Franco-German media Arte, same documentary on the West Bank.
French title: "Occupied territory, the roads of annexation"
German title: "Why is Israel building new roads in the West Bank? New roads for the West Bank"
It's real. French video: youtube.com/watch?v=guUU-izH…. German video: youtube.com/watch?v=p6KFOF8W…
The French frame it as occupation and annexation. If you read the longer video description they write: "Highways, tunnels, viaducts, park-and-ride facilities… the Hebrew state is investing considerable sums in this occupied territory. These roads are the engine of colonization."
The Germans however frame it as a mere infrastructure buildup. The video description just says: "Israel is investing heavily in new highways, tunnels, viaducts, and parking structures in the Palestinian West Bank. This encourages more and more Israeli citizens to settle in the new settlements, since these are now connected to major cities by modern and secure roads. These roads are also the answer to Israel's population growth."

un récit anticolonial commun qui remonte dans le temps (ici, avant les Français) pour remettre en cause les États postcoloniaux du Maghreb et nier la centralité de la lutte de libération dans l’histoire nationale algérienne. 6/7 #Sansal

Sansal dénonçait l’inconsistance des frontières algériennes d’aujourd’hui. Il s'inspirait quasiment mot pour mot des thèses anhistoriques et prétendument «anticoloniales » de la Nouvelle Droite française, défendues par des auteurs comme Alain de Benoist.

Ces propos tombaient sous le coup d’un article très connu du Code pénal algérien (l’article 87 bis), qualifiant d’« acte terroriste ou subversif » toute action susceptible d'attenter à « la sécurité de l’État, l'intégrité territoriale ou la stabilité des institutions ». #Sansal

T. Sheppatd & @CBertossi : Une convergence mondiale transforme des récits d’émancipation sociale en programmes réactionnaires. De l’Inde à l’Algérie et la France, ce détournement des luttes progressistes exploite l’histoire en occultant sa complexité.

Exclusive 🧵 to the [@CIJ_ICJ]
(!): disturbing language

Unbelievable
Sayeret Golani — the very same unit responsible for the massacre of 15 paramedics, UN workers, and rescue personnel just two months ago in Rafah— is now in Agadir, Morocco.
Out of all the IDF units, Morocco chose to host them. Not only have they faced no consequences, but they’re being welcomed.
It’s an outrage. It’s a disgrace. This is a slap in the face to justice and to every victim. Shame.
