L’inversion des discours
Quelle que soit l’issue du bras de fer qui s’est engagé en ce mois de juillet entre Israël et le Hezbollah libanais, il apparaît d’ores et déjà que quelque chose a changé qui devrait nous affecter sur la durée.
Ce n’est pas tant qu’on a pu voir pour la première fois des Arabes tenir tête à l’armée israélienne, suggérant qu’un certain changement serait intervenu dans l’équilibre usuel des forces. C’est plutôt sur le plan épistémologique qu’un véritable (...)

L’opposition entre rhétorique occidentale et dialectique orientale est au coeur du conflit entre Israël et le Hezbollah

Manifest Destiny and Israel
16 April 2008, by Uri AvneryNEXT MONTH, Israel will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The government is working feverishly to make this day into an occasion of joy and jubilation. While serious problems are crying out for funds, some 40 million dollars have been allocated to this aim.
Bur the nation is in no mood for celebrations. It is gloomy. From all directions the government is blamed for this gloom. "They have no agenda" is the refrain, "Their only concern is their own survival." (The word "agenda", with its (...) -
A powerful but masochistic expression of gratitude by the USA to Israel
13 June 2010, by Mark GlennToday, while driving through town, I wound up behind a minivan that had a big sticker on the back. The sticker had an Israeli flag in the middle of it and under it the quotation from the book of Genesis that reads "I will bless those who bless thee."
I would like to take this time to list my own reasons for thanking and blessing Israel, our lone ally in the Middle East, for everything she has done for us, since I am quite sure most Americans are unaware of just what kind of friend she (...) -
Fear Not
19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir1. Crying Wolf
So many people have circulated so many warnings of the forthcoming US-Israeli attack on Iran that it is hard to ignore them. A piece written by a few ex-spooks warning of a new round of war is one of these messages. In our view, spooks, ex or not, are not the most reliable people, and the CIA is not the best reference. However, this item fits with the dire predictions and accompanying Israeli U-boats to the shores of Iran. Rumours of Israeli advance forces being placed in (...) -
The Facts About Hamas and the War on Gaza
14 January 2009, by Norman FinkelsteinThe record is fairly clear. You can find it on the Israeli website, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Israel broke the ceasefire by going into the Gaza and killing six or seven Palestinian militants. At that point—and now I’m quoting the official Israeli website—Hamas retaliated or, in retaliation for the Israeli attack, then launched the missiles.
Now, as to the reason why, the record is fairly clear as well. According to Ha’aretz, Defense Minister Barak began plans for this (...) -
Israel’s Righteous Fury and its Victims in Gaza
9 January 2009, by Ilan PappeMy visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice — even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a (...)

رامسفبلد لشولتز: لا عدل ولا سلام في الشرق الاوسط بل نزاع وابتزاز وقتل!
25 نيسان (أبريل) 2015, بقلم ريمون عطااللهفي اواخر عام ١٩٨٣ اوفد جورج شولتز، وزير الخارجية الاميركي في ادارة الرئيس رونالد رمغان، مبعوثاً خاصاً الى لبنان والمنطقة لتقصي الاوضاع هناك. والمبعوث هذا هو دونالد رامسفيلد الذي كان وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جيرالد فورد، ثم اصبح لاحقاً وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جورج دبليو بوش يوم تقرر غزو العراق وإطاحة نظام صدام حسين عام ٢٠٠٣. فكان اصغر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ الولايات المتحدة في ولايته الاولى، وكان اكبر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ اميركا في ولايتة الثانية. وقد حصل «الديبلوماسي» (...)

« Protocole de Doha » : fin de l’Etat syrien ?
12 décembre 2012, par Noureddine MerdaciIl faudra sans doute attendre encore des mois, certainement des années, avant que ne soit reconstitué le processus par lequel la Syrie s’est retrouvée piégée dans cette guerre civile. A l’évidence, Damas n’en a pas mesuré la dangerosité, non seulement pour le régime en place mais, singulièrement, pour la Syrie qui risque de disparaître en tant qu’Etat national. Or, le voile commence à se lever sur les circonstances du « conclave » qui s’est tenu à Doha au début du mois de novembre dernier, (...)

Tous dans la rue contre l’intervention occidentale en Syrie !
29 août 2013, par Bernard DuguéLa France se prépare à attaquer un pays pour « punir » son régime a déclaré François Hollande. Rien que ce terme de punir devrait être pris pour suspect et faire réagir n’importe quel démocrate. En démocratie, on ne punit pas, on juge d’abord. Sans doute manque-t-il à notre président quelque culture littéraire. Il comprendrait alors en lisant Xénophon que la punition fait partie de l’arsenal exécutif du tyran. Sinon, pour faire plus moderne, devra-t-on rappeler qu’une intervention hors (...)
