En dehors de la boîte

Avec le soutien massif d’un pays membre de l’OTAN, la Turquie d’Erdogan, qui rêve depuis longtemps d’annexer le nord de la Syrie, les mercenaires takfiristes ont pris le pouvoir à Damas, et l’État syrien s’est effondré comme un château de cartes. On s’étonne de cette soudaineté. Mais une économie en...

On November 27^th, ultra-extremist militants Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched a vast offensive in Syria. Within days, the Turkey-backed faction seized significant swaths of Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city, and advances elsewhere continue. While disinformation on the scale and success...

Unfortunately, after decades of racist distortions by Zionists and supportive imperial Western states, and given hard-to-avoid reliance upon a dominant and biased Western mainstream media, even consistent supporters of the Palestinian cause sometimes take, as fact, notions which have become generally accepted as “true” (unaware that critical investigation may disprove it).

150 jours de génocide. 150 jours de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l’humanité qui s’enchaînent à une vitesse telle qu’on pourrait presque passer à côté. Pourtant, nombre de ces crimes mériteraient de faire la une des journaux pendant des jours, si ce n’est des semaines. Au lieu de ça, les médias occidentaux n’en ont pas parlé, ou à peine. C’est la raison qui nous pousse aujourd’hui à (re)mettre en lumière sept d’entre eux. Sept crimes qui reflètent le degré d’inhumanité inouï atteint durant cette guerre. Sept crimes qu’il ne faudra jamais oublier.

Since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began, Zionist officials, pundits, journalists, and their Western opposite numbers have endlessly invoked the sinister specter of “terrorism” to justify the industrial-scale slaughter of Palestinians. It is because of “terrorism,” twice-failed U.S. Presidenti...

Israel has erased the Jewish people and destroyed the possibilities for Jews to live in Palestine as non-colonizers. “Israeli” is a colonial identity we should renounce, because it harms both Palestinians and Jews.

Between 1975 and 1991, Cuba embarked on a remarkable internationalist mission known as Operación Carlota.

Niger is shaping up to be the surprising frontline of the new Cold War.

Le temps présent met à l’épreuve les catégories de la philosophie politique classique. Il impose de penser à nouveaux frais la justice et la force, la liberté et la servitude, la politique et la morale. Aucune philosophie universelle ne fournissant les réponses exigées par la raison, l’histoire en acte se charge de rebattre les cartes. Signe des temps, les notions les plus communes ne résistent pas au vent de la critique, les vieilles idoles vacillent sur leur piédestal. Ainsi le discours dominant brandit le nom de démocratie comme un talisman. Mot-valise, bon à tout et propre à rien, emblème douteux des régimes occidentaux, il doit son efficacité symbolique à son caractère équivoque. Pour peu qu’on lui donne une définition rigoureuse, le charme s’évanouit, la supercherie s’évente.
