Herbert Pagani was born In Libya in 1944. Although he spent his childhood and adolescence between Italy, Germany and France he died in the USA in 1988. As an accomplished painter, sculptor, musician and singer he was known both as Italian and as French.
This remarkable speech, broadcast on French TV, was his reaction, as a Jew, to the 1975 UN resolution, which was revoked in 1991, equating Zionism to racism. The point to ponder is that nothing has changed in over forty years.
Throughout history anti-Semitic vitriol, which more often as not led to one form or another of violence against the Jews, has been used to distract attention from local internal problems. Until recently hatred for Israel united the Moslem world enabling it to hide its own problems and fragmentation. However, the events in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia et al are more ominous than the Palestinian claims against Israel, which have taken a back seat. The divisions in the Moslem and Arab world have been exposed.
That doesn’t mean that the “blame the Jews” is no longer in fashion. The point to ponder is whether the daily headlines about the stalled negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians which rarely, if ever, mention the official Palestinian incitement to violence that has led to young Palestinians to attack and murder Jewish women in cold blood, are still being used to serve as a distraction.
The Swedish leadership needs to distract Swedes from the fact that Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe, if not of the world, and over 90% of those rapes are committed by Moslems. The EU leadership needs to distract Europeans from the disastrous result of free immigration to so called refugees, most of whom are young single men out to improve their economic situation and abuse the local welfare systems. The American leadership, right down to the USA Ambassador to Israel, needs to distract Americans from the surrender to Iran and the “strayed US Naval boat” incident (apparently the US Navy doesn’t use Waze).
What better way than to invoke” the settlements”?
