وتنالُ مِنْكَ بِحَدّ مُقْلَتِها
ما لا يَنالُ بِحَدِّهِ النَّصْلُ
شَغَلَتْكَ وهْيَ لِكُلِّ ذي بَصَرٍ
لاقى مَحاسِنَ وَجْهِها شُغْلُ
فَلِقَلْبِها حِلْمٌ يُباعِدُها
عن ذي الهَوى وَلِطَرْفِها جَهْلُ
وإذا نَظَرْتَ إلى مَحاسِنها
فَلِكُلِّ مَوْضِعِ نَظْرَةٍ قَتْلُ
ولِوَجْهها مِنْ وَجْهِها قَمَرٌ
ولِعَيْنِها مِنْ عَيْنِها كُحْلُ

the magnitude of what is going on in Iraq and Syria with ISIS has finally enabled at least some observers to understand that the problems of the region are not down to the existence of Israel. That was a lie peddled by the Arab dictators as they sought to deflect attention from their own brutality, and it was bought by many people across the area and the dictators’ useful idiots in the West.

حجم الأحداث التي جرت في العراق وسوريا مع داعش، بيّن على الأقل للبعض أن مشاكل الشرق الأوسط لا يمكن إختزالها بـ "إسرائيل". هذه كانت كذبة إستخدمها الطغاة العرب ليبعدوا الأنظار عن القسوة والظلم الذي يرتكبونه، وقد صدّق هذه الخدعة العديد من الأشخاص في المنطقة، بالإضافة إلى الحمقى الغربيين الذين إستفاد منهم الطغاة.

Sykes-Picot is breaking; putting it back together, even in a different shape, will be a long and bloody affair.

If Kurdistan does become an internationally recognised state then the shape of Iraq will change. That assumes there will be an Iraq. There may not be.

Lebanon appears to be a unified state only from the perspective of seeing it on a map. It takes just a few minutes after arriving at Beirut Airport to discover it is far from that.
