Jonathan Pollard should remain in prison for life

Posted on July 25, 2015September 24, 2018 By rayhanania 3 Comments on Jonathan Pollard should remain in prison for life

Jonathan Pollard is more than just a spy who stole secrets from the United States that exposed America’s spy network to benefit a foreign country, Israel. He represents the Israelis mindset that America is little more than a pawn that can be exploited to benefit their selfish interests. Pollard betrayed America, but he is an…

Should we put Israel in charge of the Kaaba?

Posted on July 24, 2015October 2, 2015 By rayhanania 1 Comment on Should we put Israel in charge of the Kaaba?
Should we put Israel in charge of the Kaaba?

Every day, Israeli settlers openly disrespect Islam and Muslims by entering the al-Aqsa Mosque Compound and the Haram al Ash-Sharif near the Dome of the Rock to rally and protest and chant that they will one day destroy these Holy Sites and replace them with their own. And Muslims around the world do nothing about it. Would…

Can there be Middle East peace?

Posted on July 21, 2015September 24, 2018 By rayhanania No Comments on Can there be Middle East peace?

While the dynamics of the Middle East conflict continue to change, one question continues to surface: Can there be peace in the Middle East? The answer is yes. But peace requires that the world recognize that the true obstacle to peace is rising extremism in Israel, and the need for Israelis to finally recognize the right of Christians and…

Posted on July 20, 2015July 20, 2015 By rayhanania 1 Comment on Inodoctri-Nation: Israel’s Birthright propaganda tourism

Israel’s lobby and other programs organize trips to take Jews only to Israel hoping to “educate” them on the country, such as Birthright, while closing doors to the reality of the Israeli government’s and military’s brutal oppression against Palestinians, including the discrimination against Palestinian “citizens” of the State By Dezeray Lyn It was 5:30am when…

UAE helps soccer but what about Arab image?

The Arab image and image of the Muslim world is a shambles in America, bludgeoned and “slibeled” nearly every day by paid anti-Arab activists and by the mainstream American News Media. The media is in a pro-Israel headlock that prohibits and discourages full and accurate information about the Arab that might expose Israel’s governments atrocities through critical…

Deal with Iran strengthens fight against injustice

Posted on July 15, 2015July 15, 2015 By rayhanania No Comments on Deal with Iran strengthens fight against injustice

American led deal with Iran will bring security and justice to the Middle East region. And that’s why Israel’s government is so against it. Israel’s government doesn’t want security. It wants tension. Tension and the threat of conflict justifies their fear-mongering and strengthens their ability to bully Americans to support their needs, and turn a blind eye towards Israel…

Paris company releases new Yom Kippur war game app

The 1973 Arab-Israeli war briefly changed the dynamics of Israel’s hegemony over the Arab World, and pushed Israel to address its intransigence and refusal to recognize Arab rights. But it didn’t take long for Israel to compromise Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat with false promises of negotiating a comprehensive peace that would include a Palestine State….

Egypt slides from Democracy into oppression

Posted on July 14, 2015July 14, 2015 By rayhanania 6 Comments on Egypt slides from Democracy into oppression

Since the Arab Spring crashed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square in 2011, Egypt has been on a roller coaster. Once the cornerstone of secularism in a world of growing religious extremism, Egypt could use some excesses to protect itself from the Islamic extremists. But in recent years, Egypt has not been discretionary in how it deals…

Omar Sharif and pro-Israel Hollywood

Omar Sharif and pro-Israel Hollywood

Omar Sharif was one of the first Arab actors to appear in the biased anti-Arab arena of Hollywood. His talent took him past the bigotry that has denied Arabs roles in major motion pictures, excluded pro-Arab themes and narratives from Hollywood movies, and marginalized Arabs to the sidelines of a biased movie industry. But his legacy…
