Puisque @fil évoque les Yes Men, pour mémoire (juillet 2009) : The Yes Men : Why the Yes Men Said "No" (#BDS)
▻http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-yes-men/why-the-yes-men-said-no_b_224409.htmlA few weeks ago, I was telling an Israeli filmmaker friend how excited I was to be going to Jerusalem. Why are you coming to Jerusalem? he asked. Our film is in the Jerusalem International Film Festival, I told him excitedly. You can’t go, he said, and then explained why. It was like a bucket of freezing cold water had been poured on my head.
I lived in Jerusalem many years ago, and loved it for all kinds of reasons. I was really looking forward to going back. But over the next several days, we spoke to many Israelis and others who either supported or didn’t support the boycott. And we came to realize that we had to boycott the festival, which, incidentally, is run by a progressive bunch of people and attracts a progressive audience.

What Is a Gift? by The Yes Men
►http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-yes-men/what-is-a-gift_b_2145514.htmlIf you give someone something you stole from them, it’s not a gift. If you give someone money you owe them, it’s not a gift. If you wrongfully collect rent, knowing your tenants can legally refuse to pay because you’re not providing basic services, and then you give part of that rent back two months later — that’s certainly not a gift.
Got it? Good. Now, what a gift actually is....
