Indonésie-Gaza : Blogueurs contre médias à propos de Gaza
Les médias traditionnels indonésiens, en particulier certains journaux et stations de télévision pro-islamiques, ont réagi violemment à la guerre entre les Israéliens et les Palestiniens. A travers ces médias, nous pouvons voir que des groupes extrémistes proposent une “une formation militaire” pour que certains aillent combattre en Palestine pour le jihad . Les médias ont également signalé que ces groupes ont mené des raids contre quelques synagogues et qu'ils accusent “les juifs” d'Indonésie d'être “responsables” de ce qui se déroule dans la bande de Gaza. Dans des mosquées indonésiennes, les prêches du vendredi ont abordé l'actualité. Certains [fidèles] considèrent que le conflit est une guerre entre l'islam et “l'ennemi de l'islam”. Israël représentant “les juifs”, tandis que les États-Unis qui défendent traditionnellement Israël, représentent “l'Occident” et “les chrétiens”.

Maltraitée par une tradition qui privilégie les hommes, la gent féminine s’est mobilisée et vient d’obtenir une première victoire sur le plan juridique. Une évolution lourde de conséquences. Fin 2010, Ketut Widi, une jeune mère de famille balinaise, a reçu une bonne nouvelle et une mauvaise.

It is in fact a challenge for all liberal democracies, including Indonesia. How does the state achieve a balance between pragmatism and principle in foreign policy objectives? There are a number of problems in Natalie's piece, however, which render her overall argument problematic.
