  • Parole in Conflitto
    PAROLE IN CONFLITTO 20 anni di narrazione del conflitto israelo- palestinese sui quotidiani italiani Introduzione Il conflitto israelo-palestinese è, sin dal suo scoppio, uno dei temi più trattati dai media occidentali; con una cadenza costante, che diventa quotidiana durante le frequenti fasi di crisi, Palestina e Israele entrano nelle nostre vite attraverso le immagini trasmesse dalla televisione, le analisi radiofoniche, i lunghi articoli stampati sui giornali. Questo estremo interesse nei confronti di questo specifico conflitto è dovuto a diversi fattori, in primis, la sua durata: a 68 anni dal suo inizio, che si usa far corrispondere al 1948, anno del riconoscimento dello Stato di Israele, benché l’incipit del processo possa essere fatto risalire alla fine dell’800, esso può essere considerato il più lungo della storia contemporanea. L’importanza geopolitica dell’area mediorientale, della quale Palestina e Israele fanno parte, ha rivestito durante il ‘900 e riveste tutt’ora un ruolo fondamentale nello scacchiere economico mondiale per la presenza di risorse petrolifere e gas naturali, responsabili dell’instabilità dell’intera area a causa del tentativo di influenza su di essi da parte delle potenze mondiali. Si aggiungano a questi altri fattori: religiosi, dovuti al forte legame tra questo piccolo territorio (27,000 km2) e il cristianesimo; culturali, legati a migliaia di anni di contatti nel bacino mediterraneo; etnici, in quanto gli israeliani vengono percepiti dal pubblico come europei bianchi, per i quali viene sentita un’empatia da parte occidentale, che va a sommarsi alla paura del “diverso”, in particolare se “arabo”, acuitasi dopo il crollo delle Torri Gemelle del 2001.

  • Honor Killings" Triggers Palestinian Calls for Cultural Changes, New Laws
    Bulletin – July 1, 2012 PA: Israel spreads drugs to destroy Palestinian society by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik One day after Iranian Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi was condemned internationally for saying that Jews and their Talmud are responsible for international drug trafficking, no less than five articles in the official PA daily cited different Palestinian Authority officials accusing Israel of having a policy to disseminate drugs among Palestinian youth. The Governor of Jericho said that Israel "is encouraging and turning a blind eye to [drug] dealers and their efforts to distribute drugs, through a systematic policy to destroy Palestinian society, targeting the youth." The District Governor of Jenin said Israel "seeks to harm the Palestinian people and to destroy it and its national enterprise [through drugs] as a continuation of its Zionist enterprise." The District Governor of Ramallah spoke about the drug problem, mentioning Israel's "efforts to humiliate our youth, to break their willpower, and to distance them from their [Palestinian] cause and their principles, by spreading drugs among them" and emphasized that "the occupation does not hesitate to exercise all forms of control over our youth, using dirty and inhuman methods." This is not the first time that Israel has been accused by the PA of intentionally spreading drugs. Advisor to Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has claimed that Israel "spreads prostitution and drugs" among Arab residents of Jerusalem. [PA TV (Fatah), June 23, 2010] The PA has also accused Israel of spreading AIDS among Palestinians: Similarly, at a seminar about drugs organized by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the head of the Palestinian Authority's drug fighting agency said: "This plague [AIDS] is a political problem which is nurtured by Israel." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, June 24, 2010] The official PA daily reported that a Health Ministry official blamed Israel for the spread of AIDS among Palestinians: "Director of Public Health in the Health Ministry, Dr.
