The epidemic is receding, delivery is approaching 

Le Parisien

the countdown only displays 72 hours.

And places are already being snapped up on the terrace.

"It's a bit of a hassle to find one", wonders Michaël, 30, who is already imagining his evening of May 19 "on a rooftop, with tapas, cocktails and lots of friends".

Marie, her friend, agrees: "It is the symbol of deliverance"

, “doesn't this return to the life of the past run the risk of causing the epidemic to skyrocket? It is true that the virus is circulating at a much higher level than during the first deconfinement and that the situation remains fragile. But the deconfinement schedule is ambitious,

This time, there is no longer any question of making the same mistake again, one year apart, by opening the floodgates overnight. This Wednesday, only half of the terraces will be accessible and then fully occupied on June 9, with 50

% of the interior and a lifting of the restrictions ten days later. Cinemas and theaters seats will only be filled to 35

% and to begin with, museums, libraries, shops will have to respect the rule of 8 m2 per person.

"It is quite well seen on the part of the executive,

There are two weeks between each deadline, which makes it possible to assess the impact on hospitalizations and to adjust the constraints if necessary ". 

Sud-Ouest,

 Emmanuel Macron is on the way to succeeding in his bet, even if everything is still fragile. […] For three weeks, the epidemic has receded, and this above all thanks to vaccination which, after a difficult and chaotic start, has gained momentum to find a sustained cruising speed, although still insufficient. But also,

We will know in a year,

, if the French are grateful to Emmanuel Macron or if they have moved on. 

 Wednesday, again, we can say that we are on the terrace (despite the gloomy weather in this month of May).

[…] This will hold a hedonistic manifesto, even if we will keep our distance and our coats, for fear that we will be sent back to the sanitary locker room.

Under the downpour, we will rekindle the forbidden lamparos.

In the storm, we will cling to the parasols that have become umbrellas and we will have the impression of having passed Cape Horn of prohibition.

Despite the lost year and the sacrificed lemonade, we will once again be part of the café society.

And, nose to the wind, we will watch for the clearing that precedes the upturn. 

Israel is stepping up its bombardments on the Gaza Strip,

Le Figaro

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he was" appalled at the growing number of civilian casualties. "

But the organization has not given birth to any proposal.

Israeli missiles killed at least 42 people in Gaza on Sunday, according to local relief workers, the heaviest daily toll for a week,

Le Monde.

That night, Israel continued its air raids aimed at "terrorist targets."

Escalation and desolation,

Sociology of Jerusalem

we are in a situation where the“ ethnos people ”have replaced the“ demos people ”.

Clearly, the State of Israel is increasingly Jewish and less and less democratic.

Zionism is no longer a societal and political project, but a regime of government.

What to rebuild,

, it is the link between Jewish national identity and democracy, with the right of Palestinian minorities to be part of it.

It is about building a model of justice and mutual recognition, for which neither the Jewish religious extremists, nor Hamas, by the way, are very convincing candidates.

[…] What must be sought is daily diplomacy, community rapprochement based on concrete measures.

We must seek legal and political translations of what a shared citizenship would be, a true civic equality
