Levons-nous ensemble pour Rafah | Le Devoir
▻https://www.ledevoir.com/opinion/idees/812764/idees-levons-nous-ensemble-rafah
Ce qui se passe cette semaine dans la bande de Gaza, même si c’est noyé dans le paysage désormais habituel de cette guerre, n’est vraiment pas banal. La semaine dernière, le Hamas a accepté la proposition de cessez-le-feu proposée par l’Égypte et le Qatar. Pas Israël. Le jour même, les forces armées israéliennes sont plutôt entrées dans la ville de Rafah. Elles ont aussitôt bloqué le seul point d’entrée et de sortie de la bande de Gaza pour l’assistance humanitaire. Un immense mouvement de population, qui ne représente toutefois qu’une fraction des personnes s’étant réfugiées à Rafah depuis des mois, s’est alors mis en branle pour la fuir. Même s’il n’y a littéralement nulle part où aller.
Gaza polarise. « C’est délicat », « c’est complexe », on n’ose pas. Mais il faut aujourd’hui avoir le courage. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’être pro-Israël ou pro-Palestine et de camper sur nos positions respectives. Celles et ceux qui survivent actuellement à Gaza, ceux et celles qui sont morts aussi, sont des personnes, des êtres humains.
Nous avons décidé, comme humanité, notamment par le biais du droit international, que de tels massacres n’étaient pas permis, que la famine comme arme de guerre était inadmissible, que la destruction de tout et de toutes n’était pas un moyen légal de se faire la guerre, que personne, pas même un État souverain, ne pouvait vider et raser un territoire. Nous nous sommes mordu les doigts pour les massacres coloniaux, l’Holocauste, le génocide au Rwanda. Nous nous sommes levés pour dénoncer la torture à Guantánamo et les crimes de guerre en Syrie et en Ukraine.
Ce qui se passe à Gaza, et la façon dont ça se passe depuis des mois, n’est pas acceptable. Nonobstant le Hamas, nonobstant les attaques du 7 octobre : parce que ce n’est pas comme ça qu’on fait la justice ni la paix. Même les guerres ont des règles, même les États doivent les respecter, et les humains restent des humains, dont la vie et la dignité doivent être protégées. Levons-nous, élevons notre humanité pour l’affirmer ensemble, au-delà des divisions politiques. Soyons les vigiles que nous nous devons d’être, ayons aujourd’hui le courage de regarder Gaza, ses enfants, ses femmes et ses hommes, et d’affirmer bien haut que ce n’est pas la tournure que nous voulons donner à l’histoire.

NEW: Our analysis of reported data identifies at least 80 separate attacks by Israel on aid in Gaza since January. The frequency and widespread nature of these attacks suggests that Israel is systematically targeting aid.

Joe Biden has done more than arm Israel. He’s complicit in Gaza’s devastating famine | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/gaza-famine-biden-israel-hamas-b2542961.html
Extrait d’un long et important article dans lequel des fonctionnaires US de l’USAID déclarent (anonymement) que l’administration Biden a sciemment contribué à affamer la population de Gaza.
By December, the two international institutions used by governments around the world to determine when famine is occurring – the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network – had come to the same conclusion: famine was imminent, and threatened more than one million people.
Mr Konyndyk, who led USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance for three years, said those warnings should have compelled the White House to act urgently. If the same conditions were appearing in most other countries in the world, he said, it would have. But the US had stubbornly refused to do anything that would hamper Israel’s war effort.
“When the warnings start signalling that risk, there should be a forceful reaction, both on the relief aid front and on the diplomatic front,” he said. “Nothing about the Biden administration’s response to the December famine forecast demonstrated that kind of hard pivot toward famine prevention.”
What followed was a pattern of defence, deflection and outright denial from the White House.
Under questioning from The Independent, Biden administration spokespersons have routinely highlighted Mr Biden’s repeated requests for the Israeli government to open up more crossings to aid, and pointed to temporary increases in aid trucks entering Gaza as proof of what they describe as his effectiveness.
What was left unsaid by those Biden aides was the fact that those piecemeal influxes of aid were not consummate to the scale of the crisis. Hunger continued to spread, and still the White House refused to use its leverage by threatening to condition military aid.
Nothing about the Biden administration’s response to the first famine report demonstrated that kind of hard pivot toward famine prevention
Jeremy Konyndyk, former director of USAID’s Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance
“Behind the scenes, my impression is that the Biden administration was pushing Israel to resume opening crossings to aid. But it was this posture of pretty extensive deference to how Israel was choosing to fight the war, while continuing to supply it with arms and not putting any real conditions on that,” Mr Konyndyk said.
A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said: “Since the beginning of this conflict, president Biden has been leading efforts to get humanitarian aid into Gaza to alleviate the suffering of innocent Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas.”
“Before the president’s engagement, there was no food, water, or medicine getting into Gaza. The United States is the largest provider of aid to the Gaza response. This is and will continue to be a top priority to address dire conditions on the ground since much more aid is needed,” the spokesperson added.
Inside USAID, career civil servants with extensive experience were horrified by the lack of urgency from their politically appointed leaders.
Internal USAID documents seen by The Independent showed that staff were passing their concerns about the lack of action up the chain to USAID administrator Samantha Power and other senior leaders in the form of letters and internal dissent memos, often to no avail.
“What was surprising to me, and deeply disappointing, was the fact that we were hearing nothing about imminent famine in Gaza,” said a USAID staffer, who asked to remain anonymous because they are still employed by the agency.

Dissent memos – a kind of sanctioned internal protest through a dedicated channel for offering critical feedback on policy – are relatively rare in USAID compared with the state department. However, the USAID staff member said they were aware of at least 19 memoranda being sent in objection to the lack of action by the agency – and the government – over the looming famine.
Mr Konyndyk described it as “an extraordinary number,” and noted that he didn’t recall encountering a single dissent memo at USAID during his more than five years there under Mr Obama and Mr Biden.
By mid-January, aid agencies on the ground in Gaza were issuing desperate pleas for a humanitarian ceasefire so that food supplies could be delivered. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that 378,000 people in Gaza were facing catastrophic levels of hunger, and all 2.2 million people in Gaza were facing acute food insecurity.

“This is a population that is starving to death, this is a population that is being pushed to the brink,” the World Health Organisation’s emergencies director Michael Ryan said at a press conference on 31 January.
The same day Mr Ryan described Gaza’s grim outlook, White House national security communications adviser John Kirby defended the Biden administration’s decision to suspend aid to UNRWA. Mr Kirby denied that cutting off assistance to the UN entity with the largest footprint in Gaza would have a detrimental effect on the humanitarian situation there, and instead claimed that the US was “working so hard to get more [humanitarian] assistance into the people of Gaza”.
Even at this point, the White House was focused on giving Israel everything it needed to win its war against Hamas.
UNRWA loses ability to function
Hunger spread rapidly over the next month as the war raged on. On 27 February, three senior United Nations officials told a security council that at least 576,000 people were now “one step away from famine”.
“Unfortunately, as grim as the picture we see today is, there is every possibility for further deterioration,” Ramesh Rajasingham, director of UN’s OCHA, told the chamber.
In one of the most deadly massacres of the conflict, dozens of Palestinians desperately trying to access supplies were killed after Israeli troops fired on a crowd collecting flour from aid trucks on 29 February near Gaza City. The Israeli army initially blamed a stampede for the chaos, but in a later review claimed that Israeli forces “did not fire at the humanitarian convoy, but did fire at a number of suspects who approached the nearby forces and posed a threat to them.”
“During the course of the looting, incidents of significant harm to civilians occurred from the stampede and people being run over by the trucks,” the Israeli army review added. More than 100 Palestinians were killed trying to access aid that day.
Before the war, UNRWA, the largest UN agency working in Gaza, provided and distributed the basic necessities for people to survive in the blockaded territory, such as food, medicine and fuel. The US was by far the largest donor to UNRWA, contributing nearly half the agency’s yearly operating budget.

But the US suspended that funding following allegations by Israel that some 12 UNRWA employees were involved in the 7 October attack and around 10 per cent of its staff had ties to militants. (An independent review led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna later found that Israel has yet to provide any supporting evidence of these claims.)
By the end of February, UNRWA said Israel had effectively banned it from entering the north of Gaza.
At least 188 of its staff had been killed since the beginning of the war, more than 150 of its facilities were hit – among them many schools – and more than 400 people were killed “while seeking shelter under the UN flag”, the organisation said.

🧵Chajka Klinger was a member of Ha-Shomer ha-Za’ir & resistance leader against th Nazis. Her book A Diary frm th Ghetto was published posthumously (1959), heavily edited & censored due to Klingers criticism of th Zionist Zaglembian Judenrat & the Jewish leadership in Palestine
After being captured and tortured she fled to Palestine 1943.She gave talks throughout Palestine heavily criticising Zionist leadership as collaborators. On April 18, 1958, just before the fifteenth anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Klinger committed suicide.
Excerpt from her speech to members of th Yishuv in th book by Dan Porat Bitter Reckoning: Israel Tries Holocaust Survivors as Nazi Collaborators
"One thing must be determined: The Various jewish communities (in Europe) were headed by members of the Zionist Movement, & most of them understood that if (the Nazis) said A, they would carry on and do B, And after they began assisting the Germans in collecting gold and furniture from Jewish homes they had no choice but to go on to help prepare lists of Jews for labor camps….
And precisely because those who stood at the head of most of the communities were Zionists, the psychological effect on the Jewish Masses vis a vis the Zionist idea was devastating, and the hatred toward Zionism grew day by day…One bright day we will need to try these people
We should not keep silent. it must be said clearly and publicly that many Zionists betrayed (their people)…Yes, one must judge Haim Molchadsky, the head of the Jewish National Fund in Bedzin and later the head of the community, and the same is true to many more”
#Niger: les menaces de Washington ont causé la fin des accords militaires, selon le Premier ministre
▻https://www.rfi.fr/fr/afrique/20240515-niger-les-menaces-de-washington-ont-caus%C3%A9-la-fin-des-accords-milit
L’attitude de la délégation américaine à Niamey en mars était « inacceptable », pour Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine. Selon le Premier ministre nigérien, cité par le Washington Post, les autorités de Niamey ont pris ombrage des remarques de Molly Phee. La secrétaire d’État adjointe aux affaires africaines a notamment menacé le Niger de sanctions, explique-t-il, en cas d’accord pour vendre de l’uranium à l’Iran.
« Lorsqu’elle a terminé, j’ai dit : "Madame, je vais résumer en deux points ce que vous avez dit. Premièrement, vous êtes venus ici pour nous menacer dans notre pays. C’est inacceptable. Vous nous dites avec qui nous pouvons avoir des relations, et vous le faites sur un ton condescendant" », a raconté Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine, qui a mené les négociations avec les États-Unis. Il a également précisé que rien n’a été signé avec Téhéran.
Le Premier ministre nigérien reproche aussi aux Américains, qui ont suspendu leur coopération militaire après le coup d’État, d’être « restés sur le sol » nigérien « sans rien faire quand les terroristes tuaient les personnes et brûlaient les villes ».
Pourtant, indique-t-il, d’autres nations - comme la Russie, la Turquie ou les Émirats arabes unis - ont accueilli les nouveaux dirigeants nigériens à « bras ouverts ».
Selon le quotidien américain, Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine se dit prêt à poursuivre les relations économiques et diplomatiques avec les États-Unis. En conclusion, le quotidien cite son appel : « Si des investisseurs américains arrivaient, nous leur donnerions ce qu’ils veulent, a-t-il raconté aux représentants du Département des affaires étrangères. Nous avons de l’uranium, nous avons du pétrole, nous avons du lithium. Venez, investissez, c’est tout ce que nous voulons. »

As Israeli forces advance into Rafah’s densely populated centre, bombing indiscriminately and targeting what little aid/medical infrastructure remains in Gaza, they are forcing the ~1.5m civilians in Rafah into a ‘humanitarian zone’ with no functioning medical infrastructure.

Ce scrutin est réservé depuis plusieurs années aux personnes disposant de la citoyenneté calédonienne selon certaines conditions. Une décision prise à l’époque dans le cadre du processus de décolonisation afin d’atténuer le poids du peuplement et de permettre aux Kanaks de peser dans les décisions politiques. Mais qui « n’est plus conforme aux principes de la démocratie », selon Gérald Darmanin, qui est allé jusqu’à évoquer lundi soir une « obligation morale pour ceux qui croient en la démocratie ».
Remplacez « la démocratie » par « le colonialisme » et pouf, tout s’éclaire. La magie macroniste…
Ah purin, je l’avait ratée, celle là : « Rien ne prédispose La France insoumise à menacer des familles et des enfants, partout dans le territoire national, y compris en Nouvelle-Calédonie ! »
Parce que, bien sûr, Darmanin ne menace pas les familles et les enfants des militants de soulèvements de la terre, exemple pris totalement au hasard, comme le sien.
On est vraiment sous le règne du dégueulis en ce moment.
Parlant d’un « pays qui est en train de replonger quarante ans en arrière dans les pires heures de son histoire », l’élu a appelé la représentation nationale à la prudence. Or c’est précisément ce qui manque à l’exécutif depuis décembre 2021, date à laquelle le président de la République avait exigé le maintien du troisième référendum, pourtant boycotté par les indépendantistes. Le processus de décolonisation, dentelle patiemment tissée depuis 1988, s’était ainsi conclu en l’absence du peuple colonisé. Une aberration politique et un calcul dangereux.
S’il arrive à démarrer une guerre civile, il sera toujours irresponsable, le prepotent ?
Il pourra invoquer l’article 16 de la Constitution.
De passage à Paris il y a quelques semaines, le maire de Houaïlou Pascal Sawa, premier secrétaire général adjoint de l’Union calédonienne (UC) et membre du bureau du FLNKS, confiait à Mediapart la nécessité impérieuse de « remettre du lien et de la confiance » entre les différents partenaires. « On est d’accord pour ouvrir le corps électoral, mais il faudrait analyser les choses de façon plus fine pour éviter le déséquilibre, insistait-il. Contrairement à ce qui est dit, nous sommes conscients des enjeux. Nous considérons simplement qu’ils doivent s’inscrire dans un accord global. »
Même le choix de Nicolas Metzdorf comme rapporteur du texte pose question. Pour l’ex-rapporteur du statut de la Nouvelle-Calédonie René Dosière, le rapport signé par le député Renaissance « fait honte à l’Assemblée nationale et ne peut que renforcer la colère des Kanaks et de tous les artisans de paix ». C’est « un brûlot anti-indépendantiste qui réécrit à sa manière l’histoire politique récente », affirme-t-il sur son blog. Lundi soir, à l’Assemblée, Nicolas Metzdorf s’offusquait d’ailleurs au moindre rappel historique, faisant mine de penser que ses adversaires « hiérarchisent les populations ».
L’élu a également attaqué les bancs de la gauche, accusant les élu·es de la Nupes de « soutenir les indépendantistes les plus radicaux » au détriment des forces de l’ordre – un refrain également entonné par le ministre de l’intérieur, comme si quelqu’un pouvait se réjouir que les armes soient de nouveau sorties dans l’archipel. Sur place, la situation n’est évidemment pas aussi binaire que voudraient le faire croire ceux qui pensent que les responsabilités ne pèsent jamais sur leurs épaules. Les appels au calme se sont d’ailleurs multipliés, lancé notamment par le président indépendantiste du gouvernement calédonien Louis Mapou.

Une fois de plus, appeler à la paix et à la négociation est vu comme un acte de sédition par les élites dominantes. Mais qu’est-ce qui arrêtera la Macronie dans ses entreprises de désinformations et de travestissements de l’Histoire ? Les places financières peut-être ?

Son contenu contribue à diminuer l’image de l’Assemblée nationale car il transforme la rigueur et l’autorité habituelles de ce type de document en une brochure électorale de son parti politique (les loyalistes, appellation locale des non-indépendantistes).
La nomination sur ce sujet sensible d’un rapporteur partisan, contrairement à la jurisprudence parlementaire, était pour le moins inopportune et maladroite compte tenu des réactions violentes que suscite ce projet de loi en Nouvelle Calédonie. Le résultat est pire : un brûlot anti-indépendantiste qui réécrit à sa manière l’histoire politique récente.

International Criminal Court’s chief Prosecutor faces fiery criticism at UN Security Council – Middle East Monitor
▻https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240514-international-criminal-courts-chief-prosecutor-faces-fie
S’énerverait-on un peu aux Nations unies ?
The chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Asad Ahmad Khan, faced strong criticism from UN Security Council members on Tuesday for not issuing arrest warrants for those responsible for massacres in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.
Denouncing Khan for not issuing the warrants, Libyan envoy, Taher M. El-Sonni said, “The world wants you to discover those involved in the mass graves, mass crimes against children, the genocide, the ethnic cleansing perpetrated in the ‘holocaust’ of the 21st century, the Gaza holocaust.”
(...)
“What are you waiting for Mr. Khan?” El-Sonni asked. He asked if Khan saw the risk of a massacre in Rafah.
The Libyan envoy indicated that the ICC is facing a major test, saying the Court can now show whether it has become “politicised or independent and neutral”.
“Because its independence has always been called into question and now it is actually at stake,” he added.
Nacim Gaouaoui, Algeria’s deputy ambassador, stated that his country rejects pressures exerted by “certain countries and powers” on ICC officials.
He emphasised the importance of the rule of law prevailing.
“We also hope that the assistance provided by the members of the Council to the work of the ICC will also cover other issues in light of the threats that the Court faces during its engagement into cases relating to crimes related to the Israeli occupation,” he said.
Gaouaoui stressed the expectation that the ICC would take a “serious approach” to the situation in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, saying, “This is necessary in order for the ICC to demonstrate that it is not a tool used by some members of the international community to threaten whoever they want, whenever they want. We must emphasise the need to avoid any double standards in this sense.”
Russian ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, drew attention to the fact that the ICC has not taken any action on Palestine since 2015.
He questioned whether there is a connection between the non-action and the US Congress’s call for sanctions if the ICC investigates individuals from the US and allied countries.
Describing the ICC as a “puppet body”, Nebenzia accused the ICC of making unsubstantiated allegations and asked, “Who controls the remote?”
Citing US legislation insisting that the ICC “stand down” on crimes committed in Gaza, Nebenzia argued that the legislation is “evidence” that the judicial body is a “political tool” of the West.

Gaza: Israelis Attacking Known Aid Worker Locations
May 14, 2024 12:00AM EDT | Human Rights Watch
▻https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/14/gaza-israelis-attacking-known-aid-worker-locations
(Jerusalem, May 14, 2024) – Israeli forces have carried out at least eight strikes on aid workers’ convoys and premises in Gaza since October 2023, even though aid groups had provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities to ensure their protection, Human Rights Watch said today. Israeli authorities did not issue advance warnings to any of the aid organizations before the strikes, which killed or injured at least 31 aid workers and those with them. More than 250 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since the October 7 assault in Israel, according to the UN.
One attack on January 18, 2024, injured three people who were staying in a joint guest house belonging to two aid organizations and was most likely carried out with a US-made munition, according to one of the organizations and to a report by UN investigators who visited the site after the attack, which Human Rights Watch reviewed. One of the aid organizations, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), said UN inspectors concluded that the bomb was delivered by an F-16 aircraft. F-16 aircraft use British made components according to campaigners.
The eight incidents reveal fundamental flaws with the so-called deconfliction system, meant to protect aid workers and allow them to safely deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
“Israel’s killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers was shocking and should never have happened under international law,” said Belkis Wille, associate crisis, conflict, and arms director at Human Rights Watch. “Israel’s allies need to recognize that these attacks that have killed aid workers have happened over and over again, and they need to stop.” (...)

After returning from working in Gaza hospitals, and as a witness to war crimes, Professor Ghassan faced hostile press and eventually a travel ban by German authorities.
He was deprived of his freedom of expression and freedom to travel when he was refused entry to France, Netherlands and Germany as he tried to spread the word about the war crimes he witnessed.
Now, with the ban overturned, Ghassan should be able to travel freely around the Schengen area once again.

A thread: Yuval Noah Harari writes: “Nothing in this Zionist idea implies that Jews are superior to others”.
Well, the very notion that political Zionism decided in 1897 to establish a Jewish state on a land that is already occupied is predicated on the assumption that the natives don’t count, and certainly don’t count as much as the Jewish immigrants from Europe.
Zionism is a political movement that believes that Jewish immigrants are entitled to land that is already occupied because Jews are superior to native inhabitants.
In 1917, with the Balfour Declaration (the phrasing is largely by Western Zionists) states that Jews have a political right to a home in Palestine why “the non-Jewish communities” (they were described as such) are only entitled to “civil and religious rights” implies that Jews deserve more rights than the “non-Jewish communities” in Palestine. The notion that a small minority which owned less than 5% of the land in 1919 deserves to establish a state “in Palestine” is a belief that the natives are inferior. But more than that, the concretization of Zionism in the Jewish state that was established entailed so many aspects of recognition (not only by virtue of the declaration of the new state as Jewish) of Jews as superior to Arabs. The recent official Israeli declaration that only Jews deserve self-determination is a mere extension and reflection of the racism embedded in Zionism, from the very inception.

“For anyone who wanted to see, the truth was already abundantly clear in 1955: “They treat the Arabs, those still here, in a way that in itself would be enough to rally the whole world against Israel,” wrote Hannah Arendt.
But that was 1955, barely a decade after the Holocaust – our great catastrophe, and at the same time, Zionism’s protective suit. So no, what Arendt saw in Jerusalem didn’t suffice at the time to rally the world against Israel.

Deuxième épisode de « 4e pouvoir », l’émission vidéo d’Acrimed sur Blast. Et pour voir ou revoir le premier volet (« Israël-Palestine : un naufrage médiatique »), c’est là.
