Since October 7, it is motus and mouth sewn, if you have the misfortune to position yourself in favor of a martyred people, I speak of the people of Palestine of course, you immediately become a target designated to popular vindictive and to the French justice court.
The intellectual maccarthismsm violently fell on the West and more particularly on France.
I myself had to suffer.
How to explain the feeling that I have, after having spoke on an Algerian television which is channel Algeria to be precise, by ironicing on the barbarism exerted by the state led by the Israeli Zionist Zionist, to have been censored because I recalled, that the savagery was not on the side of the Palestinians but on the side of the Israeli extreme right.
After practically a year of uninterrupted bombing, tens of thousands of murdered civilians, 80 % destruction throughout the Gaza Strip, a very narrow territory 45 km long by 12 wide, I would have had to designate Hamas as wild by sparing the wild of the Israeli far right.
Following this an informant on X, in a beautiful French tradition, denounced me on television C news precisely in the program Morandini live So that I have never been received on his sets again. I expected it to happen one day, obviously but it is the method that surprised me the most. Yes, there are scales that do not want to hear you speak to alleviate the antipalestinian propaganda discourse.
And what concerns me, my position on the question of anti -Semitism is radically frontal; I attack the anti -Semites on the ground, as I faced the other far -right vermin, Alain Soral. However, my positioning is just as radical about the support to be given to the people of Palestine in the face of barbaric Zionism tinged with fascism which currently directs the state of Israel.
As a result, I was put to the door of a program when I was planned for four weeks on C News. All this because we do not want to hear a discourse that does not go in the sense of general propaganda imposed in France.
You can scream in the street no problem but you will not be allowed to access the major media.
And it was after having dropped a little tear of satisfaction, I realized that it was better to speak in the foreign media where freedom of expression is greater than in the French media where dogmatism is extremely present.
I fully understand that it is hard to receive myself since I do not correspond to the caricature of the suburban kid not really mastering the vocabulary exceeding 3 syllables, nor with caricature of poor Imam Chalghoumi, who has trouble articulating a sentence in approximate French with an accent to cut with a knife.
Worse still, completely uninhibited I can face any opponent without any difficulty, with a very offensive discourse and unbeatable arguments, since simply tinged with truth.
We are sold and resells freedom of expression throughout the Western media, explaining that democracy would guarantee it. These same media spend their time incriminating the countries of the South or the East which do not meet these criteria of eligibility of the beautiful free word, but as soon as it is necessary to go to the contradictory exercise during the period of political tension or geopolitical, strangely as with the disappearance of the RT France television channel, one is able to strike violently at the head of the independent newspapers with this famous sword of Damocles which did not say its name. McCarthy’s sword.
So a private media like C News does not meet the criteria of freedom of expression obviously. Public media is hardly better since each time they have a posture there is no contradictory or very little.
This way of always inviting the same heads, the same positions, the between self or to choose the people who should defend us as in the great era of “touching my friend”, systematically reducing us to the role of appearing in our own life, says a lot about progress that remains to be made in the West concerning the principles actually carrying freedom according to propaganda.
Today, we can consider that freedom of expression has largely backed off and that it is even more obvious in period of war.
The propaganda speech resurfaces and the people who were still in love with freedom and justice are on their behalf.
