<p>Bat-Zion&#8217;s main preoccupation is to tell the world the truth about <a class="zem_slink" title="Israel" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20%28Israel%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Israel</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Jews" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews" rel="wikipedia">Jews</a> worldwide! She is commendable and I admire her courage and clarity of thought and stance. We are tired of fabrications and manipulation of facts, not to mention of the silence media keeps over very serious, tragic happenings befalling Jews and <a class="zem_slink" title="Christianity in the Middle East" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_the_Middle_East" rel="wikipedia">Christians in the Middle East</a>, but not only; the oppressed are all those who have a heart, mind and ideas of a better, freer world! In the ME people are no longer free to be and to worship, as in the West we are no longer free to speak and to write truths. Only the One above knows how much suffering is real for so many, imposed by so few &#8211; including the mindless and ignorant intelligentsia and those who feed it. =========================================================== In 1982, <a class="zem_slink" title="Primo Levi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primo_Levi" rel="wikipedia">Primo Levi</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Italian Jews" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Jews" rel="wikipedia">Italian-Jew</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Auschwitz concentration camp" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.0358333333,19.1783333333&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=50.0358333333,19.1783333333%20%28Auschwitz%20concentration%20camp%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Auschwitz</a> survivor, famous writer and scientist said in a televised interview &#8220;He that denies Auschwitz is the same that today is ready to do it [make it happen] all over again.&#8221;                                                                 In un&#8217;intervista rilasciata alla <a class="zem_slink" title="RAI" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.9177777778,12.4663888889&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=41.9177777778,12.4663888889%20%28RAI%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">RAI</a> nel 1982, Primo Levi, ebreo-italiano, grande mente e grande uomo, sopravissuto di Auschwitz ha dichiarato al giornalista che l&#8217;accompagnava nel suo secondo viaggio verso Auschwitz: &#8220;Chi nega Auschwitz e&#8217; quello che e&#8217; pronto a rifarlo&#8221;. Perche&#8217; Auschwitz puo&#8217; essere dietro l&#8217;angolo.</p>

<p><strong>Tomorrow,</strong> January 27<sup>th</sup>, diplomats at the United Nations and leaders across Europe will gather for <strong><em>International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust</em></strong>.</p>
<p>But the international community must go beyond solemn moments of silence and begin to speak out against global <a class="zem_slink" title="Antisemitism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism" rel="wikipedia">anti-Semitism</a>, including Iran&#8217;s State-sponsored <strong>Holocaust denial campaign that </strong> denigrates the victims of <a class="zem_slink" title="The Holocaust" href="http://www.history.com/topics/the-holocaust" rel="historycom">the Shoah</a>, demonizes the <a class="zem_slink" title="Jews" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews" rel="wikipedia">Jewish people</a> and the <a class="zem_slink" title="Israel" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20%28Israel%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">State of Israel</a>.</p>
<p>That campaign includes animated videos based on a notorious 2008 Iranian book of Holocaust denial cartoons whose preface brazenly seeks to <strong>“denounce the conspicuous lie of the ‘planed [sic] murder of 6 million Jews during the <a class="zem_slink" title="World War II" href="http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii" rel="historycom">Second World War</a>’ allegedly called ‘Holocaust’.&#8221; </strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>In recent days, the <a class="zem_slink" title="Simon Wiesenthal Center" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.0538888889,-118.401944444&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=34.0538888889,-118.401944444%20%28Simon%20Wiesenthal%20Center%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Simon Wiesenthal Center</a> has <strong>succeeded in getting YouTube to remove most of these anti-Semitic and Holocaust denial animated video cartoons from its link on an Iranian website – </strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swcpublicrelations/6761767519/" target="_blank"><strong>watch videos</strong><strong><br />
</strong></a><br />
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has also:</p>
<p>•<strong>Called upon UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon</strong> and other leaders to use the International Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations to <strong>denounce the <a class="zem_slink" title="Politics of Iran" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Iran" rel="wikipedia">Iranian regime</a>&#8216;s Holocaust denial</strong> campaign</p>
<p>•<strong>Alerted Facebook about a vicious bigot in Tehran</strong> promoting violence against Jews &#8211; <strong>his page was immediately removed</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
•<strong>Generated public awareness</strong> through a series of op-eds and news releases in the US and Europe</p>
<p>History confirms that left unchallenged, anti-Semitic libels ultimately ignite anti-Jewish acts. <strong>Thirty-five years after the Simon Wiesenthal Center was created to fight anti-Semitism and preserve the memory of the Shoah our work never been more critical.</strong></p>

<p>Se questo è un uomo<br />
di <a class="zem_slink" title="Primo Levi" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primo_Levi" rel="wikipedia">Primo Levi</a> &#8211; Edizioni Einaudi</p>
<p>1. Voi che vivete sicuri nelle vostre tiepide case</p>
<p>Se questo è un uomo</p>
<p>“Voi che vivete sicuri<br />
Nelle vostre tiepide case,<br />
Voi che trovate tornando a sera<br />
Il cibo caldo e visi amici:</p>
<p>Considerate se questo è un uomo<br />
Che lavora nel fango<br />
Che non conosce pace<br />
Che lotta per mezzo pane<br />
Che muore per un sì o per un no.<br />
Considerate se questa è una donna,<br />
Senza capelli e senza nome<br />
Senza più forza di ricordare<br />
Vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo<br />
Come una rana d’inverno.</p>
<p>Meditate che questo è stato:<br />
Vi comando queste parole.<br />
Scolpitele nel vostro cuore<br />
Stando in casa andando per via,<br />
Coricandovi alzandovi;<br />
Ripetetele ai vostri figli.</p>
<p>O vi si sfaccia la casa,<br />
La malattia vi impedisca,<br />
I vostri nati torcano il viso da voi.”<br />
(Primo Levi, Se questo è un uomo, Einaudi, <a class="zem_slink" title="Torino F.C." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_F.C." rel="wikipedia">Torino</a>, 1976, p.1)<br />
===</p>
<p>&#8220;Parte del nostro esistere ha sede nelle anime di chi ci accosta: ecco perché è non-umana l’esperienza di chi ha vissuto giorni in cui l’uomo è stato una cosa agli occhi dell’uomo.&#8221;<br />

<p>Bat-Zion, Fiamma, Enrico Piccinini, mariana</p>
<p>Shalom Achoti, eyn kol baaya,</p>
<p>Mah Ha&#8217;Inyanim? Yesterday, I received troubling news from <a class="zem_slink" title="The Honourable" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honourable" rel="wikipedia">Hon.</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Fiamma Nirenstein" href="http://www.fiammanirenstein.com" rel="homepage">Fiamma Nirenstein</a>’ office in <a class="zem_slink" title="Italy" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.9,12.4833333333&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=41.9,12.4833333333%20%28Italy%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Italy</a> – the usual newsletter in <a class="zem_slink" title="Italian language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" rel="wikipedia">Italian</a>. She’s  unsettled and upset. She informs her public and her friends how she was portrayed in an <a class="zem_slink" title="Antisemitism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism" rel="wikipedia">anti-Semitic</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Cartoon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon" rel="wikipedia">cartoon</a>* &#8212; an <a class="zem_slink" title="Ad hominem" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem" rel="wikipedia">ad hominem</a> attack of the basest kind &#8212; (author publishes on a <em>commie</em> rag, of course!) some years back (2008). A <a class="zem_slink" title="Journalist" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalist" rel="wikipedia">journalist</a>, whom I believe is also a <a class="zem_slink" title="Politician" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politician" rel="wikipedia">politician</a>, wrote some counter-sarcastic article in her defense (cannot find the article  to illustrate facts fully; but it <a class="zem_slink" title="Wine tasting descriptors" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_tasting_descriptors" rel="wikipedia">balanced</a> the hatred the cartoon offered, that&#8217;s easy to understand, without offering hatred back).</p>
<p>The author of the <em>commie</em> cartoon – vulgar, vitriolic and basely anti-Semitic – brought the journalist-politician to court for <a class="zem_slink" title="Defamation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation" rel="wikipedia">defamation</a>. Defamation indeed! Hon. Nirenstein was supported at the time of the blatant <a class="zem_slink" title="Defamation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation" rel="wikipedia">defaming</a>, anti-Semitic attack also by the <strong><a class="zem_slink" title="Anti-Defamation League" href="http://www.adl.org/" rel="homepage">Anti-Defamation League</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Lately, an Italian enlightened magistrate, to call it a court is to give too much status and importance, took a seemingly anti-Semitic stance [not impartial if we considers the unbalanced <em>tit for tat</em>*] and finally condemned the journalist-politician for <em>defamation</em>, while the blatant <em>defamatory [ad hominem]</em> anti-Semitic cartoonist can flout impunity to this day!</p>
<p>No outrage, no disgust from any side, or so it seems. I was unable to find any resonance of this episode in main papers – perhaps I don’t know how to search, since I don’t read the Italian press much; I find it  trashy and ignorant, filled with bias and fabricated reporting. If one does not accept their [press] dogmas blindly, one is an idiot, punishable with serious consequences or simply dismissed &#8212; a true enlightened road to dialogue and balanced sense of argumentation.</p>
<p>With this judgment, we have clear confirmation that there are <em>two weights and two measures</em> everywhere we look, in Italy and elsewhere: such is our world, and I don’t know where to begin to look for or demand factual truths. Even close friends (ex-close friends perhaps) refuse to listen to or analyze facts, and to open their eyes to reality.</p>
<p>The eternal question remains: who can benefit from the truth? Why is truth hard to face, particularly by totalitarian minded people and movements. If anyone has an answer, a balanced one, I&#8217;d love to have it, too</p>
<p>That’s the latest for today… hopefully!</p>
<p>*reminder of another cartoon, not an <a class="zem_slink" title="Ad hominem" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem" rel="wikipedia">ad hominem attack</a>, just an ironic depiction that created an enormous brouhaha in and around the West media et alia &#8211; the hypocrites!</p>
<p>Hakol B&#8217;seder</p>
<p><em>Blessed is the One Who keeps His promise to <a class="zem_slink" title="Israel" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20%28Israel%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Israel</a>, blessed is He. That the Holy One, Blessed is He, calculated the end, just like He told Avraham our father at the covenant between the parts, as it says, (Breishis 15:13-14) &#8220;And He said to Avraham, &#8216;Know with certainty that your children will be strangers in a land not theirs, and they will enslave them and oppress them four hundred years, and also the nation that oppresses them I will judge and afterwards they will go out with a great wealth.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Negli ultimi decenni tanti cristiani si sono allontanati dalla chiesa di Roma [Church of Rome], per motivi più o meno validi, più o meno personali, anche se l’istituzione è molto cambiata dai tempi della mia infanzia e giovinezza, e non in meglio. La Fede radicata nel mio spirito è ciò che conta, insieme alla Parola: l’<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Antico e il Nuovo Testamento</span>, [the Bible] con o senza filtri, restano la base della mia religione, della mia fede, della mia religiosità con e verso il mondo intero. Le mie radici sono Giudeo-Cristiane, profondamente occidentali, e il messaggio contenuto, e che è la base del Cristianesimo, è stupendo e illuminante, oltre che trascendente.</p>
<p>Lo scetticismo e l&#8217;alienazione vengono in parte, per il settarianismo all&#8217;interno dell&#8217;istituzione e lo spirito di protagonismo di coloro al timone; in parte, per la mancanza di coerenza verso i dettami del Cristo, dell&#8217;Antico e Nuovo Testamento, esibiti anche  e sempre ancora nell&#8217;odio e nella persecuzione degli ebrei. Questo senza ragione e senza causa, semplicemente per perversione e per l&#8217;ipocrisia sotto cui si nascondono verita&#8217; scomode e oscene dei pupettari che manovrano i destini di noi cristiani.</p>
<p>Almeno, pero&#8217;, come cristiani abbiamo diritto di dire e scrivere cio&#8217; che pensiamo sulla nostra chiesa e sulla nostra religione, senza incorrere in decapitazioni, censure e persecuzioni legali e non. Non e&#8217; lo stesso se parliamo di culti e ideologie oscene, che la nostra chiesa istituzionale sostiene, non comprendendone l&#8217;implicazione, mentre continua a perseguitare e disprezzare gli ebrei per partito preso.<br />
Non sono uno di questi cristiani che si e&#8217; allontanato, ne&#8217; uno di quelli ipocriti. Solo un essere umano fallibile e debole, con l&#8217;umilta&#8217; di chiedere e dare perdono, e guardare al Cristo come al mio <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Redentore</span>.</p>
<p>L’elemento umano che circonda il mondo della religione istituzionale onestamente fa specie, spesso e volentieri – le ultime notizie dalla diocesi californiana col prelato padre, ecc. – ma ho incontrato tanti uomini di chiesa integerrimi e probi che son stati d’esempio per me e per i miei figli e che hanno ispirato e sostenuto il mio cammino, da veri cristiani illuminati, che mai hanno<em> scagliato la prima pietra</em>, ma aiutando a risollevarmi. Vorrei sottolineare che sono divorziata, sì, lo so, anatema, e quindi scomunicata, ma vivere da cristiana implica molto più di dogmatismi e dogmi e di politiche di vario genere. Seguire l’etica e la morale, sfuggire e denunciare ipocrisie convenienti al dio denaro, fra le altre cose, non mi è stato impedito dal divorzio, anche se la chiesa-istituzione, nella sua secolare miopia, mi nega i sacramenti e probabilmente non mi considera più parte del consesso dei cristiani.</p>
<p>Continuo ad andare in chiesa, sono e mi sento cristiana, per pregare, per assistere alla Messa, o solo per riposare il mio spirito un po’ ammaccato dagli incidenti e traversie della vita. L’edificio chiesa rimane ancora il Sancta Sanctorum, il luogo dove vengo per stare bene, per sentire la Caritas [amore per i fratelli] da vicino, per dare Caritas indietro… ma non sempre l’edificio e l’elemento umano si unificano nel trasmettere Caritas e pace divina.</p>
<p>L’omelia di un vescovo non mi ha riscaldato il cuore questo Natale, come avevano fatto altre omelie, di ufficianti meno importanti ma più attenti al cuore e allo spirito del loro gregge, pronti a dare amore, il loro e quello di Dio. Pare che Sua Eccellenza l’ abbia dimenticato: che il Natale è la Festa dell’Amore e della gioia di noi figli esultanti all’evento che è l’inizio del nostro essere cristiani, che culminerà nell’apoteosi della <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Santa Pasqua</span> di <a class="zem_slink" title="La resurrezione" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_resurrezione" rel="wikipedia">Resurrezione</a>, dove si compie la nostra Redenzione – e quella degli uomini di buona volontà. Mi sono mancate le parole di amore, di conforto di sostegno morale e spirituale che hanno sempre caratterizzato il Natale; non ho sentito accoglienza, fratellanza, <em>Caritas</em> nel suo indirizzo ai fedeli raccolti intono a lui, egli fratello di ognuno di noi, uomo fra gli uomini, peccatore fra i peccatori, figlio di Dio fra i figli di Dio.</p>
<p>Invece, nel consesso, noi eravamo peccatori, l’officiante al di là del consesso, <a class="zem_slink" title="Primus inter pares" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primus_inter_pares" rel="wikipedia">primus inter pares</a> anche nel suo essere uomo, non uno di noi, esente da peccato, il giusto [sic], che (alla fine) <em>sgridava noi peccatori</em> per la situazione dei senzatetto, come se egli conoscesse la situazione di ogni fedele presente, tutti colpevoli a priori di omissione volontaria.</p>
<p>Ma come può un pastore errare così grossolanamente? Sapeva egli quanti disoccupati c’erano nel suo gregge, alla Messa [<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mass</span>] quella mattina? Conosceva egli la storia di ognuno di loro; di quanti sacrifici e di quante privazioni era costellata la loro vita? Si rendeva egli conto di quanti già aiutavano il loro prossimo, in modo consono al loro stato e senza mettersi in mostra?</p>
<p><em>Dignum et justum est</em> che un pastore ci guidi, ci esorti, ci spieghi e ci illumini, ma con esempi e gesti, non solo con parole; che ci faccia sapere che ci sono modi di far volontariato e  che l’aiuto verrebbe apprezzato, senza colpevolizzare o manipolare la coscienza, che non è manipolabile in coloro, e controproducente per coloro che sono a posto davanti a Dio – che degli uomini che si ergono a far le veci di Dio non importa loro poi tanto.</p>
<p>Inoltre, un pastore della <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Chiesa</span> così colto e intelligente come Sua Eccellenza, sa benissimo che coloro che non fanno e non vogliono fare non cambieranno idea per le sue parole di accusa. Infatti, la tragica situazione dei derelitti del mondo non riposa certamente sulle spalle dei pochi fedeli presenti nella sua chiesa quel Santo Giorno di <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Natale</span>; piuttosto direi che diventa un discorso così ampio, socialmente e politicamente complesso e non eviscerabile o esauribile in codesta Santa Celebrazione.</p>
<p>Amore, prima e unica condizione di vita, l&#8217;amor che con il sommo poeta e col Cantico dei Cantici riconduce a Lui, l&#8217;Altissimo, l&#8217;Immenso, la Luce e la Vita del mondo.  <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1019" title="#28-4215177433_16a32021eb_o" src="http://ilmondoedio.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/28-4215177433_16a32021eb_o.jpg?w=529&#038;h=721" alt="" width="529" height="721" /><em>l&#8217;Amor che move il sole e l&#8217;altre stelle</em></p>

<p>Dedicata a: Gabriella, Marcello A., Lucie, Pierre #sofarsocute, Danilo&#8230; e a tanti altri amici cari di flickr e non</p>
<p>Il sistema continuava a dare problemi con questa semplice foto. L&#8217;ho cancellata e rinserita. Vediamo ora&#8230;</p>
<p>*Un&#8217;alba come tante*</p>
<p>si sveglia il sole<br />
con uno sbadiglio<br />
annoiato</p>
<p>e&#8217; fredda l&#8217;aria<br />
del risveglio</p>
<p>i raggi s&#8217;intersecano<br />
e invadono<br />
il proscenio</p>
<p>lingue di fuoco<br />
informi<br />
contaminano<br />
l&#8217;orizzonte<br />
e il mondo intorno</p>
<p>rimane ancora<br />
uno stralcio di notte</p>
<p>ritorno<br />
al calore del mio letto<br />
c&#8217;e tempo<br />
per salutare<br />
l&#8217;alba</p>

<p>AUGURI Sinceri! &#8212; Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow&#8230; Happy 2012&#8230; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Christ</span> that is to be.</p>
<p>In Memoriam, [<a class="zem_slink" title="Ring Out, Wild Bells" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_Out%2C_Wild_Bells" rel="wikipedia">Ring out, wild bells</a>]<br />
<a class="zem_slink" title="Alfred, Lord Tennyson" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred%2C_Lord_Tennyson" rel="wikipedia">Alfred, Lord Tennyson</a></p>
<p>Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,<br />
The flying cloud, the frosty light:<br />
The year is dying in the night;<br />
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.</p>
<p>Ring out the old, ring in the new,<br />
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:<br />
The year is going, let him go;<br />
Ring out the false, ring in the true.</p>
<p>Ring out the grief that saps the mind<br />
For those that here we see no more;<br />
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,<br />
Ring in redress to all mankind.</p>
<p>Ring out a slowly dying cause,<br />
And ancient forms of party strife;<br />
Ring in the nobler modes of life,<br />
With sweeter manners, purer laws.</p>
<p>Ring out the want, the care, the sin,<br />
The faithless coldness of the times;<br />
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes<br />
But ring the fuller minstrel in.</p>
<p>Ring out false pride in place and blood,<br />
The civic slander and the spite;<br />
Ring in the love of truth and right,<br />
Ring in the common love of good.</p>
<p>Ring out old shapes of foul disease;<br />
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;<br />
Ring out the thousand wars of old,<br />
Ring in the thousand years of peace.</p>
<p>Ring in the valiant man and free,<br />
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;<br />
Ring out the darkness of the land,<br />
Ring in the Christ that is to be.</p>

<p>
[Matteo 2, ]<br />
[1] Gesù nacque a Betlemme di Giudea, al tempo del re Erode. Alcuni Magi giunsero da oriente a Gerusalemme e domandavano:</p>
<p>[2] &#8220;Dov&#8217;è il re dei Giudei che è nato? Abbiamo visto sorgere la sua stella, e siamo venuti per adorarlo&#8221;.</p>
<p>[3] All&#8217;udire queste parole, il re Erode restò turbato e con lui tutta Gerusalemme.</p>
<p>[4] Riuniti tutti i sommi sacerdoti e gli scribi del popolo, s&#8217;informava da loro sul luogo in cui doveva nascere il Messia.</p>
<p>[5] Gli risposero: &#8220;A Betlemme di Giudea, perché così è scritto per mezzo del profeta:<br />
“E tu, Betlemme, terra di Giuda,<br />
non sei già la più piccola<br />
tra le eminenze di Giuda:<br />
da te uscirà un principe<br />
che pascerà il mio popolo, Israele”.<br />
[dal Vangelo secondo Matteo]</p>
<p>Dal Vangelo secondo Luca [2]:<br />
&#8220;[1] In quei giorni un decreto di Cesare Augusto ordinò che si facesse il censimento di tutta la terra.</p>
<p>[2] Questo primo censimento fu fatto quando era governatore della Siria Quirinio.</p>
<p>[3] Andavano tutti a farsi registrare, ciascuno nella sua città.</p>
<p>[4] Anche Giuseppe, che era della casa e della famiglia di Davide, dalla città di Nazaret e dalla Galilea salì in Giudea alla città di Davide, chiamata Betlemme,</p>
<p>[5] per farsi registrare insieme con Maria sua sposa, che era incinta.</p>
<p>[6] Ora, mentre si trovavano in quel luogo, si compirono per lei i giorni del parto.</p>
<p>[7] Diede alla luce il suo figlio primogenito, lo avvolse in fasce e lo depose in una mangiatoia, perché non c&#8217;era posto per loro nell&#8217;albergo.</p>
<p>[8] C&#8217;erano in quella regione alcuni pastori che vegliavano di notte facendo la guardia al loro gregge.</p>
<p>[9] Un angelo del Signore si presentò davanti a loro e la gloria del Signore li avvolse di luce. Essi furono presi da grande spavento,</p>
<p>[10] ma l&#8217;angelo disse loro: &#8220;Non temete, ecco vi annunzio una grande gioia, che sarà di tutto il popolo:</p>
<p>[11] oggi vi è nato nella città di Davide un salvatore, che è il Cristo Signore.</p>
<p>[12] Questo per voi il segno: troverete un bambino avvolto in fasce, che giace in una mangiatoia&#8221;.</p>
<p>[13] E subito apparve con l&#8217;angelo una moltitudine dell&#8217;esercito celeste che lodava Dio e diceva:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;" align="center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-992" title="Pentax Digital Camera" src="http://ilmondoedio.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/prayer-the-wailing-wall.jpg?w=529&#038;h=348" alt="" width="529" height="348" />It is unclear why truth is always attacked as lies and lies praised as truth! We live in a world of denial: of values, of religion (our own, i.e. Christianity,  Judaism, and anything sane), of misdeeds, of final solutions, of history and factual evidence. One must have warped sense of fantasy to call Mr. <a class="zem_slink" title="Newt Gingrich" href="http://www.biography.com/people/newt-gingrich-9311969" rel="biographycom">Gingrich</a> statement racist, and for anyone sane to believe it was. Kudos to Mr. Ostroff&#8217;s, who, in his Letter, bares the untruths, willful misquotes, deliberate twisting and misunderstanding, and all inconsistencies of the oped.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;" align="center">Praise of propaganda that supports fabrications about the true state of the world, the hatred and injustice towards few without sober foundations or factual reasons &#8211; today&#8217;s or yesterday&#8217;s &#8211; reveals and confirms a millenarian sad and unsettling state of affairs. I thank God that from time to time some competent voices and clear, detached, cogent analyses of what happens and did happen in the remote and not so remote past, raise themselves above the opinionated fabrication, misinterpretations and lies, to bring some of us back to reality and decency in order to understand how deep in deceit and skullduggery we have sunk, in spite of advancements and progress done by the West in all aspects of civilized life.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;" align="center">How self-appointed experts all over, in the West and in the East, let their open hatred loose and end up hanging themselves with the rope of fabricated lies (if the reader is <em>literate</em> and is able to read and write properly, of course). One should read the article on the <a class="zem_slink" title="NYSE: NYT" href="http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:NYT" rel="googlefinance">NYT</a>, which I am not attaching or linking here, Mr. Ostroff mentions to understand the letter fully, though the quotations in the letter are explicit and self-explaining -  the NYT published a rather sad piece!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Countering Bias and Misinformation mainly about the <a class="zem_slink" title="Arab–Israeli conflict" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_conflict" rel="wikipedia">Arab-Israel conflict</a> &#8211; AN <a class="zem_slink" title="Open letter" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_letter" rel="wikipedia">OPEN LETTER</a> TO NY TIMES COLUMNIST, TOM FRIEDMAN  -From Maurice Ostrof</strong><strong>f</strong></p>
<p>December 21, 2011</p>
<p>Dear Mr. Friedman,</p>
<p>Your oped “Newt, Mitt, Bibi and Vladimir” in the NY Times of Dec. 13, brings to mind your oped of Nov. 16, 2010 in which you very wisely opined &#8220;<em>When widely followed public figures feel free to say anything, without any fact-checking, <strong>we have a problem</strong>.. Facts, opinions and fabrications just blend together&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Gingrich and Palestinian nationhood</strong></p>
<p>It is ironic, that your latest oped epitomizes the objectionable situation you described in 2010 of facts and fabrications blending together. You start by misquoting Mr. Gingrich, claiming he said the Palestinians are not entitled to a state. In fact he neither said nor suggested that. This is what he said in his interview with the Jewish Channel to which you referred. “<em>Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Ottoman Empire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" rel="wikipedia">Ottoman Empire</a>. We have invented the <a class="zem_slink" title="Palestinian people" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_people" rel="wikipedia">Palestinian people</a>, who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Arab people" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_people" rel="wikipedia">Arab people</a>.</em>.”</p>
<p>Moreover, had you checked your facts you would have known that contrary to your claim, Mr. Gingrich actually supports a <a class="zem_slink" title="State of Palestine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Palestine" rel="wikipedia">Palestinian state</a> in a peace agreement between <a class="zem_slink" title="Israel" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20%28Israel%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Israel</a> and the Palestinians as he publicly repeated in a recent veterans’ forum.</p>
<p>Of course there is nothing inconsistent in advocating a state for the Palestinians even though believing them to be, not a separate nation, but part of the great Arab nation sharing a common linguistic, cultural, religious, and historical heritage.</p>
<p>Your statement that Gingrich advocates that Israel is entitled to permanently occupy the West Bank, pursue a road to apartheid, evict the West Bank Palestinians and engage in ethnic cleansing is pure speculation. There is nothing at all in what Gingrich said that remotely resembles these completely illogical and misleading conclusions.</p>
<p>Mr. Gingrich’s views on Palestinian nationhood are supported by the historical fact that when the status of the Ottoman Empire’s former possessions was determined at the <a class="zem_slink" title="San Remo conference" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Remo_conference" rel="wikipedia">San Remo conference</a> in 1920, Syria and Lebanon were mandated to France while Mesopotamia (Iraq) and the southern portion of the territory (Palestine) were mandated to Britain. Jews, Christians and Arabs who lived in the British mandated territory were regarded as Palestinians, not by virtue of nationhood, but by virtue of living in what was then designated as Palestine.<br />
See <a href="http://www.2nd-thoughts.org/id350.html">http://www.2nd-thoughts.org/id350.html</a><br />
Furthermore, Mr. Gingrich’s views are supported by the authoritative opinion of many Arab personalities who are intimately involved in, and knowledgeable about, Arab affairs. For example, the high profile critic of the Israel government, Arab former member of Knesset Dr. Azmi Bishara expressed views almost identical to those of Mr. Gingrich. During an interview on Israel&#8217;s Channel 2 TV he declared <em>“There is no Palestinian nation. It&#8217;s a colonial invention&#8230; </em>&#8221; . In his current position as director of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha and having authored several books in English, German and Arabic he very likely knows more about Palestinian nationhood than you do. He speaks and reads Arabic.<br />
See <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3n5-yG-6dU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3n5-yG-6dU</a> .</p>
<p>The serious lack of knowledge of Middle East affairs demonstrated in your oped should concern all who are influenced by renowned journalists, whose prestige leads readers to accept their uninformed opinions as facts.</p>
<p><strong>Bibi and the Jewish lobby</strong></p>
<p>Your statement that PM Netanyahu’s standing ovation in Congress was bought and paid for by an Israel lobby is an example of what you described in your 2010 oped as <em>“Facts, opinions and fabrications blending together”</em>. That Netanyahu received a standing ovation is a fact. That the ovation was bought by a sinister Israel lobby of the type propagated by Professors Mearsheimer and Walt is your opinion blended with the inconvenient but undeniable fact.</p>
<p>Since the applause was unanimous, your statement that the members of congress who applauded “<em>were bought and paid</em>” is a terrible slur on the entire <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Congress" href="http://www.house.gov/" rel="homepage">US Congress</a>. Have you considered the probability that the applause was a genuine demonstration of approval by intelligent and worthy congressmen and women who think for themselves?</p>
<p>It is a matter of deep concern that a man of your undoubted influence can exhibit a degree of prejudice that ignores the counter influences of opponents of the Netanyahu government like <a class="zem_slink" title="J Street" href="http://www.jstreet.org/" rel="homepage">JStreet</a> with its support by billionaire George Soros and the new Israel fund as well as the high probability that any influence that may be exerted by a <a class="zem_slink" title="Israel lobby in the United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States" rel="wikipedia">pro-Israel lobby</a> is far outweighed by the massive petrodollar-funded Arab lobby.</p>
<p>We need look no further than a March 1, 2011 NY Times article “Arab Unrest Puts Their Lobbyists in Uneasy Spot” that refers to “<em>one of the most formidable lobbying forces in town: the elite band of former members of Congress, former diplomats and power brokers who have helped <a class="zem_slink" title="Middle East" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East" rel="wikipedia">Middle Eastern</a> nations navigate diplomatic waters here on delicate issues like arms deals, terrorism, oil and trade restrictions</em>”</p>
<p>Although one lobbyist admitted “<em>you have to have a strong stomach to work with dictators in Middle Eastern nations with policies that many American find unsavoury</em>”, Washington’s top lobbyists received tens of millions of dollars from Libya, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt and other countries in the region. According to federal filings, Middle East rulers pay retainers of $50,000 or more each month to consultants.</p>
<p>The UAE spent $5.3 million in 2009 for lobbying American officials. Morocco spent more than $3 million, Saudi Arabia about $1.5 million and Turkey nearly $1.7 million.</p>
<p>I do not for one moment deny your freedom to express your opinions. I urge you however, to please make it easier for your readers to distinguish between your opinions and the facts. In the above examples, the line between them is very blurred and your clarification will be appreciated.</p>
<p>This letter is being widely circulated as will the response I hope to receive from you</p>
<p>Sincerely<br />
Maurice Ostroff&#8221;</p>
