No Algerian media has criticized this image (September 2008) An article published on the site ISM-France which denounces the hypocritical various positions of power and the Algerian press and intellectuals.
" can not be more Palestinian than the Palestinians " is apparently a statement by the Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia, speaking on question of the accession of Algeria to the UPM.
But what more Palestinian than Palestinians? Mahmoud Abbas? The man who wrote a book of 600 pages on his country once without using the word "occupation"? Mahmoud Abbas, the man who usurped power against the wishes of his people and with the support of Israel and after a boycott of the Palestinian people by the United States and the European Union? Mahmoud Abbas, the man with whom he remains no dignity except to gun down.
Several Algerian journalists have taken this argument to justify their account that Algeria should go sit in the company of Zionists. All of a sudden like that, Ouyahia became a man whose arguments are drunk as whey by a press that also never tired of saying it is fighting the power. As if Mahmoud Abbas représnetait even the Palestinians.
journalists and intellectuals, academics do not miss an opportunity to proclaim their admiration for the "Israeli democracy" (sic) that never emit any criticism against the military coopérataion and anti-terrorist (re- sic) between the Algerian and U.S. neoconservatives murderers and unconditional support of Israeli Zionists, and who admire the Zionist intellectuals, particularly French (Glucksmann and Lévy type). So even argue in favor of the horn of Enrico Macias!
That said, even if this article is welcome, I think we should go further and include all these journalists and intellectuals who now pretend to shed tears over the bodies Palestinians in Gaza.

Algiers: call neo-conservatism
By Bouchaïb Hadjeb
At a time when the Palestinian people struggle for their right to life and gives the world a magnificent lesson of heroism in a battle between gunmen asymmetric them ideal for a simple over-equipped soldiery; Arab rulers are illustrated best by the posturing without any real effect, at worst an active complicity in the Zionist crimes against their justified. In the end, everyone came together to make the choice of doing nothing criminal, so they have a formidable weapon to subdue the western supports the Zionist entity: oil.
The current posture of the Algerian government illustrates perfectly the concerns of these schemes Arab against any movement of popular support for the Palestinian resistance.
Apart from a few skillfully rallies organized by the authorities and certain related parties in power, any spontaneous action from the masses, or organized by the opposition, are violently repressed and contained by the regime feared that mobilization turns political contestation of the existing order reviled by the vast majority of Algerians.
In addition to suppressing any expression of solidarity of the Algerian people, power has joined the group of "Camp David" by accepting the imperialist project, supported by France, Union for the Mediterranean, one of whose objectives is the recognition of the Zionist entity by all Arab countries.
The move towards a reactionary posture of the Algerian government was only possible by the growing influence of a comprador bourgeoisie, with the former colonial power, even within the decision-making structures of the Algerian State. This comprador bourgeoisie gradually took control of the state by eliminating those who had fought to free Algeria, and that with the active support of the French state ; It seeks to maintain its "influence" in its former possession.
This comprador bourgeoisie has seeped into the workings of the Algerian government after independence when were incorporated into the military of former officers of the French army, who had spent much the Algerian revolution in uniform tricolor suppress the Algerian people. These ex-officers of the French army, including Mohammed Lamari, Belkheir Larbi, Mohamed Touati and Khaled Nezzar were offered positions of command within the military, despite opposition from nationalists such as former Colonel Mohammed Taha and Chaabani Zbiri. These men inglorious past finally took control of the Algerian military aircraft.
very symbol of these ex-officers of the French army which incorporated the Algerian army, the sinister General Franco-Algerian Khaled Nezzar, was, logically, one of the staunchest supporters of the "normalization" of Relations between Algeria and the Zionist Entity.
It should be noted that the butcher of October 1988 had a certain admiration for Entity usurper as inspiration, to quell the rebellious Algerian youth, the methods used by his colleagues in the Zionist colonial army . At the same time, they repressed the uprising of Palestinian chabab had taken the lead in the first intifada.
General Nezzar was supported in his betrayal of the Palestinian cause by a comprador intelligentsia, the left daughter of French colonial which continued to claim, as the chronicler of mankind, Hassan Zerrouky, it should not be "more Palestinian than the Palestinians" . These pens and microphones of imperialism have repeatedly to delegitimize real support of Algeria to the Palestinian cause.
The current Minister of Culture Khalida Toumi Messaoudi former, who did not hesitate these days to fly the Palestinian keffiyeh and mourn the fate of a forgotten people, had illustrated in 1996 by going to the Zionist entity where it Binyamin Netanyahu assured of our full understanding about their strikes on the Palestinian resistance.
It is now well beyond the time Algiers was the "Mecca of the revolutionary" as the White City became a tourist stop for political and neo-conservatives and reactionaries.
fidayines The Palestinian, George Habbachi, Abu Jihad and Abu Iyad and other Third World leaders such as Che Guevara or Almicar Cabral fighting for the liberation of their peoples have given way to regular visits by various advocates of the reaction and Zionism, in the person of Andre Glucksmann who recently justified the massacres in Gaza, Alexandre Arcady, Bernard-Henri Lévy and other Schemla Elizabeth.
This shift is especially more striking given that the Palestinian revolution was always regarded by the Algerian nationalists, as the sister of the Algerian revolution. Algerian revolutionary leaders maintained a very close relationship with senior Palestinian nationalists.
The newly independent Algeria, made his own fighting Palestinians in regaining their legitimate rights. An Algerian official, Mohamed Khemisti, said while the UN General Assembly: "Neither the Algerian people, nor his government can not tolerate the continuation or reissue anywhere nightmare lived in Algeria where colonialism badly plowed the flesh of the Algerian people. " (1)
At that time, the political power of Algeria had decided to link so carnal fate of the two peoples. "There will be no freedom for Algeria without that of Palestine" be proclaimed before Congress Advisory PLO in 1964.
Ahmed Ben Bella became the first Arab ruler to officially receive the militants of Fatah. By 1963, he decided to welcome in the Algerian barracks Palestinian fidayines to teach the "art of war."
Today the Algerian people in the name of a common history of struggle against colonialism, and outrage at the massacres in Gaza, trying each day to show solidarity and support to the Palestinian people martyred and heroic resistance. Defying authority, daily spontaneous gatherings are organized to say no to the unspeakable, not horror. Every day the protesters are bullied, abused and punished by the "blue dogs" of power.
Despite the repression, of Belcourt at Bab El Oued, the neighborhoods of the Algerian capital want to express their solidarity with the resistance the Palestinian people who became the symbol of the fight against all injustices and all forms of oppression.
Palestinian resistance carries with it The hope of the oppressed to liberate themselves from their chains. Moreover, these events ignored by a press at attention you demonstrated the same message, the Arab nations refused the "normalization" of relations with an artificial colonial state that does not party regional reality.
The Palestinian cause is present in the hearts of people upholding justice because, as stated Ahmed Ben Bella "She has played an important historical role in favor of all free men in the world" (2).
Sensing its importance, the former Algerian head of state wanted a continuation of that role "because it serves not only the Arab and Islamic cause, but also that of the third world and all those fighting for the advent of a better world "(3).
