  • Ah, ça y est, Haaretz (et, à sa suite, la blogosphère) vient de découvrir le rapport parlementaire français qui parle d’apartheid en Palestine. Une bonne grosse campagne de comm à la con va donc commencer.

    The Israeli Embassy in Paris had no foreknowledge of the report and thus did not refute it or work to moderate it. Foreign Ministry officials called the incident “a serious diplomatic mishap.”

    The report said that water has become “a weapon serving the new apartheid” and gave examples and statistics that ostensibly back this claim.

    Glavany, ce vicieux :

    The report, he continued, “was loaded with the language of vicious propaganda, far removed from any professional criticism with which one could argue intelligently.” Moreover, the report’s author omitted numerous facts and acted “with blatant tendentiousness.”

    “After embassy staffers pointed out the exceptional seriousness of the wording ... all the working group members disassociated themselves from [the report], including the chairman, who sent an official letter to the ambassador renouncing responsibility for the report’s anti-Israel expressions,” Palmor added.

    Ce qu’il y a de plus drôle (ou choquant, comme tu veux) dans cet article, c’est que le plus gros regret des israéliens, ici, c’est de ne pas avoir pu prendre connaissance du contenu du rapport parlementaire français à l’avance pour pouvoir en faire changer le contenu. Ah bon ? Parce qu’ils peuvent faire ça, d’habitude ? Et même chez Haaretz, ils trouveraient ça normal ? #wag_the_dog
