  • L’opposition entre rhétorique occidentale et dialectique orientale est au coeur du conflit entre Israël et le Hezbollah
    21 تموز (يوليو) 2006, بقلم برسي كامب
    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 changement (…)
  • Manifest Destiny and Israel
    16 April 2008, by Uri Avnery
    NEXT 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 Glenn
    Today, 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 has (…)
  • Qui veut détruire le Liban
    16 mai 2007, par Béatrice Patrie, Emmanuel Espanol
    Une guerre préméditée L’Etat d’Israël avait-il été surpris par l’accrochage entre une de ses patrouilles et le Hezbollah ? Cette question pose la problématique de la préméditation et de l’intensité de la riposte israélienne. Dans un entretien au mensuel du judaïsme français, L’Arche, le général Kaplinsky, numéro deux de Tsahal, présentait plusieurs mois avant la guerre sa vision de la situation du Hezbollah libanais. Il évaluait à 10 000 missiles la capacité de frappe du mouvement et (…)
  • Gaza, remember?
    19 April 2009, by Gideon Levy
    Alyan Abu-Aun is lying in his tent, his crutches beside him. He smokes cigarettes and stares into the tiny tent’s empty space. His young son sits on his lap. Ten people are crammed into the tent, about the size of a small room. It has been their home for three months. Nothing remains of their previous home, which the Israel Defense Forces shelled during Operation Cast Lead. They are refugees for a second time; Abu-Aun’s mother still remembers her home in Sumsum, a town that once stood near (…)
  • Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua
    18 January 2009, by Gideon Levy
    Dear Bulli, Thank you for your frank letter and kind words. You wrote it was written from a "position of respect," and I, too, deeply respect your wonderful literary works. But, unfortunately, I have a lot less respect for your current political position. It is as if the mighty, including you, have succumbed to a great and terrible conflagration that has consumed any remnant of a moral backbone. You, too, esteemed author, have fallen prey to the wretched wave that has inundated, (…)
