In the news the Middle East once again enters the

How the Israel-Hamas war is fracturing the world ” title the Obs which traces the thread of events since October 7 and the Hamas attack. She first “ stunned the world by its suddenness and its outburst of violence » we can read. And then there is the Israeli response, the bombs on Gaza, events which, the magazine tells us, “ have awakened, everywhere, a Palestinian cause which seemed forgotten ” and that “ reveals the impotence of the West which believed it could, in recent years, stay away from this conflict “. Then how ” avoid aggravation of tensions », in France in particular? To try to answer, the Obs publishes a dialogue between Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur, “ leading figure of liberal Judaism in France », and the Franco-Algerian writer Kamel Daoud. On the one hand, there are the very bitter regrets of Delphine Horvilleur: “ I was waiting for the words of Muslim intellectuals with whom I usually interact. There were a few, so essential, but so rare. Something escapes me in this silence which devastates me » she explains. A silence which seems all the more unfair to her as she claims to have been denouncing for years “ Netanyahu’s government, the horror of the occupation, the drift of society “. On the other hand, Kamel Daoud especially regrets this perpetual position that is imposed on him with figures and human tolls, however heavy they may be. “ I am not an accountant. The logic of equivalences leads to the logic of the inhuman » says the writer who adds: “ this Shoah against Nakba match that they would like us to play in our countries and which suits the Islamists is a staging. It is the crystallization of a story that we would like to freeze “. A little further into the magazine, David Khalfa, Middle East specialist at the Jean Jaurès foundation, believes that we can be both “ sensitive to the Palestinian cause, supporting the two-state solution, criticizing Israeli policies and condemning Hamas. We must not choose our dead “.

The disaster “, ” the immoral strategy »: the weekly does not mince its words after the positions taken by the leader of France Insoumise who, for example, refused to qualify the acts of Hamas as terrorists. “ Is this stupidity? Or maybe ignorance? » asks the magazine which immediately responds: “ No and no. Jean-Luc Mélenchon knows too well (…) the weight of words “. These are in fact “ sordid calculations ” according to Point for whom the one who came third in the last presidential election “ is a man who leaves nothing to chance “. The Hamas offensive against Israel would represent “ a godsend for an old politician in decline “. Questioned on the question, the former environmentalist MEP Daniel Cohn-Bendit gives his analysis: “ To capitalize on the revolt that took hold in the suburbs this summer and seek a new electorate », Jean-Luc Mélenchon would use “ of the resentment of many people of Muslim origin » and would instrumentalize it « for political, and even basely electoral, purposes “.

Ghana, “The trash can of the world’s textiles”: read that in Le Figaro Magazine

This week he attacks the fast fashionto this Western overconsumption which has become “ a way of life and an economic logic “. Once the clothes are replaced by a new trend, they are mainly shipped abroad and in particular to the African continent. with the promise of a possible second life “. Except that for the weekly, “ this textile treasure (…) has turned into an ecological and health quagmire for local populations “. Every day, Ghana receives 160 tonnes of already worn clothes, transported by boat. Half of these cargoes would be “ considered unsaleable in local shops “, to finish ” thrown into the streets or market alleys » in Accra.
