Guests Tuesday, November 22 on France-3 Aquitaine, Lionel Jospin said he was "not candidate" for president in 2007, speaking for the first time so clearly on a possible return to run for the Elysee.
Asked about a statement by François Fillon's UMP political adviser, who said Monday that Jospin is that he "fears most " in view of the 2007 presidential election, former Prime Minister responded immediately, using the present: " There is a small problem is that I am not a candidate .
He recalled that the Socialist Party's nomination for 2007 would take place in November 2006. "All this does not great news ," he timed. As for his book "The World as I see," released Oct. 27 with a lot of media interventions, three weeks before the congress of the Socialist Party, he repeated that he had "nothing to do " with a pre-presidential program.
"I was a solution"
October 27, Lionel Jospin, however, left some doubt. It was certainly presented as a former politician "that No. 'aspires to no other " role, but he had not formally rejected Assuming a nomination at the Elysee.

It is only in France that we are witnessing a true urban guerrilla movement organized, structured and branched at the national level.

planting a second tree in the park Rabin Paris
To mark the tenth anniversary of the death of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin , assassinated Nov. 4, 1995, David Fuchs, President of the Cercle Bernard Lazare and representative CRIF, has planted a second tree in the park Rabin in Paris.
He stated: " Rabin was a great among the great. As a soldier he knew that security requires vigilance army but he managed to escape from this fundamental role, however, and he understood that peace requires also a fight permanent and hard! As such, it deserves ample hello by which one completes the reading of the Torah: "Be strong and courageous" Hazak Veematz ! "
But if immediately after the Torah reading off again alive in its infancy, it will not raise Rabin and it is our responsibility to all of us to take over, fight as he did for Peace and finally lead the struggle for peace to an end. As has been said: "SHALOM HAVER !"

Welcoming Speech For Emcee
Marc Lumbroso, President of B'nai B'rith
Marc Lumbroso, President of B'nai B'rith.
Question: Could you explain how a was B'nai B'rith created?
Answer: The B'nai B'rith was founded October 17, 1843, 162 years ago, by German Jewish immigrants in the United States. It was to bring together Jews of all persuasions and from all traditions to preserve their unity. The base of B'nai B'rith was already based on fundamental values of both universal and Judaism, namely the brotherhood, solidarity, benevolence and harmony. It was also at that time, protect the Jewish community, to fight against anti-Semitism and preserving Jewish culture broadest sense. Today, B'nai B'rith is present in 58 countries including 26 in Europe. It is an NGO with representation at the UN, the Council of Europe and with an embassy to Unesco. It now has about 600,000 members worldwide. Obviously, support sustainability and the State of Israel is one of our major objectives.
Question: You said that B'nai B'rith is a movement similar to Freemasonry? Is this correct and how other faiths perceive the Masonic B'nai B'rith?
Answer : It is true that the B'nai B'rith was founded on the Masonic fashion, which has no monopoly on the concept of initiation. On the form, the founders, themselves Freemasons, who could not fit into local denominations, have probably wanted to create a Jewish Masonry. That said, in essence, B'nai B'rith is in no way a Freemason since the notion of universality does not exist in B'nai B'rith, only Jews can join. We are not an association type "philosophical" because we are constantly in action and on the ground. Finally, the notion of esotericism is totally absent from the B'nai B'rith and thinking it was never mentioned in our founding documents to any reference to the Kabbalah. The Masonic allegiances were often questioned about the true nature of B'nai B'rith, but today we are no longer perceived as an obedience or even less as an order.
Question: The extreme right has long "hold forth" on the B'nai B'rith, you accusing him of corrupt politicians. How do you respond?
Answer: It is obvious for the extreme right we are a target of first rank. On the one hand, we are an international Jewish, on the other hand, we are perceived as a masonry and consequently, the B'nai B'rith is the extreme right to the essence of Jewish Masonic conspiracy aimed at seizing world power. Concerning the accusations by the extreme right, including corruption of political power, we have always regarded with contempt and indifference.
Question: What is your news and what are your activities?
Answer : B'nai B'rith France is a federation of 65 associations, B'nai B'rith and independent and who undertake the same actions, namely: solidarity with Israel, fight against anti-Semitism, cultural activities of all kinds and reconciliation with all parts of the Jewish community. At the B'nai B'rith France, our role is to provide clear guidelines, based on current priorities. We also want all the lodges of France working in the same direction, so that the sum of our work is identifiable, tangible and significant.
Question: How B'nai B'rith is it open to the City and Civil Society?
Answer: As an NGO and association Jewish humanist, it is clear that our role is essentially outward-looking. All forms of racism affect us. We defend human rights when they are violated anywhere, we promote tolerance and moral values and, above all, France, today we are at the forefront of the struggle to defend secularism and citizenship.
Question: In the fight against extremism, what do you practice?
Answer: B'nai B'rith, we are moderate in nature and politically uncommitted but we're working through an "active neutrality". We're all fighting against extremism regardless of board and what kind. We fight the extreme right in France and throughout Europe through grassroots actions or events, we condemn anti-Zionism of the extreme left as it is relentless, from our point of view, a form of antisemitism, and we are fighting against Islamic fundamentalism, obscurantism vector and regression, all with the help of friends, all religions, and defending the same values as us.
Question: What are you doing to fight against antisemitism and racism?
Answer: The fight against antisemitism and racism has always been at the B'nai B'rith a top priority. Since 2000, anti-Semitism has rebounded and is new forms that have prompted us deep reflection and action project over time. On the one hand, we have deepened our relationship with the associations for non-Jewish organize all events for the values we defend. In addition, we alert our partners on the dangers of antisemitism by reminding them that historically anti-Semitism has always been the prelude to the bloody and dark periods. On the other hand, current obligations, we have a structure for rapid response to events. This structure is responsible for analyzing the situation, also in schools, in order to consider appropriate actions at all levels, including legal ones. Finally, we carry out substantive work on racism and anti-Zionism in universities and schools. We will publish a White Paper later in the year 2006, to inform and alert the media and political powers.
Question: Your dearest wish?
Response: Ensure that the B'nai B'rith brings, with all the community associations, its contribution to the defense of Judaism, the Jewish people and Israel but also that part of the peace social harmony and citizenship in this country of France, our country.

'Shock Wave' of Violence Spreads Across France for Eleventh Night
By Molly MooreWashington Post Foreign ServiceMonday, November 7, 2005; 8:00 AM
PARIS, Nov. 7 -- France's national police chief warned Monday that a "shock wave is spreading across the country" as rioting intensified in cities throughout France during an eleventh night of violence. Officials from neighboring countries expressed concern that the unrest could leap across international borders.
Gangs of young men burned 1,408 cars and trucks in dozens of cities across France, national police chief Michel Gaudin said at a news conference Monday.
Ten riot police were hit with fine-grain birdshot fired by youths during a confrontation Sunday night in the southern Paris suburb of Grigny, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said. Eight of the police officers suffered minor injuries and two were hospitalized with wounds not considered life-threatening.
"We are witnessing a sort of shock wave that is spreading across the country," police chief Gaudin said, adding that the violence seemed to be subsiding slightly in the Paris suburbs as it worsening elsewhere in France. He said police made 395 arrests in connection with the unrest Sunday night.
French government officials said they would announce a plan Monday for combating the violence and its root causes of high unemployment, poverty and discrimination in the poor communities where the violence is concentrated.
French President Jacques Chirac addressed the public Sunday for the first time since the violence began, saying his government's "absolute priority" was "reestablishing security and public order." His brief appearance came hours after the arson rampages struck the heart of Paris and accelerated their spread to other major French cities.
Those sowing "violence or fear" will be "arrested, judged and punished," Chirac said from the steps of the Elysee Palace after an emergency meeting of his national security council.
Law enforcement officials said the unrest -- including nightly arson and what they described as copycat attacks -- was spreading more rapidly than their ability to respond to it. The violence began in the northern suburbs of Paris, where large populations of immigrants and their French-born children live.
Police said gangs of youths, apparently roused by television images and summoned by Internet blogs, torched 51 cars in Paris on Saturday night, including in attacks at the congested Place de la Republique near the trendy Marais district. Blazes were also set in 42 cities from Rennes, the capital of Brittany in the north, to Nice on the Cote d'Azur in the south. Details from each day's violence are not fully known until the next morning.
"What do you expect?" said Paul Merault, a police spokesman interviewed by telephone in the southwestern city of Toulouse, where bands of youths set fire to 50 cars Saturday night. "For the last 10 days these kids have been watching TV, and naturally there is a copycat effect, a desire to imitate what they see on the screen."
Violence is now erupting in towns with little history of unrest, underscoring the widespread dissatisfaction with the government's policies toward its poorest citizens.
"If we don't take the appropriate measures right away, things could get way out of proportion," said Stephane Ribou, a police spokesman in Rennes. Ribou said the city of 200,000 had one of the lowest delinquency rates in the country. On Saturday night, roving groups of young men set 18 cars and 40 garbage bins ablaze there, he said.
In one of the most extreme episodes of violence Saturday night, youths in Evreux, a city in northwestern France, assaulted police and set fire to a strip mall, two schools, a post office and 53 cars.
"Rioters attacked us with baseball bats," Philippe Jofres, a deputy fire chief, told France-2 television. "We were attacked with pickaxes. It was war."
Five police officers and three firefighters were injured in the clashes, police said.
In Corbeil-Essonnes, a suburb south of Paris, a car rammed into a McDonald's restaurant, setting it ablaze and burning it to the ground. And Justice Ministry officials said they discovered a crude bomb-making workshop in a dilapidated building in Evry, south of Paris, that contained 100 empty bottles and gallons of fuel, according to the Associated Press.
Throughout the Paris suburbs, arsonists hit gymnasiums, schools and other symbols of the government.
Nationwide, 1,295 cars were burned Saturday night, according to Patrick Hamon, a spokesman for the national police. He said police detained 349 people, though local police agencies said they released many of the youths they picked up during the night.
The riots followed the deaths of two teenagers from the northern suburbs of Paris who were electrocuted in a power substation where they were trying to dodge a police checkpoint. The youths' families said the two were frightened by police who were chasing them; police deny they were pursuing the teenagers. The incident incensed youths in the neighborhoods, where unemployment is high, particularly among the French-born descendants of Muslim Africans and Arabs who say they feel the government has abandoned them.
The tensions have been exacerbated by comments from Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, whose references to the rioters as "scum" prompted youths participating in the violence to demand his resignation. Sarkozy has been considered a likely contender in the 2007 presidential election.
As the violence leapt this weekend from the troubled suburbs of Paris into the heart of the capital and to other major cities and popular tourist destinations, foreign embassies issued travel advisories.
The U.S. Embassy warned travelers against taking trains from Paris to Charles de Gaulle International Airport because of attacks on two trains last week. The Russian Embassy established a hotline for tourists after a bus carrying Russian visitors was set afire by youths last week. No one on the bus was injured, according to news reports. The Canadian Embassy said citizens "should be extremely careful" if they have to travel through the affected areas. Britain also has issued warnings.
Most nightly bus services north and east of Paris were suspended Saturday because of the large number of attacks on transit buses.
French officials and local residents have expressed concern that the media images of blazes and rioting could damage tourism in the country, which attracts 75 million visitors a year.
"You are walking around in a beautiful place, but you read in the newspapers that the suburbs were burning last night," said Paolo Soler, 57, a English real estate agent who was visiting Paris with his wife on their wedding anniversary. "It's definitely a shock when you hear what's happening not so far from where you are staying."
Researchers Gretchen Hoff and Maria Gabriella Bonetti contributed to this report.

"What do you expect?" said Paul Merault, a police spokesman interviewed by telephone in the southwestern city of Toulouse, where bands of youths set fire to 50 cars Saturday night. "For the last 10 days these kids have been watching TV, and naturally there is a copycat effect, a desire to imitate what they see on the screen."
Violence is now erupting in towns with little history of unrest, underscoring the widespread dissatisfaction with the government's policies toward its poorest citizens.
"If we don't take the appropriate measures right away, things could get way out of proportion," said Stephane Ribou, a police spokesman in Rennes. Ribou said the city of 200,000 had one of the lowest delinquency rates in the country. On Saturday night, roving groups of young men set 18 cars and 40 garbage bins ablaze there, he said.
In one of the most extreme episodes of violence Saturday night, youths in Evreux, a city in northwestern France, assaulted police and set fire to a strip mall, two schools, a post office and 53 cars.
"Rioters attacked us with baseball bats," Philippe Jofres, a deputy fire chief, told France-2 television. "We were attacked with pickaxes. It was war."
Five police officers and three firefighters were injured in the clashes, police said.
In Corbeil-Essonnes, a suburb south of Paris, a car rammed into a McDonald's restaurant, setting it ablaze and burning it to the ground. And Justice Ministry officials said they discovered a crude bomb-making workshop in a dilapidated building in Evry, south of Paris, that contained 100 empty bottles and gallons of fuel, according to the Associated Press.
Throughout the Paris suburbs, arsonists hit gymnasiums, schools and other symbols of the government.
Nationwide, 1,295 cars were burned Saturday night, according to Patrick Hamon, a spokesman for the national police. He said police detained 349 people, though local police agencies said they released many of the youths they picked up during the night.
The riots followed the deaths of two teenagers from the northern suburbs of Paris who were electrocuted in a power substation where they were trying to dodge a police checkpoint. The youths' families said the two were frightened by police who were chasing them; police deny they were pursuing the teenagers. The incident incensed youths in the neighborhoods, where unemployment is high, particularly among the French-born descendants of Muslim Africans and Arabs who say they feel the government has abandoned them.
The tensions have been exacerbated by comments from Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, whose references to the rioters as "scum" prompted youths participating in the violence to demand his resignation. Sarkozy has been considered a likely contender in the 2007 presidential election.
As the violence leapt this weekend from the troubled suburbs of Paris into the heart of the capital and to other major cities and popular tourist destinations, foreign embassies issued travel advisories.
The U.S. Embassy warned travelers against taking trains from Paris to Charles de Gaulle International Airport because of attacks on two trains last week. The Russian Embassy established a hotline for tourists after a bus carrying Russian visitors was set afire by youths last week. No one on the bus was injured, according to news reports. The Canadian Embassy said citizens "should be extremely careful" if they have to travel through the affected areas. Britain also has issued warnings.
Most nightly bus services north and east of Paris were suspended Saturday because of the large number of attacks on transit buses.
French officials and local residents have expressed concern that the media images of blazes and rioting could damage tourism in the country, which attracts 75 million visitors a year.
"You are walking around in a beautiful place, but you read in the newspapers that the suburbs were burning last night," said Paolo Soler, 57, a English real estate agent who was visiting Paris with his wife on their wedding anniversary. "It's definitely a shock when you hear what's happening not so far from where you are staying."

First Death Is Reported in Paris Riots as Arson Increaser
By CRAIG S. SMITH
PARIS, Monday, Nov. 8 - France's urban unrest claimed its first victim today when a 61-year-old man beaten by a hooded youth in the Parisian suburb of Stains last week died of his injuries.
The man, Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, had been in a coma since being attacked while talking with a neighbor about their cars near a working-class housing development.
Word of his death came after escalating violence Sunday, when rioters fired shotguns at the police in a working-class suburb of Paris, wounding 10 officers. The police arrested 395 people across the country overnight, Michel Gaudin, chief of the French national police, told a news conference in Paris today.
On Sunday night alone, authorities said, more than 1,400 vehicles were burned in 274 towns across the country; the destruction stretched into the heart of Paris, where 35 vehicles were destroyed, and touched almost every major city in France The situation was so urgent that President Jacques Chirac called an emergency meeting of top security officials Sunday evening and promised increased police pressure to confront the violence.
Several countries, including Australia, Austria, Britain and Germany, advised their citizens to exercise care in France, joining the United States and Russia in warning tourists to stay away from violence-hit areas, news agencies reported.
The violence, which has become one of the most serious challenges to governmental authority here in nearly 40 years, showed no sign of abating. Sunday, the 11th night of violence, was the first that police officers had been wounded by gunfire in the unrest. Two of the officers were hospitalized, but their lives were not in danger, the police said. While there had been earlier reports of rioters firing weapons, the shootings Sunday marked the first time that police officers had been wounded by weapons since the riots began.
There have been 77 members of the police and 31 firemen injured since the unrest started.
Nearly 5,000 vehicles have been destroyed, along with dozens of public buildings and private businesses, since the violence began.
"This is just the beginning," said Moussa Diallo, 22, a tall, unemployed French-African man in Clichy-sous-Bois, the working-class Parisian suburb where the violence started Oct. 27. "It's not going to end until there are two policemen dead."
He was referring to the two teenage boys, one of Mauritanian origin and the other of Tunisian origin, whose accidental deaths while hiding from the police touched off the unrest, reflecting longstanding anger among many immigrant families here over joblessness and discrimination. Mr. Diallo did not say whether he had taken part in the vandalism.
Fires were burning in several places on Sunday night and hundreds of youths were reported to have clashed with the police in Grigny, a southern suburb of Paris where the shooting took place. On Saturday night, a car was rammed into the front of a McDonald's restaurant in the town.
"We have 10 policemen that were hit by gunfire in Grigny, and two of them are in the hospital," Patrick Hamon, a national police spokesman, said Monday morning.
He said one of the officers hospitalized had been hit in the neck, the other in the leg, but added that neither wound was considered life-threatening.
Rampaging youths have attacked the police and property in cities as far away as Toulouse and Marseille and in the resort towns of Cannes and Nice in the south, the industrial city of Lille in the north and Strasbourg to the east.
In Évreux, 60 miles west of Paris, shops, businesses, a post office and two schools were destroyed, along with at least 50 vehicles, in Saturday night's most concentrated attacks. Five police officers and three firefighters were injured in clashes with young rioters, a national police spokesman said.
Despite help from thousands of reinforcements, the police appeared powerless to stop the mayhem. As they apply pressure in one area, the attacks slip away to another.
On Sunday, a gaping hole exposed a charred wooden staircase of a smoke-blackened building in the historic Marais district of Paris, where a car was set ablaze the previous night. Florent Besnard, 24, said he and a friend had just turned into the quiet Rue Dupuis when they were passed by two running youths. Within seconds, a car farther up the street was engulfed in flames, its windows popping and tires exploding as the fire spread to the building and surrounding vehicles.
"I think it's going to continue," said Mr. Besnard, who is unemployed.
The attack angered people in the neighborhood, which includes the old Jewish quarter and is still a center of Jewish life in the city. "We escaped from Romania with nothing and came here and worked our fingers to the bone and never asked for anything, never complained," said Liliane Zump, a woman in her 70's, shaking with fury on the street outside the scarred building.
While the arson is more common than in the past, it has become a feature of life in the working-class suburbs, peopled primarily by North African and West African immigrants and their French-born children. Unemployment in the neighborhoods is double and sometimes triple the 10 percent national average, while incomes are about 40 percent lower.
While everyone seems to agree that the latest violence was touched off by the deaths of the teenagers last week, the unrest no longer has much to do with the incident.
"It was a good excuse, but it's fun to set cars on fire," said Mohamed Hammouti, a 15-year-old boy in Clichy-sous-Bois, sitting Sunday outside the gutted remnants of a gymnasium near his home. Like many people interviewed, he denied having participated in the violence.
Most people said they sensed that the escalation of the past few days had changed the rules of the game: besides the number of attacks, the level of destruction has grown sharply, with substantial businesses and public buildings going down in flames. Besides the gunfire on Sunday, residents of some high-rise apartment blocks have been throwing steel boccie balls and improvised explosives at national riot police officers patrolling below.
The police discovered what they described as a firebomb factory in a building in Évry, south of Paris, in which about 150 bombs were being constructed, a third of them ready to use. Six minors were arrested.
Many politicians have warned that the unrest may be coalescing into an organized movement, citing Internet chatter that is urging other poor neighborhoods across France to join in. The Justice Ministry announced today that it had arrested three youths who had called for rioting and attacks on police on their Web sites, though it stressed that the three did not know each other. No one has emerged to take the lead like Daniel Cohn-Bendit, known as Danny the Red, did during the violent student protests that rocked the French capital in 1968.
Though a majority of the youths committing the acts are Muslim, and of African or North African origin, the mayhem has yet to take on any ideological or religious overtones. Youths in the neighborhoods say second-generation Portuguese immigrants and even some children of native French have taken part.
In an effort to stop the attacks and distance them from Islam, France's most influential Islamic group issued a religious edict, or fatwa, condemning the violence. "It is formally forbidden for any Muslim seeking divine grace and satisfaction to participate in any action that blindly hits private or public property or could constitute an attack on someone's life," the fatwa said, citing the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad.
Young people in the poor neighborhoods incubating the violence have consistently complained that police harassment is mainly to blame. "If you're treated like a dog, you react like a dog," said Mr. Diallo of Clichy-sous-Bois, whose parents came to France from Mali decades ago.
The youths have singled out the French interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, complaining about his zero-tolerance anticrime drive and dismissive talk. (He famously called troublemakers in the poor neighborhoods dregs, using a French slur that offended many people.)
But Mr. Sarkozy has not wavered, and after suffering initial isolation within the government, with at least one minister openly criticizing him, the government has closed ranks around him. Mr. Chirac, who is under political and popular pressure to stop the violence, said Sunday that those responsible would face arrest and trial, echoing earlier vows by Mr. Sarkozy. More than 500 people have been arrested, some as young as 13.
"The republic is completely determined to be stronger than those who want to sow violence or fear," Mr. Chirac said at a news conference in the courtyard of Élysée Palace after meeting with his internal security council. "The last word must be from the law."
The government response is as much a test between Mr. Sarkozy and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, both of whom want to succeed Mr. Chirac as president, as it is a test between the government and disaffected youths.
Mr. Villepin, a former foreign minister, has focused on a more diplomatic approach, consulting widely with community leaders and young second-generation immigrants to come up with a promised "action plan" that he said would address frustrations in the underprivileged neighborhoods. He has released no details of the plan.
If the damage escalates and sympathy for the rioters begins to fray, Mr. Sarkozy could well emerge the politically stronger of the two.

France Reacts to 'shockwave of riots'
Times Online November 07, 2005
By Simon Freeman and agencies, and Charles Bremner of The Times in Paris
French police made 395 arrests last night as riots intensified for the 11th consecutive night, with violence and fire engulfing towns from the North to the Mediterranean.
In the impoverished suburbs and satellite towns around Paris, where the unrest began on October 27, churches, schools and warehouses were set alight. At least 1,408 vehicles were destroyed, many more than on previous nights, and the random attacks have spread into the heart of the city.
In Grigny, south of the capital, a gang of around 200 youths are reported to have lured police into a housing estate before opening fire with hunting rifles. At least 30 officers were injured, two seriously with lead pellets in the legs and neck.
Riots broke out in beacons of disaffection across the country from Lille, on the border with Belgium, to Montpellier on the Mediterranean coast. In Toulouse, police used tear gas to disperse a mob. Cars were set alight on the streets of Nantes, Orleans, Rennes and Rouen, and youths in St Etienne forced passengers off a bus before burning it. Churches were set ablaze in northern Lens and southern Sete.
Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister, was due to outline a series of restrictive measures in an attempt to restore order later today. The proposals are expected to include fast-track trials and a further hardening of security. There are already 2,300 additional police on patrol and around 1,100 people have been arrested.
M de Villepin has been criticised for his failure to intervene earlier, instead leaving the potentially damaging problem to his rival Nikolas Sarkozy, the interior minister. M Sarkozy inflamed tensions by describing the rioters as "scum".
In Strasbourg, youths stole a car and rammed it into a housing project, setting the vehicle and the building on fire. "We’ll stop when Sarkozy steps down," the defiant 17-year-old driver told an Associated Press reporter.
Police are calling for a night-time curfew in affected areas and some senior officers have demanded that troops are brought on to the streets.
Michel Gaudin, France's most senior police officer, said today: "We are witnessing a sort of shock wave that is spreading across the country."
President Chirac said last night that tackling the trouble was an "absolute priority" and called an emergency meeting of senior Cabinet members responsible for security.
After the meeting with ministers, M Chirac said: "The last word must be with the law." Those sowing "violence or fear" would be "arrested, judged and punished."
The French President's first public announcement since the unrest began was designed to reassure a population that has grown outraged over the rioting by youths, mainly of Arab and African origin, who have set fire to cars, stoned police and firemen and attacked shops, schools and businesses.
The unrest started in the poor Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, after the deaths of two teenagers of Mauritanian and Tunisian origin. The youths were accidentally electrocuted as they hid from police in a power substation. They apparently thought they were being chased.
The subsequent outburst of anger has since fanned out into a nationwide show of disdain for French authority, high unemployment, poor housing and discrimination.
MPs in M Chirac’s Union for a Popular Movement have questioned the President’s delay in speaking. François Hollande, leader of the Socialist Opposition, said that M Chirac’s entire Government was in question. UMP leader.
Australia and Japan today became the latest countries to issue a travel warning, joining Britain, Canada, Russia and
the United States by issuing public advisories that, while not
calling for trips to France to be avoided altogether, recommended
caution.
Although the pronouncements from the Government remain combative rather than conciliatory, M de Villepin is also due to meet education leaders in an attempt to address the underlying causes of the anger.
"These are young people who are generally resigned, they face discrimination everywhere, for housing and work, and their malaise gets expressed in violence," said Ahmed Touabi, the principal of an elementary school in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil.
"They feel Rejected by France, and They want to spit on France."

URBAN REVOLT IN FRANCE: About thirty policemen injured in the eleventh night of violence .- The French Government will today announce concrete measures to tackle the crisis
A man was in a coma after the attack suffered last Friday in the town of Stains, a suburb of Paris, died today, according to his widow, making it the first fatality in the wave of urban violence in France. Throughout last night, the eleventh of unrest, at least thirty police officers were injured by buckshot from hunting weapons, more than 1,400 cars torched and nearly 400 people arrested. Two agents are in serious condition, and in a suburb of Paris, a boy of 13 months has been hospitalized after being hit by stones thrown at a bus. Ads of the French Government, which yesterday stood as a priority the restoration of order, have not borne fruit to the worst violence since May 68.
On leaving a meeting with Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, the widow of Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec the press expressed the hope that those responsible for the death of her husband "punished", and says that Sarkozy has promised to "do everything possible to help us." The meeting with Minister of Interior has also assisted a neighbor of the deceased, Jean-Pierre Moreau, who was attacked by the same individuals.
According to Moreau, Le Chenadec and he were at the door of his house when two men approached and one of them asked what they were saying. In answering that "our cars", one punched him in the face of the deceased and he fell to the ground. Le Chenadec and Moreau had been stoned an hour before the fatal assault in the same place, trying to prevent blazed a paper. For Moreau, which he described as "cowardly" to his attackers, since has said he approached them with his face covered, the attack was "premeditated."
Police said the clashes occurred this evening again across France, from which two weeks ago declared near Paris after the deaths of two youths electrocuted in a transformer in hiding from the forces of order. The Home Office has provided claims data from the eleventh night of violence: 1,408 vehicles burnt, 395 arrested and 30 policemen injured.
agents have been wounded in Grigny, south of the French capital shot by pellet gun and two of them, both in riot gear, have been hospitalized with serious injuries, police said. "Clearly sought to harm us," he told radio station France Indo wounded one officer, who was hit in the face. The interior minister has visited the two wounded in the hospital and met with other riot control agents. Restoring
order Yesterday was the second emergency meeting of the French Government, this time to the voice of the orders of President Jacques Chirac, who is entrusted to the law as a "last word" to end violence street. On Saturday, the minister Interior promised "firmness and justice" and threatened with harsh prison sentences; hours later lived the tenth night of urban revolt is tearing the French model of integration.
On Saturday, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, held an emergency meeting of eight ministers and then filtered through a Sarkozy-tough message could not cowering to the dawn. Yesterday, Chirac took a step forward and emerged from the shadows that had sheltered several days to call a special meeting of the Homeland Security Council (cabinet crisis which holds monthly meetings.) In addition to De Villepin and Sarkozy attended by Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie, Justice, Pascal Clément, Employment, Jean-Louis Borloo, Economy, Thierry Breton, and Education, Gilles de Robien. Although
had been leaked to the press that there would be no public statements, Chirac said yesterday at the end of the meeting that "the law will have the last word," troublemakers "will be arrested, tried and punished," and the measures announced De Villepin will be announced today. "The absolute priority of [the government] is the restoration of security and public order. The Republic is determined by nature to be stronger than those who want to sow violence or fear, "he added.
By early afternoon yesterday de Villepin and Sarkozy met with heads of law enforcement in the neighborhoods most affected. Interior Minister repeated: "Those who commit such actions will be held accountable before justice." Earlier, the Ministry of Justice said prison sentences up to one year for some of those tried by these riots. The left, in opposition, Chirac lashed out yesterday against opening of the first social secretary, François Hollande, who said: "I would like to hear the words of Jacques Chirac today not just compassion (...) y un silencio molesto: hay que asumir sus responsabilidades”.

In answering that "our cars", one punched him in the face of the deceased and he fell to the ground. Le Chenadec and Moreau had been stoned an hour before the fatal assault in the same place, trying to prevent blazed a paper. For Moreau, which he described as "cowardly" to his attackers, since has said he approached them with his face covered, the attack was "premeditated."
Police said the clashes occurred this evening again across France, from which two weeks ago declared near Paris after the deaths of two youths electrocuted in a transformer in hiding from the forces of order.

The interior minister has visited the two wounded in the hospital and met with other riot control agents. Restoring

On Saturday, the minister Interior promised "firmness and justice" and threatened with harsh prison sentences; hours later lived the tenth night of urban revolt is tearing the French model of integration.
On Saturday, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, held an emergency meeting of eight ministers and then filtered through a Sarkozy-tough message could not cowering to the dawn.

Riots in France claim first fatality
A man who was beaten by an attacker while trying to extinguish a trash can fire during riots north of Paris has died of his injuries, becoming the first fatality since the urban unrest started 11 days ago, a police official said Monday. Youths overnight injured three dozen officers and burned more than 1,400 vehicles.
Apparent copycat attacks spread to other European cities for the first time, with five cars torched outside Brussels' main train station, police in the Belgian capital said.
Australia, Austria and Britain became the latest countries to advise their citizens to exercise care in France, joining the United States and Russia in warning tourists to stay away from violence-hit areas.
Alain Rahmouni, a national police spokesman, said the man who was beaten died at a hospital from injuries sustained in the attack, but he had no immediate details about the victim's age or his attacker.
The man was caught by surprise by an attacker after rushing out of his apartment building to put out the fire, Rahmouni said.
Clashes around France left 36 police injured, and vandals burned 1,408 vehicles overnight Sunday-Monday, setting a new high for overnight arson and violence since the rioting started Oct. 27, national police chief Michel Gaudin said.
The mayhem started as an outburst of anger in suburban Paris housing projects and has fanned out nationwide among disaffected youths, mostly of Muslim or African origin, to become France's worst civil unrest in over a decade.
Attacks overnight were reported in 274 towns and police made 395 arrests, Gaudin said.
"This spread, with a sort of shock wave spreading across the country, shows up in the number of towns affected," Gaudin said, noting that the violence appeared to be sliding away from its flash point in the Parisian suburbs and worsening elsewhere.
It was the first time police were injured by weapons fire amid signs that rioters were deliberately seeking out clashes with police, officials said.
Among the injured police, 10 were injured by youths firing fine-grain birdshot in a late night clash in the southern Paris suburb of Grigny, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said. Two were hospitalized but their lives were not in danger. One was wounded in the neck, the other in the legs.
The unrest began in the low-income Paris suburb of
Clichy-sous-Bois, after the deaths of two teenagers of Mauritanian and Tunisian origin. The youths were accidentally electrocuted as they hid from police in a power substation. They apparently thought they were being chased.
There have been 4,700 cars burned in France since the rioting began, and 1,200 suspects have been detained at least temporarily, Gaudin said.
The growing violence is forcing France to confront long-simmering anger in its suburbs, where many Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with high unemployment, racial discrimination and despair -- fertile terrain for crime of all sorts as well as for Muslim extremists offering frustrated youths a way out.
France, with some 5 million Muslims, has the largest Islamic population in Western Europe.
Meanwhile, the government faced growing criticism for its inability to stop the violence, despite massive police deployment and continued calls for calm.
President Jacques Chirac promised stern punishment for those behind the attacks, making his first public address Sunday since the riots started.
"The law must have the last word," Chirac said after a security meeting with top ministers. France is determined "to be stronger than those who want to sow violence or fear, and they will be arrested, judged and punished."
France's biggest Muslim fundamentalist organization, the Union for Islamic Organizations of France, issued a fatwa, or religious decree. It forbade all those "who seek divine grace from taking part in any action that blindly strikes private or public property or can harm others."
Arsonists burned two schools and a bus in the central city of Saint-Etienne and its suburbs, and two people were injured in the bus attack. Churches were set ablaze in northern Lens and southern Sete, he said. The extent of damage was not immediately clear.
In Colombes in suburban Paris, youths pelted rocks at a bus, sending a 13-month-old child to the hospital with a head injury, Hamon said, while a daycare center was burned in Saint-Maurice, another Paris suburb.
Much of the youths' anger has focused on law-and-order Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who inflamed passions by referring to troublemakers as "scum."
In Strasbourg, youths stole a car and rammed it into a housing project, setting the vehicle and the building on fire.
"We'll stop when Sarkozy steps down," said the defiant 17-year-old driver of the car, who gave his name only as Murat. Under arrest, he and several others awaited a ride to the police station have smoke Poured From The Windows of the housing project behind 'em.

initiative needed : The call of women
We are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters ... We are nieces, aunts, cousins, friends, lovers or neighbors. We are half the population. Half the sky. Half of the world. Look closely: the pictures of neighborhoods in flames ... not a woman!
a time when a minister irresponsible and belligerent insult our friends and our families, French, immigrants, foreigners ... At a time when he claims "clean neighborhoods Karcher," or "eliminate the scum" ... At a time when we mourn the death of two children, Refugees in unclear circumstances in a power substation ...
a time when we weep and mourn the death of a man beaten to death in Epinay because he was photographing a lamppost ...
At the time blazing cars, schools, police ... We solemnly appeal to end the violence that can end in an even more dramatic.
Because our children need vehicles to go to work or find employment. They need schools to acquire the necessary knowledge. They need social centers free
prevention and care, need access to any medical application. They
need buses to get around. They need fire to save lives and extinguish fires. They need to send postal mail. They need public services
useful to the community.
WE CALL first to our children, our loved ones: we demand that they ¹ go home, and they calm down! We demand it because we've given birth. Because we have brought and fed. Because without us they would not exist. They have no right to destroy the life we have given them. They make us ashamed to be like accepting the insult made to them. No, they are not scum. They are not waste that ¹ is cleaned. These are human beings who deserve respect, equality, dignity. Like everyone, they have rights but also duties.
We call on police to respect scrupulously the republican rules.
We also appeal to donors of lessons that we despise and ignore us, those who introduced the deplorable policy of "big brothers" that we see the disastrous results, which do not negotiate with the churches and the imams who remove subsidies and policing, which stirring up hatred and confusion, and we use the stick at every turn, never give us the means to live in dignity.
Behind this policy, there is also a contempt for women, those fighting in the neighborhoods, who are fighting, who build, with means and woefully inadequate aid, strategies to fight against violence: women relay, women solidarity, women stand up!
WE DEMAND a real plan ¹ emergency suburbs for a real social policy for all, a policy of prevention and family support in early childhood, school policy to meet its challenges, a real policy of social mixing and end ghettos.
WE WILL BE IN THE BURN AREAS THAT, AND WE CLEARLY WITH OUR RELATIVES IN SILENCE AND PACIFIC. WE URGE THAT APPEAL TO ALL WOMEN.
We must be thousands, interpose for us, and to end the violence.

How To Get Rid Of Dark Scars
The suburbanites have the right to security. The government must ensure social order and Republican
believe for a moment to talk of compassion for Mafia criminals and supporters of political Islam that hold citizens hostage and their families in the suburbs, is an accomplice in a fraud.
believe for a moment that the provocative profile of the interior minister are nothing but a scandalous attempt to use the situation for electoral referred is to be fooled.
As stipulated in Article 2 of the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen, citizens have the right throughout the national territory, and therefore in the suburbs, security. The responsibility for ensuring social order and Republican incumbent upon the government and not the "big brothers or imams of political Islamism"
That is why we can no longer tolerate the de facto alliance of the Minister Interior with offenders and mafia bosses of political Islam in the suburbs.
We can not tolerate longer than small groups, highly mobile and extremely well organized, the abuses multiplied.
We can no longer tolerate that citizens find their lives endangered by thugs ready for any physical violence, and even set fire to buses with passengers inside.
We can not tolerate any longer to see police officers being shot in the shotgun.
We can no longer tolerate that thousands of vehicles belonging to citizens of the suburbs to be burned.
We are sure the government would not let that happen in middle class neighborhoods. So there are double standards.
We can not tolerate any longer that schools, social centers, police stations, buses, workplaces are also destroyed by fire. The destruction of public services to ensure the principle of solidarity for all citizens is a shameful crime.
Encouraged by the rhetoric of victimization of intellectuals, and even militant arsonists claiming to be left permanently stigmatizing the Republic, the neighborhood bullies and political Islam
planted in all the suburbs, the seeds an organized war against the working classes and the social model without the Republican government would react accordingly.
Admittedly, the interior minister and the government bear a responsibility overwhelming at this situation. Besides the outrageous about Nicolas Sarkozy, who has removed the local police, and any prevention policy to build without restraint is the only policy on enforcement is lax on the most serious. For example, while thousand police were at Stade de France for a football game, the elected leftists demanded that the police had not arrived. Turning back to the virtues of the republican model, he bet on communitarianism to deliver society and the social body to neoliberalism.
For that, betraying the secular principles of our country, he wants to put religion at the heart of society, for charity shall replace Republican solidarity, as evidenced by its recent anti-secular proposals to fund construction of mosques and the salaries of imams through public funds.
But the irresponsible speech of the Minister of Interior can not be alone generator of these incidents. It should propose a comprehensive policy to emerge from this crisis:
- first to end the faster this intolerable situation by disabling incapacitating offenders and mafia bosses of political Islam in the suburbs , and by ceasing to buy social peace with their representatives.
- other hand turn back to what has been done for 30 years. It takes a real emergency plan in these suburbs. In all districts, there must be a post office, health center, a support center for families of the masses at birth, a nursery and a public child care, bus stops, a police a school with adequate resources and school policy at the stake, a recreation center, a youth and culture, etc.. But above all a strong political will to ensure that these efforts are not sabotaged on a daily basis by groups or individuals who have declared war on the integration and equality between men and women, who want to keep under their thumbs all the people in their neighborhoods.
These people are those who most need the Republic and secularism to emancipate themselves from damage of liberalism and communitarian guardianship, whether of a mafia or fundamentalist. The UFAL be at their side to lead this struggle.

Stop Bleeding On Roof Of Mouth
Kabbalah, a mystical study
Mysticism Jewish, based on the esoteric interpretation texts can be read as a study of spirituality and imagination.
Kabbalah Is it fashionable? In recent years, since Madonna and other celebrities interested in the Kabbalah Centre (an American organization controversial, located around the world), the Hollywood version of Jewish mysticism is the subject of regular reports and investigations. It is chic to wear the "red thread", a remedy against the evil eye as given "Kabbalistic". But in smaller rooms where it is taught and practiced far from the glitz and accessories Kabbalah is revealed as rich and demanding, complex and difficult to grasp. "Never ask your way to someone who knows him, because you could not get lost," said Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, illustrates Kabbalist of Central Europe in the eighteenth century.
To understand Jewish mysticism, it should therefore go astray. One Sunday evening in central Aleph, a place and a Jewish cultural association in Paris before more than a hundred people, Rabbi Marc-Alain Ouaknin, university professor, philosopher and writer, puts forward a new interpretation of the first letter of the book Genesis, beth, Hebrew B which in that language, is also a word. For four hours, he will talk to Emmanuel Levinas, a hammer, Talmudists "foulosophes, genealogy, mode" provocative "and of course the Book. This work
rich and prolific lead to two interpretations of the beginning of the Bible. In the first, the text begins with a "maybe", a question: interpretation shows that it is somehow essential to interpret. The second, based on the original meaning of the word beth (house), in fact "the very possibility of human": "The Torah says the professor, begins with the need for man to have a house because the house offers the possibility of modesty, the hidden. That's because there's intimate there man. Two complementary interpretations of a crucial letter, as a small summary of the Kabbalistic practice of Marc-Alain Ouaknin. A multidisciplinary art based on the mastery of texts and tools of Kabbalah.
An ethic of constant rereading of the sacred texts
Rachel was attracted by this approach. "It lifts the spirit! I find poetry, humanism, reflection on philosophy and religion. Marc-Alain is a thinker who makes connections between different disciplines, a religion that goes beyond religion, which is not dogmatic, "she enthuses. Another student, artist Jean Daviot, for its part says that it found in the Kabbalah "An open outlook, which helped me in my work. Because art is above all light! "The infinite light of God, one of the most important topics of the Kabbalah.
This is officially born Jewish mysticism in the thirteenth century in Spain, with the Zohar, the " book of splendor ": an esoteric exegesis of the Pentateuch written by Moses de Leon in the name of a second-century Rabbi Simeon Bar Yohai. But according to the Kabbalists, it goes back to times much older: Adam himself, the first, would have passed on from generation to generation by blowing the secret of Hebrew letters, letters vested "divine sparks, debris infinite light. By his actions, through study and work on texts, the Kabbalist tiqqoun participates in the recovery of the scattered light, and therefore the primordial unity. This
and spirituality of the study, an ethic of constant rereading of the sacred texts. "It's hard work, patience and concentration. We must return dozens of times on the texts, and each time, we understand new things, "says Albert Soued, 70, retired engineer who is interested in Kabbalah for twenty years. Fascinated by the symbols, the man regularly gives a short course in his apartment or that of a student. Lydia is one of those "fascinated" is for him how to seek God. "We can try to catch it by human means," she said, and the Kabbalah is a good one. "
A patient study, a spirituality imaginative
Other courses are organized on the same principle, for small networks of friends. "It's a problem, and also the great advantage of the Kabbalah is that there is no hierarchy," notes George Lahy, editor in Aubagne (Bouches-du-Rhone). This specialist Kabbalah has created a concept of "bio-hermeneutics." "I apply on the body as Kabbalistic studying a text, "he says. With Marc-Alain Ouaknin, a friend and share the idea that "the important thing is the question," he developed a meditation technique Hebrew. Teacher too (he recently gave courses in Quebec and Switzerland), George Lahy knows the famous teaching of the Kabbalah Centers. If it does not overwhelm an already hotly contested move, he noted that Rav Berg, founder of the centers, "watered down a lot." "It's difficult," he said, the Kabbalah. "
In Paris, anyway, the local Center of the Kabbalah" runs a little slow, "according to the confession of Joseph Guedj, California member of the organization. If twenty people attend the course on Monday evening in a richly decorated, the rest of the time is not always assured. "People are not contactable here, says the American, they do not like being bothered on the phone and all ..." The French public would reject it high tariffs of the Centre, its display filled with books of Berg's site Internet that would strictly merchant?
Maybe that audience is there simply happiness in the many courses offered for tens years in France. Large and small from these courses have not increased dramatically in attendance, which remains constant. In the study, patient and creative texts. For a spirituality of imagination and 'what? .

An ethic of constant rereading of the sacred texts
Rachel was attracted by this approach. "It lifts the spirit! I find poetry, humanism, reflection on philosophy and religion. Marc-Alain is a thinker who makes connections between different disciplines, a religion that goes beyond religion, which is not dogmatic, "she enthuses. Another student, artist Jean Daviot, for its part says that it found in the Kabbalah "An open outlook, which helped me in my work. Because art is above all light! "The infinite light of God, one of the most important topics of the Kabbalah.
This is officially born Jewish mysticism in the thirteenth century in Spain, with the Zohar, the " book of splendor ": an esoteric exegesis of the Pentateuch written by Moses de Leon in the name of a second-century Rabbi Simeon Bar Yohai. But according to the Kabbalists, it goes back to times much older: Adam himself, the first, would have passed on from generation to generation by blowing the secret of Hebrew letters, letters vested "divine sparks, debris infinite light. By his actions, through study and work on texts, the Kabbalist tiqqoun participates in the recovery of the scattered light, and therefore the primordial unity. This
and spirituality of the study, an ethic of constant rereading of the sacred texts. "It's hard work, patience and concentration. We must return dozens of times on the texts, and each time, we understand new things, "says Albert Soued, 70, retired engineer who is interested in Kabbalah for twenty years. Fascinated by the symbols, the man regularly gives a short course in his apartment or that of a student. Lydia is one of those "fascinated" is for him how to seek God. "We can try to catch it by human means," she said, and the Kabbalah is a good one. "
A patient study, a spirituality imaginative
Other courses are organized on the same principle, for small networks of friends. "It's a problem, and also the great advantage of the Kabbalah is that there is no hierarchy," notes George Lahy, editor in Aubagne (Bouches-du-Rhone). This specialist Kabbalah has created a concept of "bio-hermeneutics." "I apply on the body as Kabbalistic studying a text, "he says. With Marc-Alain Ouaknin, a friend and share the idea that "the important thing is the question," he developed a meditation technique Hebrew. Teacher too (he recently gave courses in Quebec and Switzerland), George Lahy knows the famous teaching of the Kabbalah Centers. If it does not overwhelm an already hotly contested move, he noted that Rav Berg, founder of the centers, "watered down a lot." "It's difficult," he said, the Kabbalah. "
In Paris, anyway, the local Center of the Kabbalah" runs a little slow, "according to the confession of Joseph Guedj, California member of the organization. If twenty people attend the course on Monday evening in a richly decorated, the rest of the time is not always assured. "People are not contactable here, says the American, they do not like being bothered on the phone and all ..." The French public would reject it high tariffs of the Centre, its display filled with books of Berg's site Internet that would strictly merchant?
Maybe that audience is there simply happiness in the many courses offered for tens years in France. Large and small from these courses have not increased dramatically in attendance, which remains constant. In the study, patient and creative texts. For a spirituality of imagination and 'what? .

The brain of the Madrid bombings captured in Pakistan

TERRORISM: Identified by al-Jazeera television, Mustafa Setmarian Nasar have contributed to the preparation of the carnage that took 192 died in Madrid in 2004.
Diane Cambon Le Figaro, 4 November 2005
the alleged mastermind of the attacks of March 11, 2004 in Madrid (192 dead) was captured in Pakistan. Considered one of the founders of the English cell of al-Qaeda in the 90s, Mustafa Setmarian Nasar, alias "Red", was fleeing from the carnage in Madrid. The Arabic television al-Jazeera has been identified as the person arrested Monday in Quetta in Pakistan. Pakistani authorities said yesterday they were checking his identity.
Setmarian, 48, a naturalized Syrian English in 1987, is suspected of having been involved in the preparation the Madrid bombings, but Casablanca (May 2003) and London (July 7, 2005). English judge Baltasar Garzon is also considered a suspect in the investigation into the attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York. According to English police, it would be close to bin Laden since 1988. The United States has offered five million dollars for his capture.
In Madrid, where he resided since 1985, this father of three, married to a Spaniard, worked in both the trade and crafts as a journalist for magazines fundamentalists. Preacher at the Abu Bakr mosque in Madrid, he was responsible for recruiting young people to train them for jihad. According the magistrate Garzon, he trained dozens of "soldiers of Islam" by sending them to train in Afghanistan. Until 1995, when he moved with his family to London to lead the magazine al-Ansar, the GIA Algerian media window, "the redhead" put up the first Islamic cell in Spain.
Towards extradition
Setmarian used the Iberian Peninsula as a haven for Islamists prepared to wage jihad. In his entourage, there are several characters involved in the attacks on New York and Madrid: Abu Dahdah, who was sentenced in September by the English court to 27 years in prison, but also Serhan Ben Abdelmajid, alias "the Tunisian", which became the main organizer of the March 11 attacks. The trial against the perpetrators of the March 11, scheduled for next year, could lead the English courts to seek the extradition of Setmarian, while Madrid has no extradition agreement with Islamabad.

Restoring law and order throughout the territory of the Republic
By Alain Bauer, a criminologist
By Alain Bauer, a criminologist
These twenty years urban violence populate the media reports, political debates and public comments. Twenty years ago that each government is trying, with relative success, to treat each dimension of the problem: social prevention, urban policy, treatment of repeat offenders or ... and nothing seems to work. While it is difficult to acknowledge prevention have failed. Even should a policy worthy of that name ever existed. If local devices, pragmatic, results are sometimes obtained, the fragmentation of actors, very relative confidence between institutions, residents and associations, usually at night to the effectiveness of measures announced in Paris. Similarly, the purely repressive response, equally ideological that the whole social-80s, is dependent on the effectiveness of the entire criminal justice system and social consensus unattainable. What can one ask the Minister of the Interior as being the minister of police and policing? That is its mission, and if confusion sometimes appear on the roles (minister, parliamentary majority leader, presidential candidate for a fate) is that the dialogue takes place at various levels and face many different audiences, by staging television information. The real problem lies in the analysis of claims of French society against the decay slow but real neighborhoods of relegation, become segregated neighborhoods and sometimes secession. This demand is a demand for order and authority, but also justice. You should know all to hear.
Given the violence that comes as crime in what is new is often what has been forgotten, the public response can be than balanced. Between need, desire and pleasure, the three drives that generate violence, it is necessary to respond with tailor-made and not ready-to-wear. The answer is in the police presence, visibility and proximity: local units, patrolling and dialogue, anti-crime units, which act, especially at night, to ensure the public peace, intelligence units, which dismantle organized crime, even low-intensity, mobile units to manage public order. It is difficult to ask the same policy to practice missions as different in content or length. Instead of mobile units is essential for responding to the riot. But the settlement is a useful response time limited. It is through the reallocation of some staff that the Department of the Interior will win his bet to win back Republican districts as "sensitive."
recognize therefore the Minister of Interior the courage of his mission, but we also wonder about the place of others, very quiet except for Azouz Begag, in the management of a crisis that is not limited to the Seine-Saint-Denis. Curiously, the everyday urban violence or murder of a photographer fifties does not suffer the same interest in broadcast media. No more than the settling of accounts between gangs that are thirty dead and hundreds injured each year. There is still time to start working from a clear diagnosis of the situation and the implementation of appropriate measures. Go out the war of ideological confrontation therapeutic homeopathy specialists (and hopefully solve some social issue), chemistry (it's a little more serious but can be cured with antibiotics at all) and surgery (amputons quickly infected limb, watchtowers and response units to pourvoiront) to enter the path, albeit more difficult, complex and triple.
Time of exculpatory and indiscriminate repression must end for you get into the necessary balance between a true prevention, coordinated at national level - which is still not - policy deterrent and appropriate sanctions will include the fight against truancy. Victor Hugo explained that opening a school to close a prison. Bring a large proportion of juveniles in institutions, for example by removing the ultimate sanction of the system that provides for the exclusion, should avoid sending them to a prison system never adapted to the situation. The main victims of violence are the poor, women and immigrants or people of immigrant origin. Many people who face most often to offenders who are like them a social perspective. We'll have to fight against this injustice in What social violence.
is why the second leg, one which covers prevention, which has dragged on for twenty years behind the first, has become a major objective of the government. We must restore order and justice throughout the territory of the Republic. The order is visibly running. When will the other not?

It is not he who fired the third bullet at close range, which caused the death , "he told his wife to explain this request. On Thursday, the private Israeli television Channel 2 aired a documentary showing the shirt stained Mr. Rabin was blood on the night of his death.

Thursday's poll shows that it is considered a relative majority of Israelis as the best prime minister ever never had the Jewish state since its inception in 1948.

We're all to erase from the world map!, by Marek Halter
Who will cry with Me: " We are all Zionists to erase from the world map " as we cried out: " We are all German Jews ? This would have had to shout our grandparents when Hitler proclaimed that he would "wipe the Jews the map of Europe .
I discovered the Iranian president on a television screen in the Russian waiting room of the Moscow airport. He seemed calm and determined. The death of millions of Israelis seemed to be obvious.
Passengers of all nationalities who followed his speech with me were astounded. I was too. And surprised. Not that I believed the newly elected Iranian full of love for humanity, but I did not think he would take the risk of being shunned by other nations in publicly calling for the destruction of a legitimate state, recognized by all.
I was wrong. He risked nothing and he knew it. It has oil and, soon, the atomic bomb. He also knew that the leaders of democratic countries would not dare, now, after the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq and engage with the economic difficulties, causing a major political crisis in the world.
Certainly, the protests have been unanimous, but without result. No country has recalled its ambassador Tehran, even if only for consultation.
The Muslim world that Ahmadinejad clearly aspires to represent the political arena, as is in hiding Osama bin Laden, has not responded either. And yet, many Arab leaders were also targeted by the Iranian leader's speech.
No, no, no Muslim religious authority, no politician disassociated himself from the call to murder. Except ... the Palestinian Authority. And it is a great sign of hope.
Where are we with the duty to remember that we are hot ears for sixty years? What have we
learned from the cowardice of our parents in the 1930s? A politician had promised them hell. They thought that by shaking his hand in Munich, they gain paradise. In the absence of heaven, they left us a legacy of cemeteries.
Political scientists, commentators of all stripes will certainly apologize to the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They will discuss her inexperience, internal difficulties, the necessary response to international pressure, to "provocations " American ... Maybe.
But for dozens of Iranian Jews, representing one of the oldest Jewish communities the world, who were abducted by the secret police and who remain unaccounted for, these excuses do not change. Since they do not mitigate the pain of the Israeli and Palestinian mothers whose children die in the new wave of violence that the remarks of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad provoked.
must "wipe out the stigma of Zionism from the face of the earth of Islam," says the Iranian president. Do not we feel, we who are not Israeli, nor perhaps even pro-Israeli and most non-Jews, just Zionists, these days?
Friends, politicians from left and right, intellectuals, simple citizens of a country that I love you, admirable men and women I meet regularly at our many events for the defense of human rights, against racism, for peace, come and cry together against this new epidemic that threatens us. Epidemic more dangerous than bird flu, more tenacious as hurricanes and tsunamis: the epidemic of hate.
