The Independent publie certes Robert Fisk (qui est très bon sur la Palestine, pas mal sur l’Égypte, illisible sur le Liban), mais aujourd’hui, il publie une tribune dégueulasse de Julie Burchill.

It would be wonderful to think that what replaces Mubarak will be better. But here’s the thing about Middle Eastern regimes: they’re all vile. The ones that are “friendly” are vile and the ones that hate us are vile. Revolutions in the region have a habit of going horribly wrong, and this may well have something to do with the fact that Islam and democracy appear to find it difficult to co-exist for long.

In 1999, Burchill ’found God’, and became a Lutheran and later a “self-confessed Christian Zionist”. In June 2007, she announced that she would undertake a theology degree, although she subsequently decided to do voluntary work instead as a way to learn more about Christianity. She has volunteered in a local RNIB home. In June 2009 The Jewish Chronicle reported that she had become a Friend of Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue and was considering again a conversion to Judaism. Reported as having attended Shabbat services for a month, and studying Hebrew, Burchill now described herself as an “ex-christian”, pointing out that she had been pondering on her conversion since the age of 25. Burchill said that “At a time of rising and increasingly vicious anti-semitism from both left and right, becoming Jewish especially appeals to me. ... Added to the fact that I admire Israel so much, it does seem to make sense – assuming of course that the Jews will have me.”
Comme il y a deux jours : le Monde publiait une tribune à la teneur similaire, omettant de signaler que l’auteur était israélien :
