The media, which is mostly pro-Israel here as elsewhere, continue to proclaim that it is the Palestinian Arabs who do not want a Jewish state, when for 80 years it has been Israel that has blocked any agreement, prohibited the creation of a Palestinian state as provided for in the 1947 agreements, and terrorised and … Read more
We often forget the level of education in Gaza and Palestine. With a literacy rate of 98% (UN), Palestine has one of the highest rates in the world. With 12 universities and dozens of secondary schools, Gaza can compare itself to any developed country. Israel has understood that to dominate a country, you have to … Read more
In the Bible and the Talmud (and Jesus said something similar), it is said that those who return to the right path are worth more in the eyes of God than 1,000 righteous people. We are therefore delighted that Sinclair, Horvilleur, Sfar and a few politicians (Braun-Pivet, albeit with great caution) have recognised that they … Read more
Politics should not interfere with science, because when it does, whether through major priorities (such as Sarkozy’s Alzheimer’s plan), it prevents progress. By definition, science is a long-term endeavour, and major discoveries occur unpredictably in a fertile environment. When Stalin decided that Lysenko would manage genetics according to the laws of socialism – a narrow … Read more
No one with a shred of morality can deny that the events in Gaza and elsewhere in Palestine constitute war crimes and genocide. The massacres committed by Hamas on 7 October cannot justify the death and starvation of an entire people, the death of thousands of starving infants and the destruction of everything that makes … Read more
We live in troubled and dangerous times, with the beginnings of great wars being announced, sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly. Malraux was right to say that the next century will be religious or will not be. Indeed, we must admit that the three monotheistic religions have returned, to varying degrees, to a medieval and literal … Read more
In an interview conducted by journalist Anne Guion, I answered a few questions, emphasising the importance of motherhood, which is the most fragile period with regard to pollution in general and pesticides in particular (see also the french article below). Before Trump’s arrival, exceptional studies had shown that the incidence of autism and brain diseases … Read more
We live in a dangerous world, with Putin wanting to re-establish the Russian Empire in Europe, Trump wanting anything and everything, and the extreme right seemingly forgetting Nazism and the world wars. Not to mention the fashionable fake news that prohibits any debate based on facts, not fantasies. So we have to prepare ourselves for … Read more
In a just world, Trump, Biden and Netanyahu should be in the Hague next to the boss of Hamas for war crimes. Trump and Biden for having paid for this war, without them Israel would not have lasted more than a week for lack of Bombs. Trump too for so many other reasons that it … Read more
I fully understand that those who are over there have a sharper vision than mine, who live far from the bombs and bombings and who consider me a traitor. BUT, it can also be said that living far away allows you to see things with a bit more reason and long-term goals! A summary as … Read more
I can’t understand how anyone could dare to question the genocide in Gaza! It’s understandable that Jews, like me, have sensitivities. But the truth is the truth and there is no point in hiding it. It is genocide, with all the requisite criteria. We start with Guernica: more bombs were dropped on potential populations than … Read more
We have used and abused all the qualifiers, adjectives, adverbs and verbs to describe, in part only, this genocide, programmed and in progress. The destruction of everything that sustains life: hospitals, schools, universities, plantations, industry, religious and administrative buildings (including land registries, taxes, police), cemeteries. In short, a country returning to the Stone Age. What … Read more
Given the positions of Mr Elon Musk, which aim to destroy democracies and replace them with dictatorships managed by his clones, I have decided, as I hope more and more people and organizations have, to stop publishing my content on X, which I am leaving without regret and am going to look elsewhere for communication … Read more
In Christian demonology, Beelphegor is the demon who seduces his victims by inspiring them with ingenious discoveries and inventions designed to enrich them. He comes from the Hebrew ( בעל פעור-he possesses “evil”) and operated at the time of the Jews’ exit from Egypt by seducing the Hebrews away from their God through the intermediary … Read more
Several important events in 2024 attest to the general decline of democracy. There were the 2 wars in Ukraine and Israel, generated by a dictatorship and a democracy in the process of ceasing to be one. Admittedly, these are not the only wars – we forget Sudan and Burma, for example, because they seem so … Read more
As expected, in this age of fast-moving news and images created everywhere, the truth is coming out even in Israel. Despite the efforts of Netanyahu’s far-right government, videos of the situation in Gaza and the massacres perpetrated by the Israeli army have finally appeared on local TV and in the leading newspaper Haaretz, as well … Read more
The Israelis have every right to take revenge for October 7. But that doesn’t ignore the fact that the massacres in Gaza began long before 7/10 and, above all, are beyond imagination: everything that moves is shot at – women, children, babies, the elderly – everything that can sustain life is destroyed – buildings, hospitals, … Read more
In an exhaustive study (1), the authors show a continued increase in the incidence of cancers among young people. By studying the frequency of cancers since 1920 in the US, we observe a continuous increase in cancers, X3 for pancreatic cancers, kidney cancers, etc. Among young people, 9 cancers are more common among young people: … Read more
To dispute the Shoah is to kill the dead a 2nd time by denying their memory. Fortunately, the law prohibiting this is there to forbid it and remind Le Pen and co. that this is no “detail of history”. We are struck by the refusal of Jewish leaders to face up to the scale of … Read more
Talmudist, religious Jew, Doctor of Chemistry, biochemist, doctor of neurology, historian of science, philosopher was one of the most significant minds of Israeli thought. Editor-in-chief of the Hebrew encyclopedia, he was also the winner of the Israel Grand Prize. In the sixties, I had the opportunity to follow the courses of this great chemist at … Read more
You don’t have to be a historian to know that Israel has occupied a territory since 1967 and is doing what is necessary to empty it of its Palestinian occupants, moreover in the continuity of the decisions of all the governments that have succeeded one another – the exception for a brief period of Itzhak … Read more
Doubt is always required in order to form an opinion and in order to have an opinion, it is appropriate to look at the facts with indisputable testimonies in the age of fake news and counter-truths asserted without embarrassment by the same people. I therefore allow myself to give links to facts / testimonies of … Read more
As a citizen and scientist, it seems obvious to me that the coming to power of the far right will leave an indelible mark on living together. We should not have any illusions. Macron’s regime has failed, behaving like a monarch in a republic by having prepared the ground for this earthquake. We will have … Read more
The current government of Israel is so extremist anti-Arab that even French extremist parties like the National Front or Reconquest would hesitate to go so far. Kill the maximum number of Arabs in Gaza – children, old people, etc. – all considered animals to be slaughtered (according to a minister) – babies are future terrorists … Read more
It just goes to show that reason ends up convincing the most recalcitrant! the world bank, certainly not a leftist and environmentalist Huber lulu environment, finally supports the need to completely review the agri-food system. The exorbitant ecological cost of intensive agriculture and the food that results from it would be enough to fail to … Read more
The Israeli president even decreed that all residents, including children, are terrorists. HE obviously hasn’t seen this little film which shows endearing, moving and I would say beautiful children. This type of film seriously contributes to making more human a population that we are described as bloodthirsty. These children thank US universities for their support … Read more
The massacres of 7/10 are on everyone’s minds and the people of Hamas are not children at heart; they have blood, rape and massacre on their hands and should be tried in The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity. We must always remember that with the support and blessing of this same Netanyahu, … Read more
Mr. Friedman is a respected journalist from the New York Times, expert on the Middle East, recipient of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize and having the ear of President Biden. In short, an important personality in the media and US politics. In a recent editorial of an interview in the left-wing newspaper Haaretz, Mr. Friedman declared … Read more
In a world surrounded by short-termism and the absence of coherent analysis, we can only be struck by this analysis by an anthropologist and researcher associated with the School of Advanced Studies in Social Science – Catherine Hass. She asked herself the question – following the death of her sister killed in the Hamas suicide … Read more
WE ARE JEWISH WRITERS, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. Israel and its defenders have long used this rhetorical tactic to shield Israel from accountability, dignify the US’s multibillion-dollar investment in Israel’s military, obscure the deadly reality of occupation, and deny Palestinian sovereignty. … Read more
