Die in der “Jerusalem Post” erscheinenden Einschätzungen der Situation Israels von Caroline Glick sind immer zur Lektüre zu empfehlen.

Direkt soll hier wenigstens auf eine hingewiesen werden, die am 14. Juni erschien; eine “Israel- und Amerikakritik”, die nicht gerade Antizionisten und Antisemiten aus der Seele spricht, sondern aufweist, wie weit es der antisemitische Wahn schon wieder gebracht hat.

According to media reports, [US president G.W.] Bush believes that five years after his last speech on the subject on June 24, 2002, the time has come for an updated assessment of the situation. A lot has happened in the last five years both in Israel and in Palestinian society. A good way to understand our present circumstances is to recall that last speech, where Bush laid out his “vision” to bring peace to the Middle East by establishing an independent, democratic Palestinian state next to Israel on the west bank of the Jordan River on land that the League of Nations mandated in 1922 was to be reserved for the Jewish homeland.

in der “Jerusalem Post”.

PS: Selbstverständlich sollten und dürften sich auch überzeugte “USA-Kritiker” nicht gerade durch die Analysen Glicks bestätigt fühlen. Denn diese haben nichts mit dem hämischen Auftrumpfen gemein, wie es sich z.B. in der exemplarisch projektiven Suggestivfrage “Totgesiegt?” vor den brennenden Twin Towers auf der ersten “konkret”-Titelseite nach 9/11 äußerte.

From an article by Magdi Allam, quoted by Informazione Corretta:

Anche senza disporre di rivelazioni sul colloquio del 5 giugno tra Bashar el Assad e D’Alema, per capirne di più basta stare ai dati di fatto. A Damasco è stato il titolare della Farnesina a lasciar intendere in pubblico che si deve anche a Hezbollah e ad Hamas se le forze italiane in Libano, oltre duemila militari, non sono state bersagli di gravi attentati.
Alla domanda di una giornalista araba sui rischi per il nostro contingente, D’Alema aveva risposto che attacchi di terroristi legati ad al Qaeda erano stati prevenuti grazie alla «collaborazione della stragrande maggioranza dei gruppi palestinesi» (dunque anche del primo partito, Hamas) e «dell’esercito libanese e di tutte le componenti della società libanese» (quindi anche di Hezbollah).

Here is a slide show that has absolutely nothing to do with Mr Massimo D’Alema (well, yes… maybe a little with Hamas):

missile terror on sderotPS: Sderot is a town in Israel. Israel is a place where, according to prev¡ously “marxist analysts” like D’Alema, mainly people with “false consciousness” live.

Stephen Dedalus said:

Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer. Terror is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the secret cause.
