@AMayerthibault Oui.
Je lui souhaite régulièrement de se cogner le petit orteil sur le bord de sa table de nuit.

On ne dirait jamais assez que la personne qui a eu pour la première fois l'idée de basculer les notes de bas de page en fin d'ouvrage mérite une combinaison des différents enfers qui existent dans toutes les religions traditionelles

@npopravka Malheureusement, je fais partie de ces ignares et attardés technologiques qui lisent des pdf sur ordi ou tablette, et pire encore, des livres papiers.

@AMayerthibault Dans un monde normal, c'est un lien hypertexte sur la liseuse, donc je ne vois vraiment pas où est le problème.

@wargonm C'est un sujet à appréhender avec infiniment plus de finesse et de nuance que vous ne le faites ici. Déjà, l'ouverture vers les droites radicales concerne aussi des fractions significatives des Juifs ashkénazes. En France et ailleurs.

Les séfarades sont-ils encore les meilleurs amis des juifs? On peut en douter désormais.😉

@wargonm Et Macron est un suppôt des palestiniens. Personnellement en tant que juif, je voterai Bardella au deuxième tour et Z au premier. Comme la plupart de mes coreligionnaires 😏

@History__Speaks This is an ironically bad example, as Smotrich's paternal family comes from a line which have been there for at least 2 or 3 centuries. Ie precisely those pre-1917 Jews that Palestinian nationalism calls "Palestinian Jews" and who would theoretically be allowed to stay
English
People will tell you with a straight face that you’re a racist if you see Smotrich as a white guy of European descent rather than an indigenous gazan.
Ihab Hassan@IhabHassane
At the inauguration of a new illegal settlement, Israel's Finance Minister Smotrich lays out his vision for a Greater Israel: “There will be expansion in Gaza that will extend our borders. In Lebanon, to the Litani, in Syria, Mount Hermon, parts of the north, south, and east.”

@AbuDaraja We are just seeing the vulgar and brash ways of a provincial American entertainment mogul and showman mixed with early 2000s clash of civilization rethoric and 2020s anti-islamist geopolitical fatigue (ie. "let's get it over with").
English
I tend to agree;
Trump does not want to commit genocide of Iranians, but seems to have grabbed some terminology from the market stalls of people like Douglas Murray, who see modern history - like Islamists do, by the way - as a "civilizational war" between the West and Islam.
Georges Haddad 🇱🇧@Georges__Haddad
The contrarian in me says that no one understood this message. Trump is not calling for the end of the Iranian/Persian civilisation - he clearly states that different minds are prevailing, a revolution is possible, and quote: "God Bless the Great People of Iran." He's talking about the end of the Islamic Iranian civilisation. However, no one knows how he's planning to end it - and not sure he does.
English
@ShMMor @AbuDaraja Fundamentally, this points out to a limit of the specific part American political culture that Trumpism was born out of: experience in managing real estate and reality-TV don't necessarily make for good statesmanship. Corporate and political power are not interchangeable.
English
It does feel like this portends the end of a kind of civilization, but not necessarily in the way intended. Or maybe both ways even.

@BursteinVK @SarraGrira @avriogata L'autrice écrit, mais sans l'assumer, que la SPCJ considererait que "l'expression d'une solidarité avec la Palestine et les Palestiniens relève de facto de l'antisémitisme". Il suffit de lire le rapport de 2024 (le seul publié en entier) pour voir que c'est n'importe quoi :

@CohenJulien Ok, je replonge dedans tout à l'heure pour lire la suite de la loi.
Français
@AMayerthibault Il y a 2 amendements dans cette loi, sur le second les habitants et citoyens d'Israel sont bien concernés sans exception.
Et c'est ce second qui inclu la peine de mort dans le code civil, le premier modifie une loi dans laquelle la peine de mort existait déjà...
Français
Non, le Parlement Israélien a adopté un amendement instaurant la peine de mort pour les auteurs de meurtre avec circonstance aggravante le fait que ce meurtre soit commis avec comme but l'atteinte à l'existence de l'Etat d'Israel, quelle que soit leur nationalité/ethnie.
Restitutor Orientis 🇱🇮@restitutorII
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israël: Le Parlement israélien a adopté une loi instaurant la peine de mort pour les auteurs d’attaques contre Israël commises par des Palestiniens. Le ministre d’extrême droite Itamar Ben-Gvir a tout mis en œuvre pour faire adopter ce texte au sein de la coalition.
Français
@JacobALinker This, IMO, explains a lot of the western vs central/eastern Europe differences, and beyond. But it also points out to the limit of the classic exilic Jewish strategy of just trying to get a Prince's physical protection. Once the Prince sides with the pogromists, its over.
English
@JacobALinker Populations who harbour antisemitic worldviews (or other type of outgroup hostility) but are incapable of behaving violently IRL won't assault Jews. But in some cases, they might try to get state forces (police, army, etc.) to do so
English
The interesting tidbit about the observation that Jews frequently feel more secure in Eastern Europe than in Western Europe is that antisemitic attitudes are more prevalent in Eastern Europe (per a BYU survey).
The difference is about government commitment to public order.
It's the same with respect to the stories you hear of Jews feeling safer in Morocco or the UAE than in Western Europe. The general populations in those countries do typically have more antisemitic attitudes than in Western Europe. But authorities don't tolerate property crime, harassment, yelling at people, etc.
That general publics in western Europe are more sympathetic to Jews and Jewish concerns than in other places is kind of beside the point. The authorities are less willing to crack down on antisocial behavior or conduct generally, so that leads to more issues Jews have to put up with.
It's also why I think the task of "fighting antisemitism" by focusing upon how bad it is to be mean towards Jews as a vulnerable group is largely a waste of time. What you need is law and order. The people who act against the Jews (whether as Jews or in the name of "antizionism") should be tackled as violating basic public decency and engaging in disorderly conduct.

You can publicly combat anti-Zionism and the demonization of the Jewish people and the Jewish state, or you can watch ambulances get blown up and synagogues attacked and Jewish businesses picketed and vandalized. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/we…
English
@Boxy_FT It's a challenge: distant, unpracticing Jews often try to reconnect with the tradition by attending or organizing a Pessah Seder as its the most famous Hag. But it is also possibly the most intellectually challenging and obscure in its rite for entirely secularized individuals
English
@leibowitzadak "A lot of antizionists condemn Hamas violence. It gives them a way to show they're "not the bad guys" without having to engage with the actual problems of the Palestinian national movement".
Two can play this game of projecting cosmic responsability upon the other. No one wins.
English
A lot of Zionists condemn settler violence. It gives them a way to show they're "not the bad guys" without having to engage with the actual problems of Zionism. Like Jim Crowers assuring you they oppose lynching and believe wholeheartedly in separate being equal.
Laila Al-Arian@LailaAlarian
From Batya to Jill, a number of accounts who spent 2 years justifying the Gaza genocide are all of a sudden coming out to condemn settler violence. What’s happening?
English
@HusseinAboubak And vice versa. I've personally seen relatively highly ranked westeners and Israelis (which isn't the same thing) delude themselves by over-estimating or over-trusting the minority Arab/Muslim political actors who tell them what they want to hear.
English
This is a very good breakdown of these feedback dynamics. Addiction to Western oppositional media have been one of the greatest sources of bad calculations in the ME.
Rafi DeMogge רפי דמוג@HeTows
This is the Gaza dynamic all over again. The weaker side has an important card. The stronger side is willing to pay a high price for it, but not any price. The weaker side digs in its heels because it overestimates its own negotiating position and underestimates the stronger side’s resolve. (Often, they are misinformed about the mood on the other side by following that side’s opposition media.) Then the weaker side gets pummeled and thoroughly devastated, and will eventually have to settle for a lower price than what it could have gotten earlier. This is all Israel-Hamas reloaded. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
