@section_bering@printempsrepub@mahjparis Le mahJ pouvait tout à fait se passer du soutien d'institutions soutiens de la politique génocidaire israélienne (pour ce qui est de la Hebrew University, c'est suffisamment documenté)
@printempsrepub@mahjparis Evitez de reproduire les informations tronquées que donnent la Licra et le MahJ, et précisez au moins que ce colloque est soutenu par deux institutions israéliennes, la Israel Science Foundation et l'université hébraïque de Jérusalem, qui voient leur logo apposé sur le programme
@marika_bret Le CICR a répondu à cette gigantesque campagne de désinformation à son encontre : tout est en ligne sur son site (mais il faut accepter l'idée que le CICR et les super-héros de Marvel ce n'est pas la même chose, ce que tout le monde n'est pas prêt à faire)
The Palmyra Hotel in Baalbek, established in 1874, is a living testament to Lebanon’s cultural heritage. Overlooking the ancient Roman ruins, this historic establishment has borne witness to over a century of history, hosting world figures like German Emperor Wilhelm II, Charles de Gaulle, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Albert Einstein, and legendary artists gracing the Baalbek Festival stage, including Joan Baez, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fairuz.
In 1998, Nina Simone herself left an unforgettable memory here, asking for a bottle of Veuve Clicquot rosé, which was scouted from the entire Beqaa Valley just for her performance. The walls of Room 27 still hold the haunting gaze of a face sketched by Jean Cocteau during his stays in 1956 and 1960, a lasting imprint of the hotel’s storied past.
Yet today, this treasure stands in the shadow of destruction, and we already went through this serious issue. Recent airstrikes have devastated the historic homes surrounding the Palmyra, leaving it shaken and scarred. Despite its resilience through Lebanon’s civil war and the 2006 conflict, the Palmyra now faces unprecedented danger. Rabih Salika, a devoted employee of over 20 years, still tends to the hotel’s creaking halls, keeping alive its memory in the face of debris and decay. But the Palmyra’s walls, once echoing with the voices of history, now hold a silence of loss, a silence that belongs not just to Lebanon, but to the entire world.
This is more than the destruction of a building; it is a wound in our shared human story, a piece of history turning to dust. The Palmyra Hotel, like Baalbek itself, is a relic of the world’s cultural fabric, holding stories and memories that transcend borders. Its suffering calls on us all to act, to protect these irreplaceable treasures, to preserve these voices of the past.
The world must not turn away, for this heritage belongs to every one of us.
