More on #Qatar in protests by the opposition in #Israel:

A picture I took yesterday at a demonstration in #Jerusalem:

The text in Hebrew is a pun: הקטאר הטרויאני: the second word is the adjective "Trojan". The first word, קטאר, means Qatar. But sounds like the related word קטר: locomotive[*]. The colors are those of the Qatari flag. The silhouette is that of Prime Minister #Netanyahu.

Later on there were two actors, one with a fact mask of Netayahu and another dressed as a "Qatari Emir". I wrote before about this local #Qatargate:

Protesters are upset that while Qatar is considered to be a patron of #Hamas and generally of quite a few extreme Islamist groups, the Israeli government chooses it as a partner all too often.

[*] A bit of etymology: the word stems for an ancient word that is related to steam. As it happens, the the Arabic word for "train" is similar: قطار, vs. the name of the country that is قطر. It seems both words were coined in the era of steam trains.

À partir de portraits d’habitants de Jérusalem, Bernard BLOCH dessine un paysage poignant de cette région meurtrie.

Résumé

Une expérience citoyenne singulière proposée par le Réseau (théâtre) et le Théâtre GRRRANIT Scène nationale de Belfort

Au printemps 2016, Bernard Bloch a rencontré 60 habitants de Jérusalem dont le seul point commun était d’y vivre ou d’y travailler. À partir des paroles qu’il a recueillies, il a écrit le texte de son spectacle. Réunissant 10 comédiens professionnels, le spectacle a été joué 41 fois entre 2021 et 2023.

À propos du conflit israélo-palestinien, les discours sont pléthore, mais les paroles manquent. Après l’horreur suscitée par le massacre des civils israéliens le 7 octobre 2023 et par ses conséquences catastrophiques pour la population palestinienne, Eleonora Rossi, la directrice du GRRRANIT, a proposé à B.Bloch de recréer ce spectacle, mais sous une forme déambulatoire s’adressant plus à l’intime de chacun qu’à sa personne sociale.

More on the fires:

Dov Ganem, chairman of Israel’s Fire and Air Rescue Association: “It was the NF [New Israel Fund] that decided to plant non-native trees unsuited to the climate, solely to cover up the traces of the Nakba"
Also: "It was Netanyahu who chose to spend millions on his private luxury jet...instead of investing in a Supertanker firefighting aircraft. It is the settlers who are repeatedly caught committing arson"

"The occupation regime has been caught recycling old images from other countries to claim that the fires were started by Palestinians, but in fact security sources have admitted the blaze has spread from fires started by extremist Zionist settlers trying to burn the crops of Palestinian farmers"

This is karma at its best. Israel burned Palestinians to death in their tents. Ironically, Israel is now burning its own.
