 injured men from the hospital for detention. The men were later released in the night after a protest again in front of the police station in the Manara square. The second protest, shortly after the Iftar was marked with (shabiba) Fatah men who tried to cause discord and schisms with the protesters and harassing them saying things like : We have kept our women in the house, bel rouh bel dam nafdeek ya abu Mazen, whereas the protesters called after Palestine: bel rouh bel dam nafdeeki ya flisteen. Clearly this time around the extreme violence that the PA police used means that the PA does not want any objections to the return to negotiations with Israel and they are inspired by El Sissi's suppression of dissent in Egypt among the Muslim Brothers. "

Forbidden love in Lebanon
My weekly article in Al-Akhbar: "Forbidden love and the male sexual organ"
From Jadaliyya: the Sisi coup "revolution"
" Similar to what they have done after 11 February 2011, the officers today are promoting a narrative in which they have (once again) intervened heroically to save the day and “protect the revolution.” Accordingly, after they helped oust Morsi out of power, the officers are now asking Egyptians for pay back. The people are now to offer a blind, if not supportive, eye to the military practices as it employs deadly force, repression, and xenophobia to force its challengers into submission. The fear mongering discourse that the military has used as part of its “war on terror” initiative has clearly turned into more than just “words,” after security forces killed dozens of Muslim Brotherhood protesters Friday night, and dozens others in previous attacks. Yesterday’s brutal attacks came right after millions of Egyptians rallied in nationwide public gatherings in support of Minister of Defense Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s request for a popular mandate to deal with imminent “terrorist” threats. Many media outlets and opinion shapers in Egypt have uncritically expressed support for this alarming development. This pattern only highlights the extent to which advocates of dignity and justice in the country face an uphill battle in countering the attempts of the military and their allies to liquidate political dissent and dictate the terms of the new political order." (Thanks Bassam)

American eugenics
""While North Carolina's numbers might pale in comparison, the state was consistently the most aggressive. Under the guise of public health and safety, North Carolina was the only state to allow social workers to designate people for sterilization, the New York Times reported. The standards by which an individual could be forcibly sterilized in the state were also some of the most lax in the nation. Unmarried women with children, African Americans, individuals with an I.Q. under 70, the mentally ill and children from poor families were just some of the many groups all routinely sought out and sterilized. In records obtained by the Charlotte Observer, patient notes for sterilized victims paint a by-the-book, apathetic disregard for the well being of those coming in and out of surgery. "A woman, 24, pregnant with an out-of-wedlock child: This girl is sexually promiscuous and a pauper," reads one. "A woman, 35, deserted by her husband years before, who has just given birth to her ninth child: She is unable to provide the barest necessities for them or to give them minimum supervision and care," reads another. In a March 1945 article for The Charlotte News, freelance writer Evangeline Davis made the case for eugenics: "No matter what our feelings concerning the mentally deficient, it is senseless and cruel, in the end, to permit them to procreate and bring into the world more of their kind," she wrote."" (Thanks Christian)
This should be a major political event
Marwan Al-Mu'ashshir announces his plan to return to Jordan to lead a new political party comprising all five of his supporters (sorry, four because one just left). He also said that he was a democrat even when he served as Minister of Censorship. The return of Mu'ashshir to Jordan is as dramatic as the return of Ahmad Chalabi to Iraq.
Sisi's war on terror
The features of the new coup regime and the aim of the new megalomanic of Egypt are by now clear. The attempt to steal from the aura of Nasser is comical if not tragic and murderous. Western media, still suffering from Cold War the of Nasser, refer to Nasser as dictator. In one day Sisi killed more than the Nasser's regime in its entirety. There was no such mass shooting under Nasser. And you look at the Western media and you see casual justifications of the mass shooting. No calls in the Western media for arming the Ikhwan as they do in the case of Syria. Egyptian liberals and some leftists and some Nasserists there are walking to the scaffold head high and under heavy dosage of delusions as those communists who aligned themselves with Khomeini. Look at this sample of description, nay justification, of the shooting: "The clashes started in the late evening of Friday when protesters from the Rabea al-Adaweya sit-in marched toward the October Six Bridge and started blocking its entrance on Nasr Street, eyewitnesses said. The police intervened and fired tear gas to disperse them. Clashes started shortly after, with birdshot and live ammunition used."
Exclusive: How Saudi Arabia picked leader of the Syrian exile opposition
This is what has not been reported about how Saudi Arabia picked the leader of the Syrian National Coalition, with the full support of the (fake) progressive boy of Bandar, Michel Kilu. Ahmad Al-Jarba, the tribal polygamist who was unknown in opposition circles inside and outside Syria, was picked purely because he is related by marriage to Saudi King Abdullah. The Saudi King is currently married to two sisters from Al-Jarba family: Tadi and Malika Al-Jarba (his other two wives are from the Sha'lan and the Muhanna families.) Enjoy your Syrian polygamist "revolution".
PS Correction. Tadi and Malikah are cousins and not sisters.

Syrian Sunnis fear Assad regime wants to 'ethnically cleanse' Alawite heartland
Martin Chulov and Mona Mahmood
The Guardian, Monday 22 July 2013 15.06 EDT
It gives exactly one minor counterexample of Sunni rebel "cleansing" Alawites,
yet every single paragraph leads one to the conclusion that the Syrian state/allied militia are uniquely and intentionally pursuing an 'sectarian cleansing' agenda.
No mentioning of the sectarian cleansing of christians in Qusair (before being retaken) or multitudes of other towns, who were told "convert or die".No mentioning of the replete examples of explicit exterminationist sectarian agenda of the Sunni-sectarian rebels.OF COURSE no mention of Sunnis living in government controlled districts and fighting for regime forces.
It gives a bunch of examples of the regime arming Alawite civilians as proof of sectarian cleansing agenda.
What non-Sunnis are being armed by the rebels? Get real."The general mood among pro-Assad people started to include the possibility of the fall of Damascus, which leaves them under the rule of the FSA [Free Syrian Army rebels] and the Sunnis ... and for the majority of people here it is better to live in an Alawite state, which they feel should include Homs."
Of course nobody is particularly fearing the fall of Damascus now. So all the Sunni-sectarian's theories have been proved to be bullshit.
This whole theory was predicated on their triumphalist strategic thinking which implied the functional sectarian cleansing of Damascus BY Sunnis against Alawites.
"There have been obvious examples of denominational cleansing in different areas in Homs," said local activist, Abu Rami. "It is denominational cleansing; part of a major Iranian Shia plan, which is obvious through the involvement of Hezbollah and Iranian militias. And it's also part of Assad's personal Alawite state project."
"The Syrian regime is using a few military men who served during the civil war in Lebanon as military advisers and they came up with this plan of isolating Alawite villages and Sunni districts. A plan they executed in Lebanon is now history repeating itself."
Oh yes, the Lebanon war experience. SAA fighting Hezbollah.
Involvement of Hezbollah obviously proves a sectarian cleansing agenda. Except Hezbollah has not been implicated in that at all.
I mean, if they were, I'd think FSA/SOHR would mention it. And this is all part of Assad's personal Alawite state "project".
NEWSFLASH: Syria was already Assad's personal state, and he benefitted from including non-Alawite's in it.
No mention of the fact that ALL non-Sunni (and plenty of Sunnis, both Arabs and especially Kurds) are more comfortable with Assad than the "rebels". Some Alawite state.
"Nine months ago, the regime created the National Defence Army, which is Shabiha [loyalist militia of Shia and Alawite] volunteers," he said. "They are the most bloody killers, even more brutal than the army."
I'm pretty sure the Guardian itself has written of NDA/Shabiha including members of others sects, Christians in particular. Are Christians now crypto-Shia along with Alawites?
They quote Jumblatt but never mention the position of Syrian Druze.
(I guess the Druze who go along with the regime must count as Shia as well, only the 'good' Druze like Jumblatt are not amongst the Shia dogs?)
Jumblatt: "The crucial point was when the battle of Homs started and it quickly became clear that the regime wanted to clear the whole route to Damascus and beyond.
Wait: When did the battle of Homs start? When rebels started trying to take it over and shooting regime forces? Or when the regime started winning?
"In Homs city, Abu Ahmed, a commander of the FSA-aligned al-Farouq brigade, said: "The regime is encouraging Alawite families in the Homs countryside who have friction with Sunnis to head to Alawite districts in the city. We are pretty sure that the regime wants to take Homs city and countryside and make it just for Alawites."
Hm. I presume the commander of the al-Farouq brigade would tell us up front if these Alawites were facing difficulties living in Sunni rebel dominated areas, right?
So there couldn't be any reason why they would leave such areas to move to "Alawite districts of Homs" other than sectarian cleansing of Sunni Homs residents.Wait...
How does Alawites moving into Alawite districts lead to sectarian cleansing of Sunnis? ...But maybe this guy is on to something big...
If Assad is planning to cleanse Homs of Sunnis... We should be expecting a pullout of all Sunni soldiers in the SAA from Homs, right? That sounds pretty significant.Compare:comments from sources with clear anti-regime agenda are NEVER given any sectarian affiliation at all,
which of course lessens the perception of them as pursuing a sectarian agenda:
"What else could be going on?" asked one resident who refused to be identified. "This is the most secure area of the city and it is the only building that has been burned. A conspiracy is underway."
"There have been obvious examples of denominational cleansing in different areas in Homs," said local activist, Abu Rami. "It is denominational cleansing; part of a major Iranian Shia plan, which is obvious through the involvement of Hezbollah and Iranian militias. And it's also part of Assad's personal Alawite state project."
But Alawites are routinely identified as such, sometimes with NO other information about them other than being an Alawite:
""There was one [supply run] in 2012 and two months ago," one Alawite said. "Now every household in the Alawite villages across the coast receives a government-sponsored package of an AK‑47, two hand grenades and ammunition. If you joined a 'public resistance movement' you'd receive a lot more.""
"Residents of Alawite strongholds in Tartus and Latakia confirmed that arms had been offered to them three times since the uprising began in March 2011."
But Tartus and Latakia are majority Sunni. So how can they be Alawite strongholds? In fact, they are REGIME strongholds, not Alawite strongholds.
Even within the article it acknowledges that the "Alawite State retreating to ethnically cleansed homeland when Damascus falls" doesn't match up with current reality,
even though they rely on that premise for much of the article as a plausible rationale for much of the commentary and conclusions drawn.
You would be amused that Israel manages to play a special cameo role, supposedly negotiating over the (now revealed to be very unlikely, but don't let that affect your judgement of the reliability of FSA sources) "Alawite retreat from Damascus" scenario: what was the negotiation? Returning or revealing the location of a handful of Israeli military who were captured in Lebanon (ON OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS, obviously). as well as the body of Israeli spy caught and executed in Syria. The article didn't make it clear how hard of a bargain Israel insisted on driving in order to cooperate with a religious minority not being subject to an exterminationist sectarian cleansing."

I say Arab liberals deserve Al-Baradei
Without their own candidate, the liberals were faced with a choice in the runoff between a military-backed candidate and the Islamist Morsi. Most chose Morsi. A delegation of youth leaders met with the Brotherhood nominee and extracted promises: Secular ministers would be included in the cabinet, and the new constitution would be forged by a consensus among secular and Islamist parties."
The fate of Aleppo's two bishops
It is said that the murderers have different nationalities. One of them is from Russia, the other one is from Chechenya while the third one is bearing the Syrian nationality. According to the same reports, Turkish authorities extradited three killers to their countries.
On the same day pro-opposition Syrian observatory claimed that the fates of bishops are still unclear.
Some Turkish sources claimed in May that the two bishops were kidnapped by a group close to Turkey, who are also responsible of kidnapping 11 Lebanese pilgirms. Some sources in Syriac community in Turkey told daily Sol that before the kidnapping of Yohanna İbrahim, Turkish Foreign Minister tried to convince them to move their center from Damascus to Turkey. And he was kidnapped just a week later they returned the offer of Davutoğlu. They claimed that there should be a relation between Davutoğlu's offer and the kidnapping. Turkish goverment has been trying to convince Syriacs, offer them citizenship and houses to defect from Syria to show that "even Christians flee from the dictatorship."
Talal Asad in Jadaliyya: when he speaks, I listen
TA: I mean the army as well as the fuloul—that is, the beneficiaries of the Mubarak regime. I think they knew exactly what they were doing, I think that they took advantage of a certain amount of popular dissatisfaction, and there was a lot of mutual coming and going between them. For example, Mohamed ElBaradei had conversations some months ago in Saudi Arabia with Ahmed Shafiq, the old candidate who stood unsuccessfully against Morsi and was the last prime minister under Mubarak’s rule, and who represents (or at least one of the people who represents) interests of Mubarak’s beneficiaries–including the army. And they certainly made all sorts of agreements there as leaders of the National Salvation Front, and I cannot believe that the army was not aware of that communication. I think perhaps that most of the young people in the Tamarod Movement were probably not aware–although it now turns out that some of the biggest millionaires, like Naguib Sawiris, for example, were bankrolling the movement and supporting it in other ways. So I think there was a “coordination”–if not a “conspiracy” as many now allege–to make the opposition effective by fair means or foul. What worries me really is the intervention of the army, something that was not anticipated by everyone (although some NSF leaders had publicly called for it), and the consequent suspension of the constitution that had been approved by a substantial majority in a referendum. I am worried that now there is a total vacuum that will be filled for a long time by the army, despite the fact that the temporary president, appointed by the army (and who was head of the pro-Mubarak Supreme Constitutional Court), has been accorded powers that exceed those which the suspended constitution gave to Morsi, the elected president."

Crimes of the Syrian regime: from Al-Akhbar's editor-in-chief
Even before the Syrian uprising broke out, there was an army of corrupt officials operating like mafias in all aspect of the state bureaucracy. They are the ones to blame for having alienated a sizeable section of the Syrian population in the first place.
They come in all shapes and sizes: those who hoard goods to raise prices, who gamble with the country’s currency, who smuggle and sell Syria’s heritage on the black market, who are outright thieves and criminals dressed up as soldiers. They can carry on because they enjoy political cover from officials with influence in government.
Some have even committed the ugliest massacres like the one in the town of al-Baidaa (Banyas), in the name of the Popular Committees tasked with defending their localities. Has anyone in the upper echelons of the state heard of Hilal al-Assad and his gang? Do they actually think his presence on the ground actually helps Syria?
And what about the security forces and their many criminal practices, be it kidnapping protesters they filmed at demonstrations for ransom, to arresting and harassing people for voicing the slightest objection to government policies, to the mistreatment of those imprisoned in the regime’s notorious detention centers."
