Sursock: Change we can believe in?
http://sursock.blogspot.com/2009/06/change-we-can-believe-in.html
Friday, 5 June 2009. Change we can believe in? It is easy to dismiss Obama's speech, and rightly. Noam Chomsky. Points to the substantive trap the US president finds himself in:. A CNN headline, reporting Obama's plans for his June 4 Cairo address, reads 'Obama looks to reach the soul of the Muslim world.' Perhaps that captures his intent, but more significant is the content hidden in the rhetorical stance, or more accurately, omitted. But there is an edge, especially his criticism of Israel. Haaretz.

Sursock: Israeli-Egyptian axis
http://sursock.blogspot.com/2009/07/israeli-egypt-axis.html
Wednesday, 15 July 2009. Israeli and Egyptian officials say two Israeli warships have sailed through the Suez Canal toward the Red Sea in a move seen as a possible signal to Iran that the Persian Gulf nation is within Israel’s reach. Israel says its navy uses the canal regularly. But the recent moves are significant given Israel’s refusal to rule out military action if Iran persists with a nuclear program Israel believes is aimed at building weapons.
