Support movie about Gaza by Gazans 

http://shareyrpain.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/support-movie-about-gaza-by-gazans.html

 

This is a project I will be supporting with whatever meager funds I can donate. It is so frustrating to read posts & articles describing the horrendous conditions the illegal Israeli seige both land and sea has had on the innocent civilians trapped in what has been described as an open air prison. The Israelis maintain that they have eased the seige that was supposedly imposed in reaction to the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, a dual French/Israeli. Since his release last month nothing has been done to end the blockade. I find it duplicitous that Americans of Jewish heritage can enlist in Israeli occupation forces (IOF) then come back to USA and get into politics like Rahm Emmanuel. Contrast that to the John Walker Lindh trials and tribulations or Austrailia's David Hicks, former Guantanemo 'detainee.' Anyway this is a trailer for a movie that needs funding about two Gazans, a woman and a girl during Israeli's '08-'09 operation Cast Lead that claimed over 1,400 lives in Gaza and 13 Israeli lives. Watch the video and pass it around. Thank you ">

DIPLOMATIE – VATICAN. Le pape François à Mahmoud Abbas: «Vous êtes un ange de paix»

Le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas a été qualifié d’«ange de paix» par le souverain pontife, samedi, à la veille de la canonisation de deux religieuses palestiniennes.

L’audience privée, durant laquelle M. Abbas et le pape François ont échangé des cadeaux dans une atmosphère chaleureuse, a duré une vingtaine de minutes. Le président Abbas doit assister dimanche matin à la canonisation de Mariam Bawardi (1846-1878), fondatrice à Bethléem du premier couvent carmélite de Palestine, et de Marie-Alphonsine Ghattas (1843-1927), à l’origine de la congrégation du Très Saint Rosaire de Jérusalem.

Deux autres religieuses, une Française, Jeanne Emilie de Villeneuve (1811-1854), et une Italienne, Maria Cristina dell’Immacolata (1856-1906), doivent être canonisées par François dimanche matin, lors d’une célébration sur la place Saint-Pierre.

Accord sur les droits de l’Eglise

Un accord, portant sur les droits de l’Eglise catholique dans les territoires, en négociations depuis 15 ans, doit être signé prochainement entre le Vatican et «l’Etat de Palestine», avait annoncé mercredi le Saint-Siège. De premières informations avaient fait état d’une possible signature dès ce week-end. Depuis plus de deux ans, le Vatican se conforme à la formulation retenue par l’ONU, qui a admis en novembre 2012 la Palestine comme Etat observateur, tout en regrettant que l’Etat en question n’existe pas encore vraiment.

Le Saint-Siège, qui a des relations diplomatiques avec Israël depuis 1993, négocie également depuis 1999 un accord sur les droits juridiques et patrimoniaux des congrégations catholiques dans l’Etat hébreu, en particulier leurs exonérations fiscales. Mais chaque rencontre semestrielle se solde par un échec.

Exercice diplomatique délicat

Le Vatican mène un exercice diplomatique délicat entre Israël et les Palestiniens, des communautés catholiques étant implantées de deux côtés dans ce berceau du christianisme qui reste lieu important de pèlerinage.

D’un côté, il veut éviter de froisser Israël et de réveiller les reproches liés au rôle de l’Eglise dans l’histoire de l’antijudaïsme en Europe. Mais il milite aussi pour une solution à deux Etats, pour un statut spécial reconnu à Jérusalem, ville des trois monothéismes, et pour les droits des Palestiniens en Cisjordanie et à Gaza.
