    Conflict Over #al-Tal_Square: Is #Tripoli Poised to Become Another #Beirut?
    ▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/23866

    There is debate underway in Tripoli today as to what should happen to the city’s al-Tal Square. The debate is not concerned with possible ways to conserve the square as part of the city’s memory and heritage, or to preserve the historical character of the place — “the heart of the city,” as the people of Tripoli call it. The “developmental” discussions focus, rather, on choosing what project will be constructed in the square. On Tuesday, the municipality of Tripoli rejected a proposed parking lot, intended to start construction early next month, and instead accepted a Turkish donation of $50 million to construct a cultural and conference (...)

    Examining #Lebanon’s Demographic Realities
    ▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/23729

    http://english.al-akhbar.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/4cols/leading_images/tahtah-%2815%29.gif

    In the past years, new demographic groups have been introduced to Lebanon, creating a population pyramid that has been described as a “miracle,” a constellation that only happens during wartime and can only continue “by chance.” It is the same chance that has so far prevented the country from collapsing. However, it is clear that the country is moving toward an inevitable conflict between the various heterogenous groups living in it.

    Under the pretext of “fighting extremism” by “eliminating excuses,” Minister of Interior and Municipalities #Nouhad_al-Machnouk is determined to return the issue of civil marriage to square one, reversing all the progress made by non-sectarian forces. Former interior ministers #Ziad_Baroud and #Marwan_Charbel confirm that the procedures they followed to cross out confessional identities on civil registry records, and allow the registration of civil marriage contracts in Lebanon, were entirely legal, and that the reluctance to implement (or desire to annul) them is tantamount to stripping a segment of Lebanese citizens of their civil (...)

    On Tuesday, the Lebanese people will celebrate an important achievement attained by a civil movement in a long time. The Committee of the Families of the Kidnapped and Missing has proved that there is no room for despair if there is a quest for change. The struggle that started in 1982 resulted this year in an achievement that challenges the system.

      Illustration à nouveau du principe fondamental : dans un système confessionnel, quand on est humilié/racketté/escroqué/privé de ses droits fondamentaux, c’est logiquement, forcément, systématiquement par des membres de sa propre communauté.

      Les médias occidentaux préfèrent l’idée que « les sunnites sont humiliés par les chiites », mais c’est pourtant la logique même du confessionnalisme : les sunnites sont humiliés par des sunnites, les chiites par des chiites…

      Est-ce spécifique au système confessionnel ? Ne serait-ce pas plutôt toute société polarisée et violente qui renforce les pouvoirs locaux et donc leur corruption ?

      Nidal @nidal CC BY 23/12/2014

      Sans doute.

      Mais :

      – dans le cas libanais, il est assez net que le confessionnalisme est un élément fondamental fabriquant la polarisation et la violence ; depuis les affrontements entre paysans druzes et chrétiens du mont Liban en 1860, les puissants savent parfaitement transformer une Jacquerie qui les menace en sanglants affrontements confessionnels qui les posent en « protecteurs »…

      – et dans tous les cas, ça confirme bien qu’au Liban, la phrase « les sunnites sont humiliés par les chiites » est d’une grande faiblesse, puisque dans le système confessionnel, si tu es humilié, c’est très logiquement, avant tout, par des membres de ta propre communauté. Réussir à convaincre ces gens qui ne peuvent même pas faire enterrer leurs morts dignement, parce que leurs propres instances confessionnelles les escroquent, qu’ils sont avant tout humiliés par « les chiites », ça relève tout de même de l’exploit (ou plutôt : d’une propagande systématique et lourdingue).

    Palestinian media has always been rife with stereotypical cliches about women. It does not hesitate to impose preconceived ideas on Palestinian reality, without attempting to explain it.

    #Gaza’s doctors: The other face of the Resistance

    For 29 days, doctors in Gaza have been working amid blood and body parts. As hundreds of people suffering serious injuries continue to stream in, they are unfortunately forced to give priority only to those they can save. In the meantime, janitors working by their side have not stopped rinsing the blood away.

    Palestinians in Gaza cope with the bitterness of the occupation and do what they can to confront their difficult living conditions. But thanks to the siege and the ongoing conflict between the #Ramallah and Gaza governments, there remains no place for hope for cancer patients in Gaza. They suffer from the pain of health complications and face a number of obstacles that prevent them from traveling for treatment.

    Despite the beautiful images of social and religious solidarity in Gaza, some in the Strip insist on deviating from the norm and on looking out for their own interests by exploiting the basic needs of the people, in the absence of government [institutions], due to the severity of the war.

    Gaza – Every night I seem to think it’s the worst night, until I go through the next one. I got so used to the house shaking and moving from the consecutive blasts that it now feels weird when everything is still. Flashing lights, the ground shaking all around, that’s my house during the current Israeli war on Gaza.

    “Grudges subside in times of adversity.” However, this old Arab saying does not seem to apply to the relationship between Gaza and Cairo. It is true that Egypt already made its position clear about the war in Gaza by the kind of truce it proposed and (...)

    The “toil of 20 years” was gone in a flash. #Omm_Mohammed_al-Beik taught in several schools at once so she could buy a piece of land and build her home, brick by brick, on the tunnel road northeast of Gaza City.

    This year, some of Gaza’s graduating students will not have a chance to celebrate because, very simply, they are no longer with us, leaving behind nothing but their family’s sorrow and grief. What these students did not know is that the Israeli occupation will not only cut short the waiting period for the results of their high school exams, but that it was going to hand out (...)
