Tout est là pour montrer et même exagérer ce qui se passe en Iran. Rien ne doit être loupé. Les manifestants, les cris, les flammes, les motos brûlées, les édifices saccagés, les heurts entre manifestants et policiers... bref, tous les ingrédients à une bonne mise en scène à l’américaine sont là. Que veulent-ils par là ?

S’ils veulent simplement informer, cette information a dépassé toutes les normes. Elle est devenue, comme nous en ont habitués certains médias, une guerre plus qu’une information et rien, absolument rien, ne justifie pourquoi des chaînes en font leur info préférée, du matin au... matin.

S’ils veulent s’inscrire en défenseur des démocraties (il faut utiliser le pluriel pour bien marquer la différence qui n’a jamais aussi fortement existé), et comme l’ont si bien signalé d’autres, il fallait faire la même chose lorsque la démocratie fut piétinée à Nouakchott. Il fallait crier au scandale, oeuvrer pour un blocus, militer pour sauvegarder les restes d’une démocratie en panne parce que, et c’est ce qu’ignorent ou font semblant d’ignorer les Occidentaux, à chaque fois qu’une démocratie est violée ou violentée quelque part dans le monde, c’est leur propre régime, leur manière de voir, leurs idéaux, leurs repères qui sont frappés. Il ne fallait surtout pas se taire au moment du putsch de Mauritanie pour venir aujourd’hui faire la pleureuse au chevet de la démocratie.

S’ils veulent manifester leur soutien aux droits de l’homme à Téhéran, disons simplement que ce qui se passe à Téhéran ne veut rien dire sur ce plan-là. Du moins pas devant ce qu’est en train de vivre le peuple palestinien à Ghaza où les aides humanitaires n’entrent que selon le bon vouloir des bourreaux israéliens. Ni ciment, ni bois, ni autres matériaux de construction ne sont tolérés aux passages qui demeurent fermés à une longue liste de produits si nécessaires pourtant. De quels droits de l’homme peut-on parler à Téhéran lorsqu’on tourne le dos à Ghaza ?

Parce que les droits de l’homme sont indivisibles, universels et indifférents aux races, aux rites, aux endroits, aux religions... il est déplacé qu’on justifie la campagne médiatique qui se focalise sur l’Iran par les droits de l’homme alors que, à Ghaza, on se tait, on ne dit rien sur ce que font les Israéliens et... certains Arabes.

Que Ahmadinejad remporte les présidentielles ou quelqu’un d’autre, cela ne peut être ni un problème de démocratie, ni un problème de droits de l’homme. C’est tout juste une information à donner avant de repartir pour... Ghaza où des innocents continuent de souffrir du silence de la communauté internationale plus que des Israéliens eux-mêmes.

    (Larnaca, 1 July 2009) Yesterday, the Israeli Navy boarded the Free Gaza Movement boat, SPIRIT OF HUMANITY and kidnapped the 21 human rights activists, humanitarian workers and activists on their way to Gaza. As of today, none of them have had the right to see an attorney even though they came to the detention center to see them.

    The Free Gaza Movement is calling for their release and the release of our boat, seized in international waters off the coast of Gaza as our SPOT locator clearly shows.

    But more importantly, twenty-one internationals can get headlines. What about the 11,000 Palestinians who languish in jail, many of them tortured. We will update you on the status of our kidnapped passengers and our impounded boat, but who will do the same for the Palestinians and their boats ?

    We will insist that Israel stop interfering with our voyages to Gaza, since they do not have the right ; legal or moral, to enforce a siege that collectively punishes 1.5 million Palestinians.

    Our demand is that our passengers re-board the boat and continue on to the port in Gaza, so we can deliver the building supplies and the humanitarian supplies that we loaded and inspected by the Cypriot authorities.

      GENEVA - The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Richard Falk, denounced the unlawful naval seizure by an Israeli gunboat on the high seas of a ship carrying medicine and reconstruction material to blockaded people of Gaza.

      “This Israeli action implements its cruel blockade of the entire Palestinian population of Gaza, in violation of Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that prohibits any form of collective punishment directed at an occupied people”, said the human rights expert.

      Mr. Falk pointed to a recent report on the impact on health resulting from the two year blockade, issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross, stressing that Israeli actions not only restrict such vital supplies as food, medicine, and fuel to bare subsistence levels, but has in unprecedented fashion, disallowed the entry to Gaza of building materials and spare parts needed for repairing some of the widespread damage caused by its attacks on the Strip that took place for 22 days starting on December 27, 2008.

      “Such a pattern of continuing blockade under these conditions amounts to such a serious violation of the Geneva Conventions as to constitute a continuing crime against humanity”, added the independent human rights expert.

      The boat in question had been inspected in response to Israeli demands before departure by the port authorities in Cyprus to determine whether there were weapons on board. None were found, and Israeli authorities were so informed.

      Nonetheless, the 21 peace activists on the boat were arrested, held in captivity, and have been charged with ‘illegal entry’ to Israel even though they had no intention of going to Israel. The group included such prominent figures as the Irish winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Mairead Maguire, and the former American congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
