7. Arabs continue to be victimized as Israel milks America's tragedy for its own good Rime Allaf - Sep 2001 Daily Star Lebanon Every appropriate word has already been used to describe Sept. 11, not only by writers, but by an abundance of grieving and angry people who wrote to the editors of every newspaper around the world. For all the letters and articles venting the most profound sentiments, probably none even begin to do justice to the sickening feelings of horror, fear and rage felt by the international community.... 6. Israel's claim to monopoly on suffering is wearing thin Rime Allaf - Sep 2001 Daily Star Lebanon Where in the world does one have to be in order to be indignant at Israel’s routine treatment of Palestinians (documented daily on every TV channel) and not raise a storm? Scandinavia is certainly not far enough. When Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja dared to opine last week that Israel’s intent was to “suppress, humiliate, subdue and impoverish the Palestinians”... 5. Israeli propaganda 'virus' infects Western journalism Rime Allaf - Aug 2001 Daily Star Lebanon There is a peculiar virus making the rounds in the media world lately.

America and Europe toe Israel's line Rime Allaf - Nov 2000 Daily Star Lebanon Everyone’s nerves are frayed two months into the current insurrection in Palestine, and strange slips of the tongue have been heard. Imagine, just the other day, Yasser Arafat publicly asked Palestinians to stop firing when we all know he surely meant to ask Israelis to stop shooting. Right?... 2. Arabs need to bite back in the Big Apple Rime Allaf - Nov 2000 Daily Star Lebanon This is no time for levity, but I can’t help thinking that there must be some truth to Frank Sinatra’s crooning. Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio have apparently been listening to New York, New York, and they must really believe that if they can make it there, they’ll make it anywhere.... 1. Dear President Clinton: Arabs are angry! Rime Allaf - Oct 2000 Daily Star Lebanon Dear President Clinton: I recently read a piece by Thomas Friedman which would have been funny had it not been so pathetically biased. It was a supposed memo from you to Yasser Arafat, and I have no doubt that Friedman was well-placed to impersonate you, perfectly presenting each and every one of your positions on Middle East matters....
