المغرب أو “دولة الحق و القانون”

لست خبيرا في تاريخ الشعوب..لكني-رغم بحثي-لم أجد شعبا يقرب للعالم المتقدم يقبل يد زعيمه..و لم أعثر على شعب يقدس قطارا لاحتمال ان يوجد فيه سيده..لم ارى نوابا اختراهم الشعب (مع وضع عدة أقواس على كلمة اختارهم) في أي دولة في العالم يقفون في الشمس طوال النهار ليقدموا فروض الطاعة و الولاء..أو أطفالا يصفونهم بلقب مولاي [...]

Quand j’étais petit je rêvais de devenir quelqu’un, mais j’aurai dû être plus précis.

Lutter contre la Cyber-Censure
» ‎ Blogma Aggregator (morocco)

Ce vendredi 12 mars met en avant lors de la journée mondiale de lutte contre la cyber-censure, la bataille pour la liberté d’information. Depuis que le Net s’ouvre au monde, les pays les moins démocratiques ou ceux se prétendant démocratiques tendent à renforcer le contrôle sur l’information. Face à ces états censeurs, dictatoriaux ou fut un temps réellement démocratiques, il appert que la capacité de mobilisation des net-citoyens, des anarnautes, des tenants de la Netopie, s’accroît en faisant tomber les frontières des états.
Chaque citoyen soumis à la censure ou que les états veulent faire taire devient un relais d’informations permettant au monde entier d’être mis face aux dérives des régimes autoritaires, il n’est qu’à penser à la Révolution Twitter en Iran… Malheureusement, quelques rares pays, la Corée du Nord, la Birmanie, le Turkménistan voire Cuba coupent totalement l’accès au Web prétextant un manque de moyens techniques et un moindre développement des infrastructures. De fait, nous assistons à une explosion du marché noir des télécommunications, notamment à Cuba, en Chine ou en Corée du Nord…
Le marché de la construction des prisons devrait aussi s’accroître puisque près de 120 blogueurs, internautes, cyberdissidents sont enchristés pour avoir eu la désobligeance de s’exprimer librement.
- Au Maroc, pays ami de la France, le délicieux Mohammed 6, pire encore que son père, mais n’ayant pas encore systématisé la surveillance du Web, maintient en détention un blogueur et un propriétaire de cybercafé pour avoir permis la publication ou publié des propos anti-Mohammed 6, notamment sur la répression d’une manif ayant mal tourné.
- Adnan Hadjizade et Emin Milli, blogueurs Azerbaïdjanais sont sous les verrous pour avoir tourné en dérision les autorités locales et les avoir ridiculisé dans une vidéo sur You Tube.
- Au Yémen, quatre journalistes sont actuellement derrière les barreaux pour des raisons similaires…
Et la liste pourrait être longue encore des exactions commises sous couvert politique. RSF publie donc ce rapport à l’occasion de cette journée de lutte et rallonge également la liste des pays ayant mis le Web sous surveillance : la Turquie et la Russie en font dorénavant partie.
Si seuls les régimes autoritaires étaient initiateurs de cette surveillance du Web, les pays libres les rejoignent et les moyens de surveillance évoluent. Censure et intimidations, pressions étatiques et légales se démultiplient… 60 pays censurent « officiellement » le web en 2009, soit deux fois plus en qu’en 2008…
Filtrage, fichage, fermeture de blogs, de sites de dissidents, d’opposants aux régimes de ces 60 pays… les moyens techniques se mettent au service de la volonté de faire en sorte que le Web la ferme purement et simplement. Arrestation torture, intimidation des journalistes, des dissidents, des blogueurs, des entourages (notamment au Maroc), des familles…
RSF précise que « Les plus grandes prison du monde pour les net-citoyens sont la Chine, largement en tête avec 72 détenus, suivie du Viêt-nam et de l’Iran, qui ont lancé ces derniers mois des vagues brutales d’arrestation. »
Quand la démocratie censure…
Si l’on évoquait jusqu’alors les dictatures, monarchies absolues et autres régimes staliniens, ceux-ci ne sont pas les seuls à vouloir surveiller le Net. La Corée du Sud tente de mettre un terme à l’anonymat sur la toile, l’Australie est en train de se doter d’un système de filtrage total du Web.
Au niveau supranational, les discussions actuelles menées sous secret défense par 39 états ne vont guère aller dans le sens des anarnautes, des opposants. ACTA destinés à lutter contre la contrefaçon se négocie sans la moindre concertation avec les ONG, sans aucun rapprochement avec les acteurs du Web. La Communauté européenne à beau s’opposer à cette confidentialité par un vote très largement majoritaire, les passions ne s’apaisent pas face à un accord qui pourrait instaurer la surveillance du Web dans 39 pays dont on prétend qu’ils sont démocratiques. Ces mesures liberticides potentielles passeraient par un filtrage du Net sans qu’aucune décision de justice n’ait à être prise.
Les législations répressives sont de plus en plus systématiques : Jordanie, Irak, Kazakhstan, Australie, Grande-Bretagne, France… cette liste est longue et peut inquiéter… Voir accoler dans une même liste des états totalitaires et des démocraties ne laisse guère planer de doutes quant aux volontés de contrôle que tout état veut sur cet espace de liberté qu’est le Web.
Face à ces volontés sécuritaires, le rapport de RSF précise cependant que « En Finlande, le décret n°732/2009 fait de l’accès à Internet un droit fondamental pour tous les citoyens. En vertu de ce texte, chaque foyer devra bénéficier d’une connexion d’au moins 1 mégabit par seconde au 31 juillet 2010. D’ici 2015, elle devra être d’au moins 100 mégabit par seconde. De son côté, le Parlement islandais examine à l’heure actuelle une proposition de loi ambitieuse, “Icelandic Modern Media Initiative” (IMMI), destinée à protéger les libertés sur Internet, en garantissant la transparence et l’indépendance de l’information. Si elle est adoptée, l’Islande deviendrait un paradis cybernétique pour les blogueurs et les citoyens journalistes »
Les blogueurs s’associent…
Partout sur la planète Web, les associations de blogueurs se développent en cyber-mouvements de lutte, d’échanges de fichiers, de techniques permettant aux iraniens d’utiliser des proxies destinés aux dissidents chinois, etc. Idem dans les 60 pays de la liste RSF… la résistance sur le Web s’organise. Et la résistance, ça marche ! En Russie, le média le plus libre est le Net, en Italie, on n’en est pas loin malgré les tentatives de Berlusconi de faire taire les blogueurs opposants, en France non plus, nous n’en sommes pas très loin ! RSF précise aussi que « L’Arabic Network for Human Rights Information estime à 10 000 le nombre de blogs actifs, en arabe et en anglais, dans le pays. ». Les trônes dictatoriaux se fragiliseront… gageons le.
Cette journée de lutte contre la cyber-censure ne doit en aucun cas être une mobilisation d’une journée, elle doit être un combat de chaque jour où les démocrates, à défaut des démocraties, doivent soutenir les dissidents, les opposants enchristés pour avoir voulu défendre leurs libertés fondamentales, leur liberté d’expression.

المرفــأ: لائحة جديدة لأعداء الإنترنت: روسيا وتركيا تنضمان إلى الدول “قيد المراقبة”
» ‎ Syria Planet (syria)

في 12 آذار/مارس 2010، تحتفل مراسلون بلا حدود باليوم العالمي لمكافحة الرقابة الإلكترونية. يهدف هذا الموعد السنوي إلى توعية كل منا إزاء ضرورة دعم شبكة إنترنت واحدة حرة ومتاحة للجميع لا سيما أن تعزيز ضبط الويب في عدد متزايد من البلدان بات يواجَه بنمو قدرات التعبئة لدى مواطنين إلكترونيين أكثر ابتكاراً وتضامناً. وهذه هي النزعة التي شددت عليها مراسلون بلا حدود في تقريرها الجديد “أعداء الإنترنت”. إنه تقرير يسلّط الضوء على أبرز البلدان التي تحد من نفاذ مواطنيها إلى شبكة الإنترنت وتضيّق الخناق على المواطنين الإلكترونيين. وتنشر المنظمة أيضاً لائحة بدول “قيد المراقبة” وهي دول يثير موقفها حيال الشبكة بعض القلق.

إن لائحة أعداء الإنترنت التي تعدّها مراسلون بلا حدود تجمع هذا العام أيضاً أسوأ منتهكي حرية التعبير على شبكة الإنترنت: المملكة العربية السعودية، وبورما، والصين، وكوريا الشمالية، وكوبا، ومصر، وإيران، وأوزبكستان، وسوريا، وتونس، وتركمانستان، وفيتنام. يتخذ بعض هذه البلدان قرار منع مواطنيهم بأي ثمن عن النفاذ إلى شبكة الإنترنت ولا سيما بورما وكوريا الشمالية وكوبا وتركمانستان. إنها دول تقترن فيها العقبات الفنية والمالية بسيطرة تفرضها السلطات وشبكة داخلية محدودة للغاية. وليس انقطاع الإنترنت أو سرعته البطيئة إلا عملة شائعة في أوقات الشدة. وتختار المملكة العربية السعودية وأوزبكستان الترشيح المكثف دافعتين متصفّحي الإنترنت إلى ممارسة الرقابة الذاتية. ومع أن الصين ومصر وتونس وفيتنام تعوّل على استراتيجية متقنة لتطوير البنى التحتية لأغراض اقتصادية ولكنها تراقب المحتويات السياسية والاجتماعية عن كثب وتظهر تعصباً فعلياً إزاء الأصوات الناقدة. وقد أوقعت الأزمة الداخلية الخطيرة التي تجتاح إيران منذ أشهر المواطنين الإلكترونيين ووسائل الإعلام الجديدة في شباكها حتى أصبحوا بدورهم أعداء للنظام.

ومن بين البلدان “قيد المراقبة” لا بدّ من ذكر عدة ديمقراطيات أبرزها أستراليا التي تعتزم تطبيق نظام متطور لترشيح شبكة الإنترنت قريباً، وكوريا الجنوبية حيث فرضت قوانين صارمة لمراقبة متصفّحي الإنترنت عن كثب قاضية على مجهوليتهم ودافعةً إياهم إلى ممارسة الرقابة الذاتية.

تنضم تركيا وروسيا إلى لائحة “الدول قيد المراقبة”. في روسيا، وبعد سيطرة الكرملين على معظم وسائل الإعلام، أصبح الإنترنت أكثر المساحات حرية لتبادل المعلومات. ولكن استقلاليته مهددة باعتقالات المدوّنين ومحاكماتهم كما بحجب المواقع المتهمة “بالتطرّف”. أما الدعاية التي يحرص النظام على ترويجها فأصبحت أكثر انتشاراً على الشبكة وتبقى إمكانية تحوّل الإنترنت إلى أداة للسيطرة السياسية سيفاً مسلطاً على أعناق المواطنين.

في تركيا، تتناول المواضيع المحرّمة أتاتورك والقوات المسلّحة ومسألة الأقليات وكرامة الأمة. وفي هذا السياق، تم حجب عدة آلاف من المواقع بما فيها يوتيوب، ما أثار احتجاجات عارمة. ولا بدّ من الإشارة إلى أن المدوّنين ومتصفّحي الإنترنت الذين يعبّرون بحرية عن آرائهم بهذه المواضيع يواجهون أعمالاً انتقامية ولا سيما قضائية.

وتبقى بلدان أخرى من بينها الإمارات العربية المتحدة وبيلاروسيا وتايلند في لائحة “الدول قيد المراقبة” ولكنه يجدر بها أن تحرز بعض التقدم تفادياً لانزلاقها إلى لائحة “أعداء الإنترنت”: تايلند بسبب الانتهاكات المرتبطة بجريمة العيب في الذات الملكية، والإمارات بسبب تعزيزها الترشيح، وبيلاروسيا لتوقيع رئيسها مرسوماً قامعاً للحريات يرمي إلى ضبط الشبكة.

أما الدول الأخرى “قيد المراقبة” فهي البحرية وإريتريا وسيرلانكا وماليزيا. سينشر التقرير المرفق طيه على موقع مراسلون بلا حدود مساء يوم الخميس الواقع فيه 11 آذار/مارس 2010 بدءاً من الساعة الثامنة بتوقيت باريس (الساعة السابعة بتوقيت غرينيتش).

مبادرات أخرى مرتبطة بيوم 12 آذار/مارس

عشية اليوم العالمي لمكافحة الرقابة الإلكترونية، تقدّم مراسلون بلا حدود في تمام الساعة السابعة من مساء 11 آذار/مارس 2010 للمرة الأولى “جائزة المواطن الإلكتروني” بدعم من غوغل. إن هذه الجائزة تكافئ متصفح إنترنت أو مدوّن أو مخالف إلكتروني تميّز بنشاطاته في مجال الدفاع عن حرية التعبير على الإنترنت. وسيقام الحفل في مقر غوغل فرنسا في باريس.

وقد أعدّت مراسلون بلا حدود رسماً يرمز إلى الدفاع عن حرية التعبير على الإنترنت. يظهر هذا الرسم فأرة كمبيوتر تتحرر من قيودها ويمكن تحميله مجاناً بنقرة واحدة علماً بأنه متوفر بعدة ألوان. وإن كنتم ترغبون في التعبير عن دعمكم لليوم العالمي لمكافحة الرقابة الإلكترونية أو الدفاع عن شبكة إنترنت حرة ومتاحة للجميع، لا تتردوا عن تحميل الرسم لتعرضوه على موقعكم الإلكتروني أو مدوّنتكم أو لدى توقيع رسائلكم الإلكترونية.

Purimpalooza VII Rewind
» ‎ Jewlicious (israel)

Two weeks ago Los Angeles was rocked by a Purim party of Olympic proportions. JConnectLA, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, and Atid – the young professional group of Sinai Temple and took over the entire Rodeo Collection on Rodeo drive. Music was provided by Moshav, Ram2, DJ Miles, and one of LA’s top DJ’s DJ Felli Fel.

When the party hit about 1000 people, the Beverly Hills Fire Marshall said enough. Purimpalooza party goers filled Purim baskets that were delivered to the Jewish elderly, and a local bone marrow registry swabbed party goers for bone marrow matches.

Purimpalooza in LA was started by Cheston Mizel, when he began the organization that became JConnectLA. The first event drew about 50-75 people. Purimpalooza has grown from year to year, changing venues and designs.

I just want to give a huge mazal tov to all the organizers, and the participants, for making the dream blossom that started seven years ago – an event to draw together Jews from all backgrounds – to help unify, inspire, and connect young Jewish people in Los Angeles. Shabbat Shalom!

Moroccan desserts

Moroccan Desserts
Circle oranges with sugar and cinnamon

Fresh fruit is the traditional ending to a Moroccan meal, but you'll want to have lots of Moroccan cookies and pastries on hand to go with afternoon tea or coffee. From rich almond pastries like m'hencha to crunchy biscotti-like fekkas, there's sure to be a traditional Moroccan cookie recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Sliced oranges get simple yet sophisticated treatment with a generous sprinkling of ground cinnamon, sugar and orange flower water. Serve this classic Moroccan dessert as a perfect ending to family meals and company dinners.
Some Moroccans use powdered sugar instead of granulated, but I prefer the contrasting texture and crunch of the granulated sugar.
Enjoy

Actually the US had already approved the construction in Jerusalem
» ‎ Jews sans frontieres (palestine)

Here's another Ha'aretznik's take on the Netanyahu/Biden spit, woops, I mean spat. This is from Gideon Levy:
The scoundrel appeared in the midst of the smile- and hug-fest with the vice president of the United States and disrupted the celebration. Joe Biden's white-toothed smiles froze abruptly, the great friendship was about to disintegrate, and even the dinner with the prime minister and his wife was almost canceled, along with the entire "peace process." And all because of Yishai.

Well, the interior minister does deserve our modest thanks. The move was perfect. The timing, which everyone is complaining about, was brilliant. It was exactly the time to call a spade a spade. As always, we need Yishai (and occasionally Avigdor Lieberman) to expose our true face, without the mask and lies, and play the enfant terrible who shouts that the emperor has no clothes.

For the emperor indeed has no clothes. Thank you, Yishai, for exposing it. Thank you for ripping the disguise off the revelers in the great ongoing peace-process masquerade in which nobody means anything or believes in anything.

What do we want from Yishai? To know when the Jerusalem planning committee convenes? To postpone its meeting by two weeks? What for? Hadn't the prime minister announced to Israel, the world and the United States, in a move seen at the time as a great Israeli victory, that the construction freeze in the settlements does not include Jerusalem? [My emphasis] Then why blame that lowly official, the interior minister, who implemented that policy?

What's the big deal? Another 1,600 apartments for ultra-Orthodox Jews on occupied, stolen land? Jerusalem won't ever be divided, Benjamin Netanyahu promised, in another applause-winning move. In that case, why not build in it? The Americans have agreed to all this, so they have no reason to pretend to be insulted.[same again]
And yet according to The Guardian, Obama was ""incandescent with anger" and according to the Washington Post:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Friday that Israel had sent a "deeply negative signal" about the U.S.-Israeli relationship and urged him to take immediate steps to demonstrate it was interested in renewing efforts at a Middle East peace agreement
I don't know, the games people play....(to be continued forever)

כך תשדרגו שניצל גרב
» ‎ things.co.il (israel)

כיף לאכול אבל לא למה להשקיע בבישול? אני לא נהנה מזה. במלאת שלוש שנים וקצת לפרסום המתכון לעגבטונה, החלטתי לשתף את הציבור בפיתוח חדש של אוכל לעצלנים.

מדובר על אחד המאכלים הנפוצים: שניצל. כמובן שלא הכנתי את השניצל. קניתי חבילה קפואה של שניצלים מהסופר בצבע כתום אחיד. להלן - שניצל גרב. החבילה הכחולה יותר טובה מהירוקה. יותר מזכירה עוף

אם כן, יש לנו שניצל במקפיא ועכשיו צריך לחמם אותו. הוא ייצא הרבה יותר טעים אם נחמם אותו בטוסטר, נכון? אבל אז צריך נייר כסף וחשוב להשגיח שלא יישרף. זמן ההשגחה הוא זמן בו לא בודקים מייל. חבל!

מצד שני, שניצל גרב במיקרוגל לא יוצא ממש טעים. לעתים הוא עלול להעלות מחשבות על צמיג שחוק. וכאן בא השדרוג. נדרש כאן מאמץ מסויים: יש להשתמש בסכין. הרעב העצלן בדרך כלל משתמש רק במזלג - פחות כלים לשטוף. אבל הפעם משקיעים!

חותכים עגבניה (רגילה או שרי - המתכון גמיש כמו השניצל) על צלחת. כעת מוציאים את השניצל מהמקפיא, מניחים על הצלחת ומעבירים את פלחי העגבניות מעל השניצל. אם השתמשתם בצלחת נוספת - טעיתם.

ועכשיו שלב הבישול - מכניסים את הצלחת למיקרו לשלוש דקות, ובינתיים עושים סידורים. בהישמע צלצול המיקרו, מוציאים ומגישים לעצמכם. אם הכל קר, כנראה הכנסתם את הצלחת למקרר. תוציאו את הצלחת מהמקרר ותכניסו אותה למיקרו.

העגבניות המעוכות והרותחות נותנת לשניצל הגרב טעם יותר חי ומזכירות לכם שעגבניות על האש זה טעים. לא, אין טעם של אש, אבל המחשבה מסיחה את הדעת.

שילוב הצבעים כתום / אדום יגרום לכם סיפוק עצמי על ההשקה, והמאכל באמת יוצא יותר טעים מסתם להפשיר במיקרו. בתיאבון!

לא צילמתי. הייתי רעב

The Dahi’s Ultimatum
» ‎ Egyptian chronicles (egypt)

Enclosure: [download]

Those spies that are currently present in the Gulf must leave the region within one week — if not, then we will cross that bridge when we come to it
Dubai Police Chief Lt. General Dahi Khalfan Tamim Gulf News , March 10th 2010Dubai General Tamim is really hopeful man , seriously what kind of ultimatum is that !!?? Is this a joke !!?? Not to mention if we are speaking about those spies in the Gulf , then we will speak about spies inside the ruling families there for God sake !! I respect the Dubai Police chief but his statements have gone too far , he is not dealing with mafia !! Dubai Police Chief indeed has become a world face personality not only regional or local one in his home city thanks to the Mabhouh’s murder and how he and his police force solved an assassination led by a secret service in a very short time. Here is below his interview with Hamdi Kandeel who returned back to Dream TV 2. Khalfan spoke about Mabhouh’s murder and also tackled Suzanne Tamim’s trial. Already that show was recorded on the same day Hisham and Mohsen won the appeal. There is no doubt that the murder of Mabhouh was a big challenge to Dubai Police considering its impact on the city’s reputation in a very critical time. Dubai now is the new Beirut or Athens where secret intelligence services and businessmen get rid from their enemies , it is the perfect playground for assassins. First you got Suzanne Tamim’s murder and its media circus that has not ended but it has been renewed for God knows till when and second you got Sulim B. Yamadayev’s murder. Both murders technically have been unsolved, the court in Cairo has accepted the appeal of Mohsen El-Sokary and Hisham Talaat despite the insistence of Dahi that his police did not tamper with the evidences found at the crime scene and that it was the real DNA of Mohsen that they found where as all what they could do in Yamadayev’s murder is to link it to Russia. Another part of the challenge Dubai or the UAE is facing and led Dubai police to act quickly is its relations with Israel that can’t be described as official or unofficial. Before the murder we find Dubai saying that it was ready to host the UN which means official relations with Israel as you can’t host UN while you do not recognize a country in the world officially. Then at the same time of the murder we find an Israeli minister visiting Abu Dhabi in an international conference where as Dubai welcomes an Israeli tennis player to its tournament. Internationally Dubai and Abu Dhabi were good example to the West welcoming the Israelis in the Gulf officially even if they did not declare it yet regionally the UAE looked so bad. I do not have doubt that the Mossad thought it was a piece of cake and that either the Dubai police would not solve the crime and expose their agents quickly or that it would keep it hash just like in the Western countries. Of course some will argue and say that why It is always Israel to be blamed , many parties and countries hate Hamas and Mabhouh according to them , well if it is so why Israel friends in the West like UK, France, Ireland , Germany and Australia summoned the Israeli Ambassadors to report their official anger for using their citizens’ ids and passports. Also if Israel is so innocent why its press tried to accuse Egypt and Jordan indirectly and why our official press trashed Israel in return. Of course Israel considered this as a victory , well if you look to it from one side the Mossad managed to get rid of Mabhouh but from another side its agents were exposed by a Police force in a very short time creating diplomatic crisis with several other countries.For sure Dubai will not succeed for real to connect the Mossad officially to the murder , it is hard because this is an intelligence operation but the current fantastic results are enough to respect the Dubai police and their efforts. By the way I hope the Palestinians wake up from their sleep and watch out for the spies among them , Mabhouh would not have been killed if it were not for the spies inside the house.
Now here are the 27 suspects from the Dubai Police and Interpol , this is just in case if you see one of them here or there.

Depuis que les blogs ont fait leur entrée dans le monde des communs des mortels et surtout depuis que les journalistes découvrent ce puissant moyen de communication, il y a un débat récurrent sur l'anonymat derrière lequel les blogueurs se cachent. La blogosphère (je ne sais pas si les journalistes payés pour bloguer en font partie mais passons sur cette technicalité) québécoise a été prise d'émoi pour connaître la personne derrière [www.cliqueduplateau.com] Les journalistes-blogueurs ne pouvaient sûrement pas accepter qu’un blog ait autant de popularité et qu’il vise juste la plupart du temps. Je ne me suis jamais senti personnellement touché par ce brouhaha, bien que de temps en temps, et remarquez bien l’ironie, des commentateurs anonymes s’en prennent à ma crédibilité en invoquant le fait que je blogue juste avec mon prénom. La plupart des billets publiés par les blogueurs sont des opinions ou des chroniques ou encore des textes personnels dont tout le monde se fout. En quoi alors connaitre l’identité de l’auteur de l’opinion est important ? Quant aux blogs qui publient des nouvelles originales -et ils sont rares ceux-là- le lecteur devrait être capable de discerner le vrai du faux sans se baser sur l’identité du blogueur et à ce jeu de comparaison là, il me semble que les journalistes ont plus à perdre qu’à gagner car les exemples de médias ayant publié des nouvelles fausses ou fallacieuses sont légion malheureusement. Quand j'ai commencé à bloguer, mon nom de famille était bien visible dans l'url de ce blog ; d'ailleurs sur certains blogs, on peut encore voir que j'ai été référencé en tant que Reda Nomdefamille. J'ai décidé de l'enlever pour deux raisons : La première c’est lorsqu'un ex-patron m'a fait part qu’il m’avait googlé et était tombé sur un de mes billets où je m’étais lâché (Je vous accorde que cela arrive souvent), sa remarque ne contenait aucun reproche mais je me suis rendu compte qu’il venait de voir une facette de moi que j’essaye (sans succès d’ailleurs) de ne pas trop montrer au travail. Une autre raison de mon relatif anonymat, et l’actualité au Maroc m’a aidé à bien y réfléchir depuis les deux ou trois dernières années, c’est que je ne blogue pas léger. Je m’explique : La plupart des sujets qui m’allument sont reliés à la politique, qu’elle soit canadienne, québécoise ou marocaine. Si je ne traitais que des deux premières, je pense que j’aurais laissé mon nom bien visible dans l’url de ce blog mais voilà, je blogue aussi et surtout politique marocaine, et mes positions ne sont pas vraiment tendres avec le Makhzan (quoique certains me reprocheront ma position sur le Sahara marocain), et comme je suis peut-être courageux mais pas inconscient, je n’ai pas envie de me retrouver icône d’une campagne de libération d’un blogueur emprisonné pour ses opinions. (Je veux vivre moi monsieur) Est-ce que l’anonymat est acceptable ? Chaque blogueur a ses propres raisons qui le poussent à bloguer anonymement ou pas mais cela ne devrait pas servir à discréditer les opinions mises de l’avant. D’ailleurs, je n’hésite jamais à répondre à ceux qui attaquent les blogueurs sur ce point que rien mais absolument rien ne les oblige à continuer à lire un blog s’ils ne sont pas contents du contenu.*J'ai hésité à donner comme titre à ce billet : Le relatif anonymat des blogueurs. Car ne soyons pas dupes, il suffit de creuser un peu pour trouver la véritable identité de tout un chacun.

Friday Afternoon Roundup - Conservatives with Courage
» ‎ from NY to Israel Sultan Reveals The Stories Behind the News (israel)

Biden and Terrorist leader Abbas cheerfully passing past a line of uniformed terrorists

FOX News' bashing of Geert Wilders has been making the rounds of the blogsphere this week. While a number of people attribute this to the growing power of Saudi Arabia over Newscorp. This might be true, but as we saw again last week, Glenn Beck is not necessarily the brightest star in the heavens. And considering that his rant also confused Dominique De Villepin with LePen, this may be one of those cases where there's no reason to attribute to malice, what is likely to be the product of ignorance. Beck has always said that he's an entertainer and this would not be the first time he's taken competing positions on a single issue.

The roundtable however is more troubling, insofar as panels are chosen to provide multiple points of view, and this panel provided only one single view, the anti-Wilders one. FOX News has soft pedaled the Muslim issue before. Prince Talal had claimed in the past that he was able to influence FOX programming. And News Corp and the Saudis are only deepening their involvement.

Andrew Bostom has an extensive roundup of replies to Krauthammer in his piece, Educating Charles Krauthammer, but there is a larger issue here which is how the political and media establishments, both conservative and liberal, will react to someone who is seriously committed to fighting Islam taking power. The roundtable is likely only the thinnest preview of that.

Remember that while politicians who have talked tough on Islam have also shown a history of folding once they got into a respectable position.

In 2006, future London Mayor Boris Johnson was saying things like this

To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers. As the killer of Theo Van Gogh told his victim’s mother this week in a Dutch courtroom, he could not care for her, could not sympathise, because she was not a Muslim.

Today he's singing the praises of Islam and calling on non-Muslims to fast on Ramadamadingdong. During the election Johnson was forced to recant and instead adopt the "Religion of Peace" cant.

To appreciate the full contrast, watch Boris Johnson go from saying this after the 7/7 bombings

The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?

to saying things like this during the election

The problem is people who wrench out of context quotes from the holy book of Islam, the Koran, and use it to inspire evil in men's hearts. That is a fact that few serious people would deny and we need to tackle the extremists.

Finally Boris wound up doing exactly the same sort of contemptible things his predecessor Livingstone had done, visiting pro-terrorist mosques and advising Brits to be more like Muslims.

If Wilders chooses to continue defying this route. If he doesn't go the way of Sarkozy who talked tough during the election, only to wimp out once in office. Or Johnson who ran to hug the Muslims once the issue came up in the election and boast of his own Muslim roots-- then he will face a true firestorm of rage, not simply from Muslims, but from the First World political establishment.

Because the Muslim issue lies at the heart of the moral compromises that conservative politicians have made over the years, and at the heart of the left's plot to undermine and reconstruct Europe, America, Israel, Australia and Canada more to their liking. That makes it the ultimate third rail of politics.

A political leader who actually will fight to roll back Eurabia is a menace in more ways than one. He threatens to undo the progressive vision of a post-national, post-ethnic and post-religious Europe. And he shames and humiliates conservatives who are equally afraid of taking a stand, as they are of being associated with anything that smacks of extremism.

A FOX News roundtable with "moderate" conservatives like Krauthammer will be the least of the kind of assaults that Wilders will face in the days ahead, as Saudi money and the political establishment will go after the man who dares to upset the apple cart.

But if Wilders wins, it may mean a giant setback for the Conservatism of the Timid. And that may change the world as we know it.

Consider Israel where right now Netanyahu is busy apoligizing for "humiliating" Biden by presuming to build homes in East Jerusalem where Jews might actually live.

In the perverse media propaganda environment, Netanyahu's failure to practice their approved policy of apartheid for Jews is a humiliation for "Biden." Now Hillary Clinton has gotten in on the act demanding that Israel show it's truly serious about peace.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Friday that Israel had sent a "deeply negative signal" about the U.S.-Israeli relationship and urged him to take immediate steps to demonstrate it was interested in renewing efforts at a Middle East peace agreement.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters at his regular news briefing. Clinton, he said, reinforced "this action had undermined trust and confidence in the peace process and in America's interests."

Crowley added: "The secretary said she could not understand how this happened, particularly in light of the United States' strong commitment to Israel's security, and she made clear that the Israeli government needed to demonstrate not just through words but through specific actions that they are committed to this relationship and to the peace process."

Probably the best way to answer this would be with a long series of unprintable obscenities, but let's try logic for the moment.

In response to demands that it show its serious commitment to peace (as if transferring sizable portions of Israel into the hands of a terrorist organization wasn't serious enough) Netanyahu froze all construction of Jewish homes in Judea and the Shomron.

Netanyahu agreed to take down checkpoints and open up roads, which makes it easier for terrorists to penetrate Israel, but shows the commitment to peace.

Did any of this convince Hillary Clinton and Obama and his good friend Abbas that Israel was serious about peace? Of course not.

And what has Abbas done to show Israel that he's serious about peace? Well he has threatened a holy war against Israel, laid claim to Jewish holy places, attended the funeral of some his terrorists who had participated in the murder of a Rabbi... in other words the usual sort of thing the PLO gang has been up to for nearly 20 years.

Yet clearly Israel needs to show it's serious about peace.

Melanie Philips at The Spectator has a devastating article asking Is this why the Palestinians 'deserve' a state, Mr Biden?

But Biden does not care that the terrorists who hosted him named a square after a woman who participated in the murder of 13 Israeli children. He cares about Jewish children moving into Jerusalem.

At his lovefest with Abbas, Biden again blasted Israel;

Yesterday -- yesterday, the decision by the Israeli government to advance planning for new housing units in east Jerusalem undermined that very trust, the trust that we need right now in order to begin as well as produce -- have profitable negotiations. That is why I immediately condemned the action. As we move forward, the United States will hold both sides accountable for any statements or actions that inflame tensions or prejudice the outcome of talks, as this decision did.

But of course as he demonstrated, Biden and the Obama Administration will not hold the terrorists accountable for their terrorism. Only the Israelis for trying to live their lives.

Behind Biden's charade of talking about his love for Israel, is the cold hard reality that the policies of the Obama Administrated are geared toward destroying Israel. Netanyahu's housing freeze only whetted the appetite of the beast.

But the Boris Johnson, the Benjamin Netanyahu, the George W. Bush kind of conservative is the only kind tolerated these days. The kind of man who is just edgy enough to inspire support and do some of the right things, but not nearly enough of them to actually make a real dent in the problem.

And if Wilders is going to be a new kind of conservative, he will have to fight hard for the chance.

At Commentary, Jennifer Rubin points out the inflammatory power of diplomacy

Why is it that “you’ve got to begin”? For what reason must “the process begin?” Well, George Mitchell would have nothing to do with it in his time and the entire apparatus devoted to ceaseless, fruitless negotiations would need to do be redeployed. But Biden never explains why we need to begin a process when there is no remote chance of its success and, furthermore, there is no unified Palestinian government prepared to make peace. He is reduced to pablum, repeated for emphasis but utterly not compelling to anyone whose job doesn’t depend on perpetuating the kabuki theater of negotiations. And he must acknowledge that in this incarnation — indirect talks — we are really engaged in unproductive busy work for diplomats.

This is followed, even for Biden, by a ludicrous declaration: “Our administration fully supports this effort led by our Special Envoy, Senator George Mitchell, a seasoned negotiator and a proven peacemaker in whom the President, the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and I have complete and utter confidence.” Who cares? The question is whether the parties have faith in these people. The answer, especially after this visit, is almost certainly “no.”

Next is the boilerplate repetition that negotiations will lead to a two-state solution. This is where we came in. Why? What facts point to the conclusion that the parties can reach an agreement? There aren’t any.

If Biden’s visit proved anything, it is that diplomatic activity can be counterproductive, inflaming rather than reducing conflicts and deflecting attention from more productive activities. Consider this: is the U.S.-Israeli relationship in a worse or better shape after Biden’s visit? The answer is obvious, as should be the conclusion: sometimes it’s best if everyone stays home.

And speaking of conservatives with courage, Ted Belman has a piece on the English Defense League.

Anas Qtiesh: World Day Against Cyber Censorship
» ‎ Syria Planet (syria)

Today, March 12, is the World Day Against Cyber Censorship. Thus, it’s a perfect timing to finally pen down some of the ideas on the topic that I’ve intended to write for so long. Threatened Voices is a Global Voices Advocacy “collaborative mapping project to build a database of bloggers who have been threatened, arrested or killed for speaking out online and to draw attention to the campaigns to free them.”

As you can see from the map, Arabic speaking countries are a ‘hot area’ where many voices are threatened. I looked closely at the data to see what I can get out of it. My approach was to select a sample of the worst offenders and do a little comparison. I chose the following regimes for this mini-research project I did: Assad of Syria, Mubarak of Egypt, Ben Ali of Tunisia, Mohammed VI of Morocco, Saud of Saudi Arabia, Al Nahyan of UAE, and Sabah of Kuwait. Now wouldn’t it be interesting to see comparison between a regime’s years in power opposed to how many voices were threatened in those years? I thought so too and here’s what I found:

Voices Threatened vs. Years in Power*

As you can see, only Assad, Mubarak, and Saud achieved a higher number of threatened voices than years on the chair. With that they have won their countries a spot on the Reporters Without Borders list of internet enemies for the year 2010 along with Ben Ali for the overall number of voices threatened. Morocco was a close contender, but it didn’t make the top ten list. Here’s a pie chart to better represent the share of voices threatened by regime/country:

Voices Threatened Distribution

The podium goes to Egypt, Tunisia, and Syria; Their Mukhabarat are walking tall today.

On this day, I would like to pay tribute to all Syrian bloggers behind bars, and to all threatened voices around the world. I also want to point out one of the many guides on circumventing internet censorship that’s available for download in English and Arabic.

A world without internet censorship for me means being able to click on a link only worrying that it could have viruses, not that someone is virtually reading over your shoulder and keeping track of every page you happen to open. It also means being able to write a blog post, write a comment, or post a video online without worrying that you’d get up to three years in prison for it; and most of all it means that internet access in my country is held back, over 80% use dial-up, for years to keep online activity, and indeed activists, as controllable as possible.

You can see the Global Voices coverage of the day here, and here. Also, be sure to visit the campaign’s website on Reporters Without Borders:

Anti-democratic Zionist Jews in Canada, the U.S. and U.K.
» ‎ Window Into Palestine (palestine)

Dr. Mohamed Bakr

This week witnessed three different scenes in three different democracies. These scenes may look from the outset to be not related but all three point to the same problem in Western "Democracies". So, what are these scenes?Scene1, Canada:

Last week, the sixth Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) took place. In this week, in many Universities over the world, events are held to inform people of the suffering of the Palestinian people under the Israeli occupation.

The IAW this year is more important than in any other year because it is held after the Goldstone committee report was released. This committee, which was headed by a Zionist Jewish judge, found ample evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel during its attack on Gaza, also known as operation Cast Lead.

This year’s IAW was faced though with a tough organized campaign from different levels of government and media.

The Ontario Legislature issued a statement condemning the IAW.

The government of Mr. Harper, who has been consistent in its loyalty to Israel, has issued also a statement condemning the event.

Mr. Ignatieff, who in 2003 condemned the Israeli illegal settlements and equated them to the apartheid regime in South Africa, also flipped and condemned the IAW!

The IAW was turned into an auction in which each politician is trying to show that he is more loyal to Israel and to its Jewish Zionist lobby in Canada than the others.

Not a single one of them dared to attend the events of the IAW and see that there was no hate directed against anyone. No one of them dared to mention the Goldstone report.

No one of them dared to mention the so many reports by Israeli and international rights groups condemning gruesome Israeli crimes. No one of them even dared to remember the freedom of the Canadian people who elected them to criticize any rogue foreign state!

Scene 2, England:

The government of the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown moved this week to change the law so that Israeli war criminals are not prosecuted during their visits to the UK.

Several months ago, the ex. Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni was about to be arrested in London based on a judge order for her role in the war crimes in Gaza.

It is widely believed that the British government helped smuggle Livni out of the country even though they were fully aware of the judge order!

Since then the Israeli government demanded that the British law be changed so that human rights groups cannot annoy the Israeli war criminals when they travel abroad.

A group of over 70 British intellectuals, many of whom are Jews, published a letter over a month ago condemning any attempt to change the British law based on orders from a foreign state accused of war crimes.

Despite the public resistance, the changes are implemented with complete disregard to the country’s sovereignty or reputation.

Almost a year ago, Spain also changed its law based on Israeli requests so that Israeli war criminals are not prosecuted when visiting this country!

Scene 3, US:

The US Congress issued a resolution this week recognizing what is referred to as the Armenian Genocide during the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

For many years, the Congress refused to issue such a resolution because the pro-Israel lobby was against it.

At the time, Turkey was a close ally of Israel outside the Arab world.

However, since the operation Cast Lead, the Turkish criticism of the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian population was increasing. This resulted in several verbal exchanges between the officials in both countries.

Turkey also canceled joint military training with the IDF. Many Turkish TV programs now show scenes of brutality against the Palestinian population.

Since this started to happen, many predicted that the US congress will issue this resolution based on directions from the pro-Israel lobby.

Of course, this resolution will cause serious damage for the relationship between the US and one of its main allies. It is definitely harmful to US interests in the Middle East.

This, however, did not seem to stop the congress from acting in this way. Turkey and Armenia are starting steps towards a historical reconciliation between them and such a resolution will only complicate matters.

The problem with these three stories is the same.

Representatives who are supposed to defend freedom of speech, national sovereignty, and national interests, seem to work against all three!

They are more interested in showing unconditional submission to the Zionist Jewish lobby that is linked to a foreign state. So, how come a democratic system ends up failing its people so miserably?

The reality is that there is no true democracy in all three countries.

The people who invented the idea of democracy believed that representatives elected by the people will work for the people’s interests.

What they missed is that in order to reach the people you need media. Also, in order to have election campaigns you need money.

This meant that lobbies that have strong media influence and have access to strong financial resources are able to manipulate and even threaten politicians.

These lobbies effectively make politicians work for their interests rather than the interests of the people who elected them.

So, what is the way out of this trap that literally voids the concept of democracy in the West?

Any hope for having a truly democratic system that defends the global human values of human rights and freedom depends on stopping mighty lobbies from corrupting the political game.

All politicians should have access to free unbiased media and to the same financial resources regardless of any political positions that may take.

This separation between capital and politics is our only hope in having a true democracy in the West.

Only then, Canadian politicians will not be afraid to do the right thing and side with the oppressed Palestinian people in their struggle against oppression and apartheid. Will we ever see this day?

(Left: A PA quisling trooper for hire threatening to shoot a demonstrator in Al-Khalil (Hebron))

The next Intifada could see the Palestinian people in struggle not only against Israel but also against the Palestinian Authority

By Khaled Amayreh in Ramallah

"....With a conspicuously helpless Palestinian Authority (PA) doing next to nothing — and arguably capable of nothing — in the face of Israel’s arrogance of power, frustration among ordinary Palestinians is building. It is not unlikely that the seeds are being sown of a full-fledged Intifada if the present trend continues. However, a fresh Intifada would confront the Western-backed PA with a real dilemma that could put into question not only its legitimacy — such as it is — but also its very survival.

This week, Israel delivered a stern warning to the PA: “Stop the stone throwers, or we will.” The problem, however, is that a crackdown by PA security forces on Palestinians reacting to Israeli provocations and aggression would be very unpopular, as it would show PA security forces repressing their own people on Israel’s behalf [COMMENT: So what is new? They have done that many, many times. This is the main function of these Dayton brigades, after all!]. On the other hand, should the PA decide to side with the masses against Israel it would risk its own survival, as the Israeli army would be forced to retake Palestinian population centres as happened in 2001 and 2002."

الصين: أول رواية صينية على تويتر؟
» ‎ (title unknown) (general)

الكاتب الأصلي:Andy Yee · ترجمة سارة ستاندش · عرض المقالة الأصلية
أعلن ليان يو، وهو أستاذ ومدع عام سابق بات مدوناً مشهوراً ومعلقاً سياسياً في الصين عن طريق مدونته (بالصينية)، أنه سيبدأ هذا الشهر بنشر رواية معنونة ب2020على خدمة التدوين المصغّر تويتر. وحسب مدونته، ستستمرّ كتابة الرواية حتى عام 2020.

وعلى ما أعتقد (تفضّلوا بتصحيح معلوماتي إذا أخطأتُ)، هذه هي الرواية الصينية الأولى التي ستنتشر على تويتر، بينما يقال إنّ الكاتب مات ستيورت (بالإنكليزية) كان أول من أصدر رواية أدبية كاملة في هذه الطريقة، أي روايته التي تحمل عنوان الثورة الفرنسية، إذ قرّر ذلك بعد أن فشل في بحثه عن دار نشر جاهزة لقبول هذه الرواية “المجازفة”. أما ليان يو فتختلف أسبابه اختلافاً ملحوظاً، فعلى حد تعبيره:

这跟在浴室唱歌同一个道理。人在放松自由的时空里，你会想到娱乐自己，你有创造与表达的热情。浴室歌声无法发行，偶然听到的人也许耳朵要受罪，可是那个在水雾中温暖松弛的家伙，他无法控制自己啊。

تشبه هذه العملية الغناء في الحمام. عندما تستريح ستسلّي نفسك وسيصبح عندك شغف للإبداع والتعبير. لا يحتمل إصدار الغناء الذي يخرج في الحمام إذ قد يعاني من يسمعه. ولكن الرجل الذي يتمتّع بوقته في الحمام البخاري لا يتمكن من السيطرة على نفسه.

在极端严酷的环境中，创造力将逐渐消亡，文字的多义和暧昧，可以任意引申为犯罪的故意，创造等同于自杀，于是再也没人做了，文字只残存标准化的批判与审判。

سيتوفى الإبداع رويداً رويداً إذا ما تعرّض لظروف قاسية. إن غموض الكلمات وتعدُّد معانيها يدل على سهولة تحريفها إلى براهين جرائم. ولا أحد مخلص بالإبداع لأنه يساوي الانتحار، فقد تدهورت الكلمات إلى انتقادات نظامية وأحكام.

气候稍稍回暖以后，不必穿得那么厚，泥土也变软了，友好地保存你的鞋印，就像苗要从缝里钻出，创造性在这个阶段也是靠它的多义与暧昧甩掉追踪的尾巴，面对指控也可以自我辩护，好比巧妙的示爱，遭拒后并不丢脸。

أصبح الجو أحرّ الآن، ولذلك لم نعد نحتاج إلى الجوارب السميكة كما أنّ التراب بات أنعم فيحفظ على بصمة قدمك. الأمر الآن مثل نبتة ضئيلة تخرج شيئاً فشيئاً من الشق. ويعتمد الإبداع في هذه المرحلة على الغموض وتعدد المعاني لكي يفرّ من الاتّهامات ويدافع على نفسه، مثلك إذا عبّرت عن حبك لشخص آخر بحيث لن تحس بالحرج إذا رفضك.

只不过，这场游戏不是爱情，谁也不知道哪块肉里有刺，不小心碰到了就痛得发火。创造力还是佯狂装醉，这对思维照样有害。李白与怀素不敢喝醉，只能在微醺中算计，这对他们来说，就失去了一切活力。

ومع ذلك فكل هذا ليس بقصة حب، ولا يعرف أحد أين تقع اللدغة. إذا كنتَ غير متيقن فستضر، ولكنك إذا تظاهرت بالجنون والسكر فسيؤذي ذلك فكرك الفني. ولو لم تجرأ لي باي وهواي سو (وهما شاعر وفنان الخط صينيان عتيقان) بالسكر لضاعت لمعتهما.

假如一个人在受酷刑，头被摁在水里，快要憋死时，可以探头吸一口气，此时呼吸是唯一主题。而到了正常呼吸的时候，呼吸却被忽视了，这个人就会去找一些别的事情消磨时间。在twitter上就是这种感觉，有创造力的新人们，在那里相会吧。

افترضْ أن أحداً يتعذب وينغمس في المياه، فيختنق وكلما تتاح له فرصة للتنفُّس، تهيمن شهوة تنفس الهواء عليه، ولما يقدر على التنفُّس باستمرار ينسى الأمر. إن العمل على تويتر يعطيني مثل هذه الأحاسيس. وإلى المبدعين والمبادرين: فلنلتق هناك.

As predicted, Palestinians blame Israel, US blames Israel, Israel blames Israel and everybody begs the Palestinians for forgiveness
» ‎ Jewlicious (israel)

So I called the Israeli government amateurish and blamed them for recent debacles relating to Israel, especially the announcement of 1600 new units in Ramat Shlomo, Jerusalem, on the eve of new peace talks with the Palestinians while US VP Biden was on a “let’s get everybody on the same page” tour of the Holy Land.

One of the points I made in the ensuing debates is that Israel snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. After a year of stalling by the Palestinians, the Israelis with a right wing government in place managed to enlighten the world that there were no peace talks because of the Palestinians, not the Israelis. The world believed and pushed the Palestinians back to the table.

Needless to say, the new construction announcement has given them a perfect excuse to avoid talks again, and allows them to put the blame on Israel. Not only can they blame Israel for the breakdown in talks, but they can retroactively claim that their previously-expressed reservations about going into talks with Israel were justified, as were their demands to halt all “settlement” construction not only in Judea and Samaria/West Bank but also in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Post tells us:

…On Friday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he and Tunisia’s leader, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, have begun to discuss how the Arab League should respond to an Israeli plan for new construction in Ramat Shlomo.

Speaking during a visit to Tunisia, Abbas said Israel’s move “got in the way of” plans to begin US-mediated indirect talks with Israel.

And the Americans are laying it on thick, trying to reclaim the supposedly deteriorated confidence of the Arabs,

In a bid to salvage those negotiations, Mitchell and the top US diplomat for the Middle East, Jeffrey Feltman, called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Arab League chief Amr Moussa and the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates over the past two days, Crowley said.

“We have reached out … to a range of leaders,” he said. “We jointly remain committed to this process, acknowledging that, obviously, it is a difficult environment, given the Israeli statement.”

Boo hoo and sob! Amr Moussa’s poor old feelings must be shattered. He deserves a massage and champagne, preferably provided by an attractive US State Department employee.

Of course, one US government female employee isn’t available to provide this service to Mr. Moussa and his cronies. She’s busy yelling at Netanyahu.

The US State Department said Clinton spoke to Netanyahu by phone for 43 minutes to vent US frustration with Tuesday’s announcement that cast a pall over a visit to Israel by US Vice President Joe Biden and endangered the indirect peace talks with the Palestinians that the Obama administration had announced just a day earlier.

Clinton called “to make clear that the United States considered the announcement to be a deeply negative signal about Israel’s approach to the bilateral relationship and counter to the spirit of the vice president’s trip,” department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters.

“The secretary said she could not understand how this happened, particularly in light of the United States’ strong commitment to Israel’s security and she made clear that the Israeli government needed to demonstrate not just through words but through specific actions that they are committed to this relationship and to the peace process,” he said.

43 minutes!!! Clinton yelled at him for 43 minutes! You’d think he was given oral sex by Monica Lewinsky.

Well, actually, this is worse. Nobody in Israel can claim to have enjoyed blissful physical pleasure by announcing the construction on that particular day. I mean, Bill Clinton can at least explain what happened by alluding to the loneliness of being President, the need to have his ego massaged, the type of mid-life crisis many men go through at that age and the fact that except in some authors’ or screenwriters’ active imaginations, it really is unusual to have a woman agree to provide oral sex under the desk like a good little servant while the man is on the phone doing business.

Forty three minutes of yelling would seem fair under those circumstances. Netanyahu, of course, must be pretty pissed off since he got the 43 minutes of yelling, but received no reward. In fact, he must be pretty afraid at this point that the Americans will force another Wye Accords-type agreement down this throat, just as they did in 1998 when he agreed to remove Israeli forces from key areas of Judea and Samaria/West Bank.

Hmmmm…how to repay Netanyahu for all of the pressure and yelling coming at him from the Americans?

Hey, I know! Let’s get Eli Yishai, the minister whose ministry announced the construction right in the middle of Biden’s visit, to repay him somehow. Repay with something that’s worth 43 minutes of berating by Hillary.

Rabbi Pruzansky, Orthopraxy, and Rabbahs
» ‎ Jewlicious (israel)

Rabbi Steven Pruzansky & Maharat Sara Hurwitz

In this week’s issue of The Jewish Press, Rabbi Steven Pruzansky wrote, in his “The Rise of Orthopraxy”, that

while Orthodoxy literally means “correct belief” but in actuality encompasses an entire range of thought and behavior that is regulated by Torah, Orthopraxy (”correct action”) is much more limited in scope, requiring only the adherence to certain behavioral norms without any semblance of philosophical commitment to the system from which such behavioral norms emerged.

And further describes them as

an informal, incognito group of unknown size and scope who, for the most part, practice halachic norms but do not really believe in God (or that He chose us as the nation that would carry His moral message to mankind) or understand what they are doing. They might not even believe in the divine origin of the Torah, but identify themselves with the Orthodox community for social, ethnic, cultural or even aesthetic reasons.

In the course of his article, he argues against Orthoprax’ outward practices but otherwise empty inner spiritual life. What Rabbi Pruzansky engages is a polemic against such an modus operandi and further describes Orthopraxy as something that “transcends all the traditional (and artificial) divisions in Orthodox life. It compasses right wing and left wing, modern, centrist and yeshivish, haredi and non-haredi alike.” Rabbi Pruzansky aims to prod the Orthoprax in the world towards better standards of behavior as well as thought. However, it could also come as detrimental to pushing those who are within the Orthoprax camp to feeling bad about their observance. Granted, there are plenty of places in North America where having Jews be Orthoprax is a higher level of observance than they would otherwise have been. Moreover, there is also a danger of תפסת מרובה לא תפסת תפסת מועט תפסת* – that is, some Orthoprax that may feel that it’s not for them, and not try to also develop inner Jewish beliefs, etc.
As to his proposed solution to his developing a problematic, he says

How do we triumph over Orthopraxy and reconnect our divine service to God? We can – must – infuse our mitzvot with a recognition of their divine imperative by returning to fundamentals. We should study ourselves, and teach our children, not only “how” we do things but also “why.” We all must learn the details of the mitzvot – from Shabbat to Pesach, from kashrut to monetary integrity, from the laws of Chanukah to the laws of Tisha B’Av – but also the framework of those mitzvot, how they combine to create a faithful, moral, decent servant of Hashem.

The one problem with this solution is that the answer consists of learning הלכה (Jewish way, practices) and not השקפה (Jewish outlooks) and, for someone who is not that familiar with Orthodox thought, is not tremendously helpful. In any event, I like הלכה and I’m all for studying it, but that may be an unsatisfactory solution for this issue of Rabbi Pruzansky’s.
Neverthless, Rabbi Pruzansky throws in the following:

Orthopraxy underlies such phenomena as the female clergy, the Partnership Minyanim (in which women chant portions of the davening, and a quorum of both ten men and ten women are needed to begin services), and the integration of Christians into special worship services.

Although I have no idea as to what Rabbi Pruzansky when he mentions “the integration of Christians into special worship services”, “female clergy” is nothing more than a reference to Maharat Hurwitz, who has been in the news lately, as a title change to Rabba(h) was proposed and then taken back by Rabbi Avi Weiss along with the development of Yeshivat Maharat. “Partnership minyanim” are what they sound like. As to the latter two topics, Rabbi Pruzansky clearly does not understand that these are not Orthoprax inventions. Granted, they are not typical Orthodox institutions, nevertheless, that is not what underlies them. For Jewishly-learned women aspiring to roles whereby they can use their personalities and Torah knowledge to serve our people, involves many factors, the primary of which is sociological. Since there are these תלמידות חכמים (learned Jewish women) who are ready, able, and willing to spread their Jewish wisdom, are they supposed to just sit on their knowledge and not work in the Jewish communal field? When I lived in New York, I knew several young ladies who were disappointed that after studying for years, they couldn’t go further with their training and had to go into teaching science or become librarians, etc. Granted, on the other hand, I can understand the uncomfortability that some of our fellow Orthodox brethren feel regarding such a move, with such a change. In fact, while I was an undergraduate student working on an anthropology paper with another student on women rabbis, I came up with a rough draft of an introduction that would explain why women should not be rabbis (the paper did not include this introduction).
As to partnership minyanim, they hew to halakhah, albeit with debate on how certain issues of halakhah are understood. Interestingly, Rabbi Pruzansky elsewhere points out that “it is surprising to see that many ModOs are such textual fanatics” – that is there is such a careful looking at halakhah amongst us Modern Orthodox. Now, this falls into the precise suggestion of his quoted above that “we should study ourselves, and teach our children, not only ‘how’ we do things but also ‘why.’ We all must learn the details of the mitzvot….” This is what the Modern Orthodox do – investigate halakhah. However, apparently, learning halakhah is not sufficient for Rabbi Pruzansky, as he describes in the latter piece, that some things are just meta-halakhic issues….
