Détruire la Palestine ou comment terminer la guerre de 1948
16 avril 2007, par Tanya ReinhartDepuis l’occupation de 1967, les responsables politiques et militaires israéliens débattent de la meilleure façon de conserver le maximum de terres avec le minimum de Palestiniens. Les dirigeants de la "génération de 1948", Alon, Sharon, Dayan, Rabin, Pérès ont été élevés dans le mythe de la rédemption de la terre. Sharon, dans un entretien étonnamment candide avec Ari Shavit (Haaretz, supplément hebdomadaire, 13 avril 2001), a donné un aperçu de la vision du monde qui avait cours dans le (…) -
U.S. drops spy charges against two ex-AIPAC officials
3 May 2009Federal prosecutors moved Friday to dismiss espionage-related charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of disclosing classified U.S. defense information, ending a tortuous inside-the-Beltway legal battle rife with national security intrigue. Critics of the prosecution of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee accused the federal government of trying to criminalize the sort of back-channel discussions between government officials, (…) -
The History and "Morals" of Ethnic Cleansing
6 January 2009, by Victoria BuchI arrived in Israel 40 years ago. It took me many years to understand that the very existence of my country, as it is today, is based on an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The project started many years ago. Its seed can be traced to the basic fallacy of the Zionist movement, which set out to establish a Jewish-national state in a location already inhabited by another nation. Under these conditions, one has, at most, a moral right to strive for a bi-national state; establishing a (…) -
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 has (…) -
Ethiopian students affair shows prevalent racism in Israel
6 September 2009, by Gideon LevyAll of a sudden, we can say "racism." A shock wave has struck complacent Israeli society. A few dozen Ethiopian children were not accepted to religious schools in Petah Tikva. That is truly terrible, everyone tsked-tsked at the heart-rending picture of Aschalo Sama, a boy without a school. Even President Shimon Peres expressed shock. Everyone is permitted to be shocked; it is politically correct. Oh, how beautiful we are, how enlightened we seem to ourselves. Look how we fight racism, (…) -
Belgian campaign targets bank financing Israeli settlements
5 April 2009, by Adri NieuwhofIn a remarkably short period of time, activists in Belgium have built a strong basis for the campaign "Israel colonizes — Dexia funds," asking the bank to divest from its subsidiary Dexia Israel because of its financing of the expansion of illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Israeli settlements violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, prohibiting the Occupying Power to deport or transfer parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies, (…) -
Gideon Lévy : une épine dans le flanc d’Israël
18 décembre 2006, par Sylvain CypelUne épine dans le désert". Le 25 août, quand les médias israéliens n’évoquaient que le "séisme" généré par l’"échec" de la guerre au Liban, Gideon Lévy, lui, rédigeait sous ce titre sa "story" hebdomadaire dans le supplément du quotidien Haaretz. Un reportage à Shoka - "épine", en arabe -, un village miséreux de la bande de Gaza. En un mois, quand tous les regards se portaient vers le Hezbollah, dix-sept Palestiniens y avaient été tués par l’armée israélienne. Gideon interroge les (…) -
1948 ne fut que le premier chapitre
19 décembre 2006, par Sylvain CypelLa scène se passe en février 1982. La paix avec l’Egypte a quatre ans. Ministre de la défense d’un gouvernement dirigé par Menahem Begin, leader historique de la droite nationaliste, Ariel Sharon est en visite au Caire. Comme à chaque déplacement, Shimon Shiffer, chroniqueur du quotidien populaire Yediot Aharonot, est du voyage. "Chaque soir, raconte-t-il, Arik appelait sa vieille maman au village. "Comment vas-tu ? Comment vont les vaches à la ferme ? - Bien, bien", répondait-elle. Et (…) -
The time of the righteous
10 January 2009, by Gideon LevyThis war, perhaps more than its predecessors, is exposing the true deep veins of Israeli society. Racism and hatred are rearing their heads, as is the impulse for revenge and the thirst for blood. The "inclination of the commander" in the Israel Defense Forces is now "to kill as many as possible," as the military correspondents on television describe it. And even if the reference is to Hamas fighters, this inclination is still chilling. The unbridled aggression and brutality are justified (…) -
Logique de purification ethnique à Gaza
6 janvier 2009, par Dominique EddéQuel est le bénéfice attendu par Israël, au terme de cette énième entreprise de bombardement, "Plomb durci" ? Sécuriser les citoyens israéliens. Anéantir le Hamas. Connaît-on un cas de figure ayant prouvé, par le passé, que la méthode pouvait marcher ? L’opération "Raisins de la colère", accompagnée du massacre de Cana, au Liban, en 1996 ? Elle a renforcé le Hezbollah et s’est soldée par le retrait des troupes israéliennes du Liban sud en 2000. L’opération "Rempart à Jénine", au printemps (…)
