Palestine, the path to justice

The courageous initiative of the Egyptian president to organize on the October 21st for the first time a summit of this magnitude made it possible to draw two conclusions.


Palestinians - and Arabs - know now more than ever that the final decision on any solution rests with the United States. This means that if the Palestinians, under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization - manage to create a united Arab front with the support of China and the potentially favorable position of the Europeans, they can influence the United-States, so that there is a real solution. It must be remembered that in recent days, the Arab countries directly concerned - Egypt, Jordan, Palestinians - have demonstrated confidence and autonomy by inflicting a scathing snub on the American president by unanimously refusing to meet him when he specially came to the region for this purpose.


On the other hand, it is clear that the western front is less united than it appears. The affirmation of unconditional support of the United States for Israel, forcefully repeated on several occasions, reflects a state of impatience and only means that the United States realizes that Israel is a burden to them and that it is time to find a better option.


Finally, we must remember that the Palestinian fight for their independence enjoys increasingly broad support, as we have seen through the huge demonstrations all over the world and in the West in particular, where we have heard protesters compare Israel to a colonial and apartheid state.


Justice will prevail.

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.

France: results and challenges

The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

Covid-19 Incredible news!

"Europe and the United States have decided to earmark 4% of all funds expended in the fight against Covid-19 to the eradication of malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis, diseases that kill millions of people every year." I was sitting in front of my TV watching the news. I could barely believe my ears. As the report continued, I turned up the sound so as not to miss a word. The United States has lifted sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela and sent 10 planes with medical equipment and personnel to assist those countries in their fight against Covid-19. The leaders of North and South Korea have signed an historic agreement to reunite their country, henceforth known as the Republic of Korea. The African and European Unions have signed a free trade agreement, under which goods and citizens may circulate freely from one continent to the other. The stock exchanges are now publishing daily figures on the profits of major companies, broken down by country, to serve as t...
