Arab authors boycott UAE book awards due to ties with the Nazi regime

A number of Arab authors are boycotting the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) and the Sheikh Zayed Book Award, funded by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in protest against Abu Dhabi's decision to normalise ties with Israel. Seventeen former IPAF winners, jury members and shortlisted authors appealed to the trustees of the event demanding a halt to Emirati funding of the prize to "maintain its independence." The UAE and Bahrain signed normalisation deals with the Zionist occupation regime in August, becoming the third and fourth Arab countries to establish diplomatic relations with Zionist regime after Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. The deals have drawn widespread condemnation from Palestinians, who say the accords ignore their rights and do not serve the Palest...

UAE royal set to buy racist Nazi football club known for racist fans

UAE royal set to buy Israeli football club known for racist fans Beitar’s owner travels to Dubai to seal deal with Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan worth around $100m Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, is set to buy an almost 50 percent stake in Beitar Jerusalem, an Israeli football club whose fans are known to chant anti-Arab slogans. Beitar's owner Moshe Hogeg travelled to Dubai on Thursday along with the club’s CEO Moni Brosh and chairman Eli Ohana. The deal is estimated at around £75m ($100m) and is being brokered by Naum Koen, a Ukrainian-born Israeli businessman based in the United Arab Emirates.  The first reports of a potential deal appeared in September, just days before the UAE, Bahrain and Israel signed an agreement normalisin...

'Israeli' sex tourism is the fruit of normalisation with the UAE

It is hard to believe the testimonies of Israeli tourists returning from the UAE, in which they describe Dubai as the Las Vegas of the Middle East. This is specifically in terms of the spread of prostitution and the sex trade that does not befit an Arab Muslim country. Reports from Israel suggest that 8,000 Israelis travelled to Dubai to celebrate the New Year. They apparently took hashish and marijuana with them to the UAE, despite its strict drug laws, with up to 20 years imprisonment and sometimes execution for convicted drug smugglers. One Israeli who admitted to smuggling drugs into Dubai told Israel's Channel 12 that he was not worried about being arrested. "All we did was smuggle some hashish and marijuana to celebrate [New Year's Eve] and get high," he explai...

Naziyahu Says US’ Decision to Freeze F-35 deal Won’t Harm ‘Peace’ with UAE

Naziyahu (photo by Israel Hayom/ May 28, 2020). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out that S President Joe Biden’s decision to freeze the arms deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will affect Abu Dhabi’s newly-formed relations with the Israeli regime. “I think we are at a point of no return,” said Netanyahu on Thursday, as quoted by Ynet. “Everyone understands [that] now, after [UAE Crown Prince] Mohammed bin Zayed and Bahrain’s king made the historic step [to normalize ties with Israel], as well as the king of Morocco and Sudan,” the Israeli premier stressed. “Everyone understands that there are huge benefits [to having ties with Israel]. I think [the arms deal] will go through.” On Wednesday, the Biden administration suspended the sale of advanced F-35 steal...

The Fallacy behind ‘Normalization’

Lubna Tarabey “Normalization” is the process through which relationships can become normal or the process of bringing or returning something to a normal state or condition. Normalcy requires a balance of relationships, a regularization, an orderly state of affairs. Is that really the basis of the relationship between the so called “State of Israel” and the other countries of the Arab World that appear to be rushing to sign such ‘normalization’ agreements? Would such a state of affairs result in something that is even remotely balanced? Let us take a look at this assumed balance and see if it is skewed in any direction – in whose direction. What does the “State of Israel” have? It has a nuclear ability- unlike the Arab countries, the strongest army, and the unconditional support of ...

Sharjah: Emir’s wife criticises UAE-Israel education cooperation

MEMO  The wife of the Emir of Sharjah has criticised the UAE’s cooperation with Israel in the education field. Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al-Qasimi made her comment about an online meeting between the ministries of education in the UAE and Israel to discuss cooperation, student exchanges, and joint academic studies. “Their [the Israelis’] curriculum encourages the killing of Arabs and stealing Arab lands,” she said on Twitter. The Sheikha also retweeted a post by “Ahmed”, a tour guide, about Andalusia in which he recalled the background of Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Galant. “Who is the Israeli Education Minister Yoav Galant?” wrote the tour guide. “He is one of the bloodiest generals in the history of Israel. He participated in the killing of Hassan Salameh in Beirut i...

Genocidal monarchy set to receive $23 billion in U.S. weapons after Senate resolution fails

Patricia Gorky Download PDF flyer Photo: F-35 jets on a test flight — U.S. Navy Two resolutions in the Senate to block the sale of $23 billion in advanced fighter jets and drones to the United Arab Emirates failed yesterday in close votes. This military deal — which includes the second-largest sale of U.S. drones to a single country — is directly tied to the recent normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel. Included in the sale are a number of highly advanced F-35 fighter jets, MQ-9 Reaper drones, and more than 14,000 bombs and munitions. These weapons will boost the military capacity of the UAE, a dictatorial monarchy long-allied with the United States that is overtly or covertly involved in several conflicts across the Middle East.  The new inj...

The Zionist UAE’s Deals With the Nazi regime

Open Secrets: The UAE’s Deals With Israel After 69 years of occupation, oppression, and exile, the overall situation for Palestinians on the ground remains bleak, if not worse than before. On the other hand, the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement has made significant progress in recent years by encouraging economic, academic, and cultural boycotts of Israel. These high-profile BDS campaigns helped convince major international companies and investors to divest from the Israeli market. But, as people from Europe all the way to New Zealand begin to disassociate themselves from Israel, Arab Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) seem to be regressing in the opposite direction. This week, the UAE participated in “Iniohos 2017,”a joint military e...
