"Leila Shahid est morte de chagrin. De chagrin, de colère et d’impuissance. Dans un de ses derniers messages vocaux, elle me disait : « Vincent mon chéri, tu n’imagines pas dans quel état je suis. Je suis détruite, vidée, dévastée, et je pleure à chaque émotion »." Par @vincent-lemire.bsky.social

Social medias of major Israeli football clubs include Ramadan Kareem wishes. I thought I would share this since it's just a sheer goodness and hope for a dialogue. And of course: Ramadan Kareem if you celebrate! Below: Hapoel Tel Aviv, Maccabi TA, Hapoel Haifa, Hapoel Beer Sheva [🔴] & Hapoel JLM.

On stage with some wonderful people from Standing Together, with Hanna Assouline and Vincent Lemire, but I guess it's with Ofer Bronchtein (sitting next to me on the picture) that I will spend a lot of time in months to come. Looking forward. fost-france-europe.fr/standing-tog...

Pure evil. "Cabinet approves far-reaching moves to deepen West Bank control, reshaping land and authority. The cabinet approved decisions pushed by Israel Katz and Bezalel Smotrich expand settlement authority and allow enforcement actions even in Area A." www.ynetnews.com/article/sjqp...

So I finally looked at these Epstein files (I am weak). He was reading Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus logico-philosophicus. Mark Tramo, what is even going in these conversations over the years. Did you really want to settle the Wittgenstein versus Chomsky tension with Jeffrey Epstein?

I don't want to care about Epstein files. I don't want to get excited in front of the collapse of trust in Western politicians, as this is exactly what Kremlin wants. Let Americans deal with yet another drama, they have means to do it. Let's try to make the world better where we can.

A Zionist rabbi, Abraham Isaac Kook (1865–1935), wrote this, and yet it proved to be useless: "A person’s ethical responsibility grows in accordance with his awareness of the interconnected nature of such a universe. And that too adds energy to his spirit in his quest to make himself whole."

On this Holocaust Memorial Day, I’m re-sharing our text that received a lot of silence in Germany as it is told from inconvenient perspectives. Yet, like the Jewish intellectuals we quote, we too believe there needs to be a different debate than that which flatters - or centres - German feelings

Le 11 février 2026 à 19h venez rencontrer Amal Ghawi & Itamar Avneri du leadership du mouvement Standing Together, avec la participation d’ Hanna Assouline, de l'historien Vincent Lemire et de musiciens ! Blog: fost-france-europe.fr/2026/01/22/s... Inscription: ✍🏼 www.imarabe.org/fr/agenda/ev...

The heads of the Arab parties Ra'am, Hadash, Ta'al and Balad signed an agreement today to establish the Joint List. It is signed by Ahmad Tibi, Ayman Odeh, Sami Abu Shehadeh, and Mansour Abbas, on the day of the biggest demonstration of the Arab sector in Israel. www.mako.co.il/news-politic...

CONSERVATIVE, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. Bierce A. (1911). The devil's dictionary. In The collected works of Ambrose Bierce (Vol. 7). New York: Neale.

David Bobée du Théâtre du Nord de Lille a mobilisé 63 structures culturelles pour commencer une collaboration réunissant des artistes gazaouis sur les scènes française. Les difficultés administratives bloquent cette initiative.

בושה Israel is preventing a French researcher who studies the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from entering its territory @vincent-lemire.bsky.social Israel has refused the entry of social activists, but there are no known other cases in which it has refused to approve the entry of researchers.

Bono from U2 joins our #FreeMarwanBarghouti crowd: "Like Mandela, Barghouti is not a man of nonviolence, but he is a man who has recognized the legitimate existence of the Other. Marwan Barghouti is certainly not Hamas—it’s difficult to imagine that Israel could compromise with such a group".

"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...

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 🇵🇸🇮🇱
