American Secretary of State John Kerry gleefully tweeted about the re-launching of the negotiations along the path leading towards a Palestinian state and permanent peace. This is a sudden peace awakening at a time when Barack Obama's administration stands idle before the massacres in the Arab world, distancing itself from wars and abandoning the civilians between the jaws of tyranny and terrorist organizations. Wherever the Arab spring landed, the "deep state" emerged. And just like terrorism suited the timing of tyrants in republics afflicted by their generals, Al-Qaeda suddenly woke up, its operations were resumed, and its booby-trapped cars began to roam the states of the spring to complete the missions of the counterrevolution. Indeed, is the fueling of sectarian divide with massacres based on identity not an assault against the democracies project, which is still struggling with movements that stealthily rode the wave of the popular uprisings? Are the slaughtering of military elements in Sinai and on the Tunisian-Algerian border, the assassination of oppositionists in Tunisia, and the liquidation of officers in Libya and Yemen not episodes of the same series as the detonation of Sunni and Shiite mosques in Iraq? It is as though the spring summoned back terrorism and strengthened Al-Qaeda and its sisters, at a time when the Darfur tribes are bragging about the number of people they have killed and the tribes of terrorism in Syria are not hesitating to carry out mass liquidations against imprisoned soldiers, in a way that is no less horrific than the extermination of entire terrified families by the regime's air force in Al-Khalidiya after Al-Qusair. The attacks carried out using booby-trapped cars against the Sunnis and the Shiites in Iraq prompt questions on whether or not some of us still doubt the delusional character of the Americans' victory claims over Al-Qaeda with the death of Osama Bin Laden. But the more important question revolves around the fact that what is wanted for the Arab spring states, in terms of their fall in the trap of civil conflicts and wars being set up by the monopolization tendency of movements exploiting religion, is being complemented by Al-Qaeda in Iraq and An-Nusra Front and the neo-Jihadists in Syria. Hence, the language of murder, whether with the bullets of tyranny or the spears of terrorism, is one and the same, and the assassination of oppositionist Mohamed Brahmi after Chokri Belaid in Tunisia is a warning to Ennahda Party that it should stop killing the hopes of the revolutionary youth. On the other hand, the talk about the slaughtering of soldiers on the border with Algeria, places Tunisia and Libya – after Egypt – in a major confrontation with Al-Qaeda and its allies, and even jeopardizes the fate and unity of the three states in order to slay the revolutions or divide the region by using the spring uprisings to fuel civil wars. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is relying on the foreign game to justify the protests in his country and what is being witnessed in Syria, Iraq and Egypt, considering that the domestic reasons are not good enough. By doing so, Erdogan is repeating the claims which he had refuted and which were made by President Bashar al-Assad regarding the cosmic war on Syrian soil, although he cannot justify the killing of 100,000 Syrians under the pretext of deterring the "conspiracy" or the use of explosive barrels against residential neighborhoods to oust the fighters of the Free Army from them. And assuming that Al-Qaeda is conspiring against the post-spring regimes, should this awakening not push the new rulers to contemplate the situation, seeing how they cannot cover up their monopolization of power and exclusion of the oppositionists with the elections' sword then seek the roots of the sudden violence? The Muslim Brotherhood experience was bitter for the group and for all Egyptians. However, there is nothing pointing to the fact that the other partners in the spring have drawn the lessons. In reality, the ruler in the obsolete tyrannical presidential palace believes that all the violence and coffins seen today are only temporary, at a time when the killings and monstrosities are becoming a daily event with which the spring and winter of the massacres can only proceed between the killers and the victims, both of whom are Muslims in most cases. With its awakening in Iraq and North Africa, Al-Qaeda is signaling further bloodshed and the termination of lives, none of which is American or Israeli. As for the new and programmed campaign of the organization in response to the "mistreatment of the Sunnis in Iraq," it features Shiite and Sunni victims that have fallen during the heroic acts of Al-Qaeda in Ramadan. Another sample from Egypt after June 30: the cornering of civilians who were burned alive for a reason having nothing to do with the second revolution or the Muslim Brotherhood. And it is the the same monstrosity - or tolerance - seen in the Land of the Two Rivers and the Land of the Quiver, the mother of tolerance. It is as though everyone were equal at the level of their primitive instincts, after the collapse of transitional justice and the rule of the law. Today, Egypt is standing while puzzled on the banks of the revolution. It is neither Tunisia nor Libya, and it is not controlled by militias. But what is frightening is that those in power might disregard the threat of seeing the entities falling between the jaws of the domestic rivals and the war of Al-Qaeda and its partners on the border. Between trumpets here and mobilization there, Jihadists are turning the revolution into an act of killing for killing's sake and an eradication of hope.
