I'm a few weeks late on this one, but it's worth posting nonetheless. On Counterpunch (here), Tariq Ali writes:
“Order for the indictment of Bernard-Henri Lévy before the Assize Court, and for his arrest:
We have determined that whereas investigation has established the following facts concerning the accused:- His unrelenting promotion of imperialism and Zionism,- His intellectual fakery, symptom of philosophical nullity amid the accumulation of capital and power,- His leveling of false accusations and calumnies against Iran,- His warmongering and advocacy of “humanitarian imperialism,”- His aiding in the creation and promotion of SOS Racisme to smother autonomous immigration movements,- His dissemination of false news likely to sow social and eligious discord between Christians and Muslims.
For these reasons, we rule that there is sufficient evidence against Bernard-Henri Lévy that he committed such acts, punishable under the Criminal Code, in regard to Articles 175, 176, 181, 183 and 184. We order the indictment of Bernard-Henri Lévy, to be lodged at the Court of Assizes of the department of Seine- Saint-Denis to be tried according to law.”Executed in Chambers, December 18, 2010.”
We've been following BHL's antics for some time: whether he is working some bad scholarship, blabbering about Icelandic volcanoes, or prevaricating about Israel/Palestine.
