Alors que la politique d’Obama vis-\u00e0-vis d’Isra\u00ebl progresse \u00e0 pas compt\u00e9s et \u00e0 pas de loup, avec une prudence de Sioux postmoderne, les r\u00e9actions de l’Isra\u00ebl de Netanyahou et de tout ce qui en est proche continuent \u00e0 marquer une exacerbation sans cesse en augmentation. Il n’est d’ailleurs m\u00eame plus n\u00e9cessaire d’actes politiques d’Obama \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard; c’est une \u00e9volution psychologique qui s’entretient d’elle-m\u00eame, bas\u00e9e sur la certitude parano\u00efaque<\/a>, conduite par le Premier ministre isra\u00e9lien, que l’administration Obama et tout ce qui l’accompagne mettent en grand danger les relations entre les USA et Isra\u00ebl, la politique d’Isra\u00ebl, l’existence d’Isra\u00ebl et ainsi de suite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tDeux articles, ce week-end, mettent cette situation en \u00e9vidence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Dans le Daily Star<\/em> de Beyrouth, ce 8 ao\u00fbt 2009<\/a>, le commentateur Rami G. Khouri, un Palestinien de nationalit\u00e9 US travaillant \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine de Beyrouth, s’interroge pour savoir si le lobby pro-isra\u00e9lien (l’AIPAC) de Washington n’est pas entr\u00e9 dans une phase tr\u00e8s difficile. Khouri estime que le Lobby<\/em> est affol\u00e9 devant la politique d’Obama et devant le soutien que la politique Obama obtient au Congr\u00e8s, relayant en cela en la renfor\u00e7ant la parano\u00efa des dirigeants isra\u00e9liens, et qu’il riposte par des initiatives qui risquent de s’av\u00e9rer tr\u00e8s contre-productives \u00e0 cause de leur exc\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abAn interesting new case suggests that the pro-Israeli maniacs in Washington are losing their cool in opposing Obama’s decision to bestow the Presidential Medal of Honor on Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland and a widely respected international human rights advocate. Some Jewish groups and members of Congress feel that Robinson has shown a persistent anti-Israel bias in her work as a human rights advocate. Representatives Eliot Engel and Shelley Berkley, among others, feel that during her days as UN human rights commissioner she was one-sided in her criticism of Israel and allowed the global debate on human rights to include anti-Israeli sentiments (such as at an anti-racism conference in Durban, South Africa, in 2001, which included widespread criticism of Israel by national delegations, causing the American and Israeli delegations to walk out).<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe Anti-Defamation League and AIPAC have also criticized the award to Robinson. She told an Israeli newspaper this week that she was surprised and dismayed by the protests, which she called old, recycled, untrue stuff. She is universally admired for her commitment to human rights, and her criticisms of Israelis and Arabs alike reflect her sense of an obligation to speak out whenever fundamental norms of law and decency are broken by states or non-state groups. For key elements in the pro-Israel lobby in the US to attack such an internationally respected individual as Mary Robinson is a pretty strong sign of panic.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
