TORONTO – Non c’è tregua per gli assediati. Nonostante tutto il trambusto che circonda la dottrina dei diritti umani per tutti e dei privilegi per nessuno, l’istinto animale di molestare, indebolire e infine abbattere la preda individuata come vulnerabile vince inesorabilmente. Questa è una verità ovvia applicabile in politica, come nella vita. Da qui l’avvertenza di “coprire le proprie tracce”, o, in un linguaggio piuttosto banale, di non piegarsi in una doccia comune…
TORONTO – There is no respite for the beleaguered. Despite all the commotion surrounding the doctrine of human rights for all and privileges to none, the animal instinct to harass, weaken and ultimately bring down prey singled out as vulnerable inexorably wins out. This is a truism applicable in politics as it is in life. Hence the caution to ‘cover your tracks’, in rather pedestrian language, do not bend over in a communal shower.
TORONTO – L’impensabile sta accadendo sotto i nostri occhi. Un presidente americano e membri del Congresso americano, soprattutto i democratici, stanno condannando Israele per aver “oltrepassato il limite” nella sua strategia politica a Gaza…
TORONTO – The unthinkable is happening before our very eyes. An American president and American members of Congress (primarily Democrats) are condemning Israel for ‘crossing the line’ in its Gaza political strategy. More importantly, it the USA has now ordered a hold on weaponry allocated to Israel as part of its USD 15 billion aid package for the purpose of defending ‘Israel’s right to exit’.
TORONTO – It is a self-glorifying, quasi-condescending observation towards “peoples” who do not appear to share the same “Olympian standards of deference” to the law that we claim for ourselves. As I watched some video reproductions of Sikh Vaisakhi parades in Vancouver last week, I kept thinking of a Hero in Canadian Journalism – Tara Hayer – who risked Limb and then Life to expose the truth so that we could say Canada is a “rule of law country”.
