      Bonsoir Zek,

      Quel est l'intérêt de cette liste ? Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils sont arabes qu'ils adoptent les mêmes positions...
      ça me fait penser au scandale de la liste publiée par les altermondialistes pour appuyer l'article de Ramadan sur la pensée communautaire en France (juif et Israël) : il y a eu une lever de boucliers incroyable, on a parler d'antisémitisme, d'essentialisme, on a fait le rapprochement avec les listes de déportés...etc.

        Bonjour, l'intérêt, c'est que ces Arabes aspirent à devenir de plus en plus puissant, comme n'importe quelle communautée, puisque l'Amérique n'est pas homogène.

          Bonjour, l'intérêt, c'est que ces Arabes deviennent un loby de plus en plus puissant.
          Salut Zek,

          Ce n'est comme ça que se constitue un lobby, publier les noms ne sert qu'à attirer l'attention sur eux et leurs créer des problèmes (en leur mettant la pression d'un côté comme d'un autre).

          Pour qu'il y ai un lobby, il faudrait au moins trois choses :
          - Un organisme dans lequel ils se reconnaîtraient tous et qui parlerait en leur nom + opération médiatique régulière.
          - Un intérêt commun (le fait qu'ils soient arabes ne veut en aucun cas dire que c'est le cas): prenons juste l'exemple du Forum, il y a une majorité d'algériens et pourtant ils ne sont pas d'accord entre eux sur les événements du Proche Orient.
          - Des moyens financiers importants pour la médiatisation, influencer les congressistes...etc.

          L'argent investit par les saoudiens aux USA peut-être un moyen de pression important mais on sait que les Saoudiens ainsi que les pétro-monarchies ne feront rien...

          Cordialement

            Il faut que les arabes et musulmans aux USA créent un lobbie aussi puissant que l'AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). Un lobbie sans lequel aucun candidat américain ne passera à la présidence. L'argent est là mais il manque une cohésion comme celle des juifs pour l'état d'Israel. Espérons que cette guerre à Gaza sera un catalyseur pour les musulmans du monde entier.
