An interview with analyst and Middle east commentator Lamis Andoni is presented. Andoni summarizes the social and political uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa which were triggered by the Tunisian revolt. She assesses Western influence in the Arab world and warns that the U.S. is a threat to Arab uprisings. Also discussed are Syria's status as a "resistance state" and the likelihood of an uprising in Palestine.

The article offers the author's insights on the invasion of Israel to Palestine. She says that over 100 Palestinian activists were arrested since May 2008 and over 15 pre-dawn military invasions were performed between December 2009 and January 2010 based from the Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW). She adds that activists view that there must be a growth from the support of the global Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) campaigns due to the expanding activities of Israel in Palestine.
