Animation | Vidéo : 3 minutes pour comprendre l’absurdité du conflit israélo-palestinien | Jeuneafrique.com
Dans le cadre d’un projet d’animation, la dessinatrice américaine Nina Paley a mis en scène l’absurdité du conflit entre Palestiniens et Israéliens. Et, au-delà, de toutes les violences que la région connaît depuis des centaines d’années.
Elle n’a eu besoin que de trois minutes et trente-deux secondes pour résumer l’éternel conflit au Proche-Orient. Dans This land is mine, une courte séquence animée, la dessinatrice américaine Nina Paley a tenté, à sa manière, de démontrer l’absurdité du recours à la violence par les différents peuples qui se disputent un bout de terre à peine plus grand qu’une région française.
On y voit défiler «l’homme des cavernes», symbolisant le premier occupant, puis les Cananéens, les Égyptiens, les Assyriens, les Hébreux, les Babyloniens, les Macédoniens, les Palestiniens, les Ottomans turcs et les Mameluks d’Égypte mais aussi des prêtres, des califes, des terroristes… s’entretuant à tour de rôle pour le contrôle de la "terre sainte".

Because you can’t tell the players without a pogrom!

Ptolemaic
Greek descendants of Ptolemy, another of Alexander’s competing generals, ruled Egypt dressed like Egyptian god-kings. (The famous Cleopatra of western mythology and Hollywood was a Ptolemy.)

Arab Caliph
Speaking of cartoon, what did an Arab Caliph look like? This was my best guess.

Crusader
After Crusaders went a-killin’ in the name of Jesus Christ, they established Crusader states, most notably the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Mamluk of Egypt
Wikipedia sez, “Over time, mamluks became a powerful military caste in various Muslim societies…In places such as Egypt from the Ayyubid dynasty to the time of Muhammad Ali of Egypt, mamluks were considered to be “true lords”, with social status above freeborn Muslims.[7]” And apparently they controlled Palestine for a while.

Ottoman Turk
Did I mention this is a cartoon? Probably no one went to battle looking like this. But big turbans, rich clothing and jewelry seemed to be in vogue among Ottoman Turkish elites, according to paintings I found on the Internet.

British
The British formed alliances with Arabs, then occupied Palestine. This cartoon is an oversimplification, and uses this British caricature as a stand-in for Europeans in general.

PLO/Hamas/Hezbollah….so were the people that lived there. Various militarized resistance movements arose in response to Israel: The Palestinian Liberation Organization, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
State of IsraelBacked by “the West,” especially the US, they got lots of weapons and the only sanctioned nukes in the region.
Guerrilla/Freedom Fighter/TerroristSometimes people fight in military uniforms, sometimes they don’t. Creeping up alongside are illicit nukes possibly from Iran or elsewhere in the region. Who’s Next?

The Angel of Death
The real hero of the Old Testament, and right now too.
