For nearly two months of significant political and social movements shook a country, then two, and there is no indication they will stop at those borders, or even with the Arab world. It is striking, so far at least, that those who give themselves physical mobilizations still non-negotiable goal the overthrow of regimes, their strength and their unity in a way around two key demands: less survive poorly, and exist more freely.
Striking also noted the total absence of banners or slogans anti-Western, burned American flags, slogans hostile to Israel. Including the share of voice and Islamic leaders in Egypt and Tunisia, who remain quietly in the observation and, when they speak, is to appeal to the Turkish model, Islamism and its self-proclaimed "moderate " : a Turkey that if Europe failed to offer him a permanent part attractive, has so far not yet fully revised its international policy choices, vis-à-vis the United States and Israel itself, despite the changes that she gradually introduced.
also striking that the absence of hostility, it is extraordinary, so little emphasized and analyzed: essentially, the streets full of people understood, at least objectively, how religion and exploit nationalism was now cons-revolutionary. Streets even more full of crazed dictators elsewhere as cut and provide domestic communications and people on the streets and squares to talk and meet, other than in the silly hatred of foreigners. Internet networks, just Western, overcoming the silences of their own, sometimes in their own way.
far, the only ones trying to divert the direction of these movements, deep economic, social and political course, the Iranian dictator, but non-Arab Muslim actor, through his official spokesman: "With the region that takes a new shape and the current trend, we hope to see rise to a Middle East that is Islamic and powerful, and able to resist the Zionist occupiers "predict that the reflection on current events and projects must be quite different in the Iranian democratic opposition if hit hard now for eighteen months. But the chain also Al-Jazeera directed squarely at present a member of Hamas , who finds the time comes to finish to undermine the Palestinian Authority by the spectacular release of documents supposedly secrets that they are all long known by naming as a traitor to the Zionist cause, a charge backed by the junta's Hezbollah in Lebanon, and at home, by the strange champion of the freedom of the press Mediapart which offers its technical relay chain specializing in the dissemination and propagation Islamist views the least "moderate , and events as well:" Al-Jazeera continues to broadcast in Egypt. The Americans put their collaborators in Egypt pro-American-Israeli . That title, or headline by leaving his thousand virtual aliases: what belches violently on the Internet unless it kills that, as clearly and calmly as possible, these men and women are trying to say with their bodies and voice.
While the United States, Israel and Europe can not afford not to reflect on their attitudes and responsibilities in the past and present developments underway. And Islamist movements, including Tunisians and Egyptians, are not suddenly become meek forces of progress. If they are divided, they share the certainty that their time will come and he would always cons-productive to confront today to women, young people, the worker and peasant masses in motion, and be as well as recovery of cynics. From experience gained tacit or reason, these crowds mobilized know or foresee that war hysteria and fanaticism can not be invoked to abort these powerful and fragile ongoing struggles, and deliver them back to the long State violence, physical and spiritual.
