Every year around the world some 15 million people are uprooted from their land and homes to make way for “#development.” This slow tsunami of human misery does not attract much media attention, but forced displacement for development projects — such as mines, oil and gas pipelines, hydropower dams, and urban renewal schemes — has become a full-blown crisis in the developing world.

#film #Rithy_Panh's #The_Missing_Picture: A Survivor’s Memory of the Cambodian Genocide
Rithy Panh’s award-winning The Missing Picture, about the horrors of his childhood in Cambodia under the #Khmer_Rouge, was one of the most powerful films screened at the recent Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival. Told using clay #figurines, the film shows us step by step how the Khmer Rouge took charge in 1975, killing the educated, the “capitalist” class, minorities and those against the regime. The clay figures are suddenly forced to dress all in black, and line up to obey orders, including hard labor in eerily green rice fields, forced propaganda lectures, and the loss of any personal items.

Starbucks: We don’t provide financial support to Israel -
The coffee chain issued the statement in response to a call to boycott the company due to its alleged funding of ’the occupation of Palestine.’
By Haaretz | Aug. 9, 2014
▻http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.609651
The American coffee chain Starbucks announced this week that it did not fund Israel in an attempt to ward off calls for a boycott of its business. In a statement posted on its website, the company clarified that neither the chain, nor its Jewish CEO Howard Schultz, ever transferred funds to Israel or the Israeli Defense Forces. The statement also mentioned the fact that Starbucks closed its branches in Israel in 2003, due to what it termed “on-going operational challenges.”
In its website Starbucks posted a Q&A page dubbed “Facts about Starbucks in the Middle East,” in which to the question “Is it true that Starbucks or Howard Schultz provides financial support to Israel?” the company wrote the unequivocal answer “No. This is absolutely untrue.” Adding that “Rumors that Starbucks or Howard provides financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army are unequivocally false.”
On the same page the company said “Starbucks has been and remains a non-political organization.” Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson told CNN that the same is true as regards to Schultz. He also said that, Starbucks decision to leave Israel “was not related to political issues.” And that the company may decide to do business in Israel again in the future.
Starbucks issued the statement in response to a call to boycott the company due to its support of “the occupation of Palestine.” The call to boycott has been circulating on the smartphone application Buycott, which enables its users to publicize calls for boycott. 240 thousand users have joined the call to boycott Starbucks over its alleged support for Israel. Olson did not directly mention the app but mentioned an “uptick in false rumors out there about Starbucks and the Middle East.”

Spy Agency Stole Scoop From Media Outlet And Handed It To The AP
▻http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/05/terror-watch-list_n_5651757.html
After the AP story ran, The Intercept requested a conference call with the National Counterterrorism Center. A source with knowledge of the call said that the government agency admitted having fed the story to the AP, but didn’t think the reporter would publish before The Intercept did. “That was our bad,” the official said.
Asked by The Intercept editor John Cook if it was the government’s policy to feed one outlet’s scoop to a friendlier outlet, a silence ensued, followed by the explanation: “We had invested some quality time with Eileen," referring to AP reporter Eileen Sullivan, who the official added had been out to visit the NCTC.
“After seeing you had the docs, and the fact we had been working with Eileen, we did feel compelled to give her a heads up,” the official said, according to the source. “We thought she would publish after you.”
According to the source, Cook told the official that in the future the agency would have only 30 minutes to respond to questions before publication.

Et la réponse à la réponse : Saudi Crocodile Tears Over Gaza | David Hearst
►http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-hearst/saudi-crocodile-tears-ove_b_5628185.html
Hardly was the ink dry on this official news release, when Prince Turki al-Faisal, Bin Nawaf’s predecessor as UK ambassador, former intelligence chief and the brother of the current foreign minister wrote in al-Sharq al-Awast that Hamas was to blame for firing rockets and for refusing to accept Egypt’s ceasefire plan (which would have disarmed them). This is Israel’s and Egypt’s view too.
So which is it? Does the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia support Palestinians in their resistance to the occupation? Or does it support the siege manned by Israel and Egypt, until Gaza is demilitarized? These are two clear policies — support for the Palestinian resistance to the occupation and ending the siege of Gaza, or keeping the siege in place until all factions in Gaza are disarmed. Either Israel is engaging in genocide (strong words, Mr. Ambassador) or the resisters are terrorists who must be disarmed. Decide what it is you want the Kingdom to say. You can’t say both. You can’t swear allegiance to the Palestinians and give a nod and a wink to their killers.
La critique de Rula Jebreal, journaliste palestinienne, sur MSNBC
▻http://www.toutelatele.com/la-critique-de-rula-jebreal-journaliste-palestinienne-sur-msnbc-62043
Lundi 21 juillet, la journaliste palestinienne Rula Jebreal, collaboratrice sur MSNBC, critiquait le manque de présence de Palestiniens à l’antenne de la chaîne d’information. « Regardez combien de temps Netanyahu et ses amis passent à l’antenne chaque jour. Alors que je ne vois jamais un Palestinien interrogé sur les mêmes sujets », déclarait l’invité du Ronan Farrow Daily.
A la suite de cette déclaration, Rula Jebreal annonçait que sa prochaine apparition à l’antenne avait été annulée, laissant suggérer que MSNBC avait rompu tout lien avec elle. Une simple coïncidence pour la filiale de NBC : « Jebreal ne viendra pas mardi matin pour laisser place à l’interview exclusive de Tariq Abu Khdeir, un Américano-Palestinien de 15 ans battu par les forces israéliennes. Mais elle sera bien l’invitée de Chris Hayes ce mardi soir. »
Comme prévu, la jeune femme est apparue le soir même. Mais son statut passait du jour au lendemain de « collaboratrice de MSNBC » à « journaliste palestinienne » sans lien donc avec le diffuseur. La chaîne câblée a expliqué que le contrat de celle-ci était arrivé à son terme le mois dernier. « Mais nous l’avons accueilli plusieurs fois depuis », a ajouté un attaché de presse de MSNBC.

She compared it to host Brian Stelter being labeled on air as a “white man” or Alan Dershowitz as “Jewish lawyer.”
“Who does that?” she asked, questioning the thinking behind MSNBC’s decision. Jebreal continued, “I think whoever is doing this PR campaign for MSNBC needs to rethink these issues. Did I become ’Palestinian’ because this way you can describe me as emotional and as biased? And this way can avoid the debate about who is really biased on this issue? I think they need to give these answers not to me, to their audience.”
Saudi, Egypt and Israel work together in Gaza attack
▻https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/13044-saudi-egypt-and-israel-work-together-in-gaza-attack-
The war on Gaza is planned and orchestrated by Israel, Saudi and Egypt, a report by DEBKA-Net-Weekly said yesterday.
“Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, Egyptian President Fatah Al-Sisi and Netanyahu... [are] in constant communication on the war’s progress and confers on its next steps. Our sources reveal daily conferences, and sometimes more, between King Abdullah and President Sisi over a secure phone line,” the newsletter said.
DEBKA, thought to have close ties with Israeli intelligence agencies, said the world leaders go to great lengths to ensure their alliance remains undiscovered “given the political and religious sensitivities of their relationship”. Fearful of having even their secure lines intercepted, they prefer to send secret missions to visit each other and discuss the ongoing conflict.
“Israel keeps a special plane parked at Cairo’s military airport ready to lift off whenever top-secret messages between Sisi and Netanyahu need to be delivered by hand. The distance between Cairo and Tel Aviv is covered in less than an hour and a half,” DEBKA explained.

La réponse de David Hearst
Decide what it is you want the Kingdom to say. You can’t say both. You can’t swear allegiance to the Palestinians and give a nod and a wink to their killers.
And are the kingdom’s dealings with Israel really “limited to bring about a plan for peace”? You are privy to the cables, Mr Ambassador. Tell us what passed between Prince Bandar and the Mossad director Tamir Pardo at that hotel in Aqaba in November last year. The Jordanians leaked it to an Israeli newspaper in Eilat. Were Bandar and Pardo: 1. soaking up the winter sun 2. talking about the Arab Peace Initiative or 3. plotting how to bomb Iran?
And why are your new friends the Israelis being so loquacious? Why, to take the latest example, did Dan Gillerman, Israeli ambassador to the UN 2003-08, say at the weekend that “representatives from the Gulf states told us to finish the job in Gaza time and again”. Finish the job? Killing over 1000 Palestinians, most of them civilian. Is that you meant when you said “we will never do anything to harm them”?
The carnage in Gaza at least gives the world clear sight of the protagonists. The wonder of it is that all are American allies, three have US bases on their soil and a fourth is a member of Nato. America’s problems in the Middle East are more to do with their sworn allies than their sworn enemies.
On one side, stands Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Jordan. They consider themselves the voice of reason and moderation, but their methods are violent - the military coup in Egypt and the attack on Gaza have all happened in the space of 12 months. On the other, stands Turkey, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood and its affliate Hamas.
We should ,however, talk of governments rather people, because one reason why the government of Saudi Arabia has such an extreme position on Hamas and the Brotherhood in general, is that it knows full well that its own people don’t share their view.
Saudi Arabia’s leading pollster Rakeen found that 95% out of a representative sample of 2000 Saudis supported the continuation of the Palestinian resistance factions. Only three per cent did not. 82% supported the firing of rockets into Israel and 14 % opposed it. The kingdom’s hatred of Islamism stems not from the fact that it presents a rival interpretation of Islam. It is that it presents to a believer, a democratic alternative. That is what really scares the monarchy.
The proof of all those secret Saudi-Israeli meetings is to be seen in the behaviour of Egypt. It is impossible to believe that its new president Abdel Fattah al Sisi could act towards Hamas in Gaza independently of his paymasters in Riyadh. He who pays the piper - $5bn after the coup, $20bn now - calls the tune.
(...)
Saudi Arabia is treading a fine line. According to my sources, Netanyahu’s rejection of Kerry’s peace initiative over the weekend was due in part to the full support of its Arab allies. Saudi Arabia’s active support is keeping this brutal war going .
Attack on Gaza by Saudi Royal Appointment | David Hearst
►http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-hearst/attack-on-gaza-by-saudi-r_b_5603735.html
The attack on Gaza comes by Saudi Royal Appointment. This royal warrant is nothing less than an open secret in Israel, and both former and serving defense officials are relaxed when they talk about it. Former Israeli defense minister Shaul Mofaz surprised the presenter on Channel 10 by saying Israel had to specify a role for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the demilitarization of Hamas. Asked what he meant by that, he added that Saudi and Emirati funds should be used to rebuild Gaza after Hamas had been defanged.
Amos Gilad, the Israeli defense establishment’s point man with Mubarak’s Egypt and now director of the Israeli defense ministry’s policy and political-military relations department told the academic James Dorsey recently : “Everything is underground, nothing is public. But our security cooperation with Egypt and the Gulf states is unique. This is the best period of security and diplomatic relations with the Arab.”
The celebration is mutual. King Abdullah let it be known that he had phoned President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to approve of an Egyptian ceasefire initiative which had not been put to Hamas, and had the Jerusalem Post quoting analysts about whether a ceasefire was ever seriously intended.

Très beau spectacle de #théâtre vu il y a quelques jours, adapté de The Fountainhead, d’#Ayn_Rand. Ca parle d’#architecture — et d’#individu triomphant, mais ça c’est à chaque fois.
Si dans son roman Ayn Rand choisit son camp, oriente la lecture vers l’individualisme forcené de l’artiste en lutte contre le collectivisme d’un État qui soutient les parasites assistés, Ivo van Hove souhaite plutôt questionner que juger. Il permet au public d’entendre d’une façon plus équilibrée les arguments des uns et des autres au moment où la production artistique à l’intérieur d’un système libéral est questionnée, où un nouveau monde se crée sous nos yeux, où de nouveaux rapports de force s’établissent. Une fois encore, Ivo van Hove propose un théâtre fait de questionnements subversifs et des dilemmes perturbants.
C’est subtil donc critique, sans que je puisse déterminer de quel côté penche le metteur en scène (il y a bien le monologue final sur lequel il insiste bien) — mais je pense pour l’avoir entendu le lendemain sur FCult qu’il est assez libéral. Je sais pas ce qu’en pensent @lucile et @xporte qui l’ont vu aussi ?

Les titres ci-dessus de journaux et télévisions datant des 13-14 Juillet sont un échantillon des diverses façons dont ils ont choisi de saisir l’attention du lecteur dans la couverture de la campagne actuelle de bombardements israéliens dans la bande de Gaza, "Operation Protective Edge."
En examinant à la fois le langage et les structures utilisées dans divers titres, pour ne pas mentionner les articles mêmes (...), des tendances claires se dégagent concernant une tentative flagrante des médias d’éviter l’usage de certains mots, tout en en utilisant d’autres afin de créer l’illusion d’une guerre entre des forces armées égales, subissant toutes deux des pertes humaines.
Il est tout de suite évident qu’aucun des titres mentionnés ci-dessus ne contient le mot "Palestiniens". L’évitement clair du mot "Palestiniens", qui humaniserait et légitimerait ceux qui ont subi la quasi-totalité des pertes humaines dans cette campagne meurtrière, est constante et évidente. De plus, quand il est mentionné dans le contenu de ces articles, le mot « palestinien » qualifie le mot « militant » ou « terroriste », en ignorant souvent le fait qu’environ 77 pour cent des personnes tuées dans la campagne actuelle d’Israël sont des civils selon l’ONU .
La notion qu’Israël et le Hamas "échangent" des attaques, ou la nécessité constante pour les journalistes de souligner les décès dans la bande de Gaza en même temps que les "roquettes qui pleuvent" sur Israël, masquent la réalité de la situation sur le terrain. Est-ce une quête d’équilibre et d’objectivité au détriment de la fiabilité ?
Pourquoi les journalistes se sentent-ils obligés de présenter la population occupée qui subit un assaut de violence meurtrière de la même manière, avec le même niveau de gravité, que l’occupant militaire qui est l’auteur d’une telle violence ? Les Israéliens et les Palestiniens dans la bande de Gaza sont-ils tous deux face au même type de menace existentielle et de risque d’anéantissement ?
(...)
... la notion sacrée d’objectivité journalistique s’est pervertie ; plutôt que de documenter la réalité, elle sert de paravent pour cacher un biais massif.

CNN has removed correspondent Diana Magnay from covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after she tweeted that Israelis who were cheering the bombing of Gaza, and who had allegedly threatened her, were “scum.”
“After being threatened and harassed before and during a liveshot, Diana reacted angrily on Twitter,” a CNN spokeswoman said in a statement to The Huffington Post.
“She deeply regrets the language used, which was aimed directly at those who had been targeting our crew," the spokeswoman continued. "She certainly meant no offense to anyone beyond that group, and she and CNN apologize for any offense that may have been taken.”
The spokeswoman said Magnay has been assigned to Moscow.

If Magnay’s use of the word “scum” was so regrettable, what would have been a more appropriate way of describing this group of Israelis?
Bloodthirsty. Savage. Callous. Inhumane. Hateful. Vengeful. Sadistic.
Any of those terms could have been accurately used by Magnay and yet there’s no doubt that CNN would have been just as apologetic.
The only way she could have reported what she was witnessing right next to her and avoided criticism, would have been to say nothing at all.
This is what American media too often now demands from its reporters who cover Israel: silence or unabashed bias in favor of the Jewish state.
