Une leçon digne de Gandhi Bilingue F-A: Version bilingue F-A
Contre ceux qui pensent que « l’homme n’est pas un arbre » et qu’à ce titre il ne saurait avoir de racines et encore moins de droits quant à sa présence sur un sol porteur d’une longue mémoire ancestrale (ceci pour mieux inciter les naïfs à se jeter sur les routes de l’exil sans frontières de la mondialisation heureuse), Ahed Tamimi aura apporté le démenti le plus cinglant qui se puisse concevoir.
Un geste qui est et restera comme un acte d’une grande portée contre l’arrogance de ceux qui, par une ahurissante contradiction, revendiquent pour leur propre compte le territoire d’autrui et entendent se l’arroger sans partage et sans retour.
Against those who think that “men are not trees”, so that they shouldn’t have roots, and even less rights to remain present on a soil loaded with a long ancestral memory (which can only encourage suckers to throw themselves on the roads of the borderless exile marketed under the name of “globalization”), Ahed Tamimi has brought the most scathing denial that can be conceived.
Her gesture will remain as an act of great significance against the arrogance of those who, by means of a bewildering contradiction, claim as their heritage the territory of others and intend to grab it without any possibility of sharing or return.
