Gaza: Israeli air strike kills two little girls...

"I saw two girls, ages 4 and 12 hit by a bomb from an F16,'' said Ewa Jasiewicz, an activist originally from Kingston, Surrey. "They were outside clearing some rubbish around their homes.

The younger girl, believed to be Haya Hamdan, died instantly and Miss Jasiewicz said Gaza's severe shortage of medical facilities hampered efforts to save the second girl, her sister Lama. "The people of Gaza have nothing left from the ongoing siege: there is not even an ambulance to take a child to the hospital.'' 

It was later confirmed the older girl died in hospital. "There is no excuse in dropping bombs on Gaza, as civilian deaths are unavoidable. More...

Egypt: donkeys ordered to wear ... diapers!!!

Donkeys have been banned from walking around in the streets of Egypt's southwestern al-Wadi al-Gadeed governorates without wearing diapers, an official said. 

Mohammed Haround said the measure was to "preserve the aesthetic and cultural scene of the governorate which currently witnesses an unprecedented boom in tourism". 

"Diapers are available in the markets at low prices," Haroun was quoted by the official MENA news agency as saying Tuesday. He added that owners of the donkeys who violate this decision will be fined. 

Donkeys are vital for many Egyptians since they can easily carry 20-30 percent of their body weight and are helpful in farming. Donkeys and donkey-drawn carts are a common sight in Egypt's cities and countryside.

Gaza: the war is also raging ... on the Internet!

As fighting rages in the Gaza Strip an unprecedented 'virtual war' is being joined in cyberspace. 

A furious public information battle is taking place on sites ranging from YouTube to Facebook between the Israeli state and Hamas. 

It is part of an attempt by Israel's political leaders to use the internet to spread their message and has seen the country's Army, the IDF, becoming the first ever national force to set up their own YouTube channel. More...

Windows 7 Beta Review...

How does one review a supposedly new version of a product that they have, in reality, already been using for months? It's not easy, believe it or not: The Beta version of Windows 7 (build 7000) that Microsoft will later deliver to tech beta testers and then, in January, to the public, is nothing more than a very finely tweaked version of the various post-M3 (Milestone 3, or build 6801--see my lengthy overview of that build) builds I've been using since October. In fact, there is almost no difference at all between this version of Windows 7 and M3, assuming you've enabled all the hidden M3 features using Rafael Rivera's "Blue Badge" tool. More...

Local authorities are backing the women and have sent out text messages urging the men to "make love, not explosions". More...

Global warming? And yet, 2008 was a pretty cool year...

As Christopher Booker says in his review of 2008, temperatures have been dropping in a wholly unpredicted way over the past year. Last winter, the northern hemisphere saw its greatest snow cover since 1966, which in the northern US states and Canada was dubbed the "winter from hell". This winter looks set to be even worse.

Evidence from all over the world indicates that the earth was hotter 1,000 years ago than it is today. Research shows that temperatures were higher in what is known as the Mediaeval Warming period than they were in the 1990s. More...

Shoe-thrower Muntadar al-Zaidi's trial postponed...

The trial of the Iraqi man who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush earlier this month has been postponed. 

Muntadar al-Zaidi, 29, was expected to appear in court on Wednesday charged with assaulting a foreign leader, and faced a maximum sentence of 15 years. 

But after an appeal, a higher court is now deciding whether he should face the lesser charge of insulting a leader. 

The reporter achieved global notoriety by his actions, which were celebrated by thousands in the Arab world. More...

Gaza: after Dubai, Egypt too cancels New Year celebrations...

Egypt has cancelled official New Year's Eve events in solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinians being "massacred" in Gaza, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily reports.
   
"In solidarity with the painful events in the Palestinian territories and the massacres which Gazans are faced with ... the ministries of culture and information have decided to cancel New Year's festivities," the paper said on Wednesday.   

Cancelled events include a special concert by famed Egyptian singer Mohammed Munir set to be held at Cairo's Opera House and a variety performance hosted by the ministry of information due to be broadcast on state television. More...

Israel's onslaught on Gaza is a crime that cannot succeed...

Israel's decision to launch its devastating attack on Gaza on a Saturday was a "stroke of brilliance", the country's biggest selling paper Yediot Aharonot crowed: "the element of surprise increased the number of people who were killed". The daily Ma'ariv agreed: "We left them in shock and awe". 

Of the ferocity of the assault on one of the most overcrowded and destitute corners of the earth, there is at least no question. In the bloodiest onslaught on blockaded Gaza since it was captured and occupied by Israel 41 years ago, at least 310 people were killed and more than a thousand reported injured in the first 48 hours alone.

Facebook critiqué pour avoir retiré des photos d'allaitement...


Le site de socialisation Facebook est en butte aux critiques d'internautes qui lui reprochent d'avoir retiré de ses pages des photos d'allaitement de peur qu'elles ne soient jugées trop osées.

Un forum s'est constitué, intitulé "Hé, Facebook, ce n'est pas obscène d'allaiter!" ("Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!"), et qui mardi réunissait déjà 85.000 utilisateurs. 

Une poigné de mères avaient aussi organisé samedi un allaitement en public devant le siège californien de Facebook, selon le journal local Palo Alto Daily News, tandis que plus de 11.000 personnes participaient à une "manifestation virtuelle", baptisée Campagne internationale des mères pour la lactation.

Gaza: Israel backed by army of cyber-soldiers...

Israel’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda. The Foreign Ministry has ordered trainee diplomats to track websites and chatrooms so that networks of US and European groups with hundreds of thousands of Jewish activists can place supportive messages. 

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate. More...

Gaza: all hotels in Dubai told to cancel New Year celebrations...

All hotels in Dubai have been told to cancel New Year celebrations, following an order issued by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Tuesday, Gulf News has learnt. 

Shaikh Mohammad has ordered the cancellation of all forms of celebrations marking the New Year in Dubai, as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people. 

In support of the Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring all kinds of killing, destruction and displacement by the Israeli military machinery, Shaikh Mohammad instructed all concerned authorities in Dubai to put this order in place and take necessary procedures to circulate the decision to all concerned parties.

As the world looks at Gaza,India and Pakistan moving troops to common border. Don't these guys just love messing around...

 Pakistan said Tuesday that India had moved troops toward their shared border, following Islamabad's own redeployment of forces toward the frontier amid tensions over the Mumbai attacks.

But India's foreign minister insisted it had done nothing to escalate tensions in the region, while another Indian official denied a separate Pakistani allegation that New Delhi had activated forward air bases.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi made the claims in a televised address that included overtures toward India to resume peace talks between the nuclear-armed neighbors, who have already fought three wars in the past six decades. More...

Gaza attacks: Five sisters killed in their sleep...

The five Palestinian sisters were fast asleep when a night-time Israeli airstrike hit the next-door mosque in Gaza. One of the walls collapsed on to their small asbestos-roofed home and they were all killed in their beds. The eldest sister, Tahrir, was 17 years old, the youngest, Jawaher, just four. 

"They grow up day after day and night after night. Within a second, I have lost them," the girls' father, Anwar Balousha, said yesterday. The 37-year-old, along with another three of his children, was himself injured in the attack on the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp. More...

Sicily: chapel in a supermarket! You can now shop and pray at the same time!!!

Praying and attending Mass while doing your shopping is now possible in a shopping centre near Messina in Sicily, in the south of Italy, where a chapel was inaugurated on Tuesday inside a supermarket, according to the Ansa agency. 

Constructed inside a supermarket in a shopping centre in Tremestieri, near Messina, the chapel was blessed on Tuesday by the local priest.

It allows customers to enjoy a moment of retreat and silence, even in a shopping centre. The aim is to conciliate faith with man’s daily life, said Father Giuseppe Lonia, according to Ansa.

An official from the shopping centre, Maurizio Andronico, asserted that the chapel will be open to customers and workers and that Mass will be celebrated in it. 

This is the first initiative of its kind in Italy, a country with a strong Catholic tradition, said the same source.

France:encore un suicide en prison, le 107ème cette année…

Un détenu d'une cinquantaine d'années s'est suicidé dans la journée de dimanche dans sa cellule de la maison d'arrêt de Sequedin (Nord), près de Lille, a-t-on appris aujourd'hui auprès du parquet.

L'homme, en détention provisoire, s'est étouffé à l'aide d'un sac en plastique, a-t-on ajouté de même source.

"Il a été découvert à mi-journée et les interventions pour essayer de le réanimer ont toutes échoué", a précisé le parquet de Lille.

La mort du détenu de Sequedin porterait à 107 le nombre de suicides dans les prisons françaises depuis le début de l'année.

Sicile : Une chapelle dans un supermarché!!! Du shopping et de la prière…

Prier et assister à la messe tout en faisant ses courses est désormais possible dans un centre commercial situé près de Messine en Sicile, dans le sud de l'Italie, où une chapelle a été inaugurée mardi à l'intérieur d'un supermarché, a rapporté l'agence Ansa.

Construite à l'intérieur du supermarché du centre commercial de Tremestieri, près de Messine, la chapelle a été bénie mardi par le curé de la localité.

"Elle permettra aux clients de bénéficier d'un moment de recueillement et de silence, même dans le centre commercial. Le but est de concilier la foi et la vie quotidienne de l'homme", a expliqué le père Giuseppe Lonia, cité par l'Ansa.

Un responsable du centre commercial, Maurizio Andronico, a affirmé que la chapelle sera ouverte aux clients et aux employés et que des messes y seront célébrées.

Il s'agit de la première initiative du genre en Italie, pays à forte tradition catholique, selon la même source.

Nepal: maoists doing away with Indian temple priests?

One of the most famous sites in Hinduism, the Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal, has experienced a significant break with tradition. 

Its prayers always used to be led by high caste, Brahmin priests recruited from south India. 

But now they have been replaced by local priests - ending centuries of tradition and long-held rituals. 

The development can be seen as a reflection of wider changes that have swept Nepal over the past year. More...

Japanese dude living at Mexico City airport disappears...

A Japanese man who had been living in the Mexican capital's airport since Sept. 2 — for no apparent reason — left under equally mysterious circumstances.

Authorities searched Terminal 1 of the Benito Juarez International Airport for Hiroshi Nohara on Monday but he was nowhere to be found, said an airport official who was not allowed to be quoted by name.

The daily Reforma newspaper ran photos of the scruffy man getting into a cab Sunday at the airport.

Nohara's three-month residency at the airport made him a local celebrity whose life drew comparisons to that of Viktor Navorski, a character portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2004 movie "The Terminal." More...

The number of journalists, bloggers and media workers killed because of their work fell to 62 this year from 106 in 2007, the media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders says.

But the group said on Tuesday the fall in fatalities was not grounds for optimism over media freedom since in many areas the decrease showed only that violent repression had forced reporters to abandon their jobs.

The body also warned that state censorship was spreading to the internet. More...

Professor's prediction about U.S. demise in 2010 seduces Russian media...

For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media.

In recent weeks, he's been interviewed as much as twice a day about his predictions. "It's a record," says Prof. Panarin. "But I think the attention is going to grow even stronger."

Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations. More...

Soccer: fastest red card ever... after 3 seconds!!!

A player with English minor league club Chippenham Town has set a record for the fastest-red card in senior soccer when he was sent off for a wild tackle three seconds after kickoff, British media reported on Tuesday.

Striker David Pratt, 21, was dismissed in a Southern Premier League game against Bashley on Sunday.

The previous fastest sending-off is generally accepted to be 10 seconds for Bologna's Giuseppe Lorenzo after he struck an opponent in a 1990 Italian league game.

English soccer's previous "best" was 13 seconds when Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kevin Pressman handled outside his box in a game in 2000.

Also in 2000 an English amateur player, Lee Todd, was sent off after two seconds when he responded to the referee's whistle to start the game by saying "xxxx me, that was loud" and was dismissed for foul and abusive language.

Gaza: Obama’s silence on Israeli airstrikes disappoints many, but what did they expect? Change?

President–elect Barack Obama blew the first opportunity that had come his way to show that unlike his predecessors, he was going to adopt a more even-handed approach to the Palestine question by choosing to keep quiet after savage Israeli airstrikes across Gaza.

Obama who was expected by people in Arab and Muslim countries to turn his back on earlier American administrations that have supported Israel, right or wrong, could only have caused widespread disappointment among those who were hopeful that he would be different. If his first reaction to the Israeli outrage is any indication, it is clear that he is going to be as enthusiastic in his support of Israel as his predecessors. More...

Gaza massacre: 345 people killed, more than 1600 wounded...

Israel launched airstrikes on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day on Monday, leaving 345 people dead over three days and more than 1,600 wounded, according to Palestinian rescue workers. 

In New York, the U.N. Security Council issued a statement Saturday and Sunday, calling for an immediate halt to all violence between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group which rules the Gaza Strip. 

But the conflict is unlikely to end in the immediate future, given a no commitment by the United States, the only country capable of exerting influence on Israel. 

Hamas has pledged revenge including suicide bomb attacks in the "cafes and streets" of Israel. 

Israel said the strikes were in response to almost daily rocket and mortar fire by Gaza militants, which intensified after Hamas ended the six-month cease-fire a week ago.

French comic Dieudonné and Robert Faurisson...

The black French comedian Dieudonné provoked outrage at the weekend by giving a "heroism" award to a veteran Holocaust denier. 

Dieudonné, who is known for making anti-Semitic remarks in his shows, handed the spoof award for "social unacceptability and insolence" to Robert Faurisson, an academic with a string of convictions for denying the existence of Nazi death camps in the Second World War. More...

Le capitaine de l'équipe de football de Liverpool Steven Gerrard a été arrêté tôt lundi après une bagarre à Southport (nord-ouest de l'Angleterre), ont indiqué des sources policières. 

Le milieu de terrain de l'équipe d'Angleterre a été placé en garde à vue après une intervention policière lors d'une bagarre à Southport vers 3H30 (2h30 heure locale) du matin. 

Le joueur de 28 ans a été interpellé avec cinq autres hommes pour agression présumée. Un homme de 34 ans originaire de Southport, au nord de Liverpool, a été hospitalisé avec des blessures au visage, selon la police. 

Steven Gerrard avait marqué deux buts dimanche à l'occasion de la victoire (5-1) à Newcastle de Liverpool qui est actuellement en tête du championnat d'Angleterre.

Harold Pinter, the militant who wasn't afraid...


As we mourn the passing of one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century, let's not forget that the field of human rights has also lost a great defender of freedom of expression. During my time at PEN, Harold Pinter proved indispensable in helping to raise the profile of numerous, lesser well-known, writers in trouble for their work. He never let them down. 

Much has been made about Pinter's refusal to tolerate bullying at school. He also took on many of the world's tyrants – however big or small – defending the rights of writers, journalists and human rights activists around the globe by lending his name or wielding his pen.  More...

Today I end my support of Israel...

Like davidminzer, I'm Jewish and descendant of holocaust survivors. Moreover, I've been a Zionist all of my life. I went to a Zionist school, I was active in Zionist youth groups. I've always been a fervent supporter of Israel as a refuge for Jews around the world who seek a place to exercise their traditions and embrace their identity in peace.

I sang the Israeli anthem in the train rails of Aushwitz-Birkenau and I pledged to fight every day of my life to make sure the savage crimes that had taken place there would never happen again. Every year I pledged: Never Again. Remember and Never forget.

Well, I haven't forgotten. And so to honor that pledge, to honor the memory of my family members who died in those death camps and because "there comes a time when silence is betrayal", today I finally and publicly end my support for the state of Israel.  More...

The Roma in Europe targets of rising racist attacks...

The collapse of social rights in post-communist central-eastern Europe has been most harsh on the Roma, a minority that is believed to have migrated to Europe from India since the 14th century. 

While anti-Roma prejudices are strong in Central Europe, so far no political force has managed to garner support by rallying the population against them. But extremists now see a window of opportunity in mobilising anti-gypsy feelings. 

"The gypsy theme doesn't create political divisions, it's an everyday thing for people on the left or right, and they (extremists) are trying to use this to gain some power outside of politics," Hungarian anthropologist Gergo Pulay told IPS. More...

Britain: young Asian girls and forced marriages...

As pupils are regularly disappearing from schools, an organization is rescuing British girls as young as nine from forced marriages.

Jasvinder Sanghera, who founded Karma Nirvana to help such victims, is campaigning to help young girls escape forced marriage.

While no accurate figures exist to show how many children are affected in the UK, schools are seeing many pupils regularly disappearing, as many of them are prisoner in their own homes before being flown abroad and forced to marry. More...

Uganda: Lord's Resistance Army accused of massacre in church...

Attackers wielding machetes hacked to death dozens of people at a church in remote eastern Congo, witnesses said Monday, and the Ugandan army accused the Lord's Resistance Army rebels of the massacre.

A European aid worker said more than 100 people are reported to have been killed in the attack the day after Christmas and that the Congolese military put the number dead at 120 to 150.
The accused Ugandan rebel group, which has waged one of Africa's longest and most brutal wars, denied responsibility. Spokesman David Matsanga said the Lord's Resistance Army had no fighters in the area and he accused Uganda's army of the killings. Full story...

We've got so used to the carnage of the Middle East that we don't care any more – providing we don't offend the Israelis. It's not clear how many of the Gaza dead are civilians, but the response of the Bush administration, not to mention the pusillanimous reaction of Gordon Brown, reaffirm for Arabs what they have known for decades: however they struggle against their antagonists, the West will take Israel's side. As usual, the bloodbath was the fault of the Arabs – who, as we all know, only understand force. More...

Gaza: Israël poursuit son offensive - au moins 307 morts...

Israël a poursuivi son offensive sur la bande de Gaza dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi. Les raids aériens menés par Tsahal depuis samedi ont fait 307 morts, pour plus de la moitié des membres des forces de sécurité du Hamas, selon des sources palestiniennes.

L'Etat hébreu a déployé dimanche des blindés le long de la frontière avec le territoire côtier et a rappelé 6500 réservistes. Cela pourrait annoncer une intervention terrestre bien que la ministre des affaires étrangères Tzipi Livni ait affirmé sur la chaîne américaine NBC que "l'objectif n'(était) pas de réoccuper Gaza.

Arabie Saoudite: à 8 ans, on lui refuse le divorce...

A l’heure où les enfants de son âge songent aux cadeaux de Noël, un tribunal saoudien refuse de prononcer le divorce d’une fillette de huit ans mariée par son père à un adulte de 58 ans.

Au tribunal de Unayzah, à 220 kilomètres au nord de Ryad, où l’affaire a été jugée samedi, le juge a expliqué qu’elle devait d’abord atteindre « la puberté » pour effectuer, elle-même, la demande de divorce. Car, cette demande a été déposée par la mère de la fillette, juste après que l’acte de mariage eut été signé par le père. Les parents sont eux-mêmes divorcés. Suite...

La belle histoire d'amour de Herman Rosenblat durant l'Holocauste ? Un pur mensonge...

Le livre racontant l'histoire d'amour entre un prisonnier de camp de concentration et une jeune Polonaise qui lui apportait des pommes pour soulager sa peine, Angel at the Fence ne paraîtra pas. Alors que Berkley's Book, une division de Penguin devait prendre la responsabilité de cette parution, l'agent de l'auteur Herman Rosenblat a contacté la maison et apporté de nouveaux éléments qui incitent à ne pas assurer cette publication.

Le magazine The New Republic avait été à la base de toute cette défiance, en enquêtant sur ce qui était ou non crédible dans cette histoire, présentée comme authentique. Suite...

Are Pakistani students brain-washed into hating India?

The empowerment of terror in Pakistan has not happened overnight. This is the logical culmination of the politics and policies pursued by Pakistan for years now.

Terrorism in Pakistan has its roots in the culture of hate and the ethos of inequality on the ground of religious faith, leading to their being deeply ingrained in the Pakistani psyche and mindset. 

One factor that has played a crucial role in creating this culture of hate is the educational policy of the government of Pakistan pursued since 1977. The officially prescribed textbooks, especially for school students, are full of references that promote hate against India in general, and Hindus in particular. More...

Pakistan: Taliban set to ban girls from schools...

The future of around 40,000 girls in Swat is at stake following a Taliban ban on education for female students. 

Shah Duran, the deputy of Swat-based Taliban cleric Fazlullah, has warned the administrations of government and private educational institutions to not enrol girls in schools. 

The Taliban on Wednesday issued a deadline for January 15 for the ban to be implemented, following which they said they would bomb the buildings of schools allowing girls to study. 

The Taliban have blown up more than 100 girls’ schools in Swat in the past 14 months. More...

The horrifying act drew shocked gasps from the public and media persons gathered, but not as much as a whimper from the baby. She appeared fine.

Brazil: couple condemned for homeschooling their kids!!! WTF!

Cleber and Bernadeth Nunes from Timóteo, a city 196 km (122 miles) from Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state, have been convicted by a second civil court in Brazil for homeschooling their children, despite passing government-imposed tests that teachers admitted they could not pass themselves. 

The three judge panel in the court of second instance refused even to examine the test results, which give a passing grade to both of their sons, Jonatas and Davi de Andrade Nunes Amorim, 14 and 15, for a series of highly rigorous tests on a variety of subjects, including mathematics, geography, science, history, Portuguese, English, arts, and physical education.

(...)

Despite national assessments showing abysmal results from the Brazilian public education system, one of the three judges claimed in his written verdict that "the quality of our education is undeniable. If we compare ourselves, for example, average Brazilian citizens with average North American citizens, the conclusion is devastating. North Americans know little...in comparison to Brazilians. Our schooling is, to the contrary, very good in comparison to other countries." Full story...

U2's Larry Mullen Jr. blasts Bush, Blair and Bono...

U2 drummer LARRY MULLEN JR. has risked incurring the wrath of frontman BONO - he has reportedly blasted the singer for cosying up to world leaders.

The rocker launched a tirade against former Prime Minister Tony Blair and outgoing U.S. president George W. Bush, branding them "war criminals". 

And he is said to have admitted it makes him "cringe" when he sees singer Bono associating with the pair.

In an interview with British music magazine Q, Mullen is quoted as saying: "Tony Blair is a war criminal and I think he should be tried as a war criminal. Then I see Bono and him as pals and I'm going, 'I don't like that'. 

"Do I think George Bush is a war criminal? Probably - but the difference between him and Tony Blair is that Blair is intelligent. So he has no excuse for what he did." 

Although Mullen admits Bono is "prepared to use his weight as a celebrity, at great cost to himself and his family, to help other people", he adds: "But as an outsider looking in, I cringe."

Massacre de Gaza : qui arrêtera Israël ?

L’armée israélienne a attaqué Gaza cette nuit avec des moyens militaires énormes. Le premier bilan fait état de 150 morts, civils pour la plupart. Ce massacre était annoncé, envisagé et commenté ces derniers jours dans la presse israélienne, après la fin de la trêve respectée par le Hamas et rompue sans arrêt par l’armée israélienne. Ce crime a été rendu possible par l’impunité totale accordée à Israël depuis bientôt 9 ans et le soutien actif dont il bénéficie au sein de l’Union Européenne. Il est le résultat direct du «rehaussement de la coopération avec l’UE» imposée par la présidence française contre le vote de report du Parlement Européen.

(-)

L’Union Juive Française pour la Paix dénonce le crime qui se déroule contre la population de Gaza. Elle appelle à manifester partout contre cette nouvelle agression. L’UJFP exige une réaction immédiate du gouvernement français, de la Communauté Européenne et de l’ONU pour faire cesser l’agression et pour mettre un terme au blocus de Gaza.  Article complet...
