The network is mobilized to the Syrian blogger kidnapped

We publish a translation of the last blog post appeared in A. Amin, written by her cousin Rania, with the latest information on the Syrian blogger kidnapped by three armed men on June 6 last year. I talked on the phone with both parents to Amina, and all we can say now is that it's gone. His father is desperately trying to find out where his daughter and who took it.

Unfortunately, in Syria there are at least 18 different police forces, as well as various militias of the parties and the gang. We do not know who has the power, and therefore we do not know who to ask for his release. E 'are likely to forcibly deported. Based on the experiences of other family members imprisoned, we believe that will be released soon.

Do not leave them alone

Follow the election has a strange taste when you do it from afar. It 's all a bit' inside you, around the others live a different everyday life, made up of other things and other expectations. In New York it was Memorial Day, Holocaust Memorial Day in some way, as ever more conducive to "welcome" what was going on in Italian cities.

At the park, with Dorothy, I could not take my eyes from my IPhone, subtle link between me and the northern and southern Italy. That Italy offended and hurt to death recklessly and repeatedly. I watched from afar, and I said "up, come on, pulled up." And then the party scene. It seemed to me to be there.

Obama got Osama

Here in the U.S. is just after 22 when all the television stations and online sites announced by the chairman, by surprise, will address a message to the nation on a subject not specified. At 22.30 the nation knows that this is a news about the capture or killing of Osama Bin Laden. At 22:45 comes the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden.

We have to wait beyond 23 to confirm official intervention by the President, while Twitter and Facebook have not stopped a moment to tell a historic moment. Today we will make analysis and reasoning. Last night, meanwhile, knowing, as mentioned by the president, that this event does not mark an end to terrorism at all, going to sleep, we knew she'd seen one of those moments that will enter the history books of law.

Revolutions: no leader can be

Maybe you have not noticed, but in recent months have shown us the news almost daily images of demonstrations, riots and popular uprisings in the Mediterranean, never introduce a leader of the revolt. The only leader who was mentioned was to be killed: Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi, Bashar al-Asad, and so on.

We have seen pictures of the state television (few) images filmed by independent reporters (a little 'more), images taken directly from some protesters with an amateur camera phone or even with (many). We have seen a veritable revolution in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and now in Syria. Yet no commentator has bothered to tell who is who, in those countries, was put in charge of the opposition to the regime, who has driven or simply inspired men and women take to the streets to ask, rather: pretending , freedom and democracy.

President, what are the "natural development"?

When we speak of the Head of State should go with feet of lead. For three reasons: institutional respect, because Napolitano is the only (maybe the only) that inspires confidence to the Italians, because Berlusconi fails to diminish the constitutional integrity. But the "natural development" of our military intervention in Libya, are allowed a number of concerns.

The first is a constitutional right: Italy rejects war and enter into a conflict, siding with one of the contenders, it looks like its a mission of peace, not even bothered all the hypocrisy that we are capable. The second is that there are no "rockets extreme, extreme accuracy" because there are no targets of "extreme, extreme" certainty.

Diary from Israel - Mourning for Livnat and Arrigoni

I was in Nablus in the northern West Bank, only a few days ago and now I learn of the tragedy of last night. Ben Yosef was killed at dawn Livnat, grandson of the Israeli Minister of Culture Limor Livnat. Four other Israelis were wounded. A shot was a Palestinian policeman, the PA has been informed of Tel Aviv.

The policeman, as the statement said Palestinian shot "after noticing suspicious movements." That place, Joseph's Tomb, the PA is under Palestinian administration must give permission to the Jews who come on pilgrimage since the Oslo Accords (1996). In the last period there have been tensions and what happened this morning does not leave any good to think about the future.

The pacifist pulled by the jacket

He died a man who worked for peace. A man who thought and wrote about things which might not always agree, but he put himself into play. And as for her being where she had chosen to live and work alongside the people of Gaza, paid with his death. This and only this should be thought of every human being deserves to be called up this Vittorio Arrigoni, the thirty-six anti-war cruelly murdered in Gaza by an unidentified group of Islamic extremists.

Sorry Victor

Pg Baptist wrote in the Corriere della Sera, Vittorio Arrigoni was a fanatic, but still horribly murdered in Israel guilty of placing all the blame for the tragedy in the Middle East. Certainly. If Victor had stayed at his house in the rich Po Valley, not the brain so it would be drunk. Maybe he would go with the local trout, Hollywood would have danced with some tissue, was going to see Inter or Milan people envying the big car heroes.

Arrigoni, the sincerity of an anti-hero

Vittorio Arrigoni talks on Youtube by contacting Roberto Saviano. For Gaza. The small Palestinian coastal strip bordering Israel and Egypt was inhabited by about one and a half million Arab region is in fact occupied. The Palestinian Authority to claim as part of the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the battle of 2007 is in the hands of Hamas.

However, Israel maintains military control of airspace, borders and territorial waters and committing systematic abuses and human rights violations against the inhabitants. Now Hamas indirectly accuses Israel of masterminding the killing of Arrigoni to intimidate activists to foreigners who have come.

In memory of a pacifist uncomfortable

I have not had the pleasure of knowing personally Vittorio Arrigoni, but his testimony was receiving from Gaza several times a day on my Facebook page. Someone wanted to silence an uncomfortable voice, because it constantly informed on the misdeeds of Israeli colonialism, guilty of massacres that the international community has so far looked good from sanction by the power of veto in the United States in the Security Council Nations United.

Stay human, Vik

Human remains and Vittorio Arrigoni the phrase with which he signed his articles for the Manifesto and the web. And "human remains" is the only thing I can say today, in front of his barbaric murder. A death that leaves me, among many, one regret: not having met him in person, I learned about reading, in time, his writings and seeing his videos.

Vittorio was a non-violent, a full-time volunteer, one of those who did not think about his future because too busy to devote this "other". He devoted himself to the Palestinian cause. But can you imagine an Italian like that? In the Italy of those days would have been profane: "We shoot on migrants," "Mitragliamoli", and he there, side by side with the "barbarians", ready to act as his shield.

All appointments to remind Vittorio

"Human remains and the adage with which to sign my pieces to the poster and the blog is an invitation to remember the nature of man, I do not believe in boundaries in the barriers into the band. I believe that we all belong, regardless of the latitudes and longitudes, in the same family which is the human family.

" E 'with these words that we want to remember the pacifist Vittorio Arrigoni friend kidnapped in the Gaza Strip this night and then murdered. For this reason - following the invitation of the many friends who are turned - now we will be: - at 16:00 at the Colosseum in Rome - Milan at 16.00 in Piazza del Duomo - permanent garrison in Genoa from 10.00 in Via Roma - Bologna at 17.30 in Piazza Nettuno.

Arrigoni, a hero of our time

Vittorio Arrigoni was killed because he does not tolerate those who kill witnesses. But also because the spiral of madness in this world which is sliding require blood on the altar of the powerful. And 'the death of a hero of our time, which, increasingly, will need heroes. The best way to honor his memory will be to prepare to face a wave of violence that is proportional to the severity of the crisis in which the power struggle that led the planet in the storm have already begun.

Arrigoni and others: the blood of the peace

Human remains. It concluded with the exhortation was for weeks and weeks, his correspondence from Gaza during the operation lead time in December 2008-January 2009 in which Israel bombed Gaza. Vittorio Arrigoni was the only Italian correspondent was there, under the bombs of the war, and its daily news, published by the Manifesto, have been used by the entire mainstream of information, including televisions.

Vittorio Arrigoni, Human

It was not just a volunteer, Vittorio Arrigoni. He was an activist. He was a pacifist. He was an expert on the Palestinian question. He was a writer and a journalist. But above all, was a clear voice, a witness to a complex reality, one in Gaza, who lived inside. Of course, no Italian newspaper had prepared a "crocodile" celebration of Vittorio Arrigoni.

Not because it was known that he lived in a risky situation, but because the entries are entries like its uncomfortable. Why Arrigoni, who wrote the Human belRestiamo and told of Gaza on Guerrilla Radio, a blog, it was a difficult character to deal with, from Italy. Not content to be told from home the reality that he lived.

Human remains, Victor

Vittorio Arrigoni was dead because we are not quite human remained. Or perhaps, the stories and the clouds over Palestine, we are not ever been. I heard the voice of Victor for the last time a few days ago, for an evening that we had organized in Milan on the next departure dellaFreedom Flottille. An evening of silent and dark.

Speaking in Milan of Palestine is like uncovering an island that no one wants to put on the map. His phone call that night was a bridge built in a moment that has led us to a heart so equal in so many different territories. His voice was firm, surgical and sharp man who can not avoid being aware of it.

Southern Mistral 2011

So now we know that the war against Libya was prepared through a military exercise in early November 2010, when even the so-called "popular uprising" had not yet even begun. Who can sincerely wants to go on this link. Staggering, but we tell it themselves. The country is, in code, Southerland, land of the south.

The dictator is not named, but the planners in Paris and London had already planned what is happening: that beneath their bombing "humanitarian" the family of the dictator was forced to negotiate the surrender. The predictions of general Sarkozy were very accurate (when you say the foresight!).

With Gino, against the certainty of war

The war killed, wounded, suffering enormous. The war does not absolve never the objectives: Ten years after the invasion of Afghanistan, Bin Laden was not captured, the war in Iraq, began March 20, 2003 and formally ended only by Obama on August 31, 2010 without able to stabilize the situation and never was no trace of chemical weapons deemed safe by U.S.

strategists, in Libya, as in previous cases, at the beginning there was talk of "lightning war" but the facts are showing that it will not be so . The war is Important, but not to the people. Since you continue to waste our money to buy more expensive planes (10.5 million euro each) as unnecessary and to participate in acts of war.

That's what this war

Speaking of stories on alleged plans to "help the civilians threatened by bombing." This writes the fabulous BBC, under the title: "In war. The Libyan rebels recapture a key cities "" Perhaps, ultimately, the air strikes will be sufficient to reverse the situation. Rebels have recaptured the Libyan city of Ajdabiya key after seven days of coalition bombing.

Allied planes have removed the tanks around the city and provided cover the advancing rebels. A BBC reporter counted about 20 tanks and armored vehicles, which the people danced and sang 'With Obama' and 'Thanks Cameron'. Colonel Gaddafi, meanwhile, has high degree of all members of the army and police forces.
