The letter sent by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to the prime minister, cabinet members and the attorney general, in which he warns that Jewish terror is a danger to the state’s existence, constitutes a flashing warning light.
In any normal country, there would be no hesitation in doing the right thing. They would remove the radical right from the government and instruct security services to treat Jewish terror with the same gravity they do with Palestinian terror.
But as long as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich remain in the government, it will be impossible to fight Jewish terror. As long as the former is in charge of the police and the latter is in charge of the occupied territories, Jewish terror will know that it has the backing of higher authorities.

The screams rose to the skies. His mother heard them. She’ll never forget them. A terrifying, well-trained dog tore into the flesh of her 25-year old son, who had Down syndrome. The dog ripped and tore and she could not save him. The soldiers drove the mother out of the house by force (an IDF spokesman, who has not lost his sense of humor even in wartime, said they “pleaded” with the family to leave), and she was forced to abandon her son to his screams.
Ο Olivier Besancenot εξηγείται για το Νέο Λαϊκό Μέτωπο, τη δυναμική και τα όρια του απέναντι στη νεοφασιστική απειλή, στο νεοφιλελευθερισμό και στην νέα αριστερά που επιβάλλουν οι ανάγκες των "από κάτω" στην εποχή μας.
La victoire aux élections du Nouveau Front Populaire est une authentique victoire, rendue possible par la mobilisation de collectifs locaux extrêmement dynamiques. Mais cette victoire ne doit pas être éphémère. On a voté. On a gagné. Maintenant, il faut lutter et s'organiser.
Ομιλία του Ολιβιέ Μπεζανσενό (ΝΡΑ) στη συγκέντρωση 15.000 οπαδών του Νέου Λαϊκού Μετώπου, το βράδυ της Κυριακής 30 ΙΟυνίου, αμέσως μετά την ανακοίνωση των αποτελεσμάτων του πρώτου γύρου των γαλλικών βουλευτικών εκλογών.
Olivier Besancenot appelle à rejoindre le Front Populaire dans les urnes et dans la rue pour empêcher l'arrivée au pouvoir de l'extrême droite. L'extrême droite ça ne s'essaye pas, l'extrême droite ça se combat.

Le livre de Maria Malagardis « Avant la nuit »* est beaucoup plus qu’un polar ou un roman, beaucoup plus qu’un simple retour en arrière au génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda. Il est tout ça mais plus que ça parce qu’il marie le suspense du polar au travail d’historien, l’émotion à la réflexion. Et en plus, il tombe à point nommé pour éclairer le « phénomène » génocidaire en faisant imperceptiblement le pont avec ce qui est en train de se passer actuellement à Gaza, en direct sur nos écrans cette fois…
La réussite de l’entreprise de Mme Malagardis tient en grande partie à son originalité : centrer le récit non pas au massacre lui-même mais à sa préparation. Presque automatiquement, un tel choix élimine toutes les approches « métaphysiques » du génocide rwandais, celles qui attribuent d’habitude ce « désastre humanitaire » soit au sous-développement (moral?) de l’Afrique noire, soit aux éternels « instincts primitifs » des humains. En effet, s’il a eu préparation du génocide, alors il a nécessairement des... « préparateurs » en chair et en os, avec nom et adresse. Et aussi avec des motivations et des plans précis qu’il s’agit de chercher et de dévoiler aux yeux de tout le monde.
The images from that night will never leave us. Human beings, including babies, were torn apart, asphyxiated, and burned alive, their plastic tents and makeshift wooden shelters set ablaze as Israeli missiles rained down on them. These are the actions of a rogue state and the direct result of decades of impunity for systematic abuses and countless war crimes. This genocide must end now — and the U.S. must impose an arms embargo on Israel.
Persisting in his support for an unpopular war, the Democrat in the White House has helped spark a rebellion close to home. Young people — least inclined to deference, most inclined to moral outrage — are leading public opposition to the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. The campus upheaval is a clash between accepting and resisting, while elites insist on doing maintenance work for the war machine.
I wrote the above words recently, but I could have written very similar ones in the spring of 1968. (In fact, I did.) Joe Biden hasn’t sent U.S. troops to kill in Gaza, as President Lyndon Johnson did in Vietnam, but the current president has done all he can to provide massive quantities of weapons and ammunition to Israel — literally making the carnage in Gaza possible.

Today, on college campuses in the U.S., and around the world, there is a powerful student/faculty/staff/
The protests against the daily mass murder of Palestinian civilians, and freedom fighters, is challenging the entire ideological and institutional structure of U.S. imperialism. Like Israel, the system’s idealization of the “university” as a neutral site of intellectual discourse covers up the university as a defense contractor, police trainer, CIA and Defense Department strategist, agribusiness, and toxic polluter think tank, while it tries to recruit its students as the next generation of mass murderers—U.S. imperialism’s willing executioners.
Almost everyone seems to agree that the war in Ukraine has pulled into focus the notion of non-alignment among states of the Global South.
Observers have drawn parallels with the emergence of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that formed in the wake of the 1955 Bandung Conference, seeking to organize postcolonial states into a movement for decolonization, nonaggression, and noninterference in the internal affairs of sovereign nations. The first summit of the NAM was convened in Belgrade by Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Sukarno of Indonesia, and Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia in 1961. One of its core principles in the context of the Cold War was that members should refrain from allying with either of the superpowers, the United States and the USSR.

If Jonathan Glazer’s brave Oscar acceptance speech made you uncomfortable, that was the point

It’s an Oscar tradition: a serious political speech pierces the bubble of glamour and self-congratulation. Warring responses ensue. Some proclaim the speech an example of artists at their culture-shifting best; others an egotistical usurpation of an otherwise celebratory night. Then everyone moves on.
Alexei Navalny’s movement attempted a kind of mass mobilization rare among earlier liberal dissidents. He resisted the effort to stifle Russian society — an act of defiance for which he was killed.
On Friday — unless it had already happened the day before — dissident politician Alexei Navalny was killed in a jail for high-risk prisoners in Russia’s far north. The true causes of his death continue to be hidden, and it is not even known where his body is, though his parents and wife are unsuccessfully trying to get it back from authorities. Navalny may have died from a blow, from poison, or from the systematic torture to which he was subjected throughout three years in prison. We haven’t been told.
Si le revenu moyen annuel des agriculteurs (56 014 euros) est plus élevé qu’on peut parfois le croire, il masque une disparité très prononcée en fonction du type d’exploitation, relève l’économiste dans sa chronique.
La crise agricole française et européenne le démontre : aucune trajectoire de développement durable n’est possible sans une réduction drastique des inégalités sociales et des injustices criantes de notre système économique. Au lieu de cela, les pouvoirs publics à Paris et Bruxelles se lancent dans une fuite en avant d’un autre temps en relançant les pesticides et les pollutions, sans se donner les moyens de s’attaquer aux injustices et aux dogmes libéraux. C’est d’autant plus inadapté que le monde paysan constitue aujourd’hui le plus inégal des univers professionnels. Aucune solution viable ne pourra être trouvée si l’on ne part pas de cette réalité matérielle élémentaire.
