Dear reader I found the following post on the blog Goliardo whose link is as follows: http://goliardicayapolinea.blogspot.com/ seemed very interesting to reflect and has authorized me to put you in this educational site, which is for anyone who wants to share something. I leave him
Goliardo DICE:
always thought and said that as a human being, I felt shame and horror of the Holocaust, because myself loved the human race will have done this to other beings human. I always thought and said that racism is one of the most egregious forms of human savagery and backwardness. I always thought and said that animals are unable to do that to other animals. Perhaps, these statements forms are only commonplace, but the horror can not be a cliché, should scare us warmly, mobilize and engage, even in small acts that add up, eventually, or to raise a cry that one day eradicate the scourge forever the war in the face of the earth, or at least, the war ceases to be a big business that yields big dividends. Perhaps the latter is also commonplace, but there are times when common places they are still great truths.
I see on the news that in Gaza there are bloggers like us who are writing articles and editing images "live", hell they are living, literally under bombardment. At this news, all one can post from elsewhere in the world, seems a banality.
Because of our lack of lucidity, sometimes disguised in the garb of ideology, or the objectivity or the intelligentsia, in approaching this problem of international politics, we may venture an opinion justifying one of these two sides in struggle, and then give one reason or another, in absurd "arguments of coffee," thousands of miles apart are cultural and historical depths much more massive still. If warranted the state of Israel, we immediately caracaterizados surely as reactionary pro-imperialist (or pro-Zionist, inclusive). If, however, do the same with the Palestinians, other pro brands us as terrorists. In particular, I see things in a completely different way.
Israel met several years ago, and I have a very different set of views, they did change my previous preconceptions. I thought that Israel, basically, was a country, a religiously and culturally Jewish state. However, I found that throughout this small country, Palestinians and Jews live only separated by narrow streets, if not directly mixed. It is therefore difficult to draw a border that separates one side and another Palestinian Jews. In fact, if you walk along the beautiful Old City of Jerusalem, you will find traders from both groups, and even from diverse backgrounds, shouting their wares and bargaining in a mixture of languages \u200b\u200bthat transport us to the biblical Babel. But despite this, tension is permanent, and are always the Palestinians who are bearing the brunt. Unfortunately, Israeli citizens of Palestinian origin (which often are not ciudadadanía the country where they were born), are treated as permanent suspects, and suffer in their daily lives, abuses of all kinds. I had personal experience of traveling to the city of Bethlehem, a distance of few kilometers from Jerusalem with my family in a shared taxi (an old Mercedez Benz limousine turned into mass transit), in which four people were traveling more, besides the driver, all of Palestinian origin, including a Christian priest. Having left Jerusalem, and before entering Bethlehem, we stopped at a military checkpoint barriers, where they fall, at gunpoint, shouting in Hebrew (which is unknown, as in Israel, the entire Jewish population speaks Inges ) to all passengers, except to us, we show our passports through the window Argentines. I was struck by how the priest was treated even more aggressively than the rest. Arriving in Bethlehem we found a city "taken" by UN peacekeepers, who are inevitably hated by villagers, who suffer daily from mistreatment and abuse of these foreign troops of occupation. In the municipality of Bethlehem, Palestinian flag was hoisted, but the territory does not fall within Gaza and the West Bank, but belongs entirely to the state of Israel, but the town is overwhelmingly Palestinian.
The limits of this human geography are imprecise, and irremediblemente are linked. At the taxi, I realized that people living in Bethlehem, were traveling to work daily to Jerusalem every day and every day went through the same thing to us We turned a tense situation. Israel is a militarized territory to such an extent that one becomes accustomed to the constant presence of soldiers armed with rifles and green fagina uniform in all places where you go: on the streets, in cafes (sitting and talking at the next table), on public transport, in shops. Other times, you see them posted pointing to the people: this is a sure sign that one has crossed the sidewalk and entered Palestinian territory (within Jerusalem itself.) The fact that you can not disregard, is that citizens judíosgozan a high standard of living, while the socioeconomic conditions of the Palestinians are very poor.
is not my intention to propose an international policy debate widely exceed my chances, only intend to do a couple of thoughts, which, as stated above, involve running the axis of approach does not take sides with either of the two groups but to see the problem as an eternal conflict between the interests of political and economic power against civilians, against civilians, against the common people. It is fair to know that most of the Israeli population, ordinary citizens, want peace and integration with the Palestinians, and fairly well known that the same is true on the Palestinian side Why then peace and integration appear an unattainable utopia? It seems that both the power of one side as the other, peace does not suit them, and then sow and foment hatred, which eventually leads to a war where the objective seems to be that a group completely eliminated every human being the other group. And I think beyond nationalism, that is what we have to do in any armed conflict, a conflict of interests between two states (or in this case, between two terrorist organizations) where the real victims are ordinary people. Therefore, in this issue, I can not get for Hamas or the State of Israel, as both are interested in maintaining the conflict and sow more hatred and terror to further their interests. Of course, terrorism is always worse exercised by the state, and there will be historical arguments to justify the emergence of groups like Hamas, but I think it is a Byzantine discussion that would lead to a discussion of the type "and egg chicken? ". and ultimately, are political questions that never repaired on the victims who plant, which even called cynically as "collateral damage."
Above all this horror that can plunge us into impotence that leads to indifference, today I pay tribute to the other side of the coin, I think that shows a possible way forward in these circumstances. The homenajeinevitable is for a fellow in my opinion is more worthy of pride of Argentina, because while it is a true "citizen of the world." This is Daniel Barenboim.
Born in Buenos Aires on November 15, 1942, is an Argentine musician Jewish family of Russian, Israeli and English citizen. Achieved fame as a pianist, although it later has gained wide recognition as a conductor, a facet for which he is best known.
In 1952, the Barenboim family moved to Israel. Two years later, his parents sent him to Salzburg to take management classes with Igor Markevitch. Barenboim's debut came at the piano at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria [] in 1952, in Paris the same year, in London in 1956 and in New York in 1957 under the baton of Leopold Stokowski. In subsequent years the concerts have been held regularly across Europe, USA, South America and the Far East. His first recording dates from 1954.
Barenboim is music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he agreed in 1991 to replace Sir Georg Solti.
In 1999, along with Palestinian-American writer Edward Said, who was joined by close friends, founded the Orchestra of the East-West Divan, an initiative to bring together every summer a group of talented young musicians from both Israeli and origin Arab origin. Therefore, given both the Prince of Asturias Award in 2002. In 2004 he was awarded the Wolf Foundation Prize for the Arts in Jerusalem.
On January 12, 2008, after a concert in Ramallah, Barenboim also accepted honorary Palestinian citizenship. As the first citizen of the world with Israeli and Palestinian citizenship, Barenboim said he accepted it with the hope that it serves as a sign of peace between two peoples.
I hope my new status That Will Be an example of Israeli-Palestinian co-existence. I Believe That the Destinies of the Israeli people and the Palestinian People Are inextricably linked. Daniel Barenboim
long for my new status is an example of Israeli-Palestinian coexistence. I believe that the destinies of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples are inextricably linked. Daniel Barenboim

would be nice to think about this particular action, on our ability to commit themselves to causes near and far for which we can raise awareness even from our places, to encourage the development of a true universal consciousness for peace and for the true rights of the people against abuses and abuses of power, without borders. Let's do it ourselves, even from our seats, because we are not exploding bombs on our heads, nor do we to write from the rubble.
In this context, perhaps it would be frivolous to wish you a happy new year. Instead, oppose the power of our hearts that we do not wish for this coming year. So be it.
