| > LES PACIFISTES ISRAELIENNES |
Photographs by Pierre-Yves GINET / Taïga |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| La spirale de la violence a eu raison de nombreux espoirs, en Israël, depuis le début de la deuxième Intifada. Aujourd'hui, le "camp de la paix" connaît une importante désaffection et rares sont les Israéliens qui osent encore prôner la nécessité d'un dialogue sans conditions avec les Palestiniens. Malgré le climat de haine, comme chaque vendredi depuis 1988, des dizaines de femmes manifestent toujours à Jérusalem. Et d'autres les imitent à Tel-Aviv, Haïfa et dans une dizaine de villes d'Israël. More... Israël - 29 images - added December 2003 |

Photographs by Carmen Secanella / ZOOM |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For the past six years Ferran Adrià has maintained the maximum gastronomy qualification: three Michelin stars. Because of his creations he is considered "the Picasso of cuisine". His art consists in creating new dishes deconstructing the food. Based on its original flavour, playing with temperature and texture, he presents food in an innovative manner. Thus are born tortilla sorbets, potato foam or grilled watermelon. More... Spain - 34 images - added December 2003 |

| En Cisjordanie, à Gaza ou à Jérusalem est, les femmes palestiniennes sont plus que quiconque coincées entre les feux de Tsahal et des groupes armés palestiniens. Et nombreuses sont celles qui font face seules à la survie de leur famille. Comme tous, elles subissent le découpage des territoires palestiniens. Mais dans ce "Bantoustan palestinien", les femmes sont plus nombreuses à se heurter aux check points israéliens, postes de contrôles omniprésents sur le territoire palestinien où la vérification des identités prend des heures.

is one of the top five tourist destinations for the young English boys
and girls wanting to have FUN in the summer. Recently, the tabloid press
in England gave a lot of emphasis on the wild sexual games taking place
not only in Kavos but all over the hottest youth resorts in Greece. These
publications were echoed in the Greek press and media with the result
of Kavos being presented as the modern version of Sodoma and Gomorra where
everything is allowed especially in the sexual aspect;

THE IRAQI SHIISM, NO BUSH, NO SADAM |
Photographs
by LOUIS JAMMES /
Taïga |
| After
35 years of ruthless regime, the Baas party has crumbled, and the streets
are empty. The confused population waits, afraid of the vacancy of power.
It will take about 2 days before the citizens start to organize around
the local mosques; the Imans take things on and distribute roles. The
people start to leave their homes and slowly understand: Saddam is not
coming back. more ... Irak - 19 images - added September 2003 |

is 20 years old and sleeps in the mosque. His house was completely destroyed
by the bombardments. He finished his military service and knows how to
wield weapons. Iman Hussein, the great Prelate of Baghdad, has asked him
to organize the protection of the small Al-Alhan orphanage, one of only
two places in Baghdad where children are accommodated in a culture where
children are traditionally taken care of by their families. The institution’s
management has all left; the street is left to pillagers. more

| Now
that the US is nearly through with 'regime change' in Iraq, Syria could
be the next on queue for gunboat diplomacy. Washington has an agenda of
change for the Middle East which goes wider. It wants to encourage a "democratic
domino" effect, starting with Iraq. US Secretary of State Colin Powell
has said he expects to visit Syria very soon. Mr Powell said his trip
would also seek to push forward peace-making efforts between Israel and
the Palestinians. Syria says that it remains open to a settlement with
Israel but only if it gets the whole of the Golan Heights back, more
