Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.
Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.
Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.
Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.
Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.
Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.
La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.
Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.
Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.
Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

Today, a coalition of legal and media experts officially launched a campaign to file 100 lawsuits in 100 days against the Israeli entity and its personnel over documented war crimes committed during this war on South Lebanon.
The initiative aims to transform evidence of agression against Lebanese people with dual citizenship into legal action, pursuing accountability mainly through international courts, and ensuring that these documented crimes do not disappear into political silence.
"This is not just documentation. It is the beginning of a sustained legal battle." According to Dr. Jad Melki (@jmelki) one of the main organizers.
Many politicians and public figures did participate in the initiative.
This is very important politically also, as people are stating by this that they will not be abiding by the new framework agreement that the collaborator authorities signed with the Israeli enemy, and it gives away the right of Lebanese people to pursue legal actions against Israeli criminals.
Watch a summary report below followed by a part of a short film documenting some of the war atrocities.
The campaign will have another gathering tomorrow to set the final decisions and plans.
The latest IDF map of southern Lebanon, a so-called Gaza-type “yellow zone”, isn’t new.
It’s almost identical to the proposed “Trump Economic Zone”, a plan tied to Gulf funding, reconstruction money, and a reshaping of southern Lebanon - in reality a blueprint for ethnic cleaning, a Gaza 2.0
Last year and into this I made numerous films, speaking to the people who the land belongs to, a people whose voices were being ignored as if it was just some large real estate project.
Reports on the Trump Economic Zone spoke of up to 27 villages being permanently “depopulated” - a polite term for ethnically cleansed.
According to MP Jamil al-Sayyed under the plans:
“Lebanon must grant Israel the right to remain inside 14 villages and to fully or partially evacuate their residents.”
Villages demanded in full:
Odaisseh
Kfar Kila
Houla
Markaba
Aita al-Shaab
Villages targeted for military sites:
Khiam
Ramiya
Yaroun
Aitaroun
Alma al-Shaab
Al-Dhayra
Marwahin
Maroun al-Ras
Blida
It was announced and hailed by US envoy Tom Barrack who said: “A peace deal with I$rael is a path to prosperity and peace”
But whose peace and whose prosperity?
Well now it’s clear whose as we see the main prize included in this latest “map”; the Qana gas field.
This isn’t just another offshore block.
Qana is potentially one of Lebanon’s most valuable natural assets — with estimates around 100 billion cubic metres of gas.
We’re not talking small money. The Qana gas field is potentially transformative for Lebanon. Revenues were once predicted to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
So it’s clear that this is about occupation, land grabs and extraction of Lebanon’s wealth. For Tel Aviv it’s the Greater I$rael Project writ large and the long coveted “security zone” while for the US, as always, it’s about profit and regional control.
We saw it in the 1980s. Promises of roads, jobs, infrastructure and prosperity, policed by the South Lebanese Army with I$raeli backing. It’s the same plan rehashed using different language.
Back then it was opposed by the Lebanese state, refusing to accept the SLA as a legitimate authority and deeming the land occupied territory. While it signed an “agreement” on May 27 1983 it collapsed under mass opposition across many factions and layers of society before being annulled in 1984.
And now? Well history seems to be repeating itself with the current set of “negotiations” opposed by many, although supported by some.
But the main beneficiaries of the current situation are the same; Tel Aviv and Washington while once again the people who the land belongs to, the ones whose towns, homes and futures are being reduced to dots on a map by the forces of imperialism, are not deemed worthy of being part of the conversation.
In case anyone is confused about what this is:
This illegal Israeli occupation map includes the sea, coincidentally where Lebanon’s gas and oil fields are.
This is and always has been a land and resources grab.
Ahhhh shiiiiieeeeeettttttt
The new Lego banger just dropped.

🔴 FLASH INFO | Israël Pratique des méthodes nazis !
Humiliation et violence :
Les palestiniens sont transportés de force dans des camions poubelles par les sionistes israéliens.
L'horreur n'en finit pas pour les palestiniens !
60 Palestinians were being transported by the Israel Defense Forces in a garbage truck; Israel is oppressing innocent Palestinians, and the world remains silent.

Please note that the Israeli ambassador to Italy does not say that the picture is fake. He simply does not like what the media is showing about his country, which perhaps explains why Israel has killed hundreds of journalists. This is not an opinion; this is reality.
🇻🇦🕊️ FLASH | Le pape s'est exprimé avec force lors d'une veillée de prière pour la paix à la basilique Saint-Pierre : “Assez avec l’idolâtrie de soi-même et de l’argent ! Assez avec la démonstration de force ! Assez avec la guerre ! La véritable force se manifeste dans le service de la vie.”
Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
