– The difference between the missiles launched in April byIran towards Israel and yesterday’s rain of rockets is all in the information that Tehran gave (or did not give) to United States. Or rather: the timing. In April it was a sort of media show: the Ayatollah warned the USA, which coordinated the response to the historic (never before) missile attack with Israel and Jordan. This time it went differently: Iran acted more or less by surprise, or rather with minimal warning. Which certainly shows that he can act quickly and silently; However, the results were not very different: only one death, a Palestinian one, and little damage to Israel. It is difficult to say whether the Iranians failed, but yesterday we certainly discovered that Israel and the US are capable of defending the territory more than Iran is capable of attacking it.
– Every time I see those rockets get shot and the response of Iron DomesI think: but with all the engines that the missiles use, the response jets and the various explosions in the sky, are we really hanging ourselves to reduce the emissions of our petrol cars while they shoot bombs into the sky as if they were peanuts?
– Great chaos on the railway line. Fratoianni: “When Salvini was there the trains didn’t leave on time”. At least he’s nice.
– Antonio Guterres does not mention Iran and its missiles in the “escalation” in the Middle East and Israel, rightly, is furious. From today the UN secretary general is “persona non grata” in the Tel Aviv area. To tell the truth, it is surprising that the useless, and somewhat biased, secretary of the United Nations had not already been banned by Israel in the past.
– Let’s go back to the inconveniences on the railway line. It seems that the fault was a nail badly planted by a contractor during the night’s work. Can it happen? Certain. Everyone makes mistakes, even politicians (and often). What is surprising, if anything, is that half of Italy is paralyzed in the face of a similar inconvenience. And this is not the fault of those who work on the network.
– Victor Feltswho doesn’t believe in God and I don’t even believe in the Church, makes no concessions on abortion even though he admits that he once thought about it for his daughter. “I was against it, but I understood that it would be difficult for the mother to continue working. I made the appointment in Switzerland. Then I refused because abortion is an unpunishable infanticide. No free choice: “Abortion is not a right, it is a cynical concession by the State.” Three, two, one… feminists unleash.
– Hear ye: after the dissolution of Maneskinwhich is more worrying than glaciers, Damian David he starts again as a soloist from Fabio Fazio’s living room, the best way to be liked by those he likes. We can’t wait anymore.
– After the investigation into the ultras of Inter And Milanwhich are only the latest installment of a system that comes from afar and that more or less everyone knew, must be acknowledged Claudio Lotito of having had – 20 years ago – the courage to cut this crazy umbilical cord between clubs and organized supporters. “I have responded hard-nosed since 2004. No season tickets and free tickets, enough with the away games paid for by Lazio”; “Between consent and legality, I chose legality, with the resulting consequences for my personal safety and that of my family.” Chapeau.
– Then a wonderful story, one of those that can only happen in Rome. “I still remember – he says Lotito – when I met four Lazio fans. It’s all in the investigators’ documents, I met them in Piazza Cavour, in front of the Adriano cinema. Four people showed up and one of them, rest his soul, was Diabolik. Piscitelli introduced himself and said to me ‘principal, good evening, I am Diabolik’. I looked at him and replied ‘good evening, Inspector Ginko’”. Magical.
– Two reflections on the ban, imposed by the Interior Ministry, on the demonstrations of October 5th Pro-Pal which, in large part, intend to praise the massacre carried out by Hamas as well as legitimately defend the demands of the Palestinians in Gaza. The first concerns the principle: Minister Piantedosi believes that “celebrating the date of 7 October as an exaltation of a massacre” is horrible and therefore “it is not possible to let it happen”. I disagree, for a simple reason: when the public authority starts deciding what is right and what is wrong to celebrate, we are already taking the road of no return. A democracy is fully healthy when it ignores certain regurgitations and manages them with ideas, rather than with prohibitions. Another matter concerns the operational question. The Interior Ministry is responsible for managing public order and certainly large demonstrations in Rome by enthusiastic pro-Pal people will be difficult to contain: I could therefore understand the decision to say no. But are we sure that not giving authorization solves the problem and does not end up making it worse, bringing more and more furious demonstrators to Rome than would otherwise have converged?
– The very personal opinion of the writer is: authorize everything, but only in compliance with the rules. Which means: the procession passes only where permitted by the police, no to various defacements, firecrackers, Molotov cocktails and various rubbish. And whoever tries to force a blockade gets beaten by the officers and doesn’t go to his mother to whine. Clear?
– Well, maybe instead I would worry about the Islamic center that organizes prayer vigils for Hassan Nasrallahpassed off as a martyr when he was a terrorist. Let’s be clear: do you want to pray for Hitler, Mussolini or Nasrallah? Do your best. We have the freedom to criticize and, above all, to turn on a beacon from the Digos or the Internal Services to ensure that a vigil does not turn into a gathering of terrorists.
– Distracted as we are by Nasrallah, Iran, Hezbollah and pagers, we remember that a year after October 7 Do Hamas terrorists still have civilian hostages (dead or alive) held in bunkers in Gaza?
– Iran or not Iran, Israel or not Israel, reigns supreme on TV and on social trends Temptetion Island. The power of the remote control is unquestionable. Curtain.
– That the prime minister Barnier in France has announced a capital is news, but I wouldn’t tear my clothes. All in all, if they apply the tax in Paris and not in Rome, what do we care?
– In the Milanese area acar electric explodes “out of nowhere” in a citizen’s garage.
Apparently he wasn’t in charge and hadn’t caused any problems until now. It can happen: even petrol cars have their problems. But the fact that it goes into automatic combustion without the intervention of an external agent, well: this is impressive.
