Invited by “The Friends of the newspapers Le Monde diplomatique and L’Humanité Vaucluse”, Karim Akouche was to be on April 26 at the Utopia cinema in Avignon, accompanied by Fatima Sissani, who realized a documentary on resistant women, to debate together, and with the public, on women struggle.
The director eventually betrayed the author of Allah au pays des enfants perdus (Allah in the land of the lost children) by refusing to argue with him on the pretext that he is a man, preferring to argue with a woman. A purely sexist argument from a woman who is supposed to be an activist for the equal rights of men and women. According to the author of Lettre à un soldat d’Allah – Chroniques d’un monde désorienté (Letter to a soldier of Allah – Chronicles of a disoriented world), the Franco-Algerian Fatima Sissani, also refuses to debate with him because being Kabyle, he should not have been traveling to Israel in September 2016. A statement of anti-Semitic nature.
There are two things that I hate the most in the world: hatred and censorship. Gagging me at the Utopia of Avignon, the director Fatima Sissani betrayed the great heroines whose portrait she sketched in her documentary. I dare to say it: she behaved with me in a cowardly way, without ethics or spirit of mind. As a false feminist, Mrs. Sissani refuses to debate with me because I am a man. As a false leftist, Madame Fatima refuses to debate with the Kabyle that I am because I went to Israel. In short, she unveiled her true identity, a hard, featureless face, dripping with hatred and misery, “. “Happy, the real people who have not seen anything,” he added.
Karim Akouche on his Facebook page
Karim Akouche denounced the hideous and hateful attitude of director Fatima Sissani. The latter’s behavior provoked a wave of indignation on social networks and several Internet users posted comments denouncing sexism, racism and, more precisely, Fatima Sissani’s antisemitism. There are several sharp comments, like this: “Do not be surprised, she is an Islamist-leftist activist”. Another spoke to say that the Algerian director has “a heart of stone with velvet gloves. Another speaker, who contrasts with the others, has spread over the honorable status of the Berber woman throughout its history to be indignant about the bad behavior of this Franco-Algerian woman in loss of bearings, Ms. Fatima Sissani.
In addition, many internet users have taken a stand on Karim Akouche’s visit to Israel, denouncing the antisemitism of this xenophobic woman. They even questioned the notoriety of this lady unknown to the general public. A user wrote the following:
This is the first time I hear about this lady, but it will not make her grow! Another schizophrenic, alienated to the tips of her nails! This famous trip to Israel, which hurts so much those whoare unable to do anything! The Egyptians, who have paid dearly for the two wars, 67 and 73, maintain diplomatic relations with Israel, just as all the Gulf countries, remains Algeria, at least its junta, which is waging a war against betrayed Algeria and who pretends to want freedom for the Palestinians, while he refuses it to his citizens!
Faithful to his convictions and viscerally attached to the freedom to say and write, Karim Akouche will continue to denounce all the fundamentals and biases of our disoriented time. He wrote in one of his scathing chronicles this:
Am I too free or is my era closed, turning into a “brothel”? All brimmed freedom is a damper. Every law that muzzles free speech is a tyranny. Any censored spirit is the victim of a crime against thought
