Voici un extrait des conférences mondiales de Robert Fisk qui illustre l’histoire du dilemne que vous exposez :

"The narrative of events both through Arab and Israeli eyes, and through the often-biased reporting and commentaries of journalists and historians since 1948, now forms libraries of information and disinformation through which the reader may wander with incredulity and exhaustion. As long ago as 1938 (!) when the British still governed Palestine under a League of Nations Mandate, the eminent historian George Antonius, the Edward Said of his time, was warning of the danger of too much reliance on the vast body of literature already in existence, and his words are no less relevant today. Listen to this :

 ’It has to be used with care, partly because of the high percentage of open or veiled propaganda and partly because the remoteness of the indispensable Arabic sources has militated against real fairness, even in the works of neutral and fair-minded historians. A similar equality eviscerates the stream of day-to-day information as Zionist propaganda is active, highly organised and widespread. The world press at any rate and the democracies of the West is largely amenable to it. It commands many of the available channels for the dissemination of news, and more particularly, those of the English speaking world. ’
