Towards the End of the Israeli-American Aggression against Iran and the Triumph of Justice

 The aggression led by Israel and the United States against Iran, initially expected to last a few days, has now entered its third week. How is this war unfolding? And who will win it? Military stakes are high, and censorship is strong, particularly in Israel. Yet, it is possible to attempt an answer based on available evidence.

The material cost is enormous, nearly one billion dollars per day. Rising oil and gas prices weigh heavily on Europe. Growing opposition may emerge in the U.S., especially among business sectors sensitive to costs and risks of instability. Public opinion remains wary of a new Middle East war.

Destruction in Iran is significant, but Israel also suffers heavy damage. Iran shows unexpected resilience and energy.

Recent history offers lessons: the U.S. failed in long and costly wars like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, not only for military or political reasons but also because they were unjust. Today, Iran is a country victim of external aggression, which strengthens its cohesion and capacity to resist.

This war is part of the Palestinian tragedy, ongoing for 77 years. Israel appears as the main initiator of the attack against Iran, partly to divert attention from the Palestinian issue. Iran supports the Palestinians’ right to self-determination over their historic land.

Moreover, Iran, heir of ancient Persia, that is, a millennia-old civilization, maintains a strong identity despite invasions and trials. The Persian Empire, more than two thousand years old, remains a symbol of historical continuity and national resilience.

It is highly likely that this war will end the Israeli-American aggression, recognize the Iranian people’s right to decide their future freely, and acknowledge the Palestinians’ right to regain their land and dignity.

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...

COVID-19 Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong: they have a lot to teach us

These countries have achieved impressive results in managing the COVID-19 crisis because they are industrialized nations. Their absolutely remarkable story can be a source of inspiration to others. On various fronts, these countries have a similar story to tell. With the onset of COVID-19, they were all able to control the epidemic with an entirely appropriate response.  The media – western in particular – were quick to explain that what helped these countries was the fact that they had adopted masks, that mask-wearing was part of the culture, that these countries are authoritarian in nature, etc. These explanations are mostly stereotypes. The reality is quite different. These four countries (the Special Administrative Region of China since 1997, in the case of Hong Kong) made history in the 1960s because they were the first to industrialize following what was called the industrial revolution in Europe at the end of the 18th century. This is also why they were designated Newly Indu...

Oh, the joys of Democracy!

Everyone loves democracy. So does the West, which insisted on democratic elections in Turkey. These actually took place with a record attendance of 80%. But when Erdogan won the elections, the West was not happy. Why, would you ask ? Well, because the West does not like surprises: it wanted democratic elections .... with a guaranteed victory of its preferred candidate! I gotta tell ya, sir, that those people*, they have a very particular conception of democracy... Benyounes Saidi * To parody the unforgettable Jacques Brel
