    Israel always fears the rise of icons that enable Palestinians & the world to personalise & humanise complex issues that often drift into murky abstractions. These circulated images of a lionised is not just an icon, but a war on dehumanising Palestinian abstractions.

    Just after Saudi Arabia backing the Syrian revolution

    The biggest irony of the Arab Spring is that Turkey and Al Jazeera are backing the Iranian regime against the popular protests.

    A nice example of the Dunning-krueger effect. Needless to say: Lebanese is obviously Arabic. Author seems to conflate "Arabic" with "Classical Arabic". Classical Arabic is *not* the ancestor of Lebanese. Proto-Arabic is the shared ancestor of both Lebanese and Classical Arabic.

    I just published “No, Lebanese is not a ‘dialect’ of Arabic”

    As Americans, you need identification, sometimes in a very strong and accurate form, for almost everything you do.....except when it comes to the most important thing, VOTING for the people that run your country. Push hard for Voter Identification!

    The head of the IRGC today strongly hinted that Ahmadinejad may have played a role in the initial unrest. I think it's just a ruse to further alienate middle class fence-sitters from the protesting class.

    Question for Iran watchers: Where is Ahmedinejad on Iran protests? Did this wave start among his old electoral base?
