A heedful idiot: A statement about the murder of young Mohammed Abu Khdeir

I want to share this statement
Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News: An open condemnation of the murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir
and also this more comforting article

Welcome!

The “heedful idiot” is the English version of “Un idiot attentif”, a blog that I started about two years ago. Why did I decide to publish it also in English? One of the main reasons is that more and more visits come from English speaking countries, especially the United-States. And, besides that, because English is the koinê (the universal language) of the globalised world.

Why “idiot”? Simply because Prince Myschkin – The Idiot – is one of my favorite characters, and Dostoevsky one of my favorite writers. And why “heedful”? Because I try to look at things, events, people, books... with opened eyes and being suspicious of the “politically correct”.

That being said, my English speaking readers will notice very quickly that my language ability is quite poor... So, please be indulgent, and don’t hesitate to correct me.

Please feel free to submit comments judged to be balanced. They can be posted easily, and another easy way to contact me is by e-mail, to unidiotattentif@gmail.com

More than 100 texts have already been posted on my original French blog. Of course, I shall not translate them all! I will first try to publish a English translation of the “top ten”.
