Tenho ando a evitar questionar-me sobre quem presentemente controla a ONU...
Outros pensarão que estou a reagir a alguma coisa que ouvi e não gostei...
Mais. Ninguém como a ONU tem tanta obrigação de avaliar factos e provas sem se deixar levar por chantagens emocionais e tácticas, por impactos mediáticos estudados e pré-concebidos.
E hoje aconteceu mais uma coisa estranha...
Elie Wieselon, prémio Nobel da Paz que, quando laureado, foi apelidado pela Academia como "o mensageiro para a humanidade".
Durante a II Guerra foi separado da mãe e das irmãs e, juntamente com o pai, foi deportado para o campo de Buna-Auschwitz; após mais de oito meses de trabalhos forçados em três campos de concentração o pai adoeceu, foi espancado e morreu. Ele encontrava-se em Buchenwald quando o campo foi libertado pelos americanos.
Na passada sexta-feira Elie Wieselon publicou uma declaração condenando o Hamas pela utilização de crianças como escudos humanos, intitulada "Os judeus rejeitaram o sacrifício de crianças há 3500 anos. Agora é a vez do Hamas".
Esta declaração ocupou uma página inteira nos jornais americanos The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Miami Herald.
No país da Magna Carta o London Times recusou-se a publicar a declaração porque, e cito: " causará preocupação entre um número significativo de leitores do Times"
( “the opinion being expressed is too strong and too forcefully made and will cause concern amongst a significant number of Times readers”)
Confesso que poderia esperar, ou não me surpreender, uma atitude destas de diversos grandes jornais internacionais europeus, mas o Times...
De facto algumas opiniões são inconvenientes;
sim, mas para quem?
Li e reli o texto com muitíssima atenção. Francamente não vejo o que possa causar tanta preocupação aos leitores do Times. Ainda que estejam árabes entre eles, mesmo que estejam palestinianos entre eles; a menos que "um número significativo" de entre eles sejam do Hamas...
Ou o Times teme retaliação? Hum... not very british...
Ou... quem teme o Times ofender?
Como dizia Hamlet, "algo está podre no reino da Dinamarca"...
Now it's Hamas turn.
"More than three thousand years ago, Abraham had two children. One son had been sent into the wilderness and was in danger of dying. God saved him with water from a spring.The other son was bound, his throat about to be cut by his own father. But God stayed the knife.Both sons – Ishmael and Isaac – received promises that they would father great nations.
With these narratives, monotheism and western civilization begin. And the Canaanite practices of child sacrifice to Moloch are forever left behind by the descendants of Abraham.
Except they are not.
In my own lifetime, I have seen Jewish children thrown into the fire. And now I have seen Muslim children used as human shields, in both cases, by worshippers of death cults indistinguishable from that of the Molochites.
What we are suffering through today is not a battle of Jew versus Arab or Israeli versus Palestinian. Rather, it is a battle between those who celebrate life and those who champion death. It is a battle of civilization versus barbarism.
Do the two cultures that brought us the Psalms of David and the rich libraries of the Ottoman Empire not share a love of life, of transmitting wisdom and opportunity to their children? And is any of this discernible in the dark future offered by Hamas to Arab children, to be suicide bombers or human shields for rockets?
Palestinian parents want a hopeful future for their children, just like Israeli parents do. And both should be joining together in peace.But before sleepless mothers in both Gaza City and Tel Aviv can rest, before diplomats can begin in earnest the crucial business of rebuilding dialogue… the Hamas death cult must be confronted for what it is.
Moderate men and women of faith, whether that faith is in God or man, must shift their criticism from the Israeli soldiers – whose terrible choice is to fire and risk harming human shields, or hold their fire and risk the death of their loved ones – to the terrorists who have taken away all choice from the Palestinian children of Gaza.
I call upon the Palestinian people to find true Muslims to represent them, Muslims who would never voluntarily place a child in danger. I call upon President Obama and the leaders of the world to condemn Hamas’ use of children as human shields.And I enjoin the American public to stand firmly with the people of Israel who are in yet another struggle for survival, and with the suffering people of Gaza who reject terror and embrace peace.
Let us return child sacrifice to the darkest corner of history, and work towards a brighter future with those who choose life, Arabs and Jews alike, all of us Abraham’s children."
