Sembrava, pur tra mille ostacoli, che il processo di pace in Medio Oriente stesse avviandosi sulla buona strada. Grazie a persone coraggiose, prima tra tutte il primo ministro israeliano Sharon, che aveva messo da Part years of intransigent positions to envisage a brighter future for your country. And thanks to the new Palestinian leadership, headed by the President Abu Mazen, for the first time in years it appeared in the presence of Israel as a serious partner, decided to challenge in a surly anti-Zionist fanatics that are springing up from parts of Jerusalem. It seemed, despite the many funerals, the tears of mothers, the children martyrs in the name of madness, which intravedesse the banner at the end of the race. A banner yet far enough to read the word goal, but close enough to be able to distinguish the contours. A banner of a race with many stages, which had become a butcher open this piece of land, a crossroads of three great monotheistic religions and strategic landing point of the entire Mediterranean region. It seemed, despite almost insurmountable difficulties, that the way the two states for two peoples had finally prevailed and we could give over to a new historical phase. After years in which the right of the State of Israel was constantly denied by the Palestinian leadership, perhaps too little attention to the real needs of their people. seemed yesterday ... but the unexpected happened ... perhaps unexpected ...
Hamas won the Palestinian elections, putting at risk the peace process with Israel. It will be said that is what he wanted the Palestinian people and must therefore be respected to the end.
But is this true? Palestinians do not truly want a better future for what promises to them now? And Hamas will give it to him? How? Wielding the sword of Islam and stressing the need for the destruction of Israel? How do I start not bad, given that one of the leaders of Hamas, Mahmoud Zahar, has just made statements to this effect.
And this leadership and this government must necessarily be recognized by the international community? The EU has placed Hamas in its list of terrorist organizations. Acting on them, refusing to recognize this government. Do not make the first move, giving legitimacy to Hamas will, in the hope that they can then change the tenor of the statements and the resulting political action. Not to grant recognition. At least until such time as they laid down their arms (Hamas is an armed party, incredible to say in a land that has free elections to give himself the appearance of democracy ...) and will not be recognized Israel's right to exist. Pace of Solon, abundant in Europe and Italy, which tore their clothes to seek recognition of the Palestinian government.
Then maybe things will change ...
