An Interview with Aharon Shabtaï
Israel, “guest of honour” in Paris and Turin, does not deserve to be invited
| by Silvia Cattori | Tel-Aviv (Israël) | Focus | When the announcement that Israel would attend the "Fiera del libro" of Turin, (*) came out, an immediate wave of protest arose in Italy; and many personalities supported the boycott call, made by the Palestinian, Jordanian and Egyptian Writers’ Associations. In France, strangely enough, the same invitation, to the "Salon du livre" of Paris, did not make much noise. Alone, the Israeli poet Aharon Shabtaï has refused to participate in these events, contrary to the 39 Israeli writers who accepted to be part of the Israeli delegation to these two exhibitions. Aharon Shabtaï explains here why these events –which he qualifies as "promotion of propaganda" for Israel-, must be boycotted, as well as any cultural event where this apartheid State is celebrated. |

The Assassination of Benazir Bhutto, according to an Indian General
Why is the situation in Pakistan irremediable?
by General Vinod Saighal | New Delhi (Inde) | The murder of the popular Pakistani politician Benzir Bhutto has to do with pricise logics. For decades the United States has financed the Pakistani military regime. Washington has supported the most extremist radical elements and has given sofisticated weapons to a government made up of an alliance of the military and the religious fundamentalists so that they back US interests.
