The Journey from Syria, Part One
One afternoon last April, a Syrian jeweller named Aboud Shalhoub sat in a messy apartment in Istanbul, wrapping his legs in plastic film. For two and a half years, Shalhoub had tried to build a life in Turkey, away from the perils of wartime Damascus, where his wife, Christine, and their two young children would remain until he could afford to relocate them. As Shalhoub learned Turkish and took on several jobs, his children came to know him mostly through Skype calls. Finally, he decided that his best option was to travel to Europe as a refugee, apply for asylum, and submit paperwork for family reunification. If all went according to plan, his new country could facilitate travel out of Syria for Christine and the children.

The Journey from Syria, Part Two
In the first episode of “The Journey,” Aboud Shalhoub travelled from Turkey to Greece aboard a small dinghy packed with refugees that puttered across the Aegean Sea under the cover of darkness. Now, having reached Athens, Shalhoub hikes up to the Acropolis, in the center of the city. “We’ve reached a country where there’s real freedom,” he tells the filmmaker Matthew Cassel. “I’m speaking from the birthplace of democracy.”

Et maintenant, les États-Unis exportent la démocratie à Bahreïn : Even Bahrain’s use of ’Miami model’ policing will not stop the uprising | Matthew Cassel
►http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/dec/03/bahrain-miami-model-policingIn 2003, as a photography student in Chicago, I travelled to Miami to cover protests by trade unionists and other activists at a meeting of the Free Trade Area of the Americas. I had just returned from witnessing the repressive tactics of the Israeli army against Palestinians – invasions, curfew, violent crackdown on unarmed protests – but never expected to see them deployed at home in a US city.
I was shocked when I reached Miami and found it similar to a West Bank town under occupation. The city was largely empty save for police vehicles speeding in every direction and helicopters hovering above. Once the protests began, it was impossible to move more than a few feet in any direction without confronting the police and their brutality. The thousands of police dressed in full riot gear and armed with teargas, rubber bullets, batons, electric tasers – all of which were used against protesters and journalists – were everywhere around Miami.
The “model”, as Miami public officials called it at the time, was the brainchild of police chief John Timoney. After leading the head-bashing of protesters as Philadelphia’s police commissioner during the Republican party’s national convention in 2000, Timoney was hired by Miami and given more than $8m to introduce a level of police brutality unlike any we had ever seen in the US.
[…]
Now the Miami model is coming to Bahrain. The Associated Press reported on Thursday that Timoney has been hired by the kingdom’s interior ministry “as part of reforms” following the release of a report last week by a government-sponsored fact-finding commission.

L’utilisation du terme « régime » dans les médias permet systématiquement d’introduire un jugement de valeur négatif, sans avoir à apporter ni preuves ni explications. Quand un gouvernement est qualifié de « régime », généralement, il ne tarde pas à « narguer » la communuauté internationale... vous voyez, ce genre de choses que font les « régimes ».
Un journaliste ne doit donc jamais, mais alors jamais, qualifier Israël de « régime ». Il faut être Ahmanidejad ou Nasrallah pour faire un truc aussi dingue.
Ou bien... ce journaliste qui publie une tribune dans le Guardian. Et là, il n’arrête pas : « régime israélien » par-ci, « régime israélien » par-là.
Palestinians in Lebanon, at the lonely end of the Arab uprisings | Matthew Cassel
►http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/may/16/palestinian-refugees-lebanon-right-to-returnThe Israeli regime not only keeps under occupation more than 4 million people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and limits the rights of more than a million Palestinian citizens of Israel, it also denies more than 5 million refugees the fundamental right of return to the place they were forced to flee.
Une analogie malpolie :
Israel is showing itself to be no different to the infamous despotic Arab regimes in its willingness to use brutal force against people demanding their rights.
Et finalement, l’analogie et le « régime israélien » dans le même paragraphe :
Often the fate of the Israeli regime is raised when considering the rights of Palestinian refugees. Yet when Egyptians, Libyans and others took to the streets in the Arab world, it wasn’t a concern for the justice-supporting international community what became of the regimes they battled against. In many cases, internationals have even joined in calls for their ousting.
Si ça continue, la semaine prochaine, le Guardian publiera une tribune de Matthew Cassel expliquant que le régime israélien est destiné à disparaître des pages de l’histoire. Ou pas.
