A new phase of struggle is opening in Iran. It is to the women, to the workers and the youth - to all the demonstrators who defy the Islamic Republic while not hesitating to risk their lives - that all our support is given. Spontaneous strikes have erupted in several companies, in Teheran in particular and strike calls are multiplying. The decisive question of the general strike is put, not by Moussavi, who is trying to ride the wave of the dispute, but by the Iranian workers themselves. The arrival of the working class in this movement can give cohesion and the force necessary to overthrow the Islamic Republic and to establish a new democratic and social republic that stands against imperialist and Zionist attacks. The fight for true democratic rights, the right to strike, the right to hold free elections, to constitute free trade unions and political parties as well as the fight for social justice and the equality between women and men must be based on international solidarity. Their fight is ours!

الشاعر اسلام سمحان والشلل السياسي للاسلاميين
في المقهى
شايٌ أسود
وحشرات تمر بأمان الله
في البار
نساء من طيف زجاجيّ
يمسحن حلقَ الذكرياتْ
2
في الغابةِ
خبأتُ الولدَ الهاربْ
في الغابةِ
كهفُ خيوطٍ وعناكبْ
3
في الجنةِ
زجاج قديم
مغبرّ
مثل جسدي
4
لا شي يضاهي
فرحة الكحول في دمي
5
مسّني
فخذ
نهاري
في عز الليل
6
نسمة ما
تمر على
الجسد الناعم
نسمة ما
تستفزني
7
كانت أقرب الى يدي
كيف تظل بعيدة تلك
السماوات؟؟؟
كيف تقو البعد؟
8
لو أني سمعت زفيرها
ما انتظرت حتى تحترق الأغصان
9
كل الأسى
في عين واحدة
كل الأسى في عيني
10
عندما تنضجين
تذكرِ يا شتلة
جروحا في الكف / الذاكرة
11
الليل خلّ مُرَكـَّـز
لمن لا يملك شراء المزَّة والسجائر
12
غلطة
قذفتك الأعضاء
في جب امرأة.
13
رأسي وعاء
وتلك الرشرشة
كحول

A review for Prof. Massad book: Desiring Arabs
للاسف ما صحلّي اقرأ كتاب البروفيسور جوزيف مسعد لكن وقع بين يدي هذه المراجعة له والتي اتمنى ان تلقي مزيدتا من الضوء على الكتاب وعلى واقع المثليين جنسيا في بلادنا والتضامن معهم:
No one can know for sure if, when, how or in what forms Arab LGBT communities and movements will develop.(19) In particular, no one knows for sure what proportion of Arabs who have sex with people of the same sex identity as lesbian, gay, transgender or bisexual. But this is no argument against solidarity with them. Nor is it an argument for privileging those who have LGBT identities, as international movements tend to do - or those who have no such identities, as Massad does.
In the age of neoliberal globalization, power relations between colonizers - witting or unwitting - and colonized cut across LGBT movements, anti-imperialist movements and for that matter the Marxist left. The fact remains that all the victims of oppression today badly need allies in the imperialist countries, who have access to far greater resources.
Cultural sensitivity and respect for self-determination are essential. But neither should stand in the way of solidarity with the victims of repression by regimes whose vicious sexual puritanism often goes hand in hand with their subservience to an imperial agenda.
