Thousands of Gazans Civilians Martyred in Israel's Current War on the Strip (French)

To write from France is doing so from a country that is still in denial of colonialism, from a country where the political media system has made much room for the Israelis, concealing the Palestinians' point of view, and from a country where the highest political authorities have often provided "unconditional support" to Israel, or at least remained silent in the face of Israel's numerous violations of international law and crimes.

From this introduction, anthropologist Yazid Ben Hunnett began an article on his blog on the Mediapart website, where he first referred to France's heavy colonial history and its support for apartheid regimes, when it banned the screening of René Fothier's film "The Front Line" about apartheid in South Africa, which was later screened.

Jaout: "Silence is death, and you will die if you fast, and if you speak, you will die. Say and die"

Say and die

The writer also recalled the quote of the Algerian writer Tahar Djaout: "Silence is death, and you will die if you are silent, and if you speak, you will die. Say and die," he said, referring to the waving of terrorism rhetoric and "apologizing for terrorism" to stifle all critical voices, including academics specializing in the Middle East and the Arab world, in reference to the need to express what is inside you, and the need to defend freedom of expression as well, in addition to the need to take a distance from the narratives presented to us as evidence, and the need to search for the sources on which they are based.

A third, more pertinent example is the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) statement on October 11 protesting Israeli propaganda in France, the United States, and elsewhere, which did not mention its participation and other organizations in the attack. And Bataclan, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, because the war on terror legitimizes unlimited destruction, as we saw in Iraq, and as we see now in the Gaza Strip."

Malcolm X: If you're not careful, newspapers will make you hate people who are persecuted, and love people who are persecuted.

intellectual obscenity

Although Craig Moukheiber, former director of the New York office of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, spoke in his resignation letter on October 28 of a typical case of genocide, and stated that the term was used by many academics and specialists in international law and human rights, he singled out France on this issue, criticizing the level of intellectual obscenity in which the debate is taking place there, especially since bodies are still piling up in Gaza, and that UNICEF had counted 16,11 as of November 255. 4630 victims, including 3200,1500 children, as well as some <>,<> missing persons, including <>,<> children.

On top of double standards in covering events, we have also observed a typical case of propaganda that accompanies, tolerates, and legitimizes ongoing genocide massacres, such as coldly saying that Israeli children are also victims of Palestinian armed groups, despite their percentage in Israeli statistics being 2.75%, while UNICEF reported that Palestinian children accounted for 41.1% of the victims of the Israeli army.

"If you're not careful, newspapers will make you hate people who are persecuted, and love people who are persecuted," he famously wrote, especially since few people know that Malcolm X visited Khan Yunis refugee camps in the Gaza Strip in September 1964.
