De ahí la insistencia de los americanos. Y de ahí, la voluntad rajoina de complacerles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La recepción que el gobierno useño ha dado al gobierno del PP me hace pensar que los de Rajoy tienen más ideas en la cartera para intentar acercarse a la aún gran potencia. Al menos espero que así sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El ZP y los suyos han asolado muchas cosas, algunas realmente importantísimas (empezando por la principalísima unión de los españoles), pero no me cabe la menor duda de que el mayor daño infligido ha sido a la relación de España con EEUU: y no solo por lo de Iraq sino, sobre todo, por lo de la bandera... y por la constatación de que lo pactado con un gobierno puede ser graciosa e innecesariamente obviado por el capricho del siguiente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realmente no creo que la relación pueda devolverse al punto al que, por primera vez en la historia, la había llevado Aznar. Eso no se logrará, si alguna vez se logra, ni siquiera en muchas generaciones, pero sí espero que vuelva a mejorar sustancialmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El cambio estratégico en la relación España-EEUU que brillantemente ingenió Aznar obligó a nuestros &lt;a href="http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2011/12/otra-vez-francia-y-el-11-m.html" target="_blank"&gt;amigos franceses a diseñar el 11-M&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Lo que hizo ZP permitió al rey de Marruecos atreverse a colaborar, muy gustosamente, en el plan de los gabachos, sus habituales protecto-colaboradores.

De hecho al antiguo apartado 6º, citado, lo renumera como 7º, e introduce un nuevo apartado (para privilegiar el "dinero fresco") al que numera como 6º. Es decir, modifica el 6º&amp;nbsp;antiguo, al que además ahora&amp;nbsp;llama 7º, y mete un 6º&amp;nbsp;nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero la misma Ley 38/2011 establece que, en general, la reforma no entrará en vigor hasta el 1 de enero de 2012... salvo unos poquitos apartados que entraron en vigor inmediatamente, el 12 de octubre de 2011, día siguiente a su publicación: entre estos,&amp;nbsp;el apartado 6º&amp;nbsp;nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consecuencia, en la ley en vigor desde el 12 de octubre, y hasta el 31 de diciembre, de 2011 ha desaparecido el antiguo apartado 6º del artículo 91 ("cuarta parte") y aún no ha aparecido el nuevo apartado 7º ("la mitad")... así que nos quedamos con "nada".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mal asunto para los acreedores que insten el concurso entre dichas fechas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo más grande es que no he leído nada que destaque este hecho... del que yo tampoco me había percatado.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-2846933864927328986?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/2846933864927328986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=2846933864927328986&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/2846933864927328986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/2846933864927328986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2011/12/ley-concursal-hasta-en-esto-eran-malos.html' title='Ley concursal: hasta en esto eran malos los de ZP'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-5632606198277633383</id><published>2011-12-16T22:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-16T23:07:12.538+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SUP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marruecos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Francia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='11-M'/><title type='text'>Otra vez: Francia y el 11-M</title><content type='html'>Basta entrar &lt;a href="http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/search/label/11-M" target="_blank"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt; para ver que desde hace años sostengo la participación principal de Francia y su acólito Marruecos en los atentados del 11-M.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.esradio.fm/es-la-noche-de-cesar/2011-12-13/el-sup-pide-ahora-seguir-investigando-el-11-m-caiga-quien-caiga-1276444175/" target="_blank"&gt;Hace un par de días los del SUP&lt;/a&gt; (Sindicato Unificado de Policía) se acercan, aunque invierten el orden de los factores (que en esto caso tienen importancia) y no se atreven a sacar todas las consecuencias de lo que dicen, limitándose a manifestar que la participación de esos dos estados fue no informar sobre lo que iba a ocurrir, sabiéndolo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;El portavoz del SUP también ha hablado de la "hipótesis sin pruebas" que mantienen desde el sindicato. Apuntan que el origen de lo ocurrido podría estar en el conflicto de Perejil. Su consecuencia, ha continuado, podría haber sido "una venganza de los servicios secretos marroquíes", que conocían lo que iba a pasar "y no dijeron nada". Ha apuntado también a los servicios secretos franceses, que "tampoco estaban muy contentos con la política de Aznar". "Me parece que ahí hay algún conglomerado que debe investigarse, hay que investigar en esta línea", ha dicho. Para Benito, "hay que tomarse esto en serio, porque estamos hablando de muchas vidas humanas" y de "culpables fuera de la cárcel", "no hay que parar".&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yo creo que su participación fue mucho más principal, como ya he repetido hasta la saciedad, por más que no tengo prueba alguna o que el SUP no pueda decirlo en público. Pero algo es algo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo lógico, al menos lo que a mí me parece lógico, es que la autora del atentado fuera Francia con la ayuda instrumental e interesada de Marruecos. &amp;nbsp;Así me lo pareció desde los primeros días y así lo sigo pensando. &lt;a href="http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2006/01/alianzas-y-visiones.html" target="_blank"&gt;Al final de este post&lt;/a&gt;, de primeros de 2006, ya lo apunté y &lt;a href="http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2006/03/oh-la-la.html" target="_blank"&gt;en este sigo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;poco después,&amp;nbsp;y luego en &lt;a href="http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/search/label/11-M" target="_blank"&gt;mucho más&lt;/a&gt;... e incluso lo escribí antes, aunque ahora no lo encuentro.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-5632606198277633383?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/5632606198277633383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=5632606198277633383&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/5632606198277633383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/5632606198277633383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2011/12/otra-vez-francia-y-el-11-m.html' title='Otra vez: Francia y el 11-M'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-5558717570242553101</id><published>2011-10-27T10:59:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-27T11:08:55.524+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Madrid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='escarnio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IBI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='impuestos'/><title type='text'>Escarnio: IBI de Madrid</title><content type='html'>Llevo casi 30 años ejerciendo como abogado en Madrid... y no he entendido nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acabamos de recibir notificación sobre las valoraciones de nuestra casa tenidas en cuenta para determinar el importe del IBI de este año.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la notificación nos avisan de que si no estamos de acuerdo con el cálculo podemos recurrir ante un tribunal administrativo de nombre rimbombante (en realidad, y a pesar de los avances informáticos, tampoco se toman la molestia de especificar el tribunal que te correspondería en concreto, y te ofrecen una alternativa que tú mismo tienes que elucidar).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por experiencia sé que el tribunal de referencia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;se toma años para resolver;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;casi siempre resuelve a favor de la administración, de la que depende;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sus resoluciones son arcanos, llenos de frases hechas y remisiones a normativas no aptas para las entendederas de casi nadie, ni las de quienes las redactaron;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;lo que deciden puede no ser final, y cuando ellos terminan puede empezar el calvario judicial, en jurisdicción especializada y con normas tan peculiarmente desequilibradas a favor de la administración como uno se puede imaginar -por supuesto, este nuevo juzgador también se toma su tiempo y sus resoluciones pueden ser recurribles; y&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;aun si uno se atreve con todo eso y acaba ganando (¡uf, qué tío/tía!), cobrar de la administración lo debido puede llevarte otros años y más papeleo, aún más en los tiempos que corren;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;¡ah! se me olvidó decir que desde el principio la administración había ejecutado su acto y ya te había cobrado, y, por tanto, cuando digo cobrar me refiero a recuperar solo aquello que ya te habían quitado, sin incluir los gastos que esos papeleos y pleitos te han provocado, pues que la condena en costas a la administración es ultra rara avis (la indemnización por el cabreo y mal rato provocado ni entra en los cálculos más optimistas).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Aún así, digamos que eres de esos peleones que, harto de que los abusones de turno (sí, las administraciones públicas y las empresas de servicios básicos, como telefonía, energía y por ahí, muy principalmente) te confundan con recibos incomprensibles y tramposos y, con cada uno y casi siempre, 'se confundan', siempre a su favor, qué casualidad, y aprovechen para quitarte unos euros indebidamente, quedándose tan anchos, digo, aún si eres una peleona de esas harta de abusos, tu primer himalaya será estudiar ese recibo por el que este año te van a cobrar casi el doble que hace un par de años, o ni se sabe cuánto más que hace no tanto, y eso a cambio de menos cosas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y ahí es donde quería llegar: ¿de verdad alguien, con un mínimo de decencia, puede sostener que una persona ordinaria, incluso jurista, puede entender el contenido de la notificación sobre las valoraciones relativas al IBI que nos hace el Ayuntamiento de Madrid? ¿alguien puede sostener que la susodicha notificación contiene la información completa y necesaria para que se pueda calcular si la valoración hecha es correcta en tu caso concreto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En nuestro caso, la notificación incluso nos cuenta la valoración del garaje... cuando en casa no hay garaje. También nos valoran unos 'Otros', que no sabemos a qué se refieren, en concreto.&amp;nbsp;Y nos parece que valoran lo mismo un metro de garaje que uno de vivienda u uno de esos Otros, sea por valor del suelo o de construcción.&amp;nbsp;Y nos hablan de 126 metros, cuando apenas tenemos noventa y pocos, y eso que los años nos han hecho saber que hay diferencia entre metros útiles y construidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde luego la notificación contiene mil siglas, que no se corresponden del todo con las que aparecen en la hoja de 'explicaciones'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El asunto es un escarnio. Yo preferiría un pistolero que viniera a pedirme esa cantidad sin pretender justificarse tanto, al menos me quedaría la esperanza de luchar por cambiar la ley y hacer que las cosas fueran de otra manera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero no. Como además de ladrones tienen que sentirse bien, nos empachan con leyes abarrotadas de principios y derechos grandilocuentes, que para algo están los reglamentos y, si no bastan, la burla ejecutiva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Vaya banda!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Excusa no pedida&lt;/i&gt;: no digo yo que no hayamos de pagar por los servicios municipales que recibimos, incluso por los que no recibimos pero reciben otros en peores circunstancias que nosotros; tampoco digo que lo que pago sea mucho ni poco, ni más o menos de lo debido. Lo que digo es que no hay derecho a que se mofen de nosotros, y menos amparándose en la ley. También digo que no hay peor crimen que el robo de la esperanza.

Por mas que se repita, cualquiera sabe que es mas falso que un duro de plomo. No es cierto ni materialmente, que todos sabemos lo rápido que los libros colonizan la casa y amenazan echarnos para quedarse con todo el espacio. Tampoco lo es en el mundo digital: ¿acaso no sabéis que los grandes centros de datos, las casas que hoy guardan el saber, son de los principales consumidores de energía? Y mucho menos lo es intelectualmente, como todos compobamos día a día al constatar nuestra pantagruélica ignorancia y el esfuerzo mayúsculo que exige aminorarla en una minúscula porción.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El otro aforismo falso de toda falsedad es moderno, aunque ya tiene un tiempo, y es ese que pretende convencernos de que el mundo es cada vez mas pequeño. Lo empezaron diciendo por eso de que los medios de transporte permitían viajar mas rápido. Siguió por aquello de que el mayor conocimiento de lenguas facilitaba el contacto entre gentes hasta entonces ignotas unas de otras. En su versión mas actual se centra en el prodigio de internet y, aun mas recientemente, en el auge de las nuevas redes sociales, que tanto nos acercan unos a otros (¡ay, candidez bendita!... ¿o es maldita?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es verdad que, como se oía en mi juventud, el mundo corre que es una barbaridad. Pero mas cierto aun es que el ser humano tiene grandísimas limitaciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habiendo tenido la oportunidad de viajar desde pequeño y siendo un adicto enfermizo a internet, me da la sensación de que (1) los viajes rápidos, que son la absoluta mayoría, apenas nos acercan a los demás ni a lo desconocido, y cada vez menos con la uniformización rampante hasta de los lugares mas exóticos, que cualquiera que haya viajado un poco puede certificar, y (2) la comunicación digital apenas ha incrementado nuestra capacidad de atención, relación y, mas aun, de aprendizaje (recordemos la primera falsedad y cómo el saber exige un tremendo (homenaje a los cubanos) esfuerzo, para el que no estamos preparados, hoy menos que nunca).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-494102588114583807?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/494102588114583807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=494102588114583807&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/494102588114583807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/494102588114583807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2011/04/dos-dichos-tan-repetidos-como.html' title='Dos dichos tan repetidos como desacertados'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-8127785412224960039</id><published>2011-03-28T00:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-28T00:21:15.169+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abusos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gas'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Video muy divertido... sobre el cachondeo que se traen a costa de los simples mortales, en este caso personificados en los sufridos paganos de la gasolina (cortesía de los de &lt;a href="http://www.nozzlerage.com/Nozzle_Rage_Video_2.html"&gt;NoozleRage&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?width=630&amp;amp;height=354&amp;amp;embedCode=M3M3IyOi8jlwPn3a7kUbDBL9iysUwEcy&amp;amp;deepLinkEmbedCode=M3M3IyOi8jlwPn3a7kUbDBL9iysUwEcy"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-8127785412224960039?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/8127785412224960039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=8127785412224960039&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/8127785412224960039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/8127785412224960039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2011/03/video-muy-divertido.html' title=''/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-1790914539054121934</id><published>2011-02-08T18:17:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-08T18:19:57.125+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel Matzav'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nasrrallah'/><title type='text'>Yalla Ya Nasrallah</title><content type='html'>Nasrallah se alegra de la caída de Mubarak porque "Israel pierde a su único amigo en la región y queda aislado."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-now-for-your-entertainment-pleasure.html"&gt;Israel Matzav le responde&lt;/a&gt;

Estos grupúsculos... "salafistas"... son de tendencia Al Qaeda. Según Abu al Bara al Masri, que se presenta como uno de sus jefes, estos grupos "yihadistas salafistas" son actualmente cinco en el territorio (Jund Ansar Ala, Jaich al-Islam, Tawhid wa Jihad, Jaich al Umma y Ansar al Sunna) y cuentan con varios centenares de miembros.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Abu Hamza al Maqdisi, un dirigente de Ansar al Sunna...: "No tenemos intenciones de declarar apóstata al Hamas (...) pero pensamos que la aplicación de la sharia es necesaria", insiste, reclamando por ejemplo la obligación del velo integral para las mujeres, la prohibición del tabaco y la edificación de un emirato islámico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;(...) La tensión alcanzó su paroxismo en agosto de 2009, cuando el Jund Ansar Alá proclamo un "emirato" islámico en una mezquita de Rafah (sur). Las fuerzas armadas de Hamás invadieron entonces la mezquita y reprimieron sangrientamente a los fundamentalistas dejando 24 muertos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Desde entonces, hemos sido procesados, detenidos; nuestras familias han sido amenazadas para convencernos de que nos rindamos", denuncia Abu al Masri. "Ellos detienen a los muyahidín (combatientes islámicos) y los torturan. No torturan tanto a los colaboradores de Israel como a los combatientes que disparan cohetes" contra el Estado israelí, acusa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un portavoz de Hamas, Taher al Nunu... : "nosotros respetamos a todos aquellos que trabajan conforme a la ley y los acuerdos palestinos".&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Apoyamos a nuestros hermanos de la organización dirigida por el jeque Osama bin Laden", se contenta con responder Abu al Masri. Abu al Maqdisi reconoce algunos contactos informales: "ha habido contactos entre individuos de algunas organizaciones, pero eso no quiere decir que nuestras actitudes sean las mismas, o que coordinemos nuestra acción militar o nuestro financiamiento".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-3846117233947016693?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/3846117233947016693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=3846117233947016693&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/3846117233947016693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/3846117233947016693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/12/blanqueo-de-jamas.html' title='Blanqueo de Jamás'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/SWzUz1qB7MI/AAAAAAAABeY/uHPT3lYibHM/s72-c/sulogohamasbrazoarmado.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-5482602806059454751</id><published>2010-12-21T18:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-21T18:16:53.060+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='París'/><title type='text'>Islam en París...</title><content type='html'>... por si quedan despistados.

All the others are bad for us and the region,..."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Una vez más se aprecia la complejidad diplomática del Oriente Medio... y como todos buscan siempre su objetivo. Además, resulta claro que, según los sirios, los americanos verían con buenos ojos una solución "involving both countries’ nuclear programs."

font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;1. (S/NF) The successive visits of three high-level Iranian officials to Damascus in early December appear at first glance to reaffirm strong Iranian-Syrian security ties and other forms of bilateral cooperation, but they may, in fact, mask deepening rifts over Iraq, Yemen, and the possibility of war with Israel. Syrian observers suggest the a shifting balance of power between Iran and Syria. The Iranian government, challenged domestically by anti-regime protests and abroad by building pressure over its nuclear program, has sought Syria’s help just when Syria has begun to enjoy other strategic options, such as its relations with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Asad’s government proved willing to host the visits, sign a defense MOU, and allow Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Meshaal to visit Tehran, all the while continuing close cooperation with Iranian security services and Hizballah operatives. But Asad reportedly resisted Iranian arguments for closer bilateral coordination in Iraq and Yemen &lt;b style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;and flatly rejected being drawn into a war between Iran and Israel&lt;/b&gt;. End Summary.&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;Reaffirmation of Staunch Syrian-Iran Ties&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par2" id="par2" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;2. (C) On the surface, the early-December visits of three Iranian officials -- National Security Advisor Saeed Jalili on December 3, Vice President and head of the Environmental Department Mahammed-Javad Mahamadzideh on December 5-6, and Minister of Defense Ahmad Ali Vahidi on December 8-11 -- represented a concerted reaffirmation by both countries of their strong security ties and their commitment to expanded relations. Set against a backdrop of rising international pressure on Iran over its nuclear program and an exchange of threats between Israel and Iran, the visits signaled continuing cooperation in confronting Israeli policies. Asad publicly praised Iran’s support for resistance against Israeli occupation after his December 3 meeting with Jalili. According to the Syrian press, Jalili also met with Palestinian leaders based in Syria, including Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Meshaal, whom he invited to visit Tehran the following week. Though less focused on security issues, the visit of VP Mahammadzideh affirmed both countries’ commitment to expanding economic cooperation and working together on responding to climate change. On December 11, Vahidi and his Syrian counterpart, Ali Habib, expressed a desire for a deepening of defense and military ties, formalized in a memorandum of understanding calling for “efforts aimed at the establishment of a comprehensive regional security pact,” and establishing recurrent meetings of the Joint Defense Cooperation Committee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par3" id="par3" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;3. (S/NF) The public showcasing of these three visits contrasted with the secrecy with which Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander/al-Quds Force Ghassem Soleimani conducted his. Reportedly accompanying Jalili, Soleimani returned to Damascus after a long absence, perhaps a reflection of lingering tensions between Iran and Syria that erupted after the February 2008 assassination of Hizballah military strategist Imad Mugniyah in the Syrian capital.  XXXXXXXXXXXX spoke very reluctantly about Soleimani’s presence in Damascus, saying only that “he was here,” and “when he visits, it’s usually significant.” XXXXXXXXXXXX reported seeing Jalili and Soleimani at a XXXXXXXXXXXX meeting with Syrian officials that included FM Muallim, as well as unspecified members of Hizballah. “Soleimani represents the business end of the resistance,” commented XXXXXXXXXXXX, also reluctant to discuss the sensitive issue of Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah military cooperation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par4" id="par4" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;4. (S/NF) Taken collectively, the Iranian visits over eight days were meant to dispel doubts that Syria would or could abandon its ties to Iran, according to XXXXXXXXXXXX The visits allowed the Syrian government to project an image of strength at a time when Israel was rejecting Syria’s demand for a commitment to withdraw to the June 4 lines and a return to Turkish-facilitated proximity talks prior to moving to direct peace negotiations. In a joint press conference with Jalili, FM Muallim supported Iran’s right to enrich uranium and to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Moreover, the Iranian visits coincided with the introduction of a law in the Knesset to require a national referendum on any peace treaty. “Iran provides us diplomatic cover as well as the military might to back up our demands for peace,” argued XXXXXXXXXXXX. “In return, we’re providing Iran support when the West is pressuring Iran on its nuclear program,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;But Did Iran Wear Out Its Welcome?&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par5" id="par5" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;5. (S/NF) Whatever Syrian rationale there may be for showcasing military ties to Iran, many Syrian observers are emphasizing the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;shifting balance of power in their bilateral relationship. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;According&lt;/span&gt; to XXXXXXXXXXXX &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Iran, not Syria, sought the visits as a sign of Syrian reassurance&lt;/span&gt;. “Be assured,” commented XXXXXXXXXXXX &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;“they needed these visits far more than we did.”&lt;/span&gt; Summing up a view heard repeatedly around Damascus, “things in our relations with Iran are starting to return to normal” after a long period of Syrian dependence, XXXXXXXXXXXX asserted. He added, “U.S. isolation and the invasion of Iraq made it necessary to adopt such extreme measures. But now, things are moving back to equilibrium.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par6" id="par6" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;6. (S/NF) By the time of Vahidi’s visit, some Syrian officials were quietly grousing that the Iranians were “too needy.” The Syrian government wanted to extend support to a loyal Iranian ally, according to XXXXXXXXXXXX, but the dramatic display of multiple Iranian visits in a short period of time “was Iran’s doing.” The Syrian government, said XXXXXXXXXXXX, perceived a note of panic in the Iranian requests and some were saying &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Syria’s renewed relations with Saudi Arabia, its deepening ties to Turkey&lt;/span&gt;, and even Washington’s desire to re-engage Syria had made Iran “jealous.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par7" id="par7" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;7. (S/NF) While the Syrian government responded positively to Iranian requests for public statements of support on the nuclear issue and against Israel, it remained silent after the Iranian Minister of Defense’s arrival statement denounced Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United States. By the time Vahidi arrived on December 8, press contacts noted, the Syrian government’s attitude had shifted to “let’s get this over with,” according to XXXXXXXXXXXX. Indeed, at the same time Vahidi was parading his 20-car motorcade around Damascus, several other visits were occurring, including one by the Turkish military commandant and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;President Sarkozy’s Middle East advisors, Nicolas Gallet and Jean-David Levitte&lt;/span&gt;. Most of Presidential Media Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban’s December 10 press conference was dedicated not to Syrian-Iranian relations, but to Syria’s ties to other countries, according to press contactsXXXXXXXXXXXX.&lt;br /&gt;DAMASCUS 00000880 003.2 OF 004&lt;br /&gt;---------------- &lt;br /&gt;Signs of Discord&lt;br /&gt;---------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par8" id="par8" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;8. (S/NF) Going beyond atmospherics XXXXXXXXXXXX reported several disagreements between Jalili’s delegation and their Syrian counterparts. On Iraq, Jalili reportedly proposed a “joining of Syrian and Iranian efforts” to influence the upcoming Iraqi elections. “They (the Iranians) basically asked us to focus on co-opting Shia politicians and to drop our support for the Sunnis and former Baathists,” arguing that the center of gravity in Iraq lies with the Shia. On this issue XXXXXXXXXXXX reported, &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Syrian officials expressed great reluctance and continued to insist on the reintegration of former Iraqi Baathists into the political system&lt;/span&gt;. Some Syrian officials XXXXXXXXXXXX agreed that Syria needed to extend the range of its political connections in the Iraqi Shia community, said XXXXXXXXXXXX. But Iran’s vision for &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #93c47d;"&gt;Iraq &lt;/span&gt;was &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #93c47d;"&gt;“a Shia-dominated state made of up of mini-states,” &lt;/span&gt;an outcome the Syrian government opposed, he said. The SARG continues to desire a stronger centralized power base in Baghdad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par9" id="par9" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;9. (S/NF) On Yemen, Vahidi’s public remarks rebuking Saudi Arabia for interfering in its neighbor’s affairs drew sharp criticism from Syrian officials during the Iranian Defense Minister’s meetings XXXXXXXXXXXX Vahidi was clearly trying to drive a wedge between Damascus and Riyadh, but “it didn’t work,” he said. Asad stopped short of publicly contradicting the Iranian official during his visit, but he reassured Saudi King Abdullah’s son Abdul Azziz, in Syria to pay personal condolences after the death of President Asad’s brother Majd, that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #93c47d;"&gt;Syria fully supported Saudi Arabia’s efforts to defeat the Huthi separatists&lt;/span&gt;. “There weren’t any newspaper reports of Iranian ministers here (paying condolences),” noted XXXXXXXXXXXX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par10" id="par10" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;10. (S/NF) &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;More significantly, Syria reportedly resisted Iranian entreaties to commit to joining Iran if fighting broke out between Iran and Israel or Hizballah and Israel.&lt;/span&gt; XXXXXXXXXXXX said Iranian officials were in Syria “to round up allies” in anticipation of an Israeli military strike. “It (an Israeli strike on Iran) is not a matter of if, but when,” XXXXXXXXXXXX said, reporting what Syrian officials had heard from their Iranian counterparts. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;The Syrian response, he continued, was to tell the Iranians not to look to Syria, Hizballah or Hamas to “fight this battle.” “We told them Iran is strong enough on its own to develop a nuclear program and to fight Israel,” he said, adding, “we’re too weak.”&lt;/span&gt; The Iranians know Syria has condemned Israeli threats and would denounce Israeli military operations against Iran. “But &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;they were displeased with Asad’s response.&lt;/span&gt; They needed to hear the truth,” XXXXXXXXXXXX said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par11" id="par11" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;11. (S/NF) Asked what advice Syria was giving Iran, XXXXXXXXXXXX replied that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Syria, along with Turkey and Qatar, was preparing for an Israeli-Iranian military exchange in the near future.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;“Military officials tell me they have noticed Israeli drones snooping around our sites,” he explained, noting some Syrian officials saw Israeli reconnaissance as an indication that Israel might seek to disable anti-air radar stations as part of a plan to fly bombers over Syrian territory en route to Iran. “We expect to wake up one morning soon and learn the Israeli strike took place. Then we expect an Iranian response.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;At that point, we, Turkey, and Qatar will spring into action to begin moderating a ceasefire and then a longer-term solution &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #93c47d;"&gt;involving both countries’ nuclear programs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;That’s the best scenario. All the others are bad for us and the region,&lt;/span&gt;” summed up XXXXXXXXXXXX. “We would hope the U.S. would recognize our diplomatic efforts to resolve a regional crisis and give us some credit for playing a positive role.”&lt;br /&gt;------------------ &lt;br /&gt;Comment: So What?&lt;br /&gt;------------------ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par12" id="par12" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;12. (S/NF) Many Syrian and some diplomatic observers believe Syria is in the process of re-calibrating its relations with Iran and is seeking to avoid choices that would constrain the country’s flexibility as it faces an uncertain regional setting. Does, however, Syria’s instinct for self-survival and desire for less dependence on Iran represent anything other than a shift of emphasis as long as Damascus insists on maintaining its military relations with Iran, Hizballah, and Hamas? Some analysts here argue that Syria’s improved relations with Turkey, France, and Saudi Arabia afford Damascus a greater range of choices in dealing with the West, the Arab world, Israel, and Iran. This school asserts that better ties with the U.S. would further increase Syria’s range of options and its potential to move farther away from Iran. Even if Damascus and Tehran maintained some semblance of their political-military relationship, the extent of their ties would be constrained by Syria’s competing equities in deepening relations with others, including the U.S. Others argue that a wider range of options would only perpetuate Syria’s decision-averse orientation; if the Iranians can’t pin down Syria on matters of war and peace, then what chance would the United States have? Syria could pocket openings offered by Washington and simply use our gestures to play rivals off one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://213.251.145.96/cable/2009/12/09DAMASCUS880.html#par13" id="par13" style="color: #517781; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"&gt;¶&lt;/a&gt;13. (S/NF) At the end of the day, it may be impossible to assess Syria’s intentions with any confidence until the regional context becomes clearer. In the meantime, the U.S. should take a modicum of quiet satisfaction that Syria is showing signs of wanting to moderate Iran’s influence in its affairs, even though expecting the relationship to end altogether remains unrealistic. If Syria’s improved relations with France, Saudi Arabia and Turkey can initiate cracks in the Syrian-Iranian axis, then perhaps discrete U.S.-Syrian cooperation could add further stress to these fault lines. A willingness to offer concrete deliverables as evidence of a U.S. desire for improved relations would force Syrian officials to calculate how far they would go in response, providing us with a more accurate measure of their intentions. At a minimum, increased Washington interest in Syria would increase Tehran’s anxiety level and perhaps compound Syrian-Iranian tensions, at a time when Syrian officials themselves may be unsure how they will react to unfolding events.&lt;br /&gt;HUNTER&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-9089640842201543651?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/9089640842201543651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=9089640842201543651&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/9089640842201543651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/9089640842201543651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/12/que-peleen-ellos-dice-siria.html' title='Que peleen ellos... dice Siria'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-484269640011493920</id><published>2010-12-10T19:08:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-10T19:27:51.681+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dan Diker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Seguridad'/><title type='text'>Dan Diker on Israel’s Return to Security-Based Diplomacy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Israel’s previous policy of making concessions first and trying to enforce its vital security requirements second has&amp;nbsp;raised international expectations that Israel will continue to offer an intransigent Palestinian leadership greater&amp;nbsp;concessions.

I pay attention to the gamut of influences—cultural, political, social and economic—that shaped his thoughts on the proper role of Islam in the state and society, and in the end propelled him in the direction of radicalism. The book attempts to understand the evolution of Qutb’s ideology in the myriad details of his life. It is a study of an individual and of his times; of objective circumstance and subjective experience, and of how each influenced the other.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But the book also has a critical purpose.&amp;nbsp;In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, many scholars and journalists looked to Sayyid Qutb as a progenitor of Bin Laden’s and Ayman al-Zawahiri’s global jihad. Such an equation is not entirely correct.&amp;nbsp;Although, like al-Qaeda, Qutb preached a total, uncompromising struggle of Islam against its conceptual opposite, Western secular civilization, he was not an advocate of indiscriminate violence.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Qutb would have condemned the violent actions perpetrated by the Egyptian jihadis of the 1970s and 1980s and by al-Qaeda and its regional affiliates today. He would not have understood al-Qaeda’s desire to attack a Western power, such as the United States. In Qutb’s mind, the jihad targeting “iniquitous” Muslim regimes was always paramount.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Ultimately, I want readers to understand objectively how and why this important Islamist thinker repackaged the rich resources of the Islamic heritage for purposes linked to social and political transformation. I aim to provide readers with a highly contextualized study that will allow them better to comprehend contemporary Islamist movements."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oyvagoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/saving11.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.oyvagoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/saving11.gif" width="135" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51q3r1x8vyL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://danielgordis.org/books/saving-israel-how-the-jewish-people-can-win-a-war-that-may-never-end/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;Saving Israel.

In the process, he grapples with controversial questions about Israel, Israeli Arabs, Muslims, and the International community that many Israelis and American Jews are loath to confront.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;His suggestions for what Israel must do to survive, and more importantly, for how it must think if it is to have a future, are sure to arouse debate and even controversy. For Gordis’s book is a passionate reminder of Israel’s purpose, a celebration of what Israel has already accomplished, a renewal of faith in the cause, and a bold guide for carrying on the struggle. Saving Israel is a full-throated call to arms. Never has the case for defending the existence of Israel been made with such confidence, passion, and clarity."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.michaeltotten.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Ghost-of-Martyrs-Square.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.michaeltotten.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Ghost-of-Martyrs-Square.JPG" width="131" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/michaeltotten/2010/06/28/the-ghosts-of-martyrs-square/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;The Ghosts of Martyrs Square.

About the author and the book he says (you should read the whole interview, is woorth it):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Michael Young, opinion page editor at Beirut’s Daily Star newspaper and contributing editor at Reason magazine in the US, is one of the finest analysts of the modern Middle East working in English. He was born in Washington D.C. to a Lebanese mother and American father, and his mother took him to Beirut when he was still a child after his father died. He has lived there for most of his life ever since, even when the country came apart at the seams during the civil war between 1975 and 1990.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;He has seen much more of the place than I have, of course, and he understands it and can explain it better than just about anyone. He also understands the region in general better than most because Lebanon is by far the best place to observe and study the Middle East. It’s the most liberal and open of the Arabic-speaking countries, and all the major players have interests and roles there. The Syrians are there, the Iranians are there, and the Saudis are there.

But the discourse in Arabic - in broadcasts, sermons, speeches, and school textbooks - is far less conciliatory, portraying Israel as an illegitimate invader that must be destroyed. If the conflict is about the size of Israel, then long and difficult negotiations can eventually resolve the problem. But if the conflict is about the existence of Israel, then serious negotiation is impossible. There is no compromise position between existence and nonexistence."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since the book is a collection os previosuly published works, I would say that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Mr. Lewis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; originally wrote those lines before &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;'s Presidency and before the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;European&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; bullying and menacing with the implementation of a &lt;b&gt;Palestian &lt;/b&gt;State even without a prior agreement between &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;and the &lt;b&gt;Palestinians&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A lesson muslims learned from day one is that you can agree on lesser terms when force is not in your side; it will only be a first step in your way to your real goal. That is why the Koran's first suras are far more amiable, accomodating and friendly than those corresponding to later years, when Muhamad had already won battles and was already feared.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is also true that, lately, Western powers have not defended their allies when they required assistance (Kurds in Irak, Georgians in Russia, Maronites in Lebanon, Coreans in Asia, etc) to no one 's surprise, since they haven't defended themselves either, even when ferouciously attacked, at home (WTC in NYC 1993, 9/11, March 2004 in Spain, London,&amp;nbsp;Muhamad cartoons,&amp;nbsp;illegal and legal muslim inmigration all over,&amp;nbsp;etc.) or outside (USA in Lebanon 1983 or Mogadischio 1993, Somalia pirates, persecution of christians in Morocco, Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq and..., etc.).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://holyexposures.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/jerusalem-pan3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="91" src="http://holyexposures.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/jerusalem-pan3.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Israel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;has no way out: it cannot trust those seating at the table, nor the enemies nor the mediators, nor the grantors.

Why are they going to settle for less when they can have it all?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While they don't perceive that they might go backwards again and loose even more, they'll never concede anything. And this means that they will not renounce to the destruction of Israel, not for now, not in actual conditions, even if tactically they pretend otherwise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And Europeans and Americans are not helping at all, on the contrary. If they really want to help they have to back Israel 200% and offer no concessions, or at least that is what he Arabs had to believe. Bullying &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;cannot lead anywhere useful... because the Arabs will want it all, including the anhilitaion of &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;... and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;knows it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Aumann"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Robert Aumann&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, Israeli Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 2005 for his work on conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis, &lt;a href="http://www.tabletmag.com/news-and-politics/45677/wrong-move/"&gt;recently stated the obvious&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"... there can be no co-existence if one person isn’t willing to negotiate as hard as the other. The appeaser will always be swallowed up and simply cease to exist. It is stubbornness rather than the willingness to make immediate concessions that brings about successful negotiations. In other words, if you want peace, prepare for war."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I would like to see something different, but I am sorry to say it: Israeli concessions pushed by Americans and Europeans are the best way to impede any real negotiation... unless we are talk plainly about Israel nonexistence.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pictures: &lt;a href="http://holyexposures.com/wordpress/2007/11/29/jerusalem-bet-safafa-panoramas-%D7%91%D7%99%D7%AA-%D7%9D%D7%A4%D7%90%D7%A4%D7%90/"&gt;Jerusalem from the Arab village of Bet Safafa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-577940763367588828?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/577940763367588828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=577940763367588828&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/577940763367588828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/577940763367588828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/11/conditions-for-israeli-palestinian.html' title='Conditions for an Israeli-Palestinian settlement are not here'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-1331883662187182427</id><published>2010-11-26T13:53:00.018+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-27T14:16:07.426+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sufganiot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Janucá'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shamash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kenny Ellis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rikudim'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hanukkah'/><title type='text'>Janucá en Madrid</title><content type='html'>Si te gusta el swing&amp;nbsp;del filadelfiano&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hanukkah-Swings-Kenny-Ellis/dp/B0009UVBG8"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Kenny Ellis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

(“&lt;a href="http://via.readerimpact.com/c/1/f7c5411eb8c12adc7a5eb3903ad683234e614269723cd511abbea5209e0fb1f0" style="color: #074d8f;" target="_blank"&gt;The Biblical Century,” May 10, 2010&lt;/a&gt;). Most people, I suspect, will find the proposition that the Bible had an influence on Western thought pretty uncontroversial. Most academics would probably agree as well. But this isn’t reflected in either the research that universities conduct or in the courses that are taught to students: The fact is that in most universities in America, Europe and Israel, the norm is still to conduct research and teach disciplines such as philosophy, political theory, and intellectual history as though the Hebrew Bible did not make a significant contribution to the ideas of the Western tradition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of contributing factors here. But a central one is the fact that the Hebrew Bible is usually not studied for its ideas in the academic setting. If the Hebrew Scriptures have anything to say about metaphysics or theory of knowledge, ethics or political philosophy—until recently at least, the Bible programs didn’t really see it as their job to investigate these questions. Neither did the philosophy programs, since the Bible isn't supposed to be philosophy. (According to the old categories, the Bible isn’t&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;reason&lt;/em&gt;, it’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;revelation&lt;/em&gt;.) So in the end, it turned out that no one in the universities thought that their discipline was responsible for researching and teaching the Bible’s ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was very pleased a couple of weeks ago when the &lt;a href="http://www.templeton.org/"&gt;John Templeton Foundation&lt;/a&gt; announced a $1.1 million grant to the &lt;a href="http://www.shalem.org.il/"&gt;Shalem Center&lt;/a&gt; to conduct a three-year international research program investigating the philosophical content of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and Midrash. As far as I know, this grant, which will support a series of annual conferences, workshops for students, and research fellowships, constitutes the first time a major foundation has sought to support research into the philosophical content of the classical Jewish sources. The grant to Shalem is also part of a larger project in “philosophical theology” in which two Christian institutions—the &lt;a href="http://www.nd.edu/"&gt;University of Notre Dame&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.uibk.ac.at/index.html.de"&gt;University of Innsbruck&lt;/a&gt;, Austria—will be conducting parallel investigations into the foundations of Christian philosophy. (I've attached the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://via.readerimpact.com/c/1/f7c5411eb8c12adc7a5eb3903ad68323e7d3c3b45fbb88e8abbea5209e0fb1f0" style="color: #074d8f;" target="_blank" title="Shalem Receives $1.1 million grant from John Templeton Foundation"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jerusalem Post’s&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;coverage of the story&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;here.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of us involved with this project, it's really pretty exciting. Don’t laugh (well, okay, go ahead), but it feels a little bit like trying to land a man on the moon. Of course the project could just fail, or end up being an embarrassment. There’s always that risk. But there’s also this sense that it could be the beginning of something spectacular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, so here’s the first bit of embarrassment. I received word yesterday that one of the principal mailing lists announcing conferences and fellowship opportunities to philosophy professors around the world has declined to post the announcement for the first conference, entitled “&lt;strong&gt;Philosophical Investigation of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud and Midrash&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manager of the list wrote that “We have a list policy against theological/scriptural postings.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The explanation? “They’re just broader than the list supports.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s actually pretty funny that studying the philosophy of the Hebrew Bible is a project too broad for this particular listserv, considering that in recent months they’ve sent out calls for papers trying to enlist philosophy professors to write on topics such as “Philosophy and Baseball” and “Philosophy and Spiderman”. Here's an announcement that I received from this same listserv just three days ago:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #e8eef7; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 17pt;"&gt;Topic:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://via.readerimpact.com/c/1/f7c5411eb8c12adc7a5eb3903ad6832381aad368c7b70d48abbea5209e0fb1f0" style="color: #074d8f;" target="_blank" title="blocked::http://groups.google.com/group/philosophy-updates/t/a53eb5d86ef43f8c"&gt;Book: Porn: Philosophy for Everyone--How to Think With Kink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Davil324 &amp;lt;&lt;a href="mailto:davil324@gmail.com" style="color: #074d8f;" target="_blank"&gt;davil324@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nov 19 06:59AM -0800&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=13107537" style="color: #074d8f;" title="blocked::#digest_top"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porn - Philosophy for Everyone:&lt;br /&gt;How to Think With Kink&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave Monroe, Editor &amp;amp; Fritz Allhoff, Series Editor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Wiley-Blackwell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love it or loathe it, pornography is as old as human&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://via.readerimpact.com/c/1/f7c5411eb8c12adc7a5eb3903ad68323c5cff8888641b8f9abbea5209e0fb1f0" style="color: #074d8f;" target="_blank" title="blocked::http://groups.google.com/group/philosophy-updates/msg/d196644e4dae7c2d"&gt;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.3em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t want to be interpreted as objecting to this kind of thing.

The field of biblical studies produces a steady stream of works on the compositional history, philology, and literary character of the biblical texts. But the ideas that find expression in the Hebrew Scriptures—the metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy of the biblical authors—have seldom been explored by the field of biblical studies in a systematic fashion. At the same time, philosophers, political theorists, and historians of ideas, who see the study of ideas as the principal interest of their work, tend to assume that the biblical texts fall outside the scope of their disciplines. The result is that despite general agreement that the Bible has had an unparalleled significance in the history of the West, its ideas have remained, until recently, largely beyond the reach of sustained academic investigation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Much the same can be said about the other classical Jewish sources as well: The Talmud and Midrash seem frequently to explore subjects of intrinsic philosophical interest. Yet these texts remain all but unknown to philosophers, political theorists, and historians of ideas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The ongoing neglect of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and Midrash by philosophers is especially striking given the rapidly growing interest in theological questions in philosophy departments throughout the English-speaking world. Over the last generation, Christian philosophers have labored successfully to introduce “philosophical theology” (or, more recently, “analytic theology”) into philosophy departments at leading universities. In keeping with longstanding Christian philosophical tradition, this discipline has focused on a priori argumentation concerning the concept of God as “perfect being,” and has usually been conducted with little reference to the Bible. As a consequence, philosophical theology has until now continued the larger pattern of academic neglect of the ideas of the Hebrew Scriptures and other Jewish sources. This has also meant that philosophical theology has been of only very limited relevance to Jews, whose tradition of philosophical and theological speculation is largely text-based.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is unfortunate because philosophy as a discipline could contribute much to the elucidation of the Hebrew Scriptures and classical rabbinic texts. The law-oriented emphasis of much traditional rabbinic exegesis has meant that these texts have not usually been investigated using philosophical tools and with an eye for philosophical questions. So we can ask what do philosophical questions and the answers that have been given until now teach us about the Bible and Talmud? What, for example, does the nature of the mind or language, reality or morals, as understood by philosophers, have to offer us in enhancing or extending the insights from these traditional sources?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In Fall 2010, the &lt;a href="http://www.shalem.org.il/"&gt;Shalem Center in Jerusalem,&lt;/a&gt; with the generous support of the &lt;a href="http://www.templeton.org/"&gt;John Templeton Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, has launched an initiative aimed at developing a Jewish “philosophical theology” that will seek to advance the study of the ideas of the Hebrew&amp;nbsp;Scriptures, the Talmud and Midrash in the academic setting. This initiative is part of a broader “Analytic Theology” project of the Templeton Foundation, which will also support Christian centers for philosophical theology at the University of Notre Dame and the University of Innsbruck, Austria. The Jewish component of the project envisions the development of a uniquely Jewish discipline that will use philosophical tools and methods for examining classical Jewish sources. The project is open to Jewish and non-Jewish scholars interested in the philosophical elucidation of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Talmud and Midrash.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In the context of this project, the department of Philosophy, Political Theory and Religion (PPR) at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem invites submissions for an interdisciplinary conference on “Philosophical Investigation of the Hebrew Scriptures, Talmud and Midrash,” to be held in Jerusalem on June 26-30, 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Invited speakers: Lenn Goodman, Jacob Howland, Joseph Isaac Lifshitz, Alan Mittleman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This will be the first in a series of three annual conferences. For the 2011 conference, the organizing committee will give priority to papers exploring metaphysics and God’s nature. This topic is intended to address questions of what human beings can know about the fundamental nature of reality. Subjects for discussion will include the nature of reality and being, and the relationship of this reality with truth and with goodness. Particular attention will be paid to the question of what can be known about God, including questions of whether God can in fact be considered to be in some sense a being, his attributes, and his relationship to the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;However, superior papers will be considered on all subjects relating to the philosophical investigation of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and Midrash.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abstracts of no more than 1,000 words should be submitted together with a current cv by January 15, 2011&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;An overview of the “Jewish Philosophical Theology” project at the Shalem Center is available &lt;a href="http://www.shalem.org.il/images/jewish_philosophical_theology/Jewish%20Phil%20Theology%20Overview%202%201.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A Select Bibliography of relevant scholarship is available &lt;a href="http://www.shalem.org.il/images/jewish_philosophical_theology/Jewish%20Phil%20Theology%20Bibliography%201%201.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A limited travel fund will be available to assist scholars and students wishing to attend the conference.

Aquí un atisbo de lo que dice:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"What we’re seeing is something akin to the Cold War-era phenomenon of anti-anti-Communism. The anti-anti-Communist left, comprising large sections of the press, academy, and even federal bureaucracies, was simply incapable of understanding that the defense of American civil liberties did not depend on the uncritical defense of the rights of Communists. Call this latest manifestation of liberal illogic anti-anti-Islamism.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While there are a few on the American left, especially in the academy, who maintain that Islamism delivers a valuable critique of Western imperialism, or is a social movement defending the oppressed, this is a minority position. Anti-anti-Islamism is something else: a belief that American opponents of Islamism have cooked up a Muslim scare for their own political benefit, just as anti-Communists once concocted a Red scare!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;'The most obvious similarity is that both originate in a denial of the threat,, says Norman Podhoretz, a veteran of both ideological conflicts. 'The anti-anti-Communists consistently accused the anti-Communists of exaggerating the Soviet threat from outside and the threat of subversion from within. Anti-anti-Islamists make the same accusations against those who take the Islamist threat seriously. Either we are part of an assault on civil liberties, which we are indifferent to, or we are eager to go to war.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;´The anti-anti-Islamists are extremely parochial,' says Paul Berman, one of liberalism’s few outspoken opponents of Islamism."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Liberalism-Paul-Berman/dp/0393325555/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1275215602&amp;amp;sr=1-3" style="clear: left; color: #c94093; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477011177112685122" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TAJApaqlSkI/AAAAAAAAFAQ/JWav2o1DZjA/s200/Paul+Berman+-+Terror+and+liberalism.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: left; height: 115px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: justify; width: 115px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Intellectuals-Paul-Berman/dp/1933633514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1275215602&amp;amp;sr=1-1" style="color: #c94093; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477011177376382450" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TAJApbpc_fI/AAAAAAAAFAI/UaRjOAF9G4U/s200/Paul+Berman+-+Flight+of+Intellectuals.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 115px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: justify; width: 115px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Intellectuals-Paul-Berman/dp/1933633514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1275215602&amp;amp;sr=1-1" style="color: #c94093; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Flight of the Intellectuals&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (2010), el citado &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Paul Berman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; examina la percepción del Islam que tienen los intelectaules occidentales, o su falta de percepción.&amp;nbsp;En&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Terror-Liberalism-Paul-Berman/dp/0393325555/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1275215602&amp;amp;sr=1-3" style="color: #c94093; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Terror and Liberalism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(2004), su antecedente, ya sostenía que la guerra terrorista es en realidad fruto de la guerra entre la sociedad liberal y los enemigos de ésta.&amp;nbsp;Aquí tenéis una &lt;a href="http://www.michaeltotten.com/2010/05/the-flight-of-the-intellectuals.php"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;magnífica entrevista&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;que le hace&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.michaeltotten.com/" style="color: #c94093; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michael J.

en la &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;Unión Europea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, solicita el escrutinio de los imanes, las mezquitas y las escuelas islámicas; el examen de las organizaciones islámicas para asegurarse de que se ajusta y cumplen las leyes alemanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También condena los esfuerzos para construir una estructura legal&amp;nbsp;paralela&amp;nbsp;basada en la sharía. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Su análisis concluye con determinación:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Nos oponemos con toda nuestra fuerza a la islamización de nuestro país."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.diefreiheit.org/grundsatzprogramm/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Die Freiheit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Here is a peak:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"The way Palestinians see things, the fragmentation of the body politic – externally engineered, and increasingly internally driven – has now been achieved. This summer, even the liberal Israeli press began to notice that the key people in Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority’s capital in the West Bank, no longer discuss strategies of liberation but rather the huge business deals that prey on the public imagination. Every institution or overarching structure that once united Palestinians has now crumbled and been swept away. The gulf between Gaza and the West Bank, between Hamas and Fatah, between Palestinians inside Palestine and the millions of refugees outside it, between city and village, town and refugee camp, now seems unbridgeable. The elites are tiny and the numbers of the dispossessed and the disenfranchised increase every day. There is, at this moment, no single body able to claim legitimately to represent all Palestinians; no body able to set out a collective policy or national programme of liberation. There is no plan."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-2358856140562946292?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/2358856140562946292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=2358856140562946292&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/2358856140562946292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/2358856140562946292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/10/every-structure-that-once-united.html' title='Every structure that once united Palestinians has now crumbled'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-297708832723437602</id><published>2010-10-12T19:29:00.016+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-19T18:39:03.336+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barry Rubin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Al Qaeda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bin Laden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EEUU'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MEMRI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hermandad de Musulmanes'/><title type='text'>La Hermandad se une abiertamente a la yihad contra Occidente</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/ReF1XQvV1JI/AAAAAAAAATM/_WagFYl9aQ4/s1600/ikhwan.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/ReF1XQvV1JI/AAAAAAAAATM/_WagFYl9aQ4/s1600/ikhwan.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La &lt;a href="http://morerias.blogspot.com/2007/02/muslim-brotherhood-al-ikhwan-al.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;Hermandad de Musulmanes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;acaso sea hoy el grupo islámico e islamista&amp;nbsp;más importante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Están en misa y repicando: arriba y abajo, en despachos y en arrabales, en el pensamiento y en la acción, en casa y en la calle, en la acción social y en la acción guerrera; actúan abiertamente o en secreto, directa o vicariamente, en la oposición (incluso perseguidos) y en el gobierno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Cuando les dejan participar en unas elecciones y ellos deciden hacerlo abiertamente, lo cuál no es tan frecuente, suelen arrasar.

The lands of the Arabs and of Islam are now plagued with problems because [the Arabs] have lost their [strength of] will, leaving it to the Zionist enemies and their supporters. [The Arab and Muslim regimes] have forgotten, or are pretending to have forgotten, that the real enemy lying in wait for them is the Zionist entity. They are aiming their weapons against their own peoples, while avoiding any confrontation with these Zionists and achieving neither unity nor revival for their nations. Moreover, they are disregarding Allah's commandment to wage jihad for His sake with [their] money and [their] lives, so that Allah's word will reign supreme and the infidels' word will be inferior...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Today the Muslims desperately need a mentality of honor and means of power [that will enable them] to confront global Zionism. [This movement] knows nothing but the language of force, so [the Muslims] must meet iron with iron, and winds with [even more powerful] storms. They crucially need to understand that the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Cuando &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;bin Laden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; hizo lo mismo en 1996 nadie le hizo mucho caso, pero luego llegó el &lt;b&gt;11-S&lt;/b&gt; y todos nos enteramos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;al Qaida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; no tiene ni la fuerza ni los medios ni siquiera la voluntad que desde hace ya mucho acredita la Hermandad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Y &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;EEUU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; significa más que &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;EEUU&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, claro. Así que esta noticia es importante.

Aunque su artículo es muy interesante en muchos aspectos, aquí solo quiero destacar esta conclusión:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"... there can be no co-existence if one person isn’t willing to negotiate as hard as the other. The appeaser will always be swallowed up and simply cease to exist. It is stubbornness rather than the willingness to make immediate concessions that brings about successful negotiations. In other words, if you want peace, prepare for war."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-4977789952778598011?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/4977789952778598011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=4977789952778598011&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/4977789952778598011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/4977789952778598011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/09/por-michael-j.html' title='Las concesiones no traen nada bueno'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TJzoptuTm1I/AAAAAAAAFGE/NpcKx78YR4M/s72-c/Robert+Aumann.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-2195641034511851022</id><published>2010-08-31T22:09:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T22:33:21.064+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='azaque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zakah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zakat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pilarees del islam'/><title type='text'>Curiosidad sobre el azaque, uno de los cinco pilares del Islam</title><content type='html'>El &lt;b&gt;azaque&lt;/b&gt;, o tributo-limosna, es uno de los cinco pilares del Islam, junto al testimonio de fé (&lt;i&gt;shahada&lt;/i&gt;), la oración (&lt;i&gt;salat&lt;/i&gt;), el ayuno (durante el Ramadán) y,&amp;nbsp;quien pueda,&amp;nbsp;la peregrinación a la Meca (&lt;i&gt;hay&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El término árabe (&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;زكاة&lt;/span&gt;) suele transliterarse al inglés como &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;zakat, zakaat o zakah&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;; creo que la primera forma es la más extendida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;en &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"&gt;Occidente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, incluso en &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;España&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.

Acepté. ( ..) No es cierto que yo he vuelto a la selva, como han escrito por ahí algunos periódicos, porque ya no podía acostumbrarme a la civilización. Eso es una mentira grande. Sí en la selva hay cosas buenas: cacería, plátanos, fruta, miel…libertad. Pero y los flechazos, los golpes, los tigres, las culebras, las rayas, las hormigas 24, el waka moshi… No, nunca llegué acostumbrarme…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Y aquí fue donde la encontré, aquel verano del 94, en su casa de Ocamo, a orillas del Orinoco, ya ciega y pobre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;He vuelto a la selva, si, porque no hay sitio para mi en la ciudad.

Poder abandonarme completamente a la emoción de descubrir en ellos ese misterio que no se ve a primera vista y que la fotografía me permite tratar de desentrañar. Y lo intento mostrando, no tanto su vida cotidiana como su identidad profunda, a través del retrato, por encima de su apariencia pintoresca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;José Antonio Carrera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TDClobAf9cI/AAAAAAAAFE4/IVLLtlTzpmA/s1600/Yanomami-JAC-Baseline_Page_06.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490070059627836866" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TDClobAf9cI/AAAAAAAAFE4/IVLLtlTzpmA/s400/Yanomami-JAC-Baseline_Page_06.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 200px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;A pesar de que Porawë es un buen cazador, hoy también regresa al shabono con las manos vacías.

No había secretos para él en este mundo, ni en los otros. Sabía engañar al ronsoco, la hora en la que se posa el paruri, grande como un pavo, y los rincones favoritos del urogallo.

Que diga, resumiendo, que Israel es un país occidental enclavado en Medio Oriente; que tiene derecho a existir y, como nación soberana, a defenderse; que Israel está de nuestro lado; que la paz en la región depende del reconocimiento del Estado de Israel por los palestinos; que hay que luchar contra la constante deslegitimación del Estado de Israel en cada país, en el mundo y en las instituciones internacionales; que hay que dar muestras públicas de adhesión a las instituciones democráticas israelíes; que hay que apoyar el inalienable derecho israelí a poseer fronteras seguras, no cuestionadas por terroristas o por regímenes despóticos, para que sus ciudadanos vivan con las mismas garantías con que vivimos nosotros; que hay, para ello, que oponerse coherente y firmemente a un Irán con armamento nuclear; que hay que trabajar para asegurar que Israel sea aceptado como un país occidental normal, una parte indivisible del mundo occidental al que pertenecemos; y reafirmar el valor religioso, moral y cultural de la herencia judeocristiana como sustento fundamental de las sociedades liberales y democráticas de Occidente."&lt;/blockquote&gt;Si quieres conocer la respuesta a la pregunta que plantea &lt;a href="http://revista.libertaddigital.com/ya-no-somos-cuatro-gatos-1276237924.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Bush&lt;/span&gt;'s 'war on terrorism' has been translated often as 'war on islam,' because terrorists are islamists, for the most part and worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not counting capitalists, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;USA &lt;/span&gt;or &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;as terrorists because I don't think we are, but I know &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;communists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; (aka as leftists... or under many other names) &lt;/span&gt;accuse us of being major ones. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Islamists &lt;/span&gt;too, only they would also identify us as sinners (and that will also include well-meant liberals, of course)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, Islam is often portrayed as the aggressor warrior (some islamists might argue their war is defensive, but that is not what I want to talk about in this post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, it is easy to realize that an idea or religion, although an extremely powerful instrument as it can be, can not be a subject aggressor... but we tend to take the easiest path, so we equal instrument with actor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is dangerous. Very dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's accept that religion can be a potent inductor of conducts and even that some religions are prone to aggression and, even more, that countries with strong islamic dominance are today's font of terrorism... it is still very dangerous to confuse instruments (islam) with actors (people in power).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is dangerous because it misleads us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War (today in the form of terrorism) is always launched by people with power in search of a bigger power. They often cover their ambitions with religious justifications (and islam offers plenty of handles for that purpose) but if we want to understand what is at stake, key to winning the war, we have to keep focused on the actors and their ambitions, because they are our threat and our target.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if they use religion as an arm we have to learn how to neutralize it and how to overcome it... but above all we have to keep our full attention on the aggressors and their ambitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a political issue not a religious one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many years during the XX century, Western peoples (prime time audiences, in today's slang) were not even aware that there were countries and peoples in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Midle East&lt;/span&gt;, even less that they once dominated the 'world.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We began to have a hint when petrol for our cars doubled in price and we were told that it was because of the Arabs. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Arafat &lt;/span&gt;and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Munich Olympics&lt;/span&gt;' massacre of Jews did their part in the path of awareness. Yes, the Jews in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;battled against those people, but since they always won (more or less) we lived through it without paying any attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They didn't have anything attractive to offer us (petrol was delivered to us by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Texaco&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Shell &lt;/span&gt;or &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Gulf&lt;/span&gt;), no &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Elvis&lt;/span&gt;, no movies, no TVs, no &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Chevrolets&lt;/span&gt;, so we didn't pay attention nor cared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the evil role was very well played by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Russia &lt;/span&gt;and a few minor accolytes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we were interested in exoticism, we turned our heads to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Far East&lt;/span&gt; where &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Japan &lt;/span&gt;was starting to produce amazing stuff, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;China &lt;/span&gt;cheap stuff; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Vietnam &lt;/span&gt;immigrants and...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what did the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Middle East&lt;/span&gt; have to offer us? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Niente, niente&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we talk a lot about them. We are very much aware of them. Terrorism has such an effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, hell, we don't even have time to learn the history of our own country, how the heck do you want us to learn anything about those complicated people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was hard enough trying to distinguish between a jap and a chink, and now you want us to know about suffies, shias, sunnis, assassins, syrians, turks, mamelucks, armenians, kurds, niqabs, burkas, suras, hadiths, agk, ihh, jihad, emirs, sultans, caliphs, imams.............? Ugggggghhhhhhhh!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you are right. We are not going to learn any of that. But people in charge should not be confused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In those countries live people in power with ambitions as big and far-fetched as in ours, and those people are the aggressors, not the ideas they cover up with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in those countries live people that realize that if they want a better life for their people they might need to confront neighbors and other entities worldwide to impose what better suits their needs and their wills... and they might fight for that... with all the instruments at hand, including religion, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is the people and their needs and ambitions we have to look at if we want to win the war. And the war should be fought, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without forgetting that even if they all look alike to us, they might be very different one from the other (of course they are!) ... the closer ties they have the more probable is that they are irreconcilable enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let's not mix &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Turks &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Persians&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I know, why the heck did I waste my time writing such a bunch of simplistic givens?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer my friend is blowing on your TV... or maybe  I didn't have anything better to play with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;P.D&lt;/b&gt;. On July, 3rd, 2010, two weeks after I posted this entry, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC6600;"&gt;Muhammad Daoud Oudeh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, aka &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC6600;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abu Daoud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the mastermind of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_massacre"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;PLO's massacre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of eleven &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3366FF;"&gt;Israeli &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics that I mentioned above, died. Today's &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;Palestinian Authority&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Chairman, the so-called 'moderate' (it's amazing what people are ready to beleive!) &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC6600;"&gt;Mahmoud Abbas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=1894"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;touted him as&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, "a wonderful brother, companion, tough and stubborn, relentless fighter," and described him as "one of the prominent leaders of the Fatah movement," as cited by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/e/2010/07/fit-for-the-new-york-times.php"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;Caroline Glick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;London&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;-based and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC6600;"&gt;Abbas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;-controlled &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alhayat-j.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;Al-Hayat al Jadida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; newspaper (&lt;a href="http://www.alhayat-j.com/details.php?opt=2&amp;amp;id=114996&amp;amp;cid=1920"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;here the original news&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CC33CC;"&gt;Al-Hayat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, in arabic, of course).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-1463930521181558634?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/1463930521181558634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=1463930521181558634&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/1463930521181558634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/1463930521181558634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/06/islam-instrument-of-war-not-aggressor.html' title='Islam: instrument of war, not an aggressor'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-5171023336971522252</id><published>2010-06-19T22:07:00.017+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-20T13:14:02.621+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comunismo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Caroline Glick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flotilla Gaza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><title type='text'>Glad I virtually met Caroline Glick... and a suggestion</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Once again, it was &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/martinkramer.page?ref=nf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Martin Kramer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; who gave me the lead to &lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Caroline Glick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;'s excellent article &lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/e/2010/06/weathering-the-approaching-sto.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Weathering the approaching storm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;click in the title to read it in full&lt;/span&gt;). I'll get back to it later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She must be well known, but it was my first contact with her. It won't be the last one. I was so interested that I had to check her &lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);" href="http://www.carolineglick.com/e/about.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;about-me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This is how it starts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"I grew up in Chicago's ultra-liberal, anti-American and anti-Israel  stronghold of Hyde Park. Hyde Park's newest famous resident is Barack  Obama. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He fits right into a neighborhood I couldn't wait to leave&lt;/span&gt;." (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;emphasis added)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;There is a lot to say about the whole paragraph from my Spaniard and personal point of view and situation, but I'll do it, if I do, some other time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her article forecasts political and diplomatic strategic scenarios for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt;, both in the short and medium terms (she says long term... which only means she might be young enough), derived from the recent &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;flotilla-guerrilla's feint&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of it is very interesting. By the way, from day one, the whole flotilla's feint reminded me of the mid 70s &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Moroccan&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Green March&lt;/span&gt; onto the Spanish &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Sahara&lt;/span&gt;, except, I hope, that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;is not as weak and uncommitted as &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Spain &lt;/span&gt;was then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, she states the obvious:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Recent statements by the leaders of Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hamas and  Hizbullah make clear that the members of the Iranian axis view the &lt;i&gt;Mavi  Marmara&lt;/i&gt; episode as a strategic victory in their ongoing campaign  against Israel. The international stampede against Israel at the UN, the  White House and throughout Europe exposed Israel's Achilles heel. The &lt;i&gt;Mavi  Marmara&lt;/i&gt; demonstrated that on the one hand the IDF cannot enforce  its blockade of Gaza without the use of force. On the other hands it  taught Israel's enemies that by forcing Israel to use force, Iran,  Turkey and their allies incited a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;UN-EU-US lynch mob against Israel&lt;/span&gt;." (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;emphasis added)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;She rightly asserts the well known and long-lived value of martyrdom, both for internal and foreign purposes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara&lt;/i&gt; showed Iran and its allies hat they can win  strategic victories against Israel by giving the IDF no option other  than using force against them. This means that Israel can bank on the  prospect that all the ships they are dispatching will be populated by  suicide protesters. Indeed the Iranians have openly admitted this.  Mohammad Ali Nouraee is one of the regime officials involved in  dispatching the Iranian ships to the Gaza coast. In an interview this  week with Iran's official IRNA news agency Nouraee said that the  passengers aboard the ships, "are willing to become martyred in this  way."&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Lebanese ships are being organized by  Hizbullah-affiliated individuals and the Turkish ships are being  organized by the IHH terror group that organized the &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara&lt;/i&gt;.  Hizbullah's penchant for dispatching suicide squads is of course well  known. And the IHH showed its devotion to suicide protests on the &lt;i&gt;Mavi  Marmara&lt;/i&gt;. So it is fairly clear that the passengers aboard the ships  from both countries intend to force the IDF to kill them."&lt;/blockquote&gt;If something works and can be easily replicated we tend to exploit it to the maximum, so she clearly foresees what is coming:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Israel can and should expect mobs of suicide protesters marching on  Gaza to force Israel to surrender control over its borders. Israel can  expect mobs of suicide protesters marching on Israeli embassies and  other government installations around the world in an attempt to  increase its diplomatic isolations. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the  air, Israel can expect charter flights to take off from airports around  the world with a few dozen kamikaze protesters who will force the IAF to  shoot them down as they approach Israeli airspace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Iran  and its allies have found a weak chink in Israel's armor. They will use  it any way they can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(...) The Iranian ships are already en route, and the ships from Lebanon could  appear at any moment. The mass demonstrations against Israel throughout  the world and the threatened violence from the Hamas-supporting Israeli  Arab leadership indicate that mobs of suicide protesters could appear  anywhere with no prior warning."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Then &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/e/about.php"&gt;Caroline&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;goes to what she says is the bigger problem that outcomes from all of this (I am not sure to fully share her view, in fact, I don't, but she might  be right): war or, in fact, wars... of a new kind. That's what she says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;"THE SECOND and far more dangerous implication of Israel's enemies'  aggressive adoption of suicide protests is that by ensuring violence  will be used, they increase the chances of war. Indeed, Iran and its  allies clearly believe that suicide protests are a vehicle for  initiating a full-scale war against Israel on what they view as  favorable footing. According to Bahrain's al Wasat press service,  Hussain Amir, Iran's ambassador to Bahrain threatened this week that,  "If the [Zionist] entity dares to direct any aggressive attack [against  the Iranian ships] then it is certain that [Israel] will be met by a  much stronger and firm blow." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Syrian President  Bashar Assad told the BBC Wednesday that the region is moving towards  war. And the Turkish government is continuing to escalate its assaults  on Israel. On Thursday Turkey threatened to cut off diplomatic relations  with Israel if Israel does not issue a formal apology for its takeover  of the &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara&lt;/i&gt; and pay restitution to the families of the  terrorists killed on board the ship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Obviously  the most disturbing aspect of the war threats is the specter of Turkish  naval vessels attacking the Israeli navy. If Turkey - a NATO member --  participates in a war against Israel, the repercussions for Israel's  relations with NATO member states, including the US, as well as the EU  are liable to be unprecedented. "&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;She also dares to say what is needed (easier said than done):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Israel needs to quickly develop tactics and  strategies for contending with this."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"IN THE days and weeks to come, Israel's political and military  leaders must move resolutely to prepare to withstand these new threats  that arisen in the aftermath of the &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara &lt;/i&gt;episode. To meet  the expected deluge of suicide protesters on sea, land and air, Israel  must immediately acquire non-lethal means to disperse these protests.  This involves purchasing and producing tear gas, water cannons, rubber  bullets and other non-lethal weaponry. These non-lethal weapons must be  rapidly distributed to IDF units deployed along the frontier with Gaza  and to the Navy. They must also be supplied to Israeli security teams  tasked with protecting government installations worldwide. Forces must  undergo intense and immediate training in crowd control and mob  dispersal to be ready to meet what is clearly on the way.&lt;br /&gt;Diplomatically,  Israel needs to hold its new line on the Gaza blockade. Netanyahu's  buckling to US-EU-UN pressure has encouraged them to redouble their  assault on Israel. The new line must be held at all costs. Otherwise,  Israel will have no diplomatic line of defense as the approaching  threats become reality.&lt;br /&gt;Strategically, our  leaders need to consider what our aims will be in the coming war. For  instance, as far as Turkey is concerned, Israel's aim will be to end the  war as quickly as possible. Here the tools of diplomacy with NATO  members and public diplomacy with the American people will be crucial to  convincing Turkey to stand down. They must be aggressively and  energetically utilized without delay.&lt;br /&gt;From a  military perspective, evasion is preferable to confrontation. This  understanding must guide naval operations towards Turkish forces.&lt;br /&gt;As  for Iran, Israel's aim must be to prolong the war as long as necessary  to secure its strategic objective of denying Iran nuclear weapons.  Moreover, it is important to use both kinetic and non-kinetic means to  change the relative power balance between the Iranian people and the  Iranian regime. While in all likelihood today the Iranian opposition  green movement is unable to overthrow the regime, if Iran initiates a  war against Israel, Israel must use the opportunity the war affords to  change that balance of power.&lt;br /&gt;Once Israel's  political and military leaders determine the strategic goals of a  regional war, they must move swiftly to outfit and train the IDF to  fight it. This war will certainly be different from its predecessors and  Israel's strategic goals - and the clear strategic and tactical  preferences of its enemies - dictate the training that the IDF must  initiate immediately. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In this line of thought, I'll dare to put out a suggestion, not necessary meant to be a course of action but food for thought. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;could address the international community (specially, NATO community) saying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"We would like you to help us to stop the next flotillas-guerrillas before they reach the blockade zone in the appropriate manner you consider fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will cooperate with you in that purpose with everything you require, as we sincerely don't want to have to sink those boats and the martyrs they bring onboard."&lt;/blockquote&gt;The point is, if trying to do the minimum damage when obliged to do what is needed has brought (and will probably bring) and uproar of protests, put the ball in the uproareres' camp. (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PS &lt;/span&gt;Today, Sunday morning, I  read the following: &lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=178874"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Next Flotilla will be stoped: Israel  tells the UN Lebanese flotilla will not be allowed into Gaza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; as I said, I believe it would be wise to complement said declaration with a  push to NATO allies to do their part... or shut their mouths.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one more thing on my part: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;should also look carefully at what is happening both in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;US &lt;/span&gt;and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;EU&lt;/span&gt;, and other places around the world... but not from an Israeli point of view, not looking at how it can affect Israeli interests, but looking at the problems, threats and fears the peoples of those countries face in their daily lives.  And the sooner &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;starts identifying Islam, Hamas, Hizbollah and so on with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Communism &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Communism &lt;/span&gt;with the actual  problems affecting the people worldwide, the better. Avoid using expressions as left, antiglobalization, liberals or the kind, as they don't bear the pejorative taint required. And yes, I know, communism looks incompatible with islam... but common interests make allies, even if temporarily, as we all know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, reaching what I really wanted to emphasize from the beginning (I didn't do a good job of synthesis, I know, but as I said at the beginning, the whole article is so interesting), &lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Caroline Glick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; points to the heart:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The longer term lesson of the &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara&lt;/i&gt; incident, and the  threats that emerged in its wake is that war is too serious a subject  to leave to generals. The IDF and the Defense Ministry clearly  misunderstood the nature of the threat posed by the Turkish-Hamas  flotilla. Indeed, recent reports that until the &lt;i&gt;Mavi Marmara&lt;/i&gt;  Israel wasn't even collecting intelligence on Turkey despite its  obvious, multiyear transformation from ally to enemy underlines the fact  that the IDF is woefully incapable of assessing, understanding and  preparing for the threats Israel faces."&lt;/blockquote&gt;And, once again, she is brave enough to suggest a course of action:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"In light of the IDF's failure to understand Turkey's transformation from  ally to enemy in a timely manner, its incompetent planning for  the takeover and its problematic performance in both Operation Cast Lead  and the Second Lebanon War, Netanyahu must create an external body  empowered to assess and dictate the means for preparing for emerging  threats. This body can either be a new department in the Prime  Minister's Bureau or the National Security Council can be empowered to  perform this function. While this is not the most urgent matter on the  national agenda, the establishment of such a body should be a central  mission of the government."&lt;/blockquote&gt;She is probably right, but we all know that if &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;was prepared to produce such a capable body now, the body would already exist, because the capable people call to integrate it would had foreseen what was coming and would have had the will and the power to maneuver for it to be in place by now... and we shall never forget the old saying: if you don't want to solve it, form a committee. Maybe what she is proposing, as she does, is to bring new capabilities and power into the NSC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But she is right, public awareness and globalization (where we people worldwide tend to have an opinion -a very strong and, ususally, way far-fetched opinion-, and an 'easy solution' for everything, even when the problem is happening somewhere we can not put in the map or involve people and histories we know nothing about) has change so many things that it is very probable that the IDF are not prepared to handle the new scenario by themselves, without help and further training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any how, just in case she is absolutely right, the formation of the proposed body should already be in its way... although I am not sure that, in the end, it should be empowered. Empowerment should only come if everything looks right, after a very careful and skeptical, if swift, evaluation of the formation and preliminary works (work in practice) of said body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I know, work in practice is not work and could itself arise added problems, from selection of members to integration with the general organization and other existing bodies and society in general... but I'll rather take that path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, she might be right and action can't wait for all that trying and evaluating. as she warns us:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Time is of the essence. No, Israel does not want another Goldstone  kangaroo court. But right now, kangaroo courts are not our biggest  problem."&lt;/blockquote&gt;I hope &lt;a href="http://www.carolineglick.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Caroline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; doesn't get angry  with me for almost reproducing her article  and tearing it apart.  My first intention was  only to cite a couple of her ideas... but as I have repeated, it was so  interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now a relief... a relief that shows some other modern war games and tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes you have to laugh or make others laugh. Better if you do it frequently... so I let you here with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Three Terrors&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object height="385"

Hamas has brought nothing to the  Palestinians in the Gaza Strip other than death and disaster. &lt;p&gt;The raid on the NGOs in the Gaza Strip, which received little  coverage in the media, is seen by many Palestinians as part of Hamas's  ongoing crackdown on political opponents and human rights organizations.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Further, Hamas's recent decision to ban municipal elections in the  Gaza Strip is yet another violation of one of the basic rights of its  constituents.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested by Hamas's security  forces for daring to speak out against the state of tyranny and  intimidation in the Gaza Strip. Over the past three years, dozens of  Fatah officials and members have either been thrown into prison or  killed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under Hamas, the Gaza Strip is being transformed into a  fundamentalist Islamic entity resembling the regimes of the Ayatollahs  in Iran and the Taliban in Afghanistan."

He said, “I thought to myself,  well, certainly the early Zionist leaders knew that there was a  tremendous demographic disadvantage. They were very much tilting against  reality on the ground, and yet they didn’t despair. Because they knew  something, I think, through their reading of history that perhaps this  particular leader didn’t know. That  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;history is not a straight line&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Efectivamente, la historia no es una línea recta. Y aunque hay grandes estudiosos de los comportamientos humanos, lo cierto es que la historia hace frecuentes tirabuzones, como también los hacen las tendencias y modas dominantes, sin que sepamos muy bien por qué: no se producen al azar, claro, pero no acabamos de entenderlos ni manejarlos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Creo que el reciente evento de la flotilla ha puesto de manifiesto uno de esos giros históricos en la percepción que de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;se tiene en &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Occidente&lt;/span&gt;. De hecho intuyo que ese giro forma parte de otro mayor: el de la percepción que Occidente tiene de sí mismo, de su ubicación en el mundo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sin embargo, no creo que se haya hecho patente, al menos yo no he leído nada al respecto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Vayamos por pasos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La flotilla ha generado tal disparte de declaraciones y manifestaciones, fundamentalmente periodísticas pero también políticas, denigrando la actuación israelí que era ineludible que se produjera un rechazo de excesos tan desatinados y desproporcionados.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No obstante, todos los que defendemos o nos interesamos por las causasa israelí, sionista o judía nos hemos sentido obligados a difundir mil y un datos y obviedades (destacadamente videos, declaraciones, hechos, etc.) para poner en su justo sitio el desafuero mediático desatado.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pero lo cierto es que en Occidente, aunque nos dejamos engañar constantemente, a menudo interesadamente, hace tiempo que estamos al cabo de la calle de las acciones generadas solo para llevarnos al agua, como a los gatos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Y, en este caso, las intenciones de la flotilla eran evidentes desde su origen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Y hace tiempo que los comunistas (o antisistema o antiglobalización, elija usted) llevan tocándonos las narices asignándose la condición de pepito grillo de la conciencia occidental, atribuyéndose en exclusiva la bondad humana y, claro, cargándonos a los demás con el correlativo yang de la maldad... eso sí, viviendo a costa del trabajo de malvados.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;El juego les funciona, pues que siempre hay algún motivo para la mala conciencia... a menudo con razón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Los comunistas antisitema siempre han usado sus soflamas anti &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;como seguro banderín de enganche, con la justificación de defender los derechos de los oprimidos por tan mala gente. Les ha funcionado bien, muy bien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pero cuando han pasado a actuar como colaboradores activos de los islamistas, subiendo varios escalones de golpe, participando activamente en sus acciones, nos han hecho conscientes a los Occidentales no solo de lo que debe llevar Israel sufriendo tanto tiempo en soledad (acaso con la compañía menor de los 'americanos' y los 'capitalistas') sino de la basura que esa gente viene irrazonablemente haciéndonos tragar, por los pecados y desafueros  contra la humanidad pasados y presentes supuestamente cometidos por nuestros antepasados y por nosotros, e incluso por los futuros que cometerán nuestros hijos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Creo que ha sido la gota de exceso que ha colmado el vaso... y que nos hemos dado cuenta, por más que los medios y políticos vayan a tardar un tiempo en darse cuenta de que el viento ha rolado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De hecho, pasado el maremágnum inicial, parece que casi nadie hace el menor caso de los excesos declarativos 'de los sufridos pacifistas' retornados a sus países, tras su liberación y después de pasar por Turquía para celebrar su 'victoria.' En &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;España&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.libertaddigital.com/mundo/los-espanoles-de-la-flotilla-piden-la-expulsion-inmediata-del-embajador-de-israel-1276394468/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;parece que les han recibido sus mamás y sus papás y, claro, los 'intrépidos periodistas'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, que no tenían otro remedio, pero que seguro que conocen el percal mejor que nadie... &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.libertaddigital.com/mundo/los-espanoles-de-la-flotilla-piden-la-expulsion-inmediata-del-embajador-de-israel-1276394468/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;y, claro, los 'intrépidos  periodistas'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, que tan  'profesional y correctamente' nos exponen la miseria humana... con el mejor de los ánimos y las más elevadas intenciones, claro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PD&lt;/span&gt; Siempre he pensado que el no hacer aprecio de ciertas cosas era la mejor manera de quitarles relevancia, de despreciarlas, pero la portada del 5 de junio de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;El Mundo&lt;/span&gt;, sumada a la portada del día de la flotilla, han colmado mi paciencia. Hace tiempo que me viene desagradando mucho y a menudo mi periódico. Pero ahora han colmado mi paciencia definitivamente. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Adiós Mundo&lt;/span&gt;.

No era una misión humanitaria, era propaganda. No fue un crimen, fue un incIdente. No era la 'Flotilla  de la Libertad', era un panfleto de Hamas. Israel  no tiene que ser proporcional a la hora de defenderse, tiene que ganar.  Israel no tiene que caer simpática, tiene que sobrevivir. No eran aguas  internacionales, eran aguas bajo una jurisdicción especial en las que Israel tiene  derecho a defenderse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fue un crimen ocasional,  es una guerra que hace muchos años que dura. El bloqueo no es antihumanitario, es  antiterrorista. Los países vecinos, y los países árabes en general, nunca ayudan a  Palestina, pero siempre la arman. No buscan una solución para la paz sino una  excusa para continuar atacando a Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fue a traición, avisaron.  No fue una salvajada, en tanto que lo salvaje es desafiar al ejército de un  país democrático para hacer propaganda de los terroristas de Hamas. Israel no  quiere la guerra y al mundo árabe no le interesa la paz. Israel puede perdonar que maten a sus hijos pero no que los árabes les obliguen a  matar a los suyos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El incidente no es lo que  buscaban los israelíes, es lo que buscaban los supuestos cooperantes. No iban desarmados, llevaban machetes, barras de hierro y pistolas. Las  muertes han sido un horror para Israel, y un trofeo para un mundo árabe que hace apología de los árabes. Los israelíes construyen refugios y los árabes escudos humanos. No fue un  crimen, fue un acto de defensa más entre tantos otros actos y tantos otros  siglos de vivir defendiéndose. No son unos bestias, los bestias son los otros. Son  el pueblo de la libertad."&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-family:Verdana;font-size:11pt;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13107537-220243554242443815?l=fsantaella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/feeds/220243554242443815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13107537&amp;postID=220243554242443815&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/220243554242443815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13107537/posts/default/220243554242443815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fsantaella.blogspot.com/2010/06/no-fue-un-crimen.html' title='No fue un crimen'/><author><name>FFS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09457382989503480242</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_st9BKlCFuHs/TQ05CoZwZ7I/AAAAAAAAFIk/gI63WiZwCuA/S220/Willy%2BPrimer%2BPlano.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107537.post-5153716529985146610</id><published>2010-06-02T20:43:00.015+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T14:35:05.621+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Defensa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Geografía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Krauthammer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Martin Kramer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael J.

Y sus maneras, que la guerra de hoy no es como la de los siglos pasados. Algunos, equivocadamente, incluso dicen que eso no es guerra, olvidando que la guerrilla, las barricadas humanas (niños, mujeres, ambulancias y hospitales por delante- &lt;a href="http://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e108.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;aquí vídeos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; de &lt;span style="color: #cc6600; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bulent Yildirim&lt;/span&gt;, líder del &lt;a href="http://www.diis.dk/graphics/Publications/WP2006/DIIS%20WP%202006-7.web.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc; font-weight: bold;"&gt;IHH &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;y de la flotilla que metaorigina este post, a bordo del &lt;span style="color: #cc33cc; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marmara&lt;/span&gt;, exhibiendo orgullosamente el uso de niños como escudo) y los caballos de troya hace mucho que se identificaron como instrumentos guerreros de la mayor eficacia.

(Aquí excelente &lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/Ext/Comp/ArticleLayout/CdaArticlePrintPreview/1,2506,L-3896796,00.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;informe en inglés&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://oneworldcorrespondence.blogspot.com/2010/05/informe-de-acom-sobre-flotilla-pro.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;informe en español de lo ocurrido&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, desde la perspectiva de los hechos aparentes, que no es de lo que este post habla.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es cierto que puede presentarse como una acción islámica para debiltar a &lt;span style="color: #3366ff; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Israel&lt;/span&gt;, y desde luego tontos útiles islámicos han participado del juego, pero la provocación tiene todos los visos de una acción claramente comunista para acabar con uno de los pocos bastiones que en Occidente (sí, &lt;span style="color: #3366ff; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;es Occidente) siguen izando la bandera de la libertad. La incompatibilidad esencial  entre islamismo y comunismo ya la resolverán luego, que por ahora el enemigo de tu enemigo es mi enemigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero no se crean. El ataque no solo es externo, también en el interior de &lt;span style="color: #3366ff; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Israel &lt;/span&gt;actúa y se desarrolla con fruición la peste comunista. &lt;a href="http://israel-academia-monitor.com/index.php?type=large_advic&amp;amp;advice_id=7727&amp;amp;page_data[id]=174&amp;amp;cookie_lang=en"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;En sus universidades pasa como en las nuestras&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, que la libertad de expresión solo se aplica a la libertad de expresión de los comunistas, nunca a quienes despreciamos esa corriente de pensamiento, pues que lo consideramos la mayor rémora que desde hace cien años deificulta a la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Humanidad &lt;/span&gt;seguir su camino hacia la &lt;a href="http://sites.google.com/site/fsantaella/legal-and-ethical-considerations-on-human-enhancement-and-robotic-conciousness#TOC-BASICS-AND-DEFINITIONS---WHY-THIS-S"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Singularidad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por supuesto, en este caso, como en tantos otros, lo de menos era la realidad de la &lt;a href="http://www.bicom.org.uk/context/research-and-analysis/spotlight/gaza-facts-and-analysis/analysis/bicom-briefing--israeli-policy-on-access-to-gaza-update"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc33cc;"&gt;política israelí sobre el abastecimeinto de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gaza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Esto no era más que la excusa para la guerra comunista contra la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Libertad&lt;/span&gt;, precisamente su bandera de enganche preferida, también usada en este caso, pues que daba nombre a la flotilla de guerra y desgaste: dime de qué presumes y te diré de que careces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quienes ya tenemos más de medio siglo sabemos que nunca como ahora la  libertad está más restringida en casi cualquier lugar del mundo. Cierto  es que esa restricción ya no suele imponerse mediante la violencia  física sino mediante los reglamentos que ininterrumpidamente nos  instilan estado, estatismo para entendernos, en las venas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es cierto que hace tiempo que en Occidente hemos desistido incluso de aplicar las leyes que nos damos. Quiero decir, de aplicarlas a quienes nos atacan, a quienes atacan nuestra forma de vivir. Cualquiera puede retarnos incumpliéndolas a sabiendas de que si usamos los medios necesarios para hacerlas cumplir seremos ataca
