Siddhartha Gautama, Buddhasaid: “Three things cannot be hidden for long: the sun, the moon and the truth.” Unfortunately however, and I add this, the latter, especially when it concerns Israel and Jews in general, is almost never heard.
However, this does not mean that it should not be said, indeed, on the contrary, it must be well specified so that some document remains for historical memory. The hope, after all we live on hope, is that the future can be inhabited by populations that do not allow the vulgate, the propaganda and half-truthswhich are half lies, to become sacred and inviolable. The hope, after all we live on hope, is that the future can be inhabited by populations that do not allow it brainwashed by politics and thesick information, there are so many examples that I can list them everyone is objectively impossible.
Hope, after all we live on hope, is that those who sit in important places, I am referring above all to politicians, know the basic rules of diplomacy, think with their brains and not with their guts and put truth before ideology. Because, however you think, the truth is sacred, while ideology halways many points of shadowtoo many. The news that bounced around all the newspapers and TV news was that a tank Israeli fired at UNIFIL troops in Lebanon and that two peacekeepers were slightly injured. Calm down, let’s put things in order, otherwise we won’t understand anything inside this tom-tom, which is exactly what many want. There are many details to highlight so it is better to be as concise as possible.
UNIFIL is made up of soldiers from vdear countries who answer to the United Nations, to put it simply, are soldiers that some armies lend to the UN in order to enforce the resolutions of the Security Council in difficult areas of the world. Therefore UNIFIL responds to UN directives and is under the responsibility of the Glass Palace regardless of the nationality of the soldiers involved. Furthermore, it must be underlined, Spain is currently in command and the two slightly wounded soldiers are Indonesian. Therefore, at least as far as we know at the moment, there are no Italians injured.
As soon as these few words were typed it immediately seemed, Maximus Decimus Meridio docet, that all hell had broken loose with the minister Guido Crosetto who, like Orlando Furioso, summoned the Israeli ambassador for consultations, responded to journalists and made accusations of crimes against humanity on television. The minister of Defence Crosetto should know that there are rules in diplomacy that must be respected even in the most difficult moments, especially in the most difficult moments, and these rules provide that out of diplomatic courtesy an ambassador is summoned by the Foreign Minister, only in truly exceptional cases by the Presidency of the Council . This second case is extremely rare.
Second mistake is that currently the position of ambassador of the State of Israel in Italy is vacant, the old ambassador is no longer accredited and the new one has yet to present his credentials to the President of the Republic. Therefore the summons would be due to the currently acting Consul General. If Crosetto had been the Foreign Minister he would have been aware of this not insignificant detail.
Let’s get to the fact and how it happened. TO being hit was not directly a U baseNIFIL manned by Italian soldiers, but a turret, a lookout point on which four tilting cameras had been mounted. It is necessary to underline that until the command was in the hands of the Italians the contacts between the IDF and UNIFIL were continuous, but since the handover in favor of the Spanish all this has been reduced to the minimum wage , indeed, below the minimum wage. In what is an open war zone, the Israeli army command had contacted in the last twelve hours, and four times, the U command linesNIFIL requesting removal of those cameras because the area close to the interior of the area is manned by Hezbollah terrorists and there were no sufficient guarantees to exclude possible connections to the images taken by the turret.
Hacking of cameras is relatively simple and those mounted on the UNIFIL turret they could have givenand they certainly gave it otherwise there would not have been an Israeli reaction, information to Hetzbollah terrorists on troop movements IDF who are advancing into Lebanon in search of weapons and missile launchers that have been tormenting the cities of northern Israel for more than a year. Four times the request fell on deaf ears. A UNIFIL spokesperson told thethe press that the multinational force has rejected the Israeli request to evacuate the positions along the border between Israel and Lebanon.
“We are there because the Security Council asked us to be there. So we will stay until the situation becomes impossible for us to operate,” he toldlla Reuters the UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti. It must be remembered that l‘UNIFIL was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon after the end of the 1978 conflict and that The UN has expanded this mission with resolution 1701 which followed to the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. This allowed to the peacekeepers to deploy along the Israeli border to help the Lebanese army extend its authority into the south of the country for the first time in decades. Resolution 1701 calls for southern Lebanon to be free from armed groups other than the Lebanese Armed Forces.
Therefore what he said tolla Reuters the UNIFIL spokesperson it is true only in principle, because in fact UNIFIL, i.e. the UN, has done nothing in twenty years to prevent the armed presence of terrorists, consequently it has not respected its mandate and the thousands of Iranian-made missiles launched by Hetzbollah towards Israel are clear proof of the uselessness of their presence on site, a uselessness that in several cases has bordered on damage and international disgrace. In the last 20 years UNIFIL has not seen terrorists roaming armed in areas where they should not have been and has done nothing to remove them, UNIFIL has not seen the arrival from Iran of thousands of missiles that ended up in the hands of Hetzbollah and feigned surprise when those same missiles began flying towards northern Israel.
Now, frankly, UNIFIL never did its jobnever enforced the mandate, for 20 years she was three monkeys in one, she didn’t see, she didn’t hear and, above all, she never spoke about the situations that unfolded before the closed eyes of international observers and then, magically, he regains his sight and just as there is a war going on he mounts cameras to see well, then they have eyes, on the Israeli side. He refuses to remove them and when they are removed by force, after four warnings in twelve hours, he also finds the word to protest against Israel when absolute silence has reigned for Hetzbollah in twenty years.
In short, Israel has managed to help the blind and mute regain their sight and speech, it is truly true that we live in the land of miracles.
