@le20hfrancetele Il a le mérite de ne pas mentir aux français qui en france vont tellement morfler après les élections, check 2008 en Espagne, et au Portugal, les français vont déguster ds un climat en plus de guerre
HOUTHIES ATTACK THE CITY OF MECCA 🕋
As a religious person I am shocked and horrified by the targeting of the city of Mecca 🇸🇦 by the Ayatollahs of Iran and their Houthie proxy.
This heinous attack must be condemned as should the missiles the Islamic Republic of Iran fired at the Al Aqsa Mosque, the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in February, 2026.
The hypocrisy of Israel's enemies claiming to care about Islam while they side with a regime that bombs Mecca and Jerusalem cannot be overstated.
The Jewish people and Zionists around the world stand firm in the demand to respect holy religions sites, even as our enemies keep attacking those.
El actor israelí Ilan Amedi, de la serie Fauda resultó gravemente herido en combate en Gaza (sí, van todos, incluso los actores).
Se sometió a una rehabilitación intensiva y recuperó su fuerza física.
7 candidats à la Présidentielle étaient présents à la réunion géopolitique d'Emmanuel Macron. Comme d'habitude, ce sont les 2 candidats d'extrême-droite et d'extrême-gauche qui ont snobé la rencontre. Ils démontrent, une fois de plus, leur manque de dimension et leur incapacité à diriger le pays...
#BoyGeorge 👉 @ruthelkrief sur l’intervention de @CarolineFourest : « Je suis assez bluffée par son courage parce qu’il n’a aucun intérêt direct. Il n’a que des inconvénients à faire ça. Et d’ailleurs, moi, j’en profite pour rendre hommage à tous ceux qui ne sont pas directement concernés, dans leurs vies, dans leurs identités, par les attaques qui seraient contre eux, et qui prennent des positions comme ça. D’une certaine façon, ils font preuve d’un courage qu’on pourrait comparer à celui des Justes d’une autre époque. » #24hPujadas
This video still hits me every time I watch it. It’s one of the most moving and emotional videos of a live broadcast I’ve ever watched.
Lucy Aharish, an Arab Israeli news anchor for Channel 13, in the days after October 7, with country still on fire, and yet she just switched into English mid-broadcast and talked to the world like this is her home. Because it is.
She even apologized for doing it. “I’m sorry I’m using the microphone like this. As a journalist it’s the only weapon I have.”
Then she said OUR beloved country is under attack. Hamas is a terror organization. Not a government. Not a leadership. They murdered babies and children and old people and women and men in their beds. Kidnapped them. They fired rockets at civilians.
She didn’t spend one second making the story about being Arab. She said WE. Left, right, religious, secular, Jews, Christians, Druze, Muslims, people who came from everywhere. It’s the same fight. OUR lives. OUR kids.
Yes Israel argues. Every country argues. That doesn’t mean we don’t protect this place.
Then she went after the ones who still wouldn’t condemn it. “Imagine Saturday morning. Kids asleep next to you. Sirens. And suddenly some terrorist is in the house murdering your family in front of you. Can you imagine that? Look into our eyes. Stand with us.”
A lot of people were very careful that week. But she wasn’t. And that’s why I still play it.
En 2004, André Glucksmann résumait déjà tout sur le terrorisme palestinien et des mouvements politiques occidentaux qui surfent dessus
(ce qui rend d’autant plus incompréhensible l’attitude de son fils, il aura fallu que Mélenchon l’insulte pour qu’il comprenne)

è ufficiale, la Russia ha cercato di uccidere Boris Johnson, Carl Bildt (l'ex Primo Ministro svedese), il Consigliere per la Sicurezza Nazionale del Regno Unito Jonathan Powell e consiglieri per la sicurezza di diversi Stati membri dell'Unione Europea.
Secondo le ricostruzioni questi si sarebbero salvati solo perché, per ulteriore sicurezza, il treno era stato fatto partire prima.
Se il treno fosse partito nell'orario previsto, la Russia avrebbe ucciso l'ex Primo Ministro del Regno Unito, l'ex Primo Ministro della Svezia e i consiglieri per la sicurezza nazionale di diversi Stati membri della NATO.
Se non è una linea rossa questa, cosa può esserlo? L'Inghilterra a questo punto dovrebbe reagire, duramente e senza esitazioni, a questo chiaro atto di guerra.
Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci removing her chador during her tense 1979 interview with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Qom, Iran...
In October 1979, Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci traveled to Qom, Iran, to interview the Islamic Revolution's supreme leader. To get inside the room, Fallaci was forced to cover herself from head to toe in a heavy black chador, leaving only her face visible.
The conversation inside the room was tense from the very start. Fallaci did not hold back her questions.
She pushed the Ayatollah on political executions, the sudden shutdown of independent newspapers, and the sharp loss of rights for Iranian women under the new regime.
When she asked about the forced wearing of the veil, Khomeini dismissed her concerns and claimed the garment was meant to protect young and respectable women. He then added,
"If you do not like the Islamic dress, you are not obliged to wear it."
Fallaci took his words literally and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Imam. Since you tell me so, I am taking it off right now."
With a quick move, she pulled the chador off her head, leaving her hair completely exposed right in front of the Supreme Leader.
Khomeini was furious.
He stood up without saying another word and walked out of the room. The room fell silent, and the interview was abruptly stopped. However, Fallaci refused to leave Iran until he returned a day later to finish the conversation.
This confrontation became legendary in the history of journalism.
It showed a reporter refusing to bow down to authority, even in one of the most dangerous settings imaginable.
Fallaci proved that real journalism requires standing up to power, asking hard questions, and refusing to be silenced by fear or tradition.
When journalists trade raw courage for easy access and comfortable silence, we lose one of our strongest shields against tyranny.
In an era where true courage in reporting feels rare, her brave stand reminds us that honest journalism still has the power to light up the dark, giving a voice to the voiceless and inspiring future generations to speak truth without fear.

@Cdanslair@jpalomeos@gallaghereport Mais évidemment faut écraser la Russie de Poutine et utiliser les avoirs russes pour investir ds l’armée ukrainienne et européenne, mais que fait l’Europe !!! Heureusement qu’il y’a la Pologne !
🗳️🏛️ Socrate avait prévenu que la démocratie était dangereuse car les foules préfèrent le confort à la Vérité...
Il n’a jamais écrit un seul livre. Pourtant, plus de 2 400 ans plus tard, sa critique de la démocratie continue de poser une question profondément dérangeante.
Pour lui, le problème n’était pas simplement de donner une voix au peuple. Le problème était de considérer que toutes les opinions se valent lorsqu’il s’agit de prendre des décisions complexes.
L’expert et l’ignorant disposent du même vote. Celui qui a consacré sa vie à comprendre un sujet pèse, dans l’urne, exactement autant que celui qui n’en connaît presque rien.
Socrate et Platon illustrent cette idée avec une analogie particulièrement simple : si vous êtes gravement malade, vous n’organisez pas un vote pour choisir votre traitement. Vous cherchez un médecin. Quelqu’un qui possède les connaissances, l’expérience et la compétence nécessaires.
Alors pourquoi imaginer que gouverner une cité serait différent ?
Car il existe un autre problème, peut-être encore plus dangereux : la vérité n’est pas toujours populaire.
Une foule ne récompense pas nécessairement celui qui a raison. Elle peut récompenser celui qui parle le mieux. Celui qui rassure. Celui qui promet. Celui qui transforme des problèmes extrêmement complexes en réponses simples et séduisantes.
Et c’est à ce moment précis que la démocratie devient vulnérable à la démagogie du peuple.
Un orateur suffisamment charismatique peut jouer sur la peur, la colère, l’ego ou l’espoir. Il peut dire exactement ce que les gens veulent entendre et battre quelqu’un de beaucoup plus compétent simplement parce que son discours procure davantage de confort.
La popularité peut alors remplacer la compétence.
L’émotion remplacer la réflexion. La persuasion remplacer la vérité.
Et l’histoire de Socrate se termine par une ironie presque parfaite.
L’homme qui passa sa vie à questionner les certitudes, à pousser les autres à réfléchir et à défendre l’examen critique de nos propres convictions fut lui-même condamné à mort à Athènes à l’issue d’un procès décidé par des citoyens-jurés.
Il faut évidemment replacer cette démocratie athénienne dans son époque : elle était très différente de nos démocraties représentatives modernes. Mais le mécanisme psychologique qu’il interrogeait, lui, reste troublant d’actualité.
Parce qu’au fond, sa critique nous renvoie une question beaucoup plus inconfortable que « la démocratie est-elle bonne ou mauvaise ? »
Que devient une démocratie lorsque savoir convaincre devient plus important que savoir, lorsque l’opinion devient plus puissante que la connaissance, lorsque les idéologies deviennent plus importantes que le réel et lorsque ce que nous avons envie d’entendre pour nous rassurer finit par compter davantage que ce qui est vrai ?
L’attaque de drone contre un train civil reliant l’Ukraine à la Pologne survient après l’attentat manqué de Leipzig.
Elle prouve une fois de plus que Vladimir Poutine se croit tout permis, dans le registre des dommages de guerre et des provocations.
L’Europe ne doit pas se laisser impressionner et elle doit rester unie dans une réponse ferme, seule de nature à faire comprendre à la Russie qu’elle ne doit pas aller plus loin.
Il est temps pour l’Europe de renforcer les sanctions et leur mise en œuvre et d’accroître l’aide à la résistance de l’Ukraine.
Deux pistes n’ont pas encore été explorées et méritent de l’être : l’utilisation des avoirs russes gelés, afin que la Russie paye pour les crimes qu’elle commet ; et la protection du ciel ukrainien, pour éviter les morts civils, sans devenir nous-mêmes belligérants.
C’est par la fermeté et non la complaisance que l’on forcera la Russie à prendre le chemin de la paix.
@ObsDelphi Enfin un pays d’Europe courageux et conscient de la gravité de la situation. Nous ne sommes pas ds une guerre hybride avec la Russie mais en guerre tout court
Everyone is talking about how painfully realistic FAUDA Season 5 feels. For me, it was different. Not because it felt intense, but because I know reality was worse.
I filmed this in the first days after October 7. What I saw with my own eyes was darker.
The well-known Soviet and Russian film director and writer EDUARD TOPOL (Edmond Topelberg) has written an open letter to US President Donald Trump.
"Dear Mr. President!
Dear Donald!
As the author of fifty books and a dozen films about Russia, I consider myself entitled to inform you before your meeting with Putin.
You should know that he cannot stop the war with Ukraine, even if you give him your Mar-a-Lago villa on Palm Beach, Trump Tower in New York, and a dozen of your golf clubs.
And not because he does not want to take a break from the war, but because he cannot.
Since he knows Russian history not from a textbook by Medinsky, but from the real one:
The return of Russian troops from Europe to Russia after the victory over Napoleon led to the anti-tsarist uprising of the Decembrists in 1825.
The defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War led to the revolution of 1905.
The escape of a million Russian soldiers from the Russian-German front during World War I led to the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II from the throne and the February Revolution of 1917.
The peace signed by Lenin with Germany allowed the Bolsheviks to shoot the entire royal family.
With the return of Soviet troops from Afghanistan in February 1989, the collapse of the USSR began.
Knowing this, Putin cannot end the war with Ukraine and return his troops home.
Only the possibility of leaving almost its entire army in Europe as occupation troops in May 1945 helped Stalin avoid a post-war coup.
That's why Putin dreams of occupying Ukraine, as well as the Baltics, Finland, Poland, etc., to keep his army away from Moscow.
He remembers how 525 thousand soldiers who returned from Afghanistan in 1989 turned into bandits-afghans, terrorizing the entire population of the USSR.
And he knows what will happen if one and a half million soldiers who are able to professionally kill, rob, and rape return from the Ukrainian front.
The war with Ukraine allowed Putin to get rid of two million of his most active opponents, whom he forced to flee from Russia, and the rest of the young Russian men he either drove to the front or recruited into the punitive services.
Today, any war - with Ukraine, with the Baltics, with NATO - and with anyone else - is the best way to force Russia to submit to Putin and his junta.
Unfortunately, none of your advisors will explain this to you before meeting with Putin, but you can check my arguments with Jack Matlock and Michael McFaul.
I don't want Putin, a gangster, thief, and murderer of millions of people, to continue brazenly fooling you, lying, and deceiving my President.
Of course, I'm not a military expert or a political scientist, but I'm a writer with a good memory.
I remember how Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II managed to bring the price of oil down to $9 a barrel, gave the Afghans "Stingers," and thereby stopped Moscow's capture of Afghanistan and destroyed the USSR.
If you want to stop Putin and imperial ambitions, at least half of the Russian population, you need to do the same thing—lower the price of oil to at least $25 a barrel and give Ukraine the weapons that will help it crush the aggressor.
As for your desire to establish American-Russian partnership business relations, not in words, but in practice, this can happen in a hundred years or, in general, never.
If you're interested in why, call me, I'll explain.
Respectfully,
EDWARD TOPOLE, a citizen of the USA and Israel.
