A CALL FOR GENOCIDE

Netanyahu, the likely next Israeli Prime Minister, stated that the aim must be to totally destroy Hamas. But when will they understand that to destroy Hamas they have to kill the majority of the Gza strip (and not only) Palestinian population ? that the Hamas popularity and support for just increased thanks to the last Gaza war ?

The Israelis, and many Western people including Obama, ask for Hamas to recognize the right of Israel to exist. Why don’t they also pretend the same from Israel ? that after 60 years, in fact after centuries, the Palestinians also have the right to a State, free an secure ?

The statement of Netanyahu can only be considered a call for genocide, he started, Olmert and Livni continued. Dark future for the Middle East. Obama and his Middle East envoy must act fast and firmly.

Olmert vs. Berlusconi (not to forget Netanyahu) [or ethics Italian style II]

They are both Prime Ministers.

One of a difficult country, at war (for its own choice), with a lot of internal problems among communities, in a political turmoil since years and with a little mafia...

The other one of a difficult country that managed to survive crazy politics for almost 50 years, demonstrating that it can survive without governments, faced with xenophobia entertained by the right,. Not facing the Mafia and its interlinks with politics.

Both face scandals, mainly for corruption.

Olmert resigns.

Berlusconi ,close to judgment expected to be negative for him, makes his lacquès voting two laws to protect the four highest ranking political officials from prosecution (why four and not three ? because he is number 4 of course!) and to stop legal proceedings for corruption among others (sic) to give priority to so called emergency trials related to security.

Two countries, two PMs, two ethics. True in Italy all pigs are equal but one is more equal than the others.

But there is something similar between Israel and Italy: the Israeli voters seem ready to bring back Netanyahu whose performance was not necessarily good. Italian voters brought back Berlusconi for the third time too….Is democracy still working?
