Isn’t it something the way the samenames that helped dismantle Yugoslavia and Serbia seem to be resurfacing to dismantle Israel? All the names that fingered Serbia as it dealt with terror are giving Israel the same trouble. They and their credibility and careers could have been demolished, these people stopped in their tracks, if anyone gave a damn about Western machinations in the Balkans. Instead they’re coming back to haunt more than just the Serbs.
Der Sekretär der italienischen Handelsgewerkschaft Flaica-Cub, Desiderati, legt italienischen Presseberichten zufolge Wert auf die Feststellung, dass es ihm und seiner Gewerkschaft nicht um einen “Boykott jüdischer Läden” (Juso-Aufruf) zu tun war, sondern – eher im Sinne der italienischen (europäischen) Gesamtlinken – um einen “Endboykott Israels“.
“Khaled di A-Rimal [Gaza], dice: ‘Noi bambini stiamo compiendo missioni di supporto per i combattenti di resistenza [di Hamas], trasmettendo messaggi sui movimenti delle forze nemiche oppure portando loro munizioni e cibo. Noi stessi non siamo consapevoli dei movimenti dei combattenti della Resistenza. Li vediamo in un posto, spariscono di colpo, poi ricompaiono da qualche altra parte. Sono come fantasmi; è molto difficile trovarli o ferirli.’ [Kul-Al-Arab (settimanale arabo-israeliano), 9 gennaio 2009]“
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):
PS: Sderot is a town in Israel. Israel is a place where, according to previously “marxist analysts” like D’Alema, mainly people with “false consciousness” live.
Fausto Bertinotti (Rifondazione comunista), derzeitiger Präsident der italienischen Abgeordnetenkammer, der in dieser gern “eine Art Volkshaus (casa del popolo)” sähe, pendelte vor kurzem zwischen Arafatistan und Israel, und zwar nicht nur, um einen “Verein Italien-Palästina” einzuweihen, die Universität von “Al-Quds” zu besuchen und zu fordern, dass “die Hamas Israel anerkennen (muss)”, sondern auch um klarzustellen, dass die israelische Regierung zugeben (muss), dass heute die Vertreter der vernichtungsantisemitischen Hamas ebenso wie die NSDAP-Volksvertreter im damaligen deutschen Volkshaus demokratisch gewählt wurden und die palästinensische Einheitsregierung ebenso repräsentativ ist wie die damalige nationalsozialistische unter Adolf Hitler es war – nein, stopp, Quatsch, hat er so nicht gesagt, sondern anders. In Wirklichkeit sagte Bertinotti dem Corriere della Sera zufolge:
Die Hamas muss Israel anerkennen und die israelische Regierung muss zugeben, dass die Hamas-Vertreter demokratisch gewählt wurden und dass die palästinensische Einheitsregierung repräsentativ ist.
Noch ein neues Weblog? Doch doch, sehr wahrscheinlich!
Denn obschon dies zunächst nur eine Fortführung der Seiten http://www.bendetto.com/pocodaridere/ und der entsprechenden Yahoo-Group sein soll, weiß der Autor noch nicht einmal sicher, ob es “das” oder “der Weblog” heißt.
Bei den beiden erwähnten Seiten ist bzw. war die Technik für ihn ein bisschen schwierig zu handhaben. Ja, zuletzt spielte sie ihm sogar böse Streiche, z.B. hier, wo ärgerlicherweise plötzlich mit Bezug auf den Herrn Massimo D’Alema von einem “italienischen Au enminister” die Rede war, was eventuell doch sehr erfreulich sein könnte, denn kümmerte D’Alema sich für eine Weile fast ausschließlich um italienische Wiesen, könnte das u.U. vielen, vor allem wahrscheinlich Juden, Amerikanern, Irakerinnen, Afghanen und gar Italienern durchaus ein Mehr an Entspannung bringen. D’Alema könnte dann sogar weiterhin “gut vorbereitet” (D’Alema über Condoleezza Rice) ebenso viel Mist machen, ohne dabei freilich Millionen Menschen in Gefahr zu bringen. Tatsächlich ist dieser Herr, der findet, die (jüdischen) Israelis (und wahrscheinlich überhaupt so gut wie alle Juden) hätten falsches Bewusstsein (und sonst auf dieser Welt wohl überhaupt niemand), und daher im Sinne der wahrscheinlich von ihm erfundenen “Gleichnähe” lieber mit der Hisbollah tanzt, die sie allesamt vernichten will, die jüdischen Israelis und die Juden allgemein, jedoch derzeit italienischer Außenminister. Und – zweite und letzte Korrektur – um ihn als solchen schön zu präsentieren, bezeichnete die “progressive” italienische Wochenzeitschrift “l’Espresso” ihn – mit seinem Vornamen spielend – nicht als “Il Massimo della”, was keinen Sinn ergäbe, sondern als “il Massimo della Pace”: was zugleich als “das Höchste an Frieden” und als “der Friedensmax” gelesen werden kann.
Italien will ein relativ großes Kontingent der „Friedenstruppe” für den Süden des Libanons bereitstellen. Der smarte Schnauzbartträger von den Linksdemokraten (DS) hat also schon mal auf höchster Ebene angedeutet, was die da machen könnten.
