Interview report with Aymeric Caron
Gaza, historic turning and revealer moral
In this in -depth interview, the deputy Aymeric Caron returns to the situation in Gaza, which he describes as a historic turning point. He denounces passivity, even complicity, of a large part of the political, media and artistic elites in the face of what he considers as a genocide in progress. For him, this tragedy reveals a generalized moral bankruptcy.
Media: Disinformation and twice two measurements
Former journalist, Aymeric Caron violently criticizes the media treatment of the conflict. He claims to have never seen such a complete invisibilization of a camp in an armed conflict. While the Israeli victims are widely covered and humanized, the Palestinian deaths – however massive and documented – are minimized or ignored. He also denounces the systematic questioning of the figures provided by the health authorities in Gaza, while these are consistent with the observations of NGOs.
Artists: the failure of moral duty
Aymeric Caron castigates silent or relativistic artists. He notably criticized Leïla Slimani for her statement to the Cannes Film Festival, considered insensitive and distant. For him, an artist cannot be content to create beauty in a world on fire. He is responsible for positioning himself publicly, especially in times of mass crimes. The current silence of artists, often engaged in the past, is according to him a form of betrayal.
Anti -Semitism accusations: a disqualification strategy
Returning to his own experiences, Aymeric Caron talks about the charges of anti -Semitism he suffered for denouncing Israeli abuses. He sees it as a deliberate tactic, set up by Israel and relayed by organizations like CRIF, to silence any political criticism. He recalls that other personalities like Stéphane Hessel or Edgar Morin have been victims of the same campaigns. He insisted on the essential distinction between criticism of a state and hatred of a people.
Information locked by the financial powers
Aymeric Caron denounces the concentration of French media in the hands of a few billionaires. He claims that journalists in decision -making posts are forced to follow a line compatible with the interests of shareholders. He illustrates this point with a personal example: the censorship of an interview provided for in The Parisian Regarding one of his post-Covid books, criticism of capitalism.
Handling information: its networks as a media
Faced with the bankruptcy of the mainstream media, Aymeric Caron has chosen to use social networks as a vector of information. With his team, he checks and broadcasts videos from Gaza, provided by local journalists. This approach aims to compensate for media concealment and to allow citizens to access an undeveloped truth.
A call for collective conscience
Aymeric Caron concludes on a call to lucidity: the world is witnessing a genocide live, and those who are silent today will have to answer it tomorrow. He calls everyone to choose his camp, recalling that silence, in such circumstances, is equivalent to a complicity.
