Fanatics supported by US charity

samedi 28 mars 2015 à 13:00

The Israeli fanatics trying to push Palestinians out of Hebron are supported by a US charity with a tax exemption.

Oppression of women in Gaza

samedi 28 mars 2015 à 13:00

Female family mediators in Gaza try to reduce the effects of the oppression of women introduced by Hamas. But they too face the obstacle of unequal treatment.

French comedian

vendredi 27 mars 2015 à 13:00

French commedian Dieudonné M'bala M'bala was convicted of "condoning terrorism".

Dieudonné's statement, "I feel like Charlie Coulibaly", is not explicit about its meaning; it requires interpretation. I think it means he identifies with both the killers and the victims. It is certainly not an endorsement of the killings. Thus, I think that this was a miscarriage of justice, even granting that "condoning" can be a crime.

However, making the expression of opinions a crime is an attack on human rights in the first place.

Biggest threats

vendredi 27 mars 2015 à 13:00

The biggest threats to Iran are degraded water, land and air. The US and Israel are minor worries by comparison.

Stirring up fear

vendredi 27 mars 2015 à 13:00

Netanyahu won reelection by stirring up fear and calling opponents traitors.

He explicitly rejected allowing a Palestinian state, putting him openly against peace and against most other powers (including the US).

I hope some of them will have the courage to downgrade diplomatic and economic relationships with Israel until it changes this policy and starts evacuating its colonies in Palestinian territory.
