Fantômes du passé : Pour Israël, la guerre contre l’UNESCO est une bataille existentielle

Pour Israël, la reconnaissance par l’UNESCO de Jéricho comme site du patrimoine mondial en Palestine complique sa mission d’effacer la Palestine, au physique comme au figuré, de l’existence.

Jericho does not belong to the Palestinians alone. It belongs to the whole of humanity. For Israel, however, the recognition by UNESCO of Jericho as a “World Heritage Site in Palestine” complicates its mission of erasing Palestine, physically and figuratively, from existence. Israel’s foreign ministry described the decision as a “cynical”

Les marques perdantes de Tel Aviv : le « coup d’État » israélien et la mort de la fausse démocratie

Il n’est plus facile de promouvoir Israël comme « la seule démocratie au Moyen-Orient ». Avec l’effondrement du pilier « démocratie », le pilier « stabilité » s’effondre également. Et sans stabilité, les investisseurs s’enfuient tout simplement. .

From its very onset, Israel has constructed a brand for itself, a powerful gimmick that was predicated on two main pillars: democracy and stability. The main target audience for this brand has been powerful Western states that wielded disproportionate political, economic and military powers. These Western governments, along with their

Ce que les médias ne nous disent pas sur l’Afrique de l’Ouest

Peu d’attention a été prêtée à la possibilité que les pays africains en aient assez du vieil appareil, celui des dictateurs riches et violents soutenus par l’Occident – et supposés « démocrates » – qui dilapident les richesses de leur pays pour rester au pouvoir.

What if the "epidemic of coups" in West and Central Africa is not that at all but a direct outcome of outright revolutionary movements, similar to the anti-colonial movements that liberated most African nations from the yoke of Western colonialism throughout the 20th century? Whether this is the case or not, we are unlikely to find out anytime

De l’humiliation au viol : l’histoire inédite des abus commis par Israël à l’égard des femmes palestiniennes

L’humiliation des Palestiniens est une véritable politique israélienne et ne peut être attribuée à quelques brebis galeuses de la soi-disant « armée la plus morale du monde ».

Israeli soldiers' humiliation of Palestinian women in the occupied city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) on July 10 was not the first such episode. Sadly, it will not be the last. Indeed, the stripping of five women in front of their children, parading them naked around their family home and then stealing their jewelry by an Israeli military unit was not a

La logique israélienne tordue du meurtre d’enfants palestiniens

Après un examen exhaustif des données médicales, des témoignages oculaires, des séquences vidéo et des recherches sur le terrain, Human Rights Watch a récemment conclu que le gouvernement israélien tue délibérément des enfants palestiniens.

Israel kills Palestinian children as a matter of policy. This claim can easily be demonstrated and is supported by the latest findings of a Human Rights Watch report. The question is: why? When the police or military shoot a child anywhere in the world, though utterly tragic, it can be argued, at least in theory, that the killing was an

When the Torturer is the Savior: Can BRICS Help Us Escape the West’s Hegemony and Contradictions?

At the zenith of the mass protests in Egypt on January 25, 2011, Twitter, Facebook and other Western-based social media platforms appeared to be the most essential tools for the Egyptian Revolution. Though some observers later contested the use of the terms ‘Twitter Revolution’ or ‘Social Media Revolution,’ one cannot deny the centrality of these […]

China’s Diplomatic Evolution: A Potential Ally for Palestinians’ Quest for Justice

China’s slow drift from a Western-centric economic system is being coupled with a whole new approach to foreign policy – ‘wolf diplomacy’ in the West and a gentler, kinder approach in the Global South.

It is feasible for China to continue playing an important role in mediating Middle East conflicts. In fact, it already has. In the case of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, however, mediation is hardly the issue. Even before Beijing successfully managed to achieve reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran last April, Chinese diplomacy has
