Talking about Mapping the Conflict

Tracking Page: Middle Eastern Bloggers on the Crisis

This active map monitors the unfolding crisis in the Middle East. The page monitors Israeli and Lebanese blogs (no blog from the lebanese side for now, but there is someone from Jordan-he calls for the deportation of all Israelies!) and aggregates their latest & most linked posts continually throughout the day, and additionally shows the most popular posts on the conflict from non-local bloggers.

I'll be adding here few interesting Lebanese bloggers:

 

http://cedarsawakening.blogspot.com/  Who is saying:

"For too long, minorities in the Middle East have been persecuted. The rise of Islamism is threatening to bring oriental Christians back to the dark ages. This blog calls for a political system that will offer long-term guarantees to all the Lebanese: a federation or an institutionalized consensual democracy."

Brought Up To Hate

Here's a link to an article, "Brought up to Hate", by Noni Darwish, an Arab Muslim whose father is an honored martyr in Egypt, Gaza and the West Bank. Nasser had him set up the Palestinian Fedayeen during the 50's in Gaza. He was responsible for the deaths of 400 Israelis. As a Muslim and an Arab who lived 30 years in Gaza and Egypt, she has an important perspective about her own religion and the poisonous culture of hatred throughout the region.   Brought Up To Hate

By Nonie Darwish
Telegraph.co.uk | February 17, 2006

The controversy regarding the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed completely misses the point. Of course, the cartoons are offensive to Muslims, but newspaper cartoons do not warrant the burning of buildings and the killing of innocent people. The cartoons did not cause the disease of hate that we are seeing in the Muslim world on our television screens at night - they are only a symptom of a far greater disease.

I was born and raised as a Muslim in Cairo, Egypt and in the Gaza Strip. In the 1950s, my father was sent by Egypt's President, Gamal Abdel Nasser, to head the Egyptian military intelligence in Gaza and the Sinai where he founded the Palestinian Fedayeen, or "armed resistance". They made cross-border attacks into Israel, killing 400 Israelis and wounding more than 900 others.

My father was killed as a result of the Fedayeen operations when I was eight years old. He was hailed by Nasser as a national hero and was considered a shaheed, or martyr. In his speech announcing the nationalisation of the Suez Canal, Nasser vowed that all of Egypt would take revenge for my father's death. My siblings and I were asked by Nasser: "Which one of you will avenge your father's death by killing Jews?" We looked at each other speechless, unable to answer.

In school in Gaza, I learned hate, vengeance and retaliation. Peace was never an option, as it was considered a sign of defeat and weakness. At school we sang songs with verses calling Jews "dogs" (in Arab culture, dogs are considered unclean).

Criticism and questioning were forbidden. When I did either of these, I was told: "Muslims cannot love the enemies of God, and those who do will get no mercy in hell." As a young woman, I visited a Christian friend in Cairo during Friday prayers, and we both heard the verbal attacks on Christians and Jews from the loudspeakers outside the mosque. They said: "May God destroy the infidels and the Jews, the enemies of God. We are not to befriend them or make treaties with them." We heard worshippers respond "Amen".

My friend looked scared; I was ashamed. That was when I first realised that something was very wrong in the way my religion was taught and practised. Sadly, the way I was raised was not unique. Hundreds of millions of other Muslims also have been raised with the same hatred of the West and Israel as a way to distract from the failings of their leaders. Things have not changed since I was a little girl in the 1950s.

Palestinian television extols terrorists, and textbooks still deny the existence of Israel. More than 300 Palestinians schools are named after shaheeds, including my father. Roads in both Egypt and Gaza still bear his name - as they do of other "martyrs". What sort of message does that send about the role of terrorists? That they are heroes. Leaders who signed peace treaties, such as President Anwar Sadat, have been assassinated. Today, the Islamo-fascist president of Iran uses nuclear dreams, Holocaust denials and threats to "wipe Israel off the map" as a way to maintain control of his divided country.

Indeed, with Denmark set to assume the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council, the flames of the cartoon controversy have been fanned by Iran and Syria. This is critical since the International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to refer Iran to the Security Council and demand sanctions. At the same time, Syria is under scrutiny for its actions in Lebanon. Both Iran and Syria cynically want to embarrass the Danes to achieve their dangerous goals.

But the rallies and riots come from a public ripe with rage. From my childhood in Gaza until today, blaming Israel and the West has been an industry in the Muslim world. Whenever peace seemed attainable, Palestinian leaders found groups who would do everything to sabotage it. They allowed their people to be used as the front line of Arab jihad. Dictators in countries surrounding the Palestinians were only too happy to exploit the Palestinians as a diversion from problems in their own backyards. The only voice outside of government control in these areas has been the mosques, and these places of worship have been filled with talk of jihad.

Is it any surprise that after decades of indoctrination in a culture of hate, that people actually do hate? Arab society has created a system of relying on fear of a common enemy. It's a system that has brought them much-needed unity, cohesion and compliance in a region ravaged by tribal feuds, instability, violence, and selfish corruption. So Arab leaders blame Jews and Christians rather than provide good schools, roads, hospitals, housing, jobs, or hope to their people.

For 30 years I lived inside this war zone of oppressive dictatorships and police states. Citizens competed to appease and glorify their dictators, but they looked the other way when Muslims tortured and terrorised other Muslims. I witnessed honour killings of girls, oppression of women, female genital mutilation, polygamy and its devastating effect on family relations. All of this is destroying the Muslim faith from within.

It's time for Arabs and Muslims to stand up for their families. We must stop allowing our leaders to use the West and Israel as an excuse to distract from their own failed leadership and their citizens' lack of freedoms. It's time to stop allowing Arab leaders to complain about cartoons while turning a blind eye to people who defame Islam by holding Korans in one hand while murdering innocent people with the other.

Muslims need jobs - not jihad. Apologies about cartoons will not solve the problems. What is needed is hope and not hate. Unless we recognise that the culture of hate is the true root of the riots surrounding this cartoon controversy, this violent overreaction will only be the start of a clash of civilis-ations that the world cannot bear.

History Lesson

Every American generation needs a group to demonize and fear.  Since 2001 the usual suspects have been Muslims and Arabs (oh, except for Saudi Arabians who are always welcome at GWB's White House).  During my childhood it was the Soviets and in young adulthood it was American blacks, any American (no matter what color) under the age of 30, and anybody who spoke out against the Vietnam war.  Blacks were especially feared and targeted by the FBI.  In San Francisco, black militants openly carried guns and scared the shit out of the average white guy and the entire federal government.  Not only was Malcom X wiretapped and followed, so was Martin Luther King and as more and more middle-class, over 30 white-bread Americans joined the anti-war movement, the more the Nixon administration tried to divert attention to "militants" especially black ones. 

 

In the midst of this, and with EVERYTHING to lose, voices were raised.  Black voices, young white voices, middle class voices, women, students, working class parents who had lost sons and daughters in Vietnam.  One of them was Marvin Gaye.  He represents a "golden age" in popular culture and he still is one of my few musical heroes.  I will bet three months pay that he was wiretapped, too.

 

Listen to the bravery of his lyrics, sung during a time when the wrong words could get you drafted or imprisoned, and say they aren't as valid now as they were in 1971.

 

The difference between then and now?  People including Marvin Gaye said what they thought openly, despite the consequences. 

 

The difference between Nixon and Bush?  Nixon had the ability to feel shame and the intelligence to step down when he realized he royally screwed up. 

 

and I Linda Ponder........ 

In the mist of this and everything to looseVOICES WERE RAISED............this line really gets to me......thankyou CAS

 

and along comes Adam with a comment that is so true.......

"I tell ya, if you put a bunch of kids and various colors together in a room they all play together, which means kids are taught to hate and/or descriminate.  Why?  It's all bullshit ~smiles~.

My friend told me a cliche a while back, "Persons are smart, people are stupid"  ~chuckles~.  The mob rules."

 

Love,

Adam

 Looks to me like we are passing around talking about comments and I am adding to the circle , because what goes round comes round......what does that mean?

We can go round and round in circles, but until we unite as ONE

we will only faulter and cry out.  We must SHOUT LOUD AS ONE.

LETS GET TOGATHER YA YA YA

I think someone must have snuck in here and spiked my gin.  I swear, while working off line that the President Of The United States Of America was on  the television tonight.  I hope this was not real.  He appeared to be very strange on camera, kinda sneaky, or perhaps very confused and insecure.  Perhaps the pressure from his own party is getting to him.  Hmm.  Maybe his conscience is catching up with him.  (doubt that).  So anyway, I thought I heard him say that he was sending National Guard Troops to man the border of the United States and Mexico.   How nuts is that?   What is the matter with this man.  Mental illness?  This is not the dream, this is not what the Founding Fathers intended nor the American People.  Time to Rise and Shine.  Enough of the bullshit, and bring The United States Of America home to the people and the World as the fullfulment of the Dream.   Inalienable Rights.  Remember the price paid and the sacrifice of our Forefathers.
