ARAB UPRISINGS: Time-Out For Israel Is Over
History is taking a new turn in the Middle East and so is the Arab-Israeli conflict.
By Dr. Ashraf Ezzat / Staff Writer
Muammar Gaddafi
“I have not yet ordered the use of force, not yet ordered one bullet to be fired … when I do, everything will burn.”
.. Shouted Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, and pounded his fist in a furious speech to the Libyan people.
He referred to the Libyan protesters who called for his stepping down from office as stray dogs, rats and drugged youth, he even went so far as to follow the American vogue trend and amusingly alleged that this uprising was orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
For anyone who’s not familiar with Gaddafi or haven’t seen or heard him talk, this might come as a total shock for what came in that speech and the rude and threatening tone in which it was delivered represented the ultimate paranoia and detachment from reality any dictator could reach. Even the Arabs and Libyans familiar with Gaddafi have also been stunned by his outrageous and humiliating words.
Haunted by the successful ousting of the leaders of two neighboring countries of Egypt and Tunisia, Gaddafi has already set up his mind not to follow in the footsteps of Zine Elabedine or Mubarak. Contemplating the scenarios of the two uprisings, He reached one conclusion and one conclusion only; he would not make any concessions nor start a dialogue with the protesters.
The Libyan leader has decided to show no leniency in dealing with this uprising – which he never saw it coming his way- he relentlessly began to crack down on protesters allowing his paramilitary and mercenary forces to use live ammunition in a desperate attempt to crush the revolt leaving thousands wounded and dead so far.
Historical changes
The uprising of the Libyan people is bound to succeed; it is only a matter of time before another Arabic tyrant falls down in the convulsing Arabic countries in North Africa & the Middle East.
And as the unprecedented images of the millions of Egyptian protesters swarming Tahrir Square in Cairo gave the world the truest picture of people longing for free and dignified life, the Gaddafi’s pathetic speech and his crimes against the Libyans gave the perfect example of a dictator with delusions of grandeur nearing utter insanity.
Gaddafi’s harsh reaction to the uprising has evoked worldwide resentment and contempt of the Libyan regime which in a rare and historical moment of truth has been stripped off its fake patriotic masquerade and exposed its stark contempt and exploitation of the Libyan people for the entire world to see.
Arab popular uprisings
The Arab world is witnessing historical changes nowadays; it has proven beyond most political analysts and observers` expectations, no one has clearly seen this coming. As a matter of fact, there Were some speculations of upheavals and uprisings across the Middle East but they were expected to erupt amongst the economically underprivileged communities, as there has been speculated in Egypt with this reiterated talk amongst the intelligentsia of what they called “revolution of the hungry”
To everybody’s amazement, the Arab people- in Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia – did not revolt against the ruling regimes out of economic and political grievances only but mainly out of a deeply rooted sense of humiliation, contempt and injustice by autocratic and self-serving regimes.
The people who were marching in Tunisia or Bahrain were neither starving nor homeless, they were the middle class taking to the streets, camping out on squares, bleeding on the streets and even willing to die on the streets for one cherished goal of change. The change in the Arab world means dealing with a lot of socio-economic grievances but change in the broader sense means changing the way those Arab people have been ruled in the last decades.
Regardless of what some observers are saying of a conspiracy theory behind this expanding phenomenon and the alleged covert role of the American CIA or Israeli Mossad in these uprisings, the thing that sounded absolutely ridiculous and rather offending to the young generations steering this heroic uprisings and who have been totally underrated for their abilities to spark a new dawn over the political horizon of the region, these uprisings proved that those same American and Israeli covert policies in their close support and collaboration with most dictatorships in the Arab world are to be partly blamed for lingering and maintaining such regimes in power knowing how much corrupt they have been.
Israel, as a Middle Eastern nation and being in conflict with the Arab world, has substantially benefited from decades of neighboring dictatorships oppressing the Arab people and denying them their true demands and aspirations, after all Israel is an oppressive regime and a military dictatorship whose aims run counter to most arab people’s and which acted with more audacity in an environment of surrounding and lingering political dictatorships.
For decades the Arab people ached and felt for their Palestinian brothers and their political right to their homeland, but there was not much they could do, with all this corrupt and backstage policy by corrupt and traitorous regimes. Israel has been able to illegally grab most of Palestine’s land but at the same time failed to hijack the all Arabs’ dream of free Palestine. The Arab voices always wanted free Palestine and liberated Jerusalem; this is the actual Arab street policy.
The Arab-Israeli game
After being internationally recognized as a new nation amidst Arab countries in 1948 and in order to serve its aggressive and expansionist policy in Palestine, Israel needed time-more than anything else- to make those new Zionist geo-political findings as facts on the ground and nothing seemed to serve those end goals better than ever new Israeli aggressions, strong and blind support from the united states and backstage deals with authoritarian and corrupt Arab rulers, whom while trying to guarantee their grip on power, were willing to give Israel more than she even asked for.
Arab rulers gave Israel the long peace and quiet on the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, they gave her the normalization of political relations with Tel Aviv offered by many capitols in the Arab world from Doha/Qatar in the east to Rabat/Morocco in the far west and even some of the corrupt negotiators of the Palestinian authority have offered to give Israel unbelievable concessions regarding the hot topics of the west bank and East Jerusalem thus denying millions of Palestinians the right to return to their homeland as revealed lately by the Palestine papers leaked by Aljazeera.
Egyptian Revolution
These Arabic uprisings are obviously grassroots movements gaining momentum by the power of the people all across the Arab world, no country is considered immune from this revolutionary tide in the Middle East as expectations have been growing that the strong wind of change would reach as far as Damascus and Tehran.
Amidst that unprecedented tide of change Israel is caught up in amazement with her ongoing plan for inciting another American military suicide in Iran undeterred and covering the whole west bank with settlements shamefully uninterrupted by the white house.
Part of the rage displayed by the people in these uprisings is at the Israeli aggression and the crimes committed against their Palestinian brothers as one of the major and obvious demands of the Egyptian January 25th revolution is to stop exporting the Egyptian crude natural gas to Israel in a clear message that urges the Egyptian government to stop supporting and collaborating with the occupying and aggressive Zionist regime.
The Arabic street is the one who is calling the shots now, the coming Arab policies will try and reflect the pulse of the Arabic street. The united Arab sounds are to be heard at last where no American veto could come out to obliterate the truth and where no need to waste more than one million innocent Arabs to allegedly get rid of a dictator.
It is time for the Palestinian intifada to spread beyond the borders of Palestine. It is time for Arab solidarity to come into action and effect and for pan-Arabism to be revived again; it is time for the Arab-Israeli conflict to be conducted by regimes that won’t sell out the Palestinian cause in secret.
All the Arab authoritarian regimes like that of Gaddafi will soon come to an end; history is taking a new turn in the Middle East and so is the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Israel’s bargain with corrupt Arab dictatorships is over. These corrupt regimes have given Israel the greatest gifts of all, namely time to allow and fortify the Zionist expansion on the ground. The time out for Israel in the Arab-Israeli game is over. Another round is soon to begin with hopefully new rules.

أن ثورة الشعوب العربية على الظلم والإهانة والأستبداد وتطلعها إلى حياة حرة كريمة تدفعها الآن أن تقود أوطانها بشرف وكرامة ودون الرضوخ لأي ضغوط لتجبرها في السير في إتجاة مصالح الأخرين وليس في مصلحة شعوبها وأوطانها .
حان الآن أن تتوحد الشعوب العربية في مطالبها ضد الظلم والقهر والأستعمار ، كما توحدت تلك الشعوب في ثوراتها .
وكما كان نداء الشعوب في ثوراتها ضد ديكتاتورياتها ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام ) فلينتبه الأخرون أن نداء الشعوب العربية المحرره سوف يكون ( الشعوب العربية تريد إسقاط الأستعمار .. الشعوب العربية تريد الحياه في سلام وبكرامة ومساواة ) فهل من يستمع؟؟

My sincere congratulations to the brave Arabian people.
Unlike the dictators and their allies, the western governments, you bring real hope to Palestine.
You will be victorious in your just struggle for freedom of oppression.
I believe you.. Wouldn`t it be nice, change- not Obama style but down to earth, long awaited- change.. wouldn`t it be nice if, for once, the Palestinians finally got the justice they so richly deserve..

The Israel vs Palistine is a family fight. Nothing worse than a family fight/divided. One side will always see the other as getting the larger piece of the pie. The only solution is for one side to wipe the other side out. Until that happens nothing will ever be enough for either side. SAD SAD SAD
For this talk about family argument, I urge you to read my article posted in VT, “Palestinians are the descendants of the ancient Israelites”
This is not a family dispute, it never was.
Family fight?? They were invaded!
The Revolution can be hijacked in Egypt, if it’s not already hijacked by the military. I don’t think there’s any reason to trust PM Ahmed Shafik (who has stated that Mubarak is his spiritual father), or defence minister Tantawi who has been described as Mubarak’s poodle, nor the Mubarak foreign minister who is still in power, and others. These guys are basically criminals.
Jewish Zionist extremist Joseph Lieberman, together with John McCain visited Cairo yesterday. I don’t think this is wonderful news. http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/news/mccain-cairo-discuss-egyptian-developments?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Mubarak Toppled by CIA Because He Opposed US Plans for War with Iran; US Eyes Seizure of Suez Canal; Was this the Threat that Forced Mubarak to Quit?
[Traduction]

February 18, 2011
Washington DC, Feb. 18, 2011 — There never was an “Egyptian revolution,” but rather a behind-the-scenes military putsch by a junta of CIA puppet generals who evidently could not succeed in their goal of ousting Hosni Mubarak without the help of a heavy-duty ultimatum from Washington in the night between Thursday, February 10 and Friday, February 11, 2011. There is growing evidence that the threat in question involved the seizure or blocking of the Suez Canal, the Egyptian waterway which carries over 8% of all seaborne world trade, which the imperialists tried to grab back in 1956, and from which they would today like to exclude China, Iran, and Russia.
“There never was an Egyptian Revolution” … , I have no comment on that.

THE WRECKING OF NORTH AFRICA
SAS enters Libya (Mail on Sunday).
Libya, once one of the poorest countries in the world, now has the highest Human Development Index score in Africa. (Wikipedia.)
It is well ahead of certain countries in Europe, thanks to Gaddafi.
On 26 February 2011, at the UK’s Independent, Peter Popham had an article entitled “Tribalism is key to the Libya’s future”. (Thanks to Blackwatch for the link)
Popham makes the following points:
1. Gaddafi came to power as a force for modernisation.
2. He “turned the desert green … and raised the literacy rate from 17% to 80%.
3. He called for an end to tribalism.
Tribalisms influence has weakened, “as more modern ties of schooling and urban neighbourhoods gained in importance.”
According to former British ambassador Sir Richard Dalton: “Tribal origins have no existence in Libyan institutions or in public affairs.”

BUT, Gaddafi opposed the New World Order, and so his country has to be wrecked.
On 27th February 2011 we read that the UK’s notorious SAS are in Libya.
“The Special Forces soldiers landed in two C130 Hercules military transport aircraft on a landing strip … south of the eastern port of Benghazi…
“A senior source confirmed that an advance party of SAS men had been in Libya for several days…
“The SAS party had sneaked into Libya in plain clothes on commercial flights…
The UK’s HMS Cumberland “is due to return to Benghazi”.
Another Royal Navy ship, the destroyer HMS York, “has also been deployed on standby”.

Tunisians by patduncan10
On 26 February 2011, three people were killed in clashes in Tunisia’s capital: (ministry)
Now that Tunisia has been wrecked, thousands are fleeing. (Chaos, militant Islam and thousands fleeing Tunisia.)
According to the Mail on Sunday:
On 20 February 2011 demonstrations continued in Tunisia.
“I see one father with his son, aged five.
“As the police fire warning bullets into the blue sky, I ask him if he is afraid for his child.
“He unzips the boy’s jacket to expose his chest.
“‘My son is ready to take a bullet to the heart for freedom,’ he says.
“The child’s face crumples…”

“I meet 36-year-old Muhammed.
“He also dreams of getting rich, but not in Tunisia.
“He is unemployed and does not care about the revolution…
“‘A few days ago, I heard from a friend of a boat going from Zarzis to Italy.
“I paid $1,800…
“What about the revolution? I ask him.
“‘I don’t care about revolution. My dream is Italy,’ he says”
The Italian government says 300,000 may try to reach Europe…
Tunisia … was renowned for being the most liberal of Muslim countries.
“There are troubling signs … A Polish priest had his throat slit in a suburb of Tunis…
“The Vatican news agency said he was beheaded.”
Afghanistan
The Pentagon plan may be to make North Africa just like Afghanistan.
“The gangsters, both foreign and Afghan, are the ones now in control of Afghanistan,” says General Ali Shah Paktiawol, the former head of Kabul’s Criminal Investigation Department. (How to make a killing in Kabul.)

Israel only took an area the size of new jersey amongst Arab giants, and not even an area with lots of oil.
It has attacked its neighbors, but always in retaliation against suicide bombings in civilian areas and artillery attacks from neighboring countries.
Israel also gave warnings so civilians can be evacuated. Something Arab attackers do not do.
I wish the best of luck to the Arab people who after much suffering have finally risen up against their oppressive rulers. Please remember that Arab people have suffered under west friendly rulers as well as west hating rulers, greed is the enemy and it is universal.
Please do not hate the people of enemy nations. They are like you, simply wishing to live and feed their families. It is the leadership that divides us with hate and decides to go to war. Here in america, the educated see the wrong direction our country is heading in, but the masses are stupid and not yet hungry. The Arab people have gone through much without a revolt, I do not see a revolution happening here anytime soon.
Would you be willing – if authorised- to give New Jersy to the Zionists for a new homeland and a Jewish state within the US .. and if they started to grab the rest of New York, would you still be at ease about it?
Im no head of state but if they bought the land or paid their rent I don’t see why I would care, different situations tho. Besides any land Israel grabbed was a counter attack to a civilian bombing, and usually quickly and repeatedly returned.
also if I were to move into a neighborhood, and a neighbor attacked my family, I absolutely would, and be justified in retaliating….but after a while the cycle needs to be broken or the war will continue until our grand children don’t even remember why they are killing each other, as history as often shown.
My dear D, there are things that money can’t buy. No one can get around this, not even heads of states.
Israel never expanded. It captured areas in retaliation, but quickly returned them in exchange for a cease-fire that was quickly broken a few days later.
Had Israel not returned the land it would have been triple its size by now (not an actual number just a guesstimate

There is much money cannot buy, but there things it can, including land. The first Israeli settlers bought the land and noone forced anyone to accept the money. Also most of Israel’s aggression was in retaliation to attacks on it’s people.
As for Israel’s political allies. Appears to me Israel pretty much took an alliance with anyone willing to not attack them, considering it’s situation that’s an understandable move, and as for its alliance with brutal Arab dictator’s, can anyone show me a good Arab dictator (or any other part of the world). Why Europe and America butted in I cannot explain without greed or evil.

Your view of history is that of a self-serving Zionist shill. You consistently disregard the fact that ashkenazi jews with no historical claims to palestinian lands brutalized an indigenous people. For that matter, you fail to mention that the jews of the Torah held no claim to Palestine either but were instead “given” that land by theri god after they slaughered an ancient people(Joshua and teh walls of jericho). Were this not enough, you alos neglect to mention the terrorism visited on British & american interests (king David Hotel, USS liberty to name only a few) and the ongoing aparteid and torture inflicted upon the palestinians. Go back to the history books.
I doubt a 2000 year old claim would be valid, true or not…but the Jews consider the land to be holy, and I would think Muslims would understand fighting for something one believes holy. Israel has commuted crimes against the Palestinian people, but the deeds it committed in time of war, to defend its people, are often done by almost every nation in times of peace and for no reason besides profit.
Most of its attackers are not part of an official army, and do hide amongst civilians. After many attacks would you still remain silent. Neither attack was without reason but that’s what I meant about breaking the cycle. I have been taught a one sided story but I’m trying to understand both sides and hopefully perhaps step beyond it.
I understand it more when they bombed official buildings, military posts, even a financial institution, it is after all a war, but not a cafe or a bus. Besides revenge, how does that help anyone’s cause? But it does generate a lot of anger.
Dr Ezzat
If you are truely tuned into the egyption “uprising”, you’d see that this was a CIA-Mossad operation punishing Mubarek for his failure to support an attack on Iran. Your cry for a unified arab people is precisely what hillary clinton , et al. sought in order to create their “nuclear umbrella” in order to “protect” the arab peoples (Egypt, Saudi Arbia, etc) and poor little Israel from “evil” Iran. Instead, as everyone understands, this would have been used to launch an attack on that nation. Your petition for pan-arabism is just a ploy to pit sunnis against shiites. If not, take a look at the facts and reconsider.
There is no way to prove or disprove a conspiracy but why is it so hard to believe oppressed people cannot fight for their own rights?
Unless you have access to proof that I do not, there is no reason to complicate the issue.
BTW, do you feel all of the rebellions were orchestrated or just the Egyptian?
Why would mossad and the cia want to topple a dictator that’s friendly to both of them?
This was posted above already but it should give you some ideas, especially the last third.
