Le premier magistrat de Deir Ezzour et le chef de la police échangèrent un regard où se lisait une crainte mêlée à des tourments. Devinant leur état d'âme, Habil fit lentement : -A vous de choisir entre une insurrection qui vous feras perdre vos postes ou un état de fait qui fait que la population se prend en charge politiquement et économiquement. Le ton le voulant arrogant le premier magistrat…

AIPAC and the MICC as Mechagodzilla We are witnessing the obliteration of Gaza.

I have spent the last week in Gaza, where I’ve witnessed a dire situation becoming catastrophic. While visiting a shelter in the south, I met a displaced family desperate to find milk for their young baby, whose mother had died, buried under rubble. I met children who were queuing with hundreds of others for one toilet. I met colleagues working heroically to provide assistance in a shelter where they themselves sought refuge. These stories of untold suffering are sadly the norm in Gaza, where 1.8 million people – almost 80 percent of the population – are now homeless and seeking…
