[Jean Quatremer @quatremer]

"Canceled" ou si vous préférez "effacé" par le gouvernement français en raison de mon combat contre l'antisémitisme, je ne pensais pas connaitre ça en 2026 !

Je devais faire une conférence ce matin devant une soixantaine de hauts dirigeants qui suivent le "cycle supérieur du développement durable" (CSDD) dirigé par Guillaume Leforestier qui dépend du Ministre de la transition écologique, Monique Barbut (aucun des deux n'a de compte X). Sujet: les résistances internes des institutions communautaires au détricotage du Green deal. Tout était calé depuis fin avril.

Vendredi, je reçois un appel de l'une des responsables de la session de formation de ce mardi: une sous-directrice (je ne sais pas qui en dépit de mes demandes) lui a demandé d'annuler ma conférence à cause de la polémique initiée par LFI qui n'a pas supporté que je publie sur ma page FB personnelle, le 29 mai, le mural de @PalomboArtist représentant Hitler portant un keffieh et un brassard "hate". La fonctionnaire, "très peinée" selon mon interlocutrice, craignait que ma seule présence provoque une polémique parmi les étudiants (qui payent). Alors même que ce n'était absolument pas le sujet de la conférence: on me fait payer mes engagements.

Autrement dit, le fait que je combatte l'antisémitisme devenu virulent depuis le 7/10 et que je déplaise à l'écosystème éléfiste est considéré par le gouvernement @SebLecornu comme un problème. Jusque-là la "canceled culture" touchait des évènements privés ou des universités qui expulsaient des juifs parce que juifs. Cette fois-ci, on franchit un seuil: c'est directement une formation gérée par un ministre de la République qui efface un supposé "complice des génocidaires", une expression chère à LFI. Autant pour la liberté d'expression garantie par la Constitution française.

J'ai évidemment demandé que la fonctionnaire ayant pris cette décision m'envoie un mail confirmant cette annulation. Elle l'a envoyé, mais pas à moi directement. Les responsables de la formation me l'ont communiqué sans signature (les pauvres chéris n'assument pas) : "les raisons" de l'annulation, lit-on, sont "techniques". C'est tellement le cas que le mail indique : "je vous remercie d'assurer l'information auprès de Mr Quatremer, de gérer les suites et en gérant également la confidentialité liées aux agents de l'Etat". Quelqu'un a oublié que l'on ne pouvait contraindre au silence un journaliste (surtout moi).

J'ai joint le cabinet de la ministre, Monique Barbut, et je n'ai eu aucun retour pour l'instant.

Cet enchainement de petites lâchetés, de peurs, de volonté de complaire à l'idéologie supposé dominante du moment me rappelle une période historique, mais laquelle?

[Maarten Boudry @mboudry]

HOAX! Ik heb een parodietekst geschreven onder het pseudoniem "An Van Raemdonk" en naar @Knack opgestuurd.

Het is een parodie op de islamapologie van regressief-linkse academici. De stelling: iedereen die zich zorgen maakt over intolerantie en islam is "racistisch en islamofoob", want de islam is juist een "mentale en spirituele buffer en krachtbron". Ze publiceerden het zowaar!😆

U had het kunnen weten: de gratuite beschuldigingen van racisme aan adres van @Ruud_Koop_mans, de idiote uitsmijter dat alleen "links" onderzoek "betrouwbaar en goed" kan zijn, het dwangmatige gebruik van aanhalingstekens rond 'fundamentalisme', 'moslims' en 'integratie'. En uiteraard zonder enige bron of argument!

Fijn om ook eens mezelf te kunnen demoniseren: "Op de aantijgingen van Boudry kan ik niet ingaan. De man is een fervente en kritiekloze supporter van een genocidaire apartheidspolitiek." 😆

Ik dacht dat de parodie te extreem zou zijn, maar @Knack trapte erin!

@Sargon_of_Akkad wanted to link to the interview u did with Erin Pizzey, but it's gone? A damn shame if so, one one of the most impressive things I've ever heard. Never left my mind.

[Jeroen  Klomp, rugged individual @Klompzz]

This woman is a frikkin heroin. Deserves every medal available.

But what's also interesting is how a bunch of middle-class radfems ruined it all, almost destroyed Pizzey. They were relentless. Why? She didn't toe to the ideological line.

These days she's a MRA btw.

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

November 1971. Chiswick, West London.
Erin Pizzey is 32 years old. She is not a lawyer. Not a politician. Not a doctor.
She is a woman who talked Hounslow Council into lending her a cold, rundown building on Belmont Road — a former community hall — for almost nothing. Her original plan was modest. A warm room. A cup of tea. Somewhere for mothers with young children to simply get out of the house.
Then the door opened.
A woman stood in the entrance. She was covered, head to foot, in bruises. She was holding two small children. She was shaking.
She didn't want tea.
She needed somewhere to hide.
Erin let her in. She didn't turn her away. She didn't tell her to call the police.
Because Erin had already called the police. They told her the same thing they told every woman in Britain at the time: they could not enter a private home over a "domestic dispute." That was the law. The home was private. What happened inside it was a family matter.
When Erin contacted a female civil servant to report what she was seeing, the response was astonishing. The woman told her flatly: "There wasn't a problem of battered wives until you made one."
Erin put down the phone. Then she went back to her residents and made sure they were fed.
Within weeks, 40 mothers and children were sleeping in four tiny rooms. No funding. No staff. No legal authority.
She didn't stop.
By 1973, word had spread through quiet whisper networks — one woman telling another, "There is a place. Go to Chiswick. She won't turn you away." That same year, Erin hosted the first National Women's Aid Conference in the UK. Women from across Britain arrived, and they all recognized the same thing at once: what she had built needed to exist everywhere.
In 1974, the council set a maximum of 36 residents. At peak times, 150 women and children were living inside those walls — sleeping on floors, on chairs, in hallways. The building smelled of cooking, fear, and something else entirely: relief.
Erin was taken to court for overcrowding. She appealed all the way to the House of Lords.
She kept the doors open the entire time.
That same year, she wrote a book. Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. It was the first published account of domestic violence in British history. It used real stories from real women inside the shelter. Overnight, a problem that had no official name was on front pages from London to New York.
The movement spread. Refuges opened across the UK. Then Australia. Then Canada. Then the United States. The pattern she created in four small rooms in West London — no blueprint, no permission, no funding — had been replicated in hundreds of shelters across the Western world.
MP Jack Ashley stood up in Parliament and said: "It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical."
She was ranked 14th in a poll of the 100 women who shook the world. She was awarded the Italian Peace Prize. She received a CBE. The charity she founded — Chiswick Women's Aid, which became Refuge — grew into the largest domestic violence charity in the United Kingdom, with over 460 employees and an annual income of more than £33 million.
Erin Pizzey passed away on October 4, 2025, aged 86.
She never stopped.
It all began with one woman, one borrowed building, and an absolute refusal to say no.
Forty women and children showed up with nowhere to go.
She made room.

Share this if you believe one ordinary person, refusing to look away, can build a shelter that holds the whole world.

And it is meaningful. And it shows something. It connects. It makes people stronger.

I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.

What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.

GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.

[Hussein Aboubakr Mansour @HusseinAboubak]

"No nation can claim anti-Semitism as its particular property. It is not the residue of some specific form of ignorance. It can appeal to any society that has lost the meaning by which it had once lived and gone in search of another, and the conditions under which it flowers are not those of material poverty but of spiritual poverty. Neither education, nor freedom, nor technology can insulate against it. Indeed, the very conditions that have left America vulnerable are the products of its freedoms and its economic and technological advancement: the severing of attachments, the attenuating of traditional moral restraints, and the atomization of the individual. These conditions are perhaps not so different from those experienced by countries like Egypt during their rapid and chaotic entry into modernity in 20th century. But no one fortifies himself against a fate he is certain lies beneath him."

To surmise, Irish people hate Israel enough to be willing to boycott - even if it jeopardises billions in FDI and the operation multinationals (such as Intel) in Ireland.

HOWEVER, Ireland does not support Ukraine enough or loathe Putin enough to stop supplying the Russian war machine with alumina exports.

YET, we delude ourselves into thinking our foreign policy is based on some warped sense of morality.

Nations who have the luxury of not having had to defend themselves from external threats, and who have been able to solely chase economic gain, should be aware of their privilege and not be so quick to lecture others.
