NOT BOYCOTT OF JEWISH SHOPS
BUT DO NOT BUY GOODS MADE IN ISRAEL
AND IS OTHERWISE ;
BEEN AWAY FROM TANKS WITH THE STAR OF DAVID
In Rome, a wheel base of a trade union calls for a boycott of Israeli products in solidarity with the Palestinians. This has now resulted in a controversy. Also because under the heading of "Sale of dirty blood," an ambiguous passage of the wheel ("Boycott Israeli goods business in Rome very common in clothing stores in all major shopping streets ...») is read as an implicit call for a boycott of Jewish merchants, who have - as is widely known - many clothes shops in the capital.
The flier, distributed by Flaica (agro-industry and trade members from the Confederation of single base), has also caused outrage in the political world and national Roman, who has expressed solidarity in various forms with the community Capitoline Jewish, as is known, is completely away from the decisions of the Nazi government that dominates Israel.
President Nicola Zingaretti Province - widely rated by those who feel close to the cause of the Palestinians - he went to the Ghetto in Rome last week, expressing outrage and its proximity to the initiative of Flaica. A wheel
followed the mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno elected by the National Alliance ("mad and criminal initiative that brings us back to the past '), who bought goods in a couple of Jewish shops in solidarity. The president of the Lazio Region Piero Marrazzo, stating that it is facing "an act uncivilized, undemocratic and goes in the opposite direction of those who want peace," he decided to receive a delegation of Roman Jews just to underline his commitment. Meanwhile, the president of the Jewish Community of Rome Riccardo Pacifici announced that under the Mancino law (which punishes incitement to racial hatred) will denounce the authors of the leaflet. The confederal unions CGIL-CISL-UIL - have taken their part immediately distanced from the 'hateful flyer, "confident that the citizens of Rome saying" I will throw in the trash. " Alessandro Ruben, a member of Forza Italy and Honorary President of the Anti Defamation League in Italy, announced the presentation of a parliamentary question. And among the many
has risen also the voice of Massimo D'Alema , challenged recently by Pacific to its proposal for dialogue with Hamas, "Appeals of this kind - said D'Alema - do nothing but fuel a dangerous climate contrast, harmful to all those who want to work for peace in the Middle East. " Giancarlo Wanted , secretary of the Roman Flaica and signatory of the leaflet, however, appear to fall from the clouds: "There is no list or will be made available in stores that do not buy because of the Israeli community," explains. He added: "We talked about the boycott of goods produced in Israel, not the shops belonging to the Roman Jewish community, to which we express our full solidarity with the sufferings he endured in the past and recognize that consists of citizens and workers honest.

HOW TO BUILD
black laws
recovering from site Internet del
prof. Domenico Losurdo
questo suo intervento:
“Sfogliando su Internet le reazioni al mio ultimo libro (Stalin. Storia e critica di una leggenda nera, Carocci 2008), a canto ai commenti positivi e a quelli più critici si notano altri contrassegnati da incredulità: è mai possibile che le infamie attribuite a Stalin e accreditate da un consenso generale siano molto spesso il risultato di distorsioni e a volte di vere e proprie falsificazioni storiche? A questi lettori in particolare voglio suggerire una riflessione a partire dalla cronaca di questi giorni. And 'under the eyes of all the tragedy of the Palestinian people in Gaza, the first block from the hungry and now invaded and massacred by the terrible Israeli war machine. Let's see how they react to the major organs of "information". Corriere della Sera, 29 December, the editorial Piero Ostellino decision: 'Article 7 of the Charter of Hamas advocates the destruction of Israel only, but the extermination of the Jews, as well as supporting the president Iran's Ahmadinejad. " It is worth noting that, while making a very serious statement, the reporter does not contain any quotes text: it demands to be believed on the word. A few days later (January 3) on the same newspaper presses Ernesto Galli della Loggia . In truth, he no longer spoke of Ahmadinejad. Maybe you should be realized the accident of his colleague. After Israel, Iran is the country in the Middle East, which hosts the largest number of Jews (20,000), and they do not seem to suffer persecution. In any case, the Palestinians in the occupied territories could only envy the fate of Jews living in Iran, the latter not only were not exterminated but they should not even face the threat of 'transfer', which the Zionists more Radical plan for Israeli Arabs. Obviously, Galli della Loggia glosses over everything. It simply silent about Ahmadinejad. In contrast bolus injection on another essential point: Hamas does not only require "the extermination of the Jews," Israel, as claimed Ostellino. We must not stop halfway in denouncing the misdeeds of the barbarians, "Hamas calls for the elimination of all Jews from the face of the earth" (Corriere della Sera, January 3). Even in this case is not made a shred of proof: the scientific rigor is the last concern of Galli della Loggia, but to which we must recognize the courage to challenge the absurd: according to his analysis, the "terrorists" are intended to liquidate the Palestinian war machine not only Israel but also the U.S. in order to accomplish the infamy of which the editor of Corriere della Sera report the planetary scale. Moreover, those who are able to inflict a decisive defeat to the lone superpower, as well as Israel, can aspire to world domination. In short: it's like Galli della Loggia had finally brought to light The Protocols of the Elders of Islam! And as his time
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Protocols of the Elders of Islam also apply now as the truth does not need any experience and demonstration. On "La Stampa" of 5 January Enzo Bettiza immediately clarifies the true meaning of Israel's massive bombing triggered by air, sea and land, however, by recourse to weapons banned by international conventions, against a largely defenseless population, " , E 'a dramatic and violent police operation in a country threatened with extermination by a cult that has sworn to eradicate from the face of the earth. " This thesis, obsessively repeated, is part of a tradition worth. Eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the gentle Abbe Gregoire fought for the abolition of slavery in French colonies here and owners of slaves are branded as the leader of the "biancofagi," the blacks barbarians and eager to feed the flesh of white men. A few decades later, something similar happened in the U.S.: the abolitionists, often of the Christian faith and guidance of non-violent, demanded "the complete destruction of slavery", they were immediately accused of wanting to exterminate race white. Even in the mid-twentieth century, the champions of apartheid in South Africa denied political rights to blacks, with the argument that any black government would mean the systematic extermination of white settlers and whites as a whole. The Legend black in vogue today is particularly ridiculous: Hamas has repeatedly hinted at the possibility of a compromise if Israel agreed to return to 1967 borders. As everyone knows or should know, to make more and more difficult and perhaps impossible now the two-state solution is the continuous expansion of settlements Israeli Occupied Territories. And anyway, the replacement of today's Israel as a "Jewish State" with a bi-national state, embracing both Jews and Palestinians, ensuring their equal rights, would not in any way the extermination of the Jews, just as the destruction of White was the first race in the southern U.S. and then in South Africa certainly has not meant the annihilation of the whites. In fact, those who agitate ideally Protocols of the Elders of Islam seek to turn victims into executioners and executioners into victims. No less grotesque and mythologies are no less instrumental in vogue today in relation to Stalin and the movement community as a whole. Take the thesis of the 'holocaust of hunger "or the" terror famine "that the Soviet Union would impose on the people of Ukraine in the 30s. In support of this thesis and there is not any evidence. But even this is not the point. The black legend spread in a planned way at the time of Reagan at the height of the Cold War serves to obscure the fact that the "terror famine" in Stalin is blamed for centuries implementation in particular against the liberal West peoples colonial or that it would reduce or semi-colonial conditions.
That 's what I tried to show in my book. Immediately after the black revolution in the late eighteenth century in Santo Domingo / Haiti at the same time breaking the chains of colonial rule and the institution of slavery, the United States responded to the mouth of Thomas Jefferson, stated that he wished to reduce all'inedia (starvation) the country that had had the effrontery to abolish slavery. This same issue was revived in the twentieth century. Immediately after the October 1917, Herbert Hoover, at that Wilson administration time senior member and later president of the U.S., explicitly waving the threat of "absolute hunger" and "starvation" against not only Soviet Russia but against all people inclined to let themselves be affected by Bolshevik revolution. In the early 60's an employee of the Kennedy administration, that is, Walt W. Rostow, boasted to the fact that the U.S. had managed to delay for 'decades' economic development of China! It 's a policy that continues today: Everyone knows that the imperialists are trying to strangle Cuba economically and possibly reduce it to the condition of Gaza, where the oppressors can exercise their power of life and death, even before that with the terror bombing, already with the control of vital resources.
So we returned to Palestine. Before suffering the horror that is undergoing these days, the people of Gaza was hit by a prolonged policy of seeking to hungry, thirsty, deprive him of electricity, medicines, to reduce him to a state of exhaustion and despair. Especially since the Israeli government reserved the right to proceed as usual, despite the "truce", extrajudicial executions of his enemies. That is, before being invaded by an army similar to a huge and experienced the firing squad, Gaza was already subject to a policy of aggression and war. However, such a concentrated firepower is unleashed media especially in the West to crush all resistance to critical theory and false liar, according to which Israel is engaged in an operation in these days of self-defense: that no one dares to question the authenticity ; of the "Protocols of the Elders of Islam"! E ' so that the black legends are built, which today marks the tragedy of the Palestinian people (the people-martyr par excellence of today), as well as those, depicting Stalin as a monster and reducing crime in the history of events that began with the October Revolution, intend to deprive oppressed people of any hope or prospect of emancipation.

The highest legal body in the country has ordered the ban on Salafi current activities and prohibited the introduction and distribution of religious material in the country.
The religious authorities of Tajikistan in Salafism see a potential threat, able to divide society and for the practice of worship, and for the legacy that outlines the fundamentalist traits. They call on the faithful to gather in the Salafist mosques for prayer and adapt to the uses of the majority Sunni Hanafi, to avoid conflicts and divisions between the two souls of the Muslim country. Islamic terrorism, especially in the Sunni world, it is caused by Salafism, which is a literal attachment the tradition of the past, of those who preceded us (Salaf) and a strict interpretation of doctrine.

DOCUMENTATION
an article about ST & rsquo ; ANTONIO IN RUSSIA
PUBLISHED ON
"Messenger of Saint Anthony"
Cristina Sartori interviewed for the "Messenger of St. Anthony" (November 2008) Enzo Poiana the priest, rector of the Basilica of Padua, on the arrival in Russia. Loved the interview here.
Buzzard says: "(...) have passed only eighteen years since Russia opened its borders, taking a conciliatory attitude towards the religious presence 'foreign' unorthodox. She presented an opportunity to bring us to usher in Russia, St. Petersburg, a new church dedicated to St. Anthony's wanted by the Franciscans (...) Since the fall of the wall we have six active community: the community center in Moscow with the provincial superior, the caretaker of the brothers of Russia, a community in St. Petersburg, Astrakhan and then in the south of the country two thousand kilometers from Moscow to Elista this community since 1995, and then Kaluga Chernyakhovsk that we visited. As for St. Petersburg, the presence of our brothers is relatively recent. Between 1995 and 2000 there was an attempt to create a permanent presence here in the community and was built a building to accommodate, in addition to the religious community, including the seminar. The decision to buy the land to build a new small church came to us when we discovered that there was an ancient place of worship at St. Anthony which was destroyed during the Soviet regime, but of which the devotees continued to cherish the memory. The new church, adapted to the small Catholic community of the city, has in fact been inaugurated and blessed on 13 September with the reception of the relics in the presence of the apostolic nuncio to Russia, Archbishop Antonio Mennini , the vicar general of & rsquo ; Archdiocese the Mother of God in Moscow, and many priests. (...) There dialogue to "high places", but the yield of facts for the Orthodox Catholics are heretics. It should be borne in mind that the Orthodox entering a Catholic church threatened with excommunication (...) We went to Russia primarily to bring comfort to a community of Catholics who are suffering. Enjoy civil rights in common, but are considered foreign presence, even if the Russians. Our policy is the only Franciscan convent, together with that of the Jesuits, who obtained legal recognition from the state, but this because we were actually present for centuries in the land of Russia, even if our brothers were persecuted after the revolution. The scheme, first tried to destroy the roots of religious presence 'foreign' and then, once you understand it would not be possible to do so, he tried to control the Orthodox hierarchy and declared that "outlaw" anything that is not was Orthodox.

Cave, Slovenia
CRITICIZES ITALY
and reminds
THE SINS OF FASCISM
The Slovenian President, Danilo Turk , Italy criticism on the sensitive issue of sinkholes, accusing the Italian political class of''ethical''memory deficit of fascism, and opposes a''no''decision, at least for now, the idea of a meeting of historic reconciliation between the three presidents of Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. According to Turk, Ljubljana, quoted by the newspaper 'Delo', in Italy a deficit persists''ethical''on the faults of fascism. Guilt in respect of which was not yet acquired the necessary catharsis''''indispensable precondition - the second Slovene leader - to be addressed in proper perspective even violence against the Italians of Istria, Rijeka and Trieste made subsequently by the Yugoslav communist regime of Tito. Hence the belief that the tripartite summit of reconciliation, advanced since the days of President Ciampi,''is not useful at this time.'' Turk said that the historic reconciliation you can 'put only''in an ethical dimension.'' Dimension - in his opinion - from Italy''requires a clearer comparison with the crimes of fascism, totalitarianism was the first in this part of Europe and the source of innumerable evils suffered by''large'' part of the Slovenian people, as well as by many Italians.'' Turk - Said they agreed with the views expressed recently on the writer Boris Pahor Trieste and the Italian military prosecutor Antonino Intellisano - pointed out that in terms of Slovene (and Croatian) can not be forgotten,''the many crimes Fascists (against the Slav populations) remained unpunished during the Italian occupation.'' It challenged to''some important exponents of Italian politics''of wanting''to equate the fascists and those who fought them.'' He however added that, in a political sense, there is already 'a''high level''of reconciliation between Rome and Ljubljana, Slovenia and Italy as''part of the EU, which is the most important project of reconciliation and most successful in the history of the continent.'' While he noted that Croatia and Slovenia''there is a historical legacy requiring further gestures of reconciliation''. One glimmer of reconciliation with the excitement of the historic summit was open to three in recent days in an interview with the Croatian President Piccolo, Stipe Mesic, also the protagonist of a similar controversy in 2007 against Italy - in particular against statements attributed to President Napolitano - on the issue of sinkholes.
ANOTHER WORLD
IN 2009 IN CHINA
WILL BE 'THE YEAR OF PROTESTS
China will witness a wave of protests in 2009 while unemployment fuels social discontent . The newspaper writes a status, warning bluntly of the risks to the Communist Party government in the face of economic crisis. The report is unusually hard, published by the newspaper Outlook (Liaowang) this week and released by the press, reports that the economic downturn could raise the ire of millions of migrant workers and unemployed graduates.
"Without doubt, we are now entering a peak period for mass incidents," he told a reporter from Xinhua, Huang Huo , the magazine, using the euphemism used to formally define riots and protests.
"In 2009, the Chinese company to assist in further conflicts and confrontations that could test the ability of governments at all levels of party and government."
President Hu Jintao has promised to make China a "harmonious society", but will have to deal with the growing tension in the reduction of jobs and meager wages, as well as a long dissatisfaction with the corruption and the confiscation of land.
China is facing a difficult political year of anniversaries, in particular the 20th anniversary of the abolition of pro-democracy riots in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. A date that has already galvanized the campaign "Charter 08" of dissidents and activists calling for deeper democratic reforms.
The major threats to the social fabric of China will come from graduate students, who have in front of a labor market increasingly difficult and wages down and by a wave of immigrant workers who have lost their jobs after the closure of factories that rely on exports.
The factory closures, redundancies and difficulties in paying social security have already unleashed a wave of protests, according to the report.
Some statistical agencies have estimated that nearly 10 million immigrant farm workers have lost their jobs, as reported by the newspaper.
Including the graduate students in 2008 who have not found a job, there will be more than 7 million university graduates or college looking for a job this year, Huang calculated. The objective of the Chinese government to a GDP growth of 8% in 2009 will generate only 8 million new jobs throughout the country, added Huang. In 1989, students were dissatisfied at the base of the protests.
"If in 2009 there will be a large number of migrant farm workers without jobs who can not find work for six months or more, turning the city without an income, the problem will be even more serious" said Huang.
Huang is the head office of Xinhua in the city South Chongqing, long outbreak of riots. Other parts of China experienced local events against police abuse, corruption and factory closures.
Ian Bremmer, president of the political risk consultancy Eurasia, has recently outlined a more optimistic scenario, excluding a crisis of this kind in 2009.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said his government will be able to cope with difficult times: "We have the ability and confidence to ensure a stable and relatively rapid growth of Chinese economy and ensure social stability. "
The Chinese economy grew by 9.9% in the first months of 2008 over the previous year. But some economists doubt that the government can achieve the goal of an 8% growth in 2009. The Outlook report also pointed out that social discontent is more deeply rooted concerns about the growth of the sun, with politicized subjects that can explode.
