🚨Nicholas Kristof, grand reporter au New York Times, signe une enquête qui va faire mal. Très mal. Sa question finale, il l'emprunte à Netanyahu lui-même, celle que le Premier ministre israélien lançait au monde après le 7 octobre : « Where the hell are you ? » Aujourd'hui, Kristof la lui retourne. Et elle tombe comme un couperet.

L'article est accablant. Des Palestiniens, hommes, femmes, enfants, sont violés systématiquement par des soldats, des colons, des gardiens de prison. Des viols avec des matraques, des carottes, des bâtons. Des chiens dressés pour pénétrer des détenus. Des hommes qui urinent du sang après qu'on leur ait ligoté les testicules. Des femmes dénudées, battues, giflées, présentées comme un trophée à chaque relève de garde. Des enfants menacés qu'on leur enfonce un bâton dans le cul s'ils ne coopèrent pas.

Ce n'est pas une exception. C'est une politique. Un rapport de l'ONU parle de « procédure opérationnelle standard ». Une pratique généralisée, encouragée par l'impunité totale. Ben-Gvir traite les détenus de « raclures » et « nazis ». Netanyahu qualifie les poursuites contre des soldats violeurs de « blood libel » et les réhabilite. Et les États-Unis ? Ils appellent ça 'de simples allégations'. Allégations. Qu'ils aillent dire ça aux enfants qui ont vu des chiens les monter.

La question de Netanyahu, « Where the hell are you ? », Kristof la retourne : où étiez-vous pour les Palestiniens ? Où sont les condamnations ? Où sont les sanctions ? Où sont les ambassadeurs qui se déplacent avec des caméras ? Où sont les suspensions d'aide militaire ?

Nulle part. Parce que les victimes ne sont pas les bonnes. Parce qu'être Palestinien, c'est être une victime de seconde zone. Parce que l'Occident a choisi son camp, celui du violeur plutôt que du violé.

Et bien sûr, la hasbara est aux abois. « l’article le plus antisémite des temps modernes ». Leur seul argument : crier au loup pour qu'on ne regarde pas leurs monstres. Mais les victimes, elles, ne crient pas. Elles saignent.

The bullying is out of control. People need to stand up to it finally and call it out for what it is.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

The attacks levelled at @NickKristof for him column are almost unprecedented. He’s been accused of ‘blood libel’, unsubstantiated alleged smears by NYT staff and a huge online pile-on. At this point @nytimes needs to stand by its journalism and issue a statement in support of Kristof.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

Pakistan is "whitewashing" its image on the world stage in its role as an intermediary in ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the United States, says son of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Sulaiman.

Khan’s sons are seeking permission to visit their dad in Pakistan, following a Supreme Court disclosure that he has suffered significant vision loss in his right eye while in custody.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

This is a moment of extreme danger for civilians in Iran and the wider region.

For President Trump to threaten that 'a whole civilisation will die tonight' echoes genocidal language.

The UK government must urgently end military support to the US that could enable crimes under international law, including war crimes.

Amnesty International is unequivocal: threatening to systematically destroy civilian infrastructure is a threat to commit war crimes.

Attacking power plants essential to the survival of tens of millions of civilians would be unlawful.

The UK must act now.

I’m so deeply grateful for this @British_Airways crew on BA560 today, who were angels when I got scared because of bad weather turbulence. Ditto the (literal) Samaritan I was lucky enough to be seated beside (as well as the kind man who moved to allow me to sit nearer the crew). I had a very bad flying experience in the past when our BA flight was hijacked In an attempted suicide crash - and I still sometimes lose my nerve today when it gets bumpy. I took an unwise combo of pills & shots (needs must) when they announced we would be flying through stormy weather, so I can’t remember anyone’s names except Ally, but I really hope someone knows them so they they can pass on my deepest thanks and appreciation to these wonderful, kind human beings who really helped me when I was very stressed. 🙏🏼❤️ (still a bit groggy!)

Unicef says more than 370,000 children have been displaced from their homes in Lebanon - as Israeli strikes continue - and said around 120 children had been killed.

Unicef's representative in the country said there was no safe space for people to go - even in the capital Beirut.

In the House of Lords, multiple peers raised concerns about the detention and well-being of @ImranKhanPTI a clear sign that the issue is gaining serious international attention.

Pakistan Form-47 puppet government are spreading a completely fake story that Imran Khan’s son called for suspension of Pakistan’s GSP+ at a UN forum — something he never said. Even Kasim khan himself clearly denied and Dawn knew and many other media have already called this fake news. Yet ministers and some paid anchors keep pushing this lie. They are not discrediting Imran Khan — they are exposing themselves and becoming a joke. More power to you @Kasim_Khan_1999

[Mirza Shahzad Akbar @ShazadAkbar]

Thanks for clarifying that federal Information minister is spreading ‘disinformation’

[EuroPak Association @Euro_Pak_Org]

At the UN, @Kasim_Khan_1999 warned of growing intolerance and systematic persecution in Pakistan, citing the prolonged detention of @ImranKhanPTI in harsh conditions. He called on the international community to act and press for the release of all political prisoners. #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained

[Dawn.com @dawn_com]

At a UNHRC session, Kasim said Imran’s case was not an “isolated incident”. In fact, he claimed, it was the “most visible example of a much wider pattern of repression in Pakistan since 2022”.
