Uri Avnery Guerra elettorale

-
Appena passata la mezzanotte, il network arabo Al Jazeera(1) stava trasmettendo un documento relativo a Gaza(2). Improvvisamente la telecamera si voltò verso il cielo scuro. Lo schermo era buio come la pece. Non si distingueva nulla, ma si poteva udire un suono: oltre al rumore degli aeroplani, uno spaventoso, un terrificante boato.

Gideon Levy :The IDF and Shin Bet, where falsehood is the faith and evil is conscience

-
The IDF and Shin Bet, where falsehood is the faith and evil is conscience haaretz.com Look who’s talking, and about what: The chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces and the head of the Shin Bet security service are talking about “morals” and “ethics.” It’s like a slaughterhouse boss who dares to talk about animal rights, a prison warden who talks about freedom or the CEO of a cigarette company who talks about health. It briefly seemed as if Israel had finally woken up to hold a real debate on this summer’s war in the Gaza Strip. After all, Chief of Staff Benny Gantz wrote in his letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a “moral and ethical fault” and about the Shin Bet’s having “crossed all moral and ethical lines.” But this sanctimonious poesy was of course devoted to the ridiculous pissing contest over the Gaza war between Gantz and Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen, two manly men. A generals’ war always erupts when it becomes clear that the v...

It's well on its way. haaretz.com    The shock caused by the British public’s decision to leave the European Union is still fresh. The fall of the world’s stock markets and the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron are just the beginning of a long and tortuous separation whose consequences cannot yet be assessed. Is the entire EU on the brink of disintegration? Will Britain itself continue to be the United Kingdom? What are the vote’s implications for international coalitions — those bound by free trade agreements and those formed in order to wage war on terror? At this point, all that can be done in the face of these portentous musings is to examine the reasons for the decision to leave. The direct cause was ...
