Titolo: Gaza is occupied, Gideon Levy su Haaretz

da sempre molto critico, questo articolo di Levy è un vero pugno allo
stomaco. 
Lo posto perchè sarebbe facile copincollare ciò che leggiamo nelle
corrispondenze dei giornali europei, che convergono sulle stesse
conclusioni di Levy; credo però che la profonda conoscenza dei
luoghi,politiche e degli avvenimenti di Levy sia decisamente più
autorevole.
So bene il duro giudizio dato da molti sull' "affossatore" del Labor ed
ex-portavoce di Peres; credo che sia importante anche considerare la dura
responsabilità che Hamas porta al deterioramento inarrestabile di Gaza,
come già filtra - sotto forma di autocritiche quasi impensabili - da
parecchi settori palestinesi. 
Spero che ben presto ci si ri-occupi (sic) a livello internazionale di
questo e della sciagurata politica di espansione in Cisgiordania, che sta
tagliando de facto la continuità territoriale (allargamento di Gerusalemme
Est) del futuro Stato.

Gaza has been reoccupied. The world must know this and
Israelis must know it, too. It is in its worst
condition, ever. Since the abduction of Gilad Shalit,
and more so since the outbreak of the Lebanon war, the
Israel Defense Forces has been rampaging through Gaza -
there's no other word to describe it - killing and
demolishing, bombing and shelling, indiscriminately.
Nobody thinks about setting up a commission of inquiry;
the issue isn't even on the agenda. Nobody asks why it
is being done and who decided to do it. But under the
cover of the darkness of the Lebanon war, the IDF
returned to its old practices in Gaza as if there had
been no disengagement. So it must be said forthrightly,
the disengagement is dead. Aside from the settlements
that remain piles of rubble, nothing is left of the
disengagement and its promises. How contemptible all
the sublime and nonsensical talk about "the end of the
occupation" and "partitioning the land" now appears.
Gaza is occupied, and with greater brutality than
before. The fact that it is more convenient for the
occupier to control it from outside has nothing to do
with the intolerable living conditions of the occupied.
In large parts of Gaza nowadays, there is no
electricity. Israel bombed the only power station in
Gaza, and more than half the electricity supply will be
cut off for at least another year. There's hardly any
water. Since there is no electricity, supplying homes
with water is nearly impossible. Gaza is filthier and
smellier than ever: Because of the embargo Israel and
the world have imposed on the elected authority, no
salaries are being paid and the street cleaners have
been on strike for the past few weeks. Piles of garbage
and obnoxious clouds of stink strangle the coastal
strip, turning it into Calcutta.
More than ever, Gaza is also like a prison. The Erez
crossing is empty, the Karni crossing has been open
only a few days over the last two months, and the same
is true for the Rafah crossing. Some 15,000 people
waited for two months to enter Egypt, some are still
waiting, including many ailing and wounded people.
Another 5,000 waited on the other side to return to
their homes. Some died during the wait. One must see
the scenes at Rafah to understand how profound a human
tragedy is taking place. A crossing that was not
supposed to have an Israeli presence continues to be
Israel's means to pressure 1.5 million inhabitants.
This is disgraceful and shocking collective punishment.
The U.S. and Europe, whose police are at the Rafah
crossing, also bear responsibility for the situation.
Gaza is also poorer and hungrier than ever before.
There is nearly no merchandise moving in and out,
fishing is banned, the tens of thousands of PA workers
receive no salaries, and the possibility of working in
Israel is out of the question.
And we still haven't mentioned the death, destruction
and horror. In the last two months, Israel killed 224
Palestinians, 62 of them children and 25 of them women.
It bombed and assassinated, destroyed and shelled, and
no one stopped it. No Qassam cell or smuggling tunnel
justifies such wide-scale killing. A day doesn't go by
without deaths, most of them innocent civilians.
Where are the days when there was still a debate inside
Israel about the assassinations? Today, Israel drops
innumerable missiles, shells and bombs on houses and
kills entire families on its way to another
assassination. Hospitals are collapsing with more than
900 people undergoing treatment. At Shifa Hospital, the
only such facility in Gaza that might be worthy of
being called a hospital, I saw heartrending scenes last
week. Children who lost limbs, on respirators,
paralyzed, crippled for the rest of their lives.
Families have been killed in their sleep, while riding
on donkeys or working in fields. Frightened children,
traumatized by what they have seen, huddle in their
homes with a horror in their eyes that is difficult to
describe in words. A journalist from Spain who spent
time in Gaza recently, a veteran of war and disaster
zones around the world, said he had never been exposed
to scenes as horrific as the ones he saw and documented
over the last two months.
It is difficult to determine who decided on all this.
It is doubtful the ministers are aware of the reality
in Gaza. They are responsible for it, starting with the
bad decision on the embargo, through the bombing of
Gaza's bridges and power station and the mass
assassinations. Israel is responsible now once again
for all that happens in Gaza.
The events in Gaza expose the great fraud of Kadima: It
came to power on the coattails of the virtual success
of the disengagement, which is now going up in flames,
and it promised convergence, a promise that the prime
minister has already rescinded. Those who think Kadima
is a centrist party should now know it is nothing other
than another rightist occupation party. The same is
true of Labor. Defense Minister Amir Peretz is
responsible for what is happening in Gaza no less than
the prime minister, and Peretz's hands are as
blood-soaked as Olmert's. He can never present himself
as a 'man of peace' again. The ground invasions every
week, each time somewhere else, the kill and destroy
operations from the sea, air and land are all dubbed
with names to whitewash the reality, like 'Summer
Rains' or 'Locked Kindergarten.' No security excuse can
explain the cycle of madness, and no civic argument can
excuse the outrageous silence of us all. Gilad Shalit
will not be released and the Qassams will not cease. On
the contrary, there is a horror taking place in Gaza,
and while it might prevent a few terror attacks in the
short run, it is bound to give birth to much more
murderous terror. Israel will then say with its
self-righteousness: 'But we returned Gaza to them.'

This is disgraceful and shocking collective punishment.
Certo, certo... :)

Taglio il resto delle stronzate.

..ed ecco il noto esperto di trollata mondiale conoscere meglio la
situazione di Gaza di un giornalista che la visita e ci indaga da anni....
Sai cosa, DeCes? Oramai sei piů innocuo di una bombetta puzzolente: fai
quasi tenerezza :)

 quasi tenerezza :)
Mhà..."non innocuo" - ovvero pernicioso - mai lo fu, figurarsi.
Un fenomeno "cencionico" direi, questo sì.
Uno strazio indicibile ed uno "smarronamento" senza fine.
Responsabilità diretta della sua medesima genitrice che per toglierselo
dalle cosce gli consente stè infinite scorribande nel web....
Tenerezza poi - permettimi - è un azzardo da abominio, se riferito come
concetto a stò pirla mononeuronico da quattro copechi bucati.

 concetto a stò pirla mononeuronico da quattro copechi bucati.
forse la meta-esperienza della sua irritante "parabola" su Usenet, passata
attraverso la fase masochista (leggere i suoi post su
it.discussioni.sentimenti), la fase violenta (in cui ogni suo post mi
ispirava desiderio di rissa) è finalmente arrivata all'indulgenza buddista,
per cui il suo ormai famigerato *pat pat* assurge come il Suono Primigenio,
quello della sua Scatola Cronica rimbombante echi di solitudine e tristezza
umana indicibile.... :-)

fai quasi tenerezza :)
...disse il bue all'asino... :)

E' quello che si sente ogni volta che ti fanno *pat pat* :)
