Titolo: Israel elects its Bush

Un articolo tremendo per la sua aderenza alla realtà.
Posso solo aggiungere che ormai disprezzo profondamente quegli 
intellettuali ebrei di sinistra che, avendo i mezzi per capire e per 
comunicare quali saranno le concrete implicazioni della vittoria del 
likud, tacciono per vigliaccheria, rendendola in tal modo possibile.

Israel elects its Bush
By Gideon Levy
Tags: Israel news, elections
The elections for the 17th Knesset have already been decided: Benjamin 
Netanyahu will be the next prime minister. Nothing will change the 
current trend, which was reflected in polls this weekend. At a time when 
the entire world, including Israel, is amazed and moved by the miracle 
election of Barack Obama, Israel is on the verge of electing George Bush.
Tzipi Livni will not become less feeble, and Ehud Barak will not fix his 
waywardness. And the new left-wing party in the works will not make a 
difference one way or the other - it is too little, too late. Israelis 
intend to vote for the conservative, right-wing, nationalist, bellicose 
candidate - the Israeli Bush. The world is moving forward, while Israel 
is taking a step backward.
Netanyahu may not be as awful as it would appear for the left, but the 
sweeping support he enjoys in the polls signals to us and to the world, 
including the Arab world, the true nature of Israeli society. Good 
riddance to the deceptive myth that most Israelis want peace; you can 
forget about all the deceitful polls that showed most of the public 
supports a two-state solution. No solution and no two states, but only 
the truth, which once again has been exposed: a nationalistic, 
belligerent society electing its spitting image as its leader.
Once every few years we have this referendum over the future of peace 
and the occupation, the main issue in every election campaign. Once 
every few years, the left is revealed to be as virtual a force as there 
ever was. Candidates bicker among themselves over who will "divide" and 
who will "return," who will "concede" and who will "give" - questions 
that are downright immoral given that the discussion is over territories 
that are not ours.
Ultimately, the candidate who is elected - every candidate who is 
elected - does too little, if anything at all, to advance peace and end 
the occupation. The deceptive dialogue - which implies that immediately 
after the elections, something will change - shatters, time after time. 
 From this standpoint, there is no huge difference between the 
candidates. Nonetheless, the broad support for Netanyahu has deep 
significance. It reflects the nation's prevailing spirit: Israelis want 
the Arabs "to disappear," or at the very least to leave them in "quiet," 
it does not matter how. Forget about all the rest.
We will all vote for Netanyahu and his Likud party, with the bizarre 
Benny Begin and Moshe Ya'alon at the helm, and for a few more years of 
violence and occupation. We will vote Netanyahu and we will have 
"economic peace" and a right-wing economy, just like we want, just like 
we deserve. We will signal to the Arabs: Forget about peace, the Saudi 
initiative, a just and historic compromise, strengthening the moderates 
among you, and negotiations rooted in a genuine, sincere desire to reach 
peace. In the next breath, you will get the lie of "economic peace" and 
that famous, nonsensical "they'll give, they'll receive," and the "major 
operation" so desired in Gaza, which would mean the end of real 
negotiations.
Israeli society will once again get chants of "they are a-f-r-a-i-d," 
whispers of "the left has forgotten what it is to be Jewish," piggish 
capitalism and Thatcherism. Indeed, not even a particularly sharp 
microscope could spot any changes in Netanyahu since the last time 
Israelis got fed up with him. Nothing in him has changed - only we have 
changed. The nationalistic, bellicose genie has once again emerged from 
the bottle.
There are times when a vote for the right could signify a temporary 
postponement of inevitable historic processes. Not so this time. The 
Arab world is repeatedly knocking on Israel's door, nearly begging us to 
resolve the Palestinian problem and let everyone make peace; the 
president of Syria has made statements similar to those that brought 
Anwar Sadat here and is not being heeded; the desperate Palestinians are 
standing on the verge of the next major confrontation with us, led by 
Hamas in Gaza and soon in the West Bank; some of the former leaders of 
the right, chief among them Ehud Olmert, have finally awaken from their 
dangerous dreams of a Greater Land of Israel; and more than a few 
settlers are willing to consider leaving in exchange for compensation. 
As all these opportunities lie before us, Israel is voting in favor of 
rejection.
We are on the verge of electing a candidate who has explicitly declared 
that there is nothing to discuss with the Palestinians regarding a 
settlement, someone who has already proven his extensive pyromaniacal 
skills in opening the Western Wall tunnel, someone who tries to mislead 
the public with baseless statements about Palestinian industrial zones 
in place of evacuating settlements, and providing economic aid instead 
of granting the Palestinians political independence - as they are 
entitled, as every nation is entitled.
Netanyahu will once again deceive, Obama will keep his distance due to 
other urgent problems, opportunities will be missed and the fire will 
flare up again. This is what we want, and this is what we will get. 
Nonetheless, the inauspicious polls do contribute one thing: They rip 
off the disguise. An Israel that votes Likud does not want peace - no 
ifs, ands or buts.

il pirla è convinto che l'intellettuale ebreo abbia le caratteristiche
del mago: parlando, modifica la realtà.

I maghi producono illusioni che gli stolti scambiano per realtà.
Una di queste è che Israele possa sopravvivere senza una pace con i 
palestinesi, cioè senza una pace con i popoli arabo-islamici.
Agli intellettuali di sinistra spetterebbe il compito di smascherare 
questa illusione. La gran parte di loro invece non lo fa, e questo 
condanna Israele.

 condanna Israele.
E' sempre poco produttivo confondere la realtà e i sogni bagnati.
Una roba da pirla, per dirla in soldoni.

 Agli intellettuali di sinistra spetterebbe il compito di smascherare
e al resto del mondo ascoltare il silenzio.
Il mondo a misura di pirla.

 E' sempre poco produttivo confondere la realtà e i sogni
nella realtà, infatti, il faro morale di Israele, luce delle
generazioni a venire, integerrimo rappresentante dei valori ebraici,
Ilan Pappe, ha parlato eccome: ci vuole lo Stato binazionale, dice. E'
Persio che non se ne è accorto.

 intellettuali ebrei di sinistra
Tu disprezzi gli ebrei di destra e pure quelli di sinistra.
Non e' una novita' visto che sei un antisemita conclamato da tempo :)
Gli unici ebrei che apprezzi sono quelli *PIRLA* quanto te :)
