Portrait croisé dans @libe avec mon amie & collègue Yasmina Asrarguis. Deux parcours en miroir, deux regards croisés & une même volonté de ne pas céder aux simplifications & aux assignations en tout genre, même sur les sujets les plus inflammables. Merci @vblochlaine @j_jaures 🙏

Cette rhétorique lui avait permis de gagner face à Herzog en 2015 mais le 7 octobre est passé par là & les villes du nord & du sud du pays traditionnellement acquises au Likoud (sauf exceptions) se mobilisent pour l’heure moins que la moyenne nationale.
Ca y est, Netanyahu sort ses premiers posts "Au secours, les Arabes votent en masse, danger!"

Crainte de l’opposition 🇮🇱: que #Netanyahou parvienne à mobiliser son électorat ds les dernières heures en jouant sur ses peurs grâce à sa stratégie habituelle du « gevalt »(dramatisation des enjeux) d’où sa dde d’extension de la possibilité de voter jusqu’à 23h, heure d’#Israël.

Une tendance se confirme en #IsraelElection: le taux de participation dans les bastions historiques du #Likoud est sensiblement inférieur à la moyenne nationale. L’Israël périphérique, notamment le nord & le sud du pays, se mobilise moins qu’en 2022. Pas bon signe pour #Netanyahu

New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad: Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German. Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”? Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.

Netanyahu's Israel as super Sparta is creating a self-fulfilling future. A faux self-sufficiency driven by a state tethered to Jewish supremacy; perpetual conflict; Arabs as eternal enemies; international isolation; and peace as dangerous illusion. haaretz.com/israel-news/elec…

Will Iran turn to terrorism? Recent reporting suggests it has plans to do just that With its leadership badly damaged and its security establishment humiliated by deep intelligence infiltration, the desperate regime likely sees little downside in setting caution aside and greenlighting a wide variety of international attacks. washingtoninstitute.org/poli…

Over 4,000 Jews moved from France to Israel this year so far, and the number is expected to reach 5,000 by the end of the year. This is the 1st year since the fall of the Soviet Union that any country other than Russia is the origin of the most immigrants. (Source: @MakorRishon)

The Houthis’ political and military messaging has hardened over the past few years. Their leader’s speeches and publications have been publicly challenging Saudi custodianship over Mecca and targeting Mohammed bin Salman’s standing at home. They are also dredging up old claims on Asir, Jizan and Najran. Saudi Arabia is also subject to attacks over what the Houthis perceive as a clandestine Israeli-Saudi relationship of normalization (which obviously does not exist). That rhetoric carries weight because the Houthis see their territorial and ideological ambitions outside Yemen as the path to a Free Palestine, and Saudi Arabia is the entity standing in their way. My latest deep dive looks at what the Houthi and Iran primary sources reveal: ideologymachine.com/p/for-th…

« Selon des sources policières et du renseignement territorial, la mobilisation des casseurs a également été suscitée, accentuée, accélérée ou instrumentalisée par des influenceurs et des blogueurs soutenus ou viralisés par des puissances étrangères. L’Iran, l’Algérie et la Russie sont notamment citées par la presse et par un ancien Premier ministre et un ministre de l’intérieur que j’ai interrogés ».
