Middle East: The Kurdish New Nazi Entity

The Kurdish project in Syria would be a new Israel in the Middle East By Eva Bartlett | RT | December 2, 2021 Syrians accuse the Western-backed Kurdish enclave in the country of using ethnic cleansing and child soldiers against them to form a new anti-Arab state. The parallels with Israel’s creation in the 1940s are striking. Kurdish forces in Syria have been lauded by many in the West as being fighters for freedom and an autonomous society. But, unless you’ve been following independent researchers and the Syrian media, you might be unaware of the crimes the US-backed group have been committing over a number of years. On November 25, the Daily Sabah (a website not sympathetic to the Syrian government) reported on one of their most sickening practic...

The Language of War and U.S. Policy in the Middle East

Caskets for the dead are carried to the gravesite as relatives and friends attend a mass funeral for members of a family that was killed in a U.S. drone airstrike, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 30, 2021. (MARCUS YAM/LOS ANGELES TIMES) Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 2021, pp. 28-30 Special Report By Dr. M. Reza Behnam Political language…is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. —George Orwell, 1946 SINCE 2001, U.S. administrations have used “terrorism” as an instrument to conduct a more openly aggressive foreign policy in the Middle East. Predictably, there has been no real examination of how the term has been used and of existing conditions that hav...

10 Years Since the Arab Spring

Visit and follow us on Instagram at @crg_globalresearch. *** A decade ago, we were in the throes of what observers in the West termed the “Arab Spring.” An assessment is now in order. Because Western analysts assumed that these uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen were organically linked, mirroring the revolutions that brought down the Communist regimes operating under the protective cover of the Soviet Union, they termed them the “Arab Spring”. These Arab uprisings, however, were not threads of one unraveling region. While sharing some commo...

Iran’s Politics in the Turbulent Middle East

“Trusting the West doesn’t work.” - Iranian leaders By Jim W. Dean, by Viktor Mikhin, and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a research institution for the study of the countries and cultures of Asia and North Africa [ Editor’s Note: Viktor presents us with a current cleared eye overview of the ‘drifting’ situation in the Mideast, where a flurry of diplomatic activity is going on while malevolent actors nibble away at any real feasible resolution of tensions. Going back to square one, Israel most of all cannot survive peace, as then there is no longer any reason for huge military subsidies from the US, where all the Israeli grifters living off that largess would have to look for real jobs. As for keeping control o...

Fate Like a Sandstorm: Jordan and the Middle East

BY PETER BACH Photograph Source: DVIDSHUB – CC BY 2.0 Japanese writer Haruki Murakami said fate is like a small sandstorm: ‘You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts.’ As fate would have it, these past 12 months have seen so much chasing and adjusting for Jordan and the mother of all political sandstorms has run amok. Not only an alleged coup but aggressive scrutiny over the Pandora Papers. They say particles of sand vibrate in a sandstorm. Jordan has been royally convulsing. Every week King Abdullah of Jordan is under attack in the media from some quarter or another. Last week it was Quin Hillyer in the Washington Examiner, showing particular disdain for Jordan’s imprisonment of US citizen Bassem Awadallah, at the same t...
