Mediterranean Media Center: 07/01/2014

Lots of important interests.

No Mediterranean issue is limited to a single country.

Another chapter. What an odd assortment of suitors.

It is amazing that these got built in the first place. What is the history of such tunnels around the Mediterranean?

No one ever said this was simple.

Such a sad situation.

Israel does not merit a pass on this. It's too outrageous, but the Jewish lobby inevitably will have its obnoxious way on this, I fear.

How to make the most of this?

Elsewhere in the Mediterranean?

Nice to see the top three spots occupied by Mediterraneans!

The search for truth in the fog of war.

We have to make this better.

Glad that went well!

Look forward to a visit.

Good. I hope it remains peaceful and effective.

The country still has a long way to go.

A chronic Mediterranean problem.

Why not just make it one country with superb diversity and progress? I don't understand why the US especially persists in feeling we need to support a country that exists primarily to assuage consciences and to preserve a religion. We ought to be supporting countries that are non-discriminatory, diverse and thoroughly democratic. That's not Israel.

Rest of the Mediterranean?

The story just gets worse.

Is there one of these for all Mediterranean countries?

Another opportunity to change course and do the right thing.

He has lost his marbles.

What about other airports around the Mediterranean?

Always nice to see a Mediterranean country featured!

This sort of thinking strikes me as the only productive direction.

Worth a visit, I imagine.

We all should be concerned about his views and extremist positions.

Need to remember to contact these people.

Guilt is no excuse for these restrictions.

They just keep coming.

In the rest of the Mediterranean?

It's getting near decision time.

Why is it again that a "rassemblement" of young people to support this guy's political ego is ok but a "rassemblement" to support Palestinians is barred? I don't get it.

"Le maire de Nice annonce par ailleurs organiser dans sa ville, les 6 et 7 septembre "un grand campus sous forme de forum pour tous les
jeunes UMP et, plus généralement, les jeunes de la droite française"."

It's just not sustainable.

There is no excuse for these deaths.

An important decision - for Nice - to be made soon.

I hope it happened and peacefully.

It all depends where you want to start the debate.

He has lost it entirely.

One thing for sure - he never goes away!

Free movement is about as fundamental a right as I can imagine.

Extremely discouraging.

Stupid - and not the perpetrator!

Way beyond outrageous.

Interesting idea. Why not real names?

It's not sustainable.

Compared to the rest of the Mediterranean?

At least in the case of Israel.

What is the state of drones around the Mediterranean?

Good for the pro-Palestinians.

This is, quite simply, a horrid decision. Freedom of expression does not get interrupted for national holidays or for anything else.

Lots more to work out here before peace can prevail, it seems.

The damage done may prove incalculable.

This is all a political move to be nice to Israel.

Here it is....

"A PROPOS
L'Université Internationale de la Mer a pour but de développer la connaissance de la mer, de parfaire la formation aux nouvelles technologies et de faciliter l'accès aux divers métiers de la Mer, dont le domaine est largement ouvert : allant de la Recherche Scientifique et de l'Enseignement Supérieur aux Techniques de protection et d'exploitation du milieu marin et littoral.
Les enseignements donnés à l'Université Internationale de la Mer visent principalement à approfondir les connaissances dans le domaine pratique et à apporter plus particulièrement une compétence technique fondée sur une approche réelle de la mer.
Sa vocation n'est pas d'être concurrentielle avec les autres établissements d'enseignement d'État ou privés, car ses programmes sont différents et occupent un créneau plus spécifique davantage orienté vers la compétence professionnelle, d'une part dans certains domaines techniques et, d'autre part, dans le domaine des relations avec les Universités étrangères avec lesquelles elle est liée.
L’Université Internationale de la Mer est un établissement régulièrement déclaré auprès des autorités académiques, membre associé à l'Université des Nations Unies, agréé par le Ministère de l'écologie, du développement durable, des transports et du logement."

Not sure what this is.

Elsewhere in the Mediterranean?

Interesting partnership.

It is really hard to imagine how awful this must be.

They seem pretty active.

Quite a lot of protection, it seems.

And so goes the war.

Compared to the rest of the Mediterranean?

If you cannot make a deal at the bargaining table, there are always bombs to be dropped.

It should not have to come to this.

Awful situation demanding of impartial justice on both sides.

Fascinating analysis.

Mediterranean impact?

The Mayor should take a walk around the block.

Stupider and stupider.

I hope they do the right thing.

Pretty fundamental. How does this work in Mediterranean prisons?

I fear the retaliation is and will be far worse than the crime. In the eyes of so many in Israel, the lives of young Israelis are worth so much more than the lives of others, not "chosen".

Power really is addictive.
