"Rights" are these insightful entities aiming at protecting the vulnerable whose vital interests or needs are threatened. So of course it was urgent to recognize the rights of the bees 🐝 ! The constitutional law in Peru (Provincia de Satipo) is incredibly inventive. #rightsofnature #animalrights

Perles un peu surprenantes. Gerhard Scholem à Hannah Arendt: "Arthur Koestler a raconté que [Walter] Benjamin lui avait cédé la moitié de sa morphine, dommage qu’il ne se soit pas montré plus généreux, car l’ami Koestler a ingurgité le tout à Lisbonne pour le vomir ensuite, un jeune homme sain !"

Itamar Ben Gvir applies his fascist agenda very selectively. And now he holds the record of the biggest number of deaths in Arab society in Israel (left without proper police services, access to justice and constantly harassed by settlers or extremists). www.haaretz.co.il/news/law/202...

I am still fascinated by the history of the emancipation of the Jewish people that gave birth to Eretz Israel. Not a linear & saint history, but a human one and filled with hope. The same hope that should feel the reality of the Palestinian State, with Marwan Barghouti out of prison. Pic: Ramallah

Rereading Sharon Rotbard, "White City, Black City" (2015): "Eastern European elements in Tel Aviv’s architecture of the 1920s were introduced in a similar way to Oriental influences: as something of a parody... ‘a mixture between Berdichev and Baghdad’".

You know that these are the most efficient people today, in Israel/Palestine, who can do something and are already doing something big time? my.israelgives.org/en/fundme/no...

The Ethnomethodology Reading Group from Manchester University, lead by Phil Hutchinson @philhutchinson.bsky.social, is just wonderful #EMCA – on the #ROLSI blog. rolsi.net/2025/12/02/g... Every Wednesday, at 10am UK time. As I cannot really join these days, my regrets are huge!

More than 200 cultural figures have signed onto a petition calling for the release of prominent Palestinian security prisoner Marwan Barghouti. Petition includes several Jewish names: Stephen Fry, Paul Simon, Hannah Einbinder, Ilana Glazer & Miriam Margolyes. #FreeMarwanBarghouti #freemarwannow

Pro-Israel and anti-Israel accounts in English, Hebrew for and against Netanyahu, & accounts run for Israel in Persian encouraging regime change in Iran – all were found based in suspicious locations ranging from Africa to the Far East. #Haaretz

Fabrice Erre asks the right question, given the kind of remarks I get from my friends and students: why didn't I become a math professor?

Linda Gradstein hoping for the liberation of #MarwanBarghouti and Noah Efron speaking about how great @standing-together.bsky.social is, well, this is a very nice episode of #ThePromisedPodcast

Two electoral polls from Israel, around Nov 20, 2025. First for News 12 & second for Maariv. In both, the coalition collapses. Maariv: coalition has 49 seats, Bennett-Eizenkot-Opposition bloc has 61 seats, & the Arab parties have 10 #israelielectoralpoll www.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

Rula Daood made her decision to put in her candidacy during a protest in Kafr Yasif. "Many young people were around me, many women. In contrast, on the stage were only men. They were the only ones who would speak." The election (Nov 15) was won by Jamal Zahalka/Balad. @standing-together.bsky.social

Fatah, the backbone of the Palestinian political system since Yasser Arafat, is experiencing a profound crisis of confidence and leadership. Only 13 % of Palestinians prefer Abbas as president. Khaled Meshal of Hamas receives 36 %, and #MarwanBarghouti gets 49 %.

Ayman Odeh on Yitzhak Rabin's death 🕯️: "The Kahanist right [...] didn't just assassinate Rabin, they also succeeded in taking away from us the idea that it is possible to end the occupation, and the possibility of establishing a just peace here, an Israeli-Palestinian peace."

Nir Eisikovits: Barghouti is no Mandela – at least not yet. But letting him go might just set in train a comparable historic shift. By releasing him, the Israelis will signal that they would like to find a more peaceful way to coexist, while also setting up a negotiating partner for themselves.

Eva Illouz has once again been cancelled, at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Because she taught at #HUJI. Or because she is Israeli? Earlier this year, she denied the Israel Prize because the Israeli Edu Minister thought she was too critical. All support to Eva 💙 www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb...

An important mission for academia right now. "Toxic online communities like the one I fell into are prevalent because there’s a vacuum to be filled: a vacuum of physical spaces for boys to connect and reflect."

🏳️‍⚧️ phobia bores them finally. "Earle-Sears, a Rep., poured millions $$ into this ominous advertising blitz attacking her Democratic opponent for governor, Abigail Spanberger, as a radical on transgender issues." "the line of attack does not appear to be working as well for her as it did for Trump"

#PCPSR poll If they don't #FreeMarwanBarghouti, Hamas will use the existing despair to destroy Palestinians and the Middle East in general. Barghouti's charisma makes him win the presidential elections (8+10) despite a large popularity of Hamas as such (12). @vincent-lemire.bsky.social

Not great news for Netanyahu. Maybe some good news for the rule of law, who knows. Likud 25 seats (down), Bennett 21, the Democrats a bit up at 12 seats. Smotrich, Blue White and some others don't pass the threshold. #israelielectoralpoll www.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

The poll of the day in France — National Rally (Rassemblement national, former Front National) is becoming really mainstream. Published by @liberation.fr this morning.

⚠️ Avec @annaziel.bsky.social nous avons voulu vous présenter Marwan Barghouti, le Mandela palestinien, emprisonné depuis 23 ans. Son passé, son présent… et son futur. À lire et à faire lire #FreeBarghouti 🇵🇸🇮🇱

With Vincent Lemire, we're revisiting some elements of the pasts – and of the future of Marwan Barghouti. #freeMarwanBarghouti @vincent-lemire.bsky.social

"In my Gaza there are hundreds of local leaders who are waiting for a chance to work with our new international partners. From imams and teachers to community organizers and future political leaders, we may need help from the outside, but we can do a lot of the groundwork in remaking Gazan society"

My passion for #PCPST polls is the reason of my insomnias. Here, "Armed Attacks, PNA Performance, The Palestinian Legislative Council, Corruption" December 1996: Palestinians do not like armed attacks, trust the government, and hope that corruption will decrease. pcpsr.org/en/node/548

#NoKings protests all over the US now. I would really prefer that the American democracy survives.

The fact that Smotrich is up again in the polls kills me. He was under the threshold for a while, now he is at the very bottom, but he is in. #israelielectoralpoll www.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

Vincent Lemire in @lemonde.fr on #MarwanBarghouti In 2002, he reiterated his "strong condemnation of any attack on civilians inside Israel, our future neighbor." In 2016, he wrote: "We cannot separate the liberation of the land from the liberation of the people" @vincent-lemire.bsky.social

Marwan Barghouti suffered four broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards last month, following the visit by Itamar Ben Gvir. At the same time, Ben Gvir said that he was “proud that Barghouti’s conditions have changed drastically” during his tenure. #FreeMarwanBarghouti בושה

💛 Freedom of the hostages is the first step to get out of intellectual, political and emotional captivities we are all in. (Thinking about the title by Czeslaw Milosz, "The Captive Mind", "Zniewolony umysl").

Hope (for saved hostages) and despair (for the destroyed Gaza). This morning, between Palestine and Israel.

There was a memorial space for the children of Gaza located on Yefet Street across from Hajj Kahil, in Tel Aviv. The Municipality decided to take it down, while 80% of the Arab families in Jaffa have family in Gaza. @standing-together.bsky.social is planning to reconstruct this space tomorrow.

I didn't expect this kind of support 🕊️ "US Jewish community leader lobbied for Marwan Barghouti’s release. Ronald Lauder offered to travel to Sharm el-Sheikh to make case during final negotiations, but idea was nixed by Netanyahu’s office". www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-co...

« The unchained workers of decay were waiting in a dormant state for the necessary conditions to be established, when they might recommence their interrupted struggle. » László Krasznahorkai, The Melancholy of Resistance

I was busy with careful joy because of the promise of the hostages release and the end of war, but apparently there are bad news too. According to Netanyahu's Office, Marwan Barghouti will not be released in the deal. And yet, more than ever, #FreeMarwanBarghouti

Insomnia. Then, it was in Tel Aviv in January 2024. The soil, sometimes, was trembling. 🟣

"Now, the #PTSD is routinely featured on morning news shows and in mainstream cultural events. “There is no household in Israel without this thing … this thing that grows in darkness, in shame, in silence,” said Udi Kagan, (אודי כגן) in a stand-up monologue." (www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sVq...)
