Remembrance Day: Besa, a code of honor

During the Day of Remembrance the Jewish Museum of Bologna (as the Jewish Museum Carlo e Vera Wagner of Trieste) dedicates an exhibition organized by the Yad Vashem The Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, the Albanian code of honor, the "Besa", in memory of the Albanians who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust .
the respective sites of the museum is an interesting reconstruction of this story, very little known to most and who deserves to be known. In Albania, overwhelmingly Muslim country, in fact, lived only a few hundred Jews of about 800 thousand inhabitants. But after 1933, the year of Hitler's rise to the chancellorship in Germany, Albania offered hospitality and protection to a thousand Jewish refugees who come not only from Germany but also from countries that were undergoing or about to suffer the invasion of German troops (Austria, Serbia, Greece), while in other European countries wherever applied racial laws with the complicity or simply in the silence of the majority of citizens. The
Albania instead welcomed asylum seekers and refused to surrender to the Nazi-fascist lists with the names of Jews who lived in the country. Not only that, but many agencies governments to ensure many Jewish refugees false documents that allowed them to "blend" between the Albanian population. It should be recalled that in 1939 Albania was under Italian occupation and in 1938 in Italy - and therefore also in all the territories of his "empire" - had come into force fascist racial laws. So be a citizen of Albania and jew meant deportation to Nazi death camps.
"Besa" reads the introduction to the exhibition in Bologna, "is a noble promise bound by moral choices based on a high sense of honor and human justice. It is a concept that is established on the ancient code of the Albanian under which commits every Albanian provide assistance to any individual in situations of need, regardless of its status as cultural, religious, ethnic, social, age, etc. ". . In the words of the son of the Albanian family Vasheli, honored by Yad Vashem, the title of Righteous Among nations for saving many Jews, "Our first house is the house of God, then the guest house, then the family house. The Koran teaches us that all people - Jews, Christians , Muslims - are under one God ".
" The very concept of "Besa" - continues at the site - not have much to do with religion itself as the virtues of courage, compassion, honor, tolerance and sacrifice that characterize the Albanian code of honor, is in fact the o Rigine values \u200b\u200bcharacteristic of the history of all Albanians. 'Besa' it is rooted the code of conduct that the Albanian Kanun , a set of rules that have been codified p er the first time since Prince Leke Dukagjini, around the end of the fifteenth century. Dukagjini was a friend and fight the great Albanian hero Gjergij Kastrioti said ' Skanderberg ' [in Italian known as George Castriota Scanderberg ] che combattè fieramente fino al 1468 per difendere l'Albania e l'Europa dall'invasione dei Turchi Ottomani" .

Mandiamoli home!

Dal sito Vibrisse di Giulio Mozzi, un documento ideato da Andrea Civati con la collaborazione di Giuseppe Civati, Ilda Curti, Ernesto Ruffini, Roberto Tricarico. "Mandiamoli a casa!" è un repertorio di luoghi comuni, stereotipi, pregiudizi e credenze varie sull'immigrazione in Italia, puntualmente smontati in base a dati oggettivi tratti da fonti istituzionali (Istat, Censis, Banca d'Italia, Ministeri, Assessorati, ecc.). Certo, non è facile dismantle beliefs and mental constructs "rigid" as ethnic prejudice and tables with data, because such beliefs are notoriously impervious to rational argument. However, the information reported is useful to anyone wishing to know more exactly how things are about foreigners in Italy. I will mention a few, for inspiring reading PDF:
- foreigners in Italy are less than five million and is the largest community Romanian (Europeans) and then mostly Christian, and non-Muslims;
- most of illegal immigrants are Asians but not Africans, immigrants are not born but becomes;
- contrary to popular belief in many Islamic countries are Catholic churches. The only country that has explicitly prohibited the building of churches is Saudi Arabia;
- 72% of foreign workers held low-skilled and manual jobs and only 27% work in areas most qualified, while only among the Italians 37% perform manual work;
- you can not establish a causal link between increased crime and migration: the strong presence of immigrants in prisons is also due to the non-application of alternative measures.
There are many other useful things, but I'll leave the reading of those concerned.

Palatal Expander Put In

comes to pollution



a chain of fast-food restaurants (the largest) continues to administer to rain gadgets of all kinds, material and color. Today I received a round plastic tool weighing 40 grams. It also contains metal parts (it should be a compass). The children, who turned the "game", they use it for no more than 30 secondi. Poi è lasciato lì o buttato. Mi chiedo: non è anche questo inquinamento (per di più inutile e gratuito) per le nostre future generazioni? E tutto questo per vendere un hamburger? Non sarebbe più etico far raccogliere dei punti per adottare a distanza o far studiare qualche "disgraziato vero" (non i nostri mollicci e grassi infanti e relativi genitori?). Tutt'al più la nota catena potrebbe fornire buoni x 1/10 di ora di una colf o 1/20 di un'ora di inglese. Insomma di tutta questa paccottiglia di plastica inutile la nostra vita potrebbe anche farne a meno! Che ne pensate? Dite la vostra (qualche volta).

Blacks Out, a day without immigrants

One day it will happen.
happen sooner or later, as in fantaromanzo Vladimir Polchi .
Yards stops, factories closed, markets empty. Workers, laborers, binders, regular or black, have had enough.
Old men complain that the Russian or Ukrainian caregivers on strike, they said enough, too.
deliveries not made by courier or non-truckers, fed up with exhausting shifts to deliver goods ordered via the Internet and various packages.
Masses celebrated by priests of Latin American origin. Players
football, basketball, rugby who refuse to take the field, fed up with racist chanting. And maybe even the children and young Italian with the skin of another color, who speak three languages \u200b\u200band know in an even imperfect Italian, language is not easy to learn even for natives, and will do some special classes, because they slow the program.
Fed, everyone, to be told that a "weight", a "problem", a "risk", an "insecurity," which "do not respect the rules," that "do not respect our values," or simply, they are "too many" and should "go back where they came from."
Meletti Jenner speaks today on the Republic, here. The eternal war against each other, the other as risk, threat, fear. But the other that allows individuals unable to assert their anger better and make it productive for a change of this that makes them angry and resentful, perhaps because they are not treated as citizens but subjects from institutions at large, or merely gears in the mechanism of production.
What happened in these days in Rosario is a very strong warning signal, not only the tensions that are exploding between Italians and immigrants, but also a degradation that threatens, through the humiliation of those dispossessed, who is also "to the" illusion that both he not be touched.

Mens Girdle From Sears

Something Burning

Venice, the night of January 3, 2010, near the Basilica dei Frari, the court Badoer.
Marino, a man of 61 years homeless , living on odd jobs and at night sleeps in a bed of cardboard in this court, has an argument with a group or even a "gang" of boys and girls, perhaps devoted to petty crime. On his bed is on fire. Marino is able to extinguish the flames by himself and remains unharmed. He could have been worse, like the tramp of Rimini which could be burned alive because of the flames appicategli while sleeping on a bench in the night between 10 and 11 November 2008. In that case, it is something that burns to know that the authors were not fools, but four young "normal", a bartender (20 years), student (20 years), an electrician (19 years) and a chemical expert (19 years) : authors of the act "out of boredom," as in the stories of throwing objects from overpasses on highways . "You should see the homeless in the fire ... I threw gasoline on him all I had. He said nothing, slept. "
Burning poor who can not defend themselves has become a very popular sport in Italy. Many seek diagnosis, interpretations, launch alarms, damage assessments and judgments.
The politician: "It 'a very serious episode, which should give us pause and forces us to reflect seriously on the climate is also being developed in Venice."
The police officer: "We have to do with the kids to prove something to their peers come to the limit making shameful acts. "
The sociologist:" This act is the result of a culture of hatred that identifies different in the outcast, an enemy to be denigrating to insult and mortification. "
The priest:" They're idiots " .
Cardinal: "Behind this gesture is meaningless boredom in which many of our children."
The closest: "Marino, why not react?"
Marino: "If I rebel do worse." l Burn
'idea of \u200b\u200btolerance, Walk the idea that boys and girls aged 16-17 can hate so much groped to set fire to a person who had done them no harm.
Burn youth (indeed, late adolescence) in anger, resentment, nella rabbia verso chi ormai viene visto come non-persona solo perché dorme su una panchina, avvolto da cartoni, "diverso" perché non condivide stili di vita, modi di essere, strutture di relazione. Come ha scritto C. Donolo in un'interessante analisi sullo stato della società italiana , "il nemico immaginario serve da regolatore morale: se non ci fosse andrebbe tutto bene", "il capro espiatorio è la soluzione facile e a sua volta è l'indice di una sindrome sociopatologica, in cui non ci si prende la responsabilità di nulla" ("non pensavamo di fare niente di male", "volevamo solo divertirci", dissero i giovani di Rimini che diedero fuoco al clochard addormentato su una panchina). Forse il barbone is not even perceived as an enemy, but is hated because it is someone who does not comply, that it stands alone, in a way self-sufficient and independent, despite the involvement of social workers. Who is strong and nell'intruppamento only in the group, who lives in a kind of camaraderie in a continuous cycle, can not conceive that there are people who want to be alone and lonely in this are reasons to go forward in a life that gave them much satisfaction. In a society of total functional connection, where everyone depends on others, the dependency becomes a pathological syndrome and who is not, who is not in compliance or not in conformity comes to be perceived as a threat, a risk be exorcised with purifying flames. In this regard Donolo spoke of a "defection" that characterizes the Italian company, "the defectors did not observe the rules, knows only use them to their advantage, especially if this advantage is married to harm others, the defectors not only violates the rules but does not know of other docks that are consistent and compatible. " Illiteracy is merged with social rules and both Galimberti with what's called "emotional illiteracy" and then it is evident that the only emotion that breaks down the desert way in which some children (but not limited to) feel it is immersed set fire to a Roma camp rather than a bum, the only rules that apply are those in the group of equal, which is the only truly social dimension known and experienced as the company with the capital "S" or does not exist, how they wanted the neoliberals, or coincides with the market and the market there is human solidarity, tolerance, ability to interact with the different, but just do ut des, equivalence, convenience, calculation. Thus, "to the social dimension" that we shared was, he observes Galimberti disturbing the guest, and that in the past you could express in religion, politics or in the school today, "we have only that part or that primitive waste which is the band . Only with friends of the band today many of our young people have the impression you can really say "we", and extending the term in those practices that bullying increasingly characterize their behavior in school. The background is that of violence against the weakest and most vulnerable when they are found not in school, you go to look for them in the courts, in the fields of Roma, on benches, wherever that is observable is a life not in compliance, non-identical not comparable to the mechanisms that have nurtured the reified mind since childhood, mainly by virtue of a television and socialization of a contracted relationship with the adult world (the "terms of learning" in school, the rules negotiated between parents and children. ..), in which the relationship to another has become a do tat in which, as already Ibsen wrote A Doll's House in , it "loses its freedom and beauty" is parched and above the intersubjective relationship as a source of affection, hope, trust, switching off the ability to generate stable personality, capable to follow up and give a rule. In the burning must not go up in smoke only in the hope that more young people can find the resources to stop the madness of these fires.
