Hamid Dabashi: “One more time: two former European colonial powers France and UK join the US imperial warmongering to attack an Arab country — for the full advantage of their collective settler colony in the region Israel —
Their Zionist implant in the region had been paving the way for their invasion by systematic bombing of the selfsame Arab country —
What will this invasion achieve? Exactly the opposite of its stated objectives— it will strengthen the bloody ruling regime in Syria, it will expand the insidious power of its supporters Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, as Turkey will use this smokescreen to target more Kurdish enclaves — all of which will create yet another fertile ground for the resurrection of ISIS —
The Zionist counterpart of ISIS will meanwhile do what it always does under these circumstances: kill more Palestinians and steal more of Palestine— Netanyahu’s corrupt racist to the core rule over the Israeli garrison state will linger even more — liberal Zionists at Haaretz will join the bandwagon and shed crocodile tears for the Syrian civilians—
Trump will look presidential hoping this war will ward off Mueller investigation and weaken the impact of Comey’s new book on his charlatanism, as Niki Haley exudes humanitarian air of caring for Syrians, as she prepares her next career move drafting her speech for the forthcoming AIPAC conference —
The cost? Even more death, destruction, mayhem, and refugees in Syria —exposing the vulgar hypocrisy of Trump who bans Syrian refugees to come to US, and even uglier duplicity of the despicable Haley defending Syrian civilians at the UN while vetoing any investigation into the Israeli crimes against humanity in Palestine—”

Les médias occidentaux et la mystification des masses
Hamid Dabashi – Que nous dit la couverture médiatique des atrocités commises par Israël contre Gaza, sur la vérité des médias occidentaux ?
La mystification des masses
Dans leur livre révolutionnaire, La Dialectique de la Raison (1944), les figures fondatrices de la théorie Critique, Théodore Adorno et Max Horkheimer consacrent un, désormais célèbre, chapitre à ce qu’ils ont appelé « l’industrie culturelle : raison et mystification des masses. »
Dans ce chapitre, ils étudient comment les sociétés capitalistes avancées fabriquent des sujets sociaux en tant que consommateurs de la culture de masse – consommateurs des cafés Starbucks ou des hamburgers MacDonald – autrement dit, leurs subjectivités sont les créations d’une industrie culturelle, les réceptacles d’un corps massif de désinformation qui ne se contente pas de les divertir et de les occuper, mais les dispose comme les récipients d’une domination idéologique, au-delà de leur capacité de conscience et de critique. Leur conférant un sentiment de fausse liberté de choix.
Ce que nous appelons aujourd’hui le « Média Occidental » est le parfait exemple des idées d’Adorno et Horkheimer, la production « d’actualités » en tant qu’exemple parfait du fétichisme de la marchandise. De tels organes de presse comme la BBC, CNN, le New York Times, sont des enseignes sous lesquelles cette marchandise, qui se fait appeler « Média Occidental », fabrique une vérité à prendre en compte et par conséquent, la conscience standard de la personne qui consomme ces informations et se croit informée. Ils se pensent des médias objectifs qui parfois présentent et diffusent des publicités pour une compagnie aérienne ou un détergent. Mais ils sont eux-mêmes une marque tout autant que les autres enseignes pour qui ils font de la publicité.
Ce « Média Occidental » s’est d’abord, historiquement positionné à l’opposé des médias du bloc soviétique, de Chine ou du « Tiers Monde » ; en général, étiquetés « contrôlés par l’État », « propagandistes » et de ce fait faux, il s’est alors défini comme « indépendant », « objectif », « juste » et « véridique. »
Cette image politique est devenue maintenant une auto-désignation standard de la vérité. C’était, peut-être, paradoxalement – peut-être pas, une imposture de la classe d’un Donald Trump, aujourd’hui président des États-Unis, qui a d’abord mis ce « Média Occidental » sur la défensive en le baptisant « faits alternatifs ». Ses mensonges et son charlatanisme sont une marque d’actualités hostiles au « Média Occidental ».
Ce même « Média Occidental » est maintenant dans un état de choc auto-défensif. Il se croit sous la menace d’une désinformation manipulatrice, comme en témoigne le scandale de Cambridge Analytica, qui a dévoilé l’affaire des « mine data », des données obtenues des réseaux sociaux pour manipuler les masses cruciales de votants lors des élections nationales. Le « Média Occidental » a trouvé en Cambridge Analytica, son pendant, une nouvelle marque concurrente. Cambridge Analytica est un grand miroir, étincelant, tendu au « Média Occidental », le distanciant dans ses pratiques et son image à l’ancienne.
Laissez-moi vous expliquer.

S’appuyant sur une loi israélienne leur permettant d’avoir accès à une partie du dossier d’un mineur, les avocats de la jeune fille ont réussi à se procurer une vidéo de deux heures, où Ahed Tamimi âgée de 16 ans à l’époque, est interrogée sans la présence d’un avocat ou d’un membre de sa famille.
« Les séances d’interrogatoires ont eu lieu après différents types de pressions physiques et psychologiques », a accusé son père, Bassem Tamimi, lors d’une conférence de presse à Ramallah. Selon lui, sa fille a été maintenue en isolement, changée de cellule régulièrement et privée de sommeil.
Syrie: Macron a la “preuve” d’attaques chimiques - International - LeVif.be

La France a « la preuve » que le régime syrien a utilisé des armes chimiques le 7 avril près de Damas, et prendra ses décisions en « temps voulu », en coordination avec les Etats-Unis, sur d’éventuelles frappes en représailles, a déclaré le président Emmanuel Macron.
Mais au même moment, Mattis...
“said the administration is still awaiting evidence that may depend on Syria allowing a team of inspectors into the country to survey the Damascus suburb where the alleged attack last weekend killed dozens, including children.
That process that could take days, and any findings will not determine who committed an attack, he said.”

“As each day goes by — as you know, it is a non-persistent gas — so it becomes more and more difficult to confirm it.”

3. Trump has said: “We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited chemical agents.” Given that he doesn’t know whether Bashar Assad used chemical weapons, or whether Assad’s jihadist opponents in Douma have access to such agents, his statements can only give Islamic extremists of the headchopping variety a huge incentive to carry out (more?) false-flag attacks – or simply mock up phoney attacks – to intensify western violence that will work in their favour.

the PLO’s Prisoners’ Committee and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said that 353 Palestinian children had been arrested by Israel since the start of 2018.
In the statement, the two groups said: “In addition to being brutally arrested in the dead of night, they are sometimes intentionally shot with live ammunition during the arrest, insulted, tortured and put under heavy pressure to give false confessions.”

“They are also sentenced in absentia, pressured to pay high amounts of money as fines and sentenced to long periods.”
The statement said that these are only some of the Israeli “crimes” carried out against Palestinian children.
Between January 2017 and February 2018 Israeli authorities put 102 Palestinian children, most of them from Jerusalem, under house arrest, citing an increase of 15.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2016.
#PalChild
Since 2000 and the start of Al-Aqsa Intifada Israel has arrested at least 7,000 Palestinian children, many of whom while underage and turned 18 in prison.
The number of Palestinian children inside Israeli jails reached record numbers post 2009. In October 2015 there were more than 400 children inside prisons, including 116 between 12 and 15 years old.

Il n’existe plus de chevaux sauvages | Pour la Science
▻https://www.pourlascience.fr/sd/zoologie/il-nexiste-plus-de-chevaux-sauvages-12967.php
Le cheval de #Przewalski, un cheval archaïque découvert en Mongolie en 1879, passait pour la seule espèce sauvage de cheval encore en vie. Les travaux de Ludovic Orlando, du CNRS et de l’Université Paul Sabatier à Toulouse, viennent de révéler que ce n’est pas le cas : c’est un cheval domestiqué retourné à la vie sauvage. En outre, nos chevaux domestiques actuels ne descendent pas de cette première population chevaline domestiquée connue,.
La domestication du cheval s’est produite entre le IVe et le IIIe millénaire avant notre ère, durant à l’âge du Cuivre (Chalcolithique). Les plus anciens indices proviennent d’une culture de chasseurs de chevaux présente au nord du Kazakhstan actuel, il y a 5 500 ans : la culture de Botaï.
[…]
Qu’en ressort-il ? Deux résultats inattendus. Pour commencer, il s’avère que les chevaux de Botaï ne sont pas les ancêtres des chevaux actuels, mais qu’ils sont les ancêtres directs des chevaux de Przewalski. Ainsi, ces chevaux qui passaient pour sauvages ne le sont pas. Ce sont des équidés féraux, c’est-à-dire domestiqués puis retournées à la vie sauvage.
[…]
Le deuxième résultat inattendu est qu’il va falloir rechercher l’origine de nos chevaux ailleurs que dans la culture de Botaï. En effet, aucun des 22 génomes de chevaux eurasiatiques séquencés par l’équipe de Ludovic Orlando ne s’est avéré apparenté aux chevaux de Botaï. Au moins un autre foyer de domestication a donc existé. Reste à le trouver. En Anatolie, en Asie centrale, mais aussi dans les steppes pontiques, de vastes régions de l’est de l’Ukraine et de la Russie méridionale où les cultures cavalières des Scythes et des Sarmates ont prospéré dans l’Antiquité.
Affirmations contestées par les Amis du Takhi (nom mongol du cheval de Przewalski)
Sauvage ou pas ?
▻http://www.takh.org/fr/actualite/228-sauvage-ou-pas
Gaunitz et al. ont élaboré une théorie expliquant l’origine du cheval de Przewalski, dans un article récemment paru dans le magazine ‘Science’. Le cheval de Przewalski descendrait ainsi d’individus domestiques élevés par le peuple de Botai ayant vécu au nord du Kazakhstan, il y a 5 500 ans. Le caractère domestique de ce noyau de population est loin de faire l’unanimité et les indices pointant une possible domesticité ont tous reçu des contre arguments :
[…]
Par ailleurs l’article dans Science ne démontre pas en quoi le Przewalski serait passé par la phase de sélection génétique inhérente à tout processus de domestication. On ne trouve pas non plus le jeu de gènes associés à la domestication. Le cheval de Przewalski garde de plus sa crinière dressée, un caractère commun à tous les équidés sauvages.
Nous pensons donc que dans l’état actuel des connaissances, il est injustifié de considérer le cheval de Przewalski comme un animal domestique.

Notre projet de réintroduction en Mongolie
Retour en Mongolie
En 2004 et 2005, l’ Association TAKH a réintroduit 22 chevaux de Przewalski du Villaret, dans le sud de la France à la zone tampon du parc national de Khar Us Nuur, à Khomyn Tal à l’ouest de la Mongolie. En collaboration avec les éleveurs locaux, nous protégeons un enclos de 14.000 hectares pour la population de chevaux sauvages et observons quotidiennement leur comportement. Notre objectif final est de supprimer complètement la clôture afin que les chevaux puissent se déplacer librement dans la région. Pour se faire, nous devons minimiser le risque d’hybridation avec les chevaux domestiques et assurer un habitat propice aux herbivores sauvages et domestiques.

More migrant workers needed to offset ageing population, says IMF | Business | The Guardian

The International Monetary Fund has said advanced economies such as Britain, the US and Japan risk being overwhelmed by their ageing populations, and calls on them to throw open their borders to more migrant workers in response.
Within the next few decades, working-age adults will need to support double the number of elderly people than they do now, putting immense pressure on welfare systems and wiping out as much as 3% of potential economic output by 2050, the IMF said in its latest World Economic Outlook report.

How the United States and Israel Praise Each Other as National Security Exemplars to Validate Their Own Actions
▻http://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/36400/How-the-United-States-and-Israel-Praise-Each-Other-as-National-Security-E
Sometimes, an appearance of borrowed security knowledge can be misleading. In his memoir, a former US interrogator in Iraq recalls having witnessed a torture device called “the Palestinian chair,” which his colleagues said Israeli interrogators had taught them to build during a joint training exercise. But in an interview, he explained: “I was never clear on the actual origin. The rumors...were that Army interrogators had learned to use this chair by Israeli interrogators...I certainly don’t know if that’s true.” Similarly, detainees in US custody in Iraq were reportedly held in a high-stress position known as a “Palestinian hanging.” This technique, however, might not actually be Israeli in origin. The adjective “Palestinian” could have simply been used to play on the fears evoked by mentioning Israeli torture. What matters, then, is not only the origin of such methods. The very conjuring of Israel/Palestine demonstrates its centrality in the US national security imagination.
Israel is the terrorist
Young Palestinians are not carrying out acts of terror- they are leading a desperate struggle against an army that is a thousand times stronger than they
Ilana Hammerman Apr 05, 2018
▻https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-israel-is-the-terrorist-1.5976966
About a week ago, on the highway between Hermesh and Mevo Dotan, two soldiers were killed and two were injured by a car that was driven by a resident of Barta’a. There are not many Israelis who know where these settlements are located and in what kind of reality they exist. But the vast majority probably have no doubt who was the terrorist here, and who, the innocent victim, and they hope for the fulfillment of the vow made by President Reuven Rivlin, who declared after the incident: “We will not rest until we bring all the collaborators to justice; we will not allow terrorism to become a reality.”
The problem is that terror has long since become the reality, and the entity that has allowed and is allowing this to happen is the State of Israel. Look at the map and find Barta’a, and maybe you’d even be interested in going there and seeing and hearing how its residents live and what their surroundings are like. I happened to do so a few days before the car-ramming incident, and it was completely clear to me – and not for the first time – that this reality is a product of the ongoing policy of terror pursued by generations of Israeli governments, and that it is this policy that gives rise to the acts of resistance against it.
What’s amazing is only that there aren’t more such acts, because it’s really and truly an intolerable situation. Barta’a al-Sharqiya is located east of Wadi Ara, between the Green Line and the separation barrier. In that location the fence makes a major detour into the West Bank in order to include in Israeli territory four settlements with names as fresh and pleasant as the fruit of the field and its fragrances: Shaked (Almond), Reihan (Basil), Hinanit (Daisy) and Tal Menashe (Dew of Menashe).
Within this enclave there are also four Arab villages, the largest of which is Barta’a al-Sharqiya. This entire enclave, with its fences, checkpoints and military forces, exists and thrives only for the benefit of the settlers who settled in it and next to it. The people who have been living for ages in the Arab villages in this part of the country suddenly found themselves penned in and subject to a diabolical maze of orders and regulations: They are not allowed to enter Israel to the west, while to the east, in the West Bank– their natural living space – two checkpoints were set up for them, via which they must leave and enter during opening hours and with the permission and good graces of the soldiers and private security guards posted there.
A few are also allowed to bring food and merchandise in their cars via the checkpoints, with restrictions. Palestinians who live outside the enclave – who are members of the same nation as those living within it, and often their relatives – are not permitted to enter unless they have “special permits.”

Farmers from outside the enclave found themselves cut off from their land, and they too must request special permits and must enter and leave through special gates and at predetermined opening hours, in order to cultivate their fields. The settlements of Hermesh and Mevo Dotan are also situated in the area of the West Bank, but outside the enclave. The point is that every such settlement that is built In the West Bank – in which not a single dunam belongs to the State of Israel – disrupts the lives of the Palestinian villages in the area in ways that a free citizen would find difficult even to imagine.
That’s the reality there, and it’s one of state-sponsored terror, the State of Israel. Because what is land confiscation on a huge scale, what are restrictions on freedom of movement, and with it freedom of employment and commerce, home demolitions, the imposition of curfews and closures, the building of innumerable fences and walls and the deployment of military forces armed to the teeth, in the heart of a Palestinian civilian population, in order to protect an Israeli civilian population that settled among it by force – what are all these if not terror, in other words, a war against unarmed citizens?
And so, in this situation a young Palestinian girl stands in the back yard of her home in Nabi Saleh and slaps an Israeli soldier who was sent to her village only in order to guard the settlement of Halamish, which also thuggishly stuck itself deep inside the area of the West Bank; and in this situation two young women arrive at the checkpoint in the heart of Hebron, each one separately, with a knife in their hand or their bag, and the armed soldiers – who are there in order to protect a violent Jewish settlement, which expelled tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and incessantly abuses those who survived – shoot them dead.
And in this situation demonstrators emerge in the heart of the cities of Jericho, Bethlehem or the outskirts of the village of Beit Ummar, carrying stones and tires for burning and incendiary devices, to confront soldiers armed with machine guns and stun and gas grenades, who invade their communities and their homes day and night and injure and kill those who resist them and flee from them; and in this situation a young man comes from Barta’a and runs over and kills and injures soldiers – who are posted there only to protect the settlements that were generously built north and south of his village, and because of which the crowded village is doomed to economic and human strangulation.
What are the acts of these young people? Terror? No, this is a desperate struggle by groups and individuals, who from the day they were born have nothing to hope for, against an army that is a thousand times stronger than they. And what is this army defending: The security of its country? No, it is defending the choice of Israeli governments to use terror to impose the “state of the Jewish people” on the entire region between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River.
I would like to make these things clear out of a belief in the power of words to shape consciousness. And sometimes political involvement as well.
