imagine if the media was as concerned about an actual genocide as it was with getting a muslim mayoral candidate to denounce a phrase he never even said

Rien à redire.

Netanyahu et Trump mettent l’humanité en danger pour satisfaire leur besoin de domination sans contrôle. Bombarder des sites nucléaires est un crime de guerre et quand les matériaux se répandent dans l’atmosphère de la planète, c’est un crime contre l’humanité. Ces deux-là misent sur la détestation légitime du régime iranien pour faire accepter la loi du plus fort par le génocide et les bombardements. La France doit refuser de s’aligner sur ce duo mortel et porter le drapeau de la paix sans faux-semblant. Elle ne doit pas s’isoler.

US ‘liberals’ could do worse than reflect on Aimé Césaire’s definition of the imperial boomerang:

“And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss.”

Exactement !

À propos d’une affiche : la nécessité d’une approche matérialiste de l’antiracisme Depuis maintenant près d’un an et demi, la France Insoumise fait l’objet d’une intense campagne de délégitimation visant à l’exclure du prétendu “arc républicain” au motif de son engagement contre …

Un axe étrange prend forme. Non pas celui du « Mal » qui rassemblerait les « ennemis » de l’Occident. Ni celui qui irait de Trump à Poutine. Mais une alliance plus large : l’Internationale des censeurs, où se coudoient autocrates, démocrates et bureaucrates. ↓
