Gli almeno 4 mila morti italiani di Cefalonia non possono riposare in pace. Non ancora, almeno. Restano sette fantasmi. Sette vecchi. Sopravvissuti ai loro orrori di soldati del Reich. Tenente Max Kurz, comandante della 14esima compagnia del 98esimo reggimento alpino. Sottotenente Ottmar Muhlhauser, aiutante di campo della 15esima compagnia comando 98esimo reggimento alpino. Capitano Alfred Schroppel, comandante della prima compagnia 54esimo battaglione alpino. Tenente Helmut Vogtle, comandante della quinta compagnia comando 54esimo battaglione alpino. Sottotenente Karl Weisbacher, comandante di plotone nella prima compagnia 54esimo battaglione alpino. Sottotenente Anton Wimmer, 98esimo reggimento alpino. Tenente Fritz Thoma, comandante della settima batteria 79esimo reggimento artiglieria da montagna. Prosciolti nel marzo di quest&#039;anno a Dortmund dal procuratore federale tedesco Ulrich Maas, conosceranno in Italia una nuova istruttoria. Forse, un nuovo processo. Il procuratore militare di Roma, Antonino Intelisano, li ha iscritti al registro degli indagati per omicidio plurimo aggravato, ritenendo di poter dimostrare, al contrario della magistratura tedesca, che la mattanza di Cefalonia non può conoscere prescrizione. [ Fonte: &lt;em&gt;Corriere della Sera&lt;/em&gt; ]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ecco sbrighiamoci a chiuderli &#039;sti conti. Diamogli l&#039;ergastolo. Ma chiudiamo con questo passato che ha giustificato sin troppo un presente sul quale poter avere il diritto di parlare.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/uploads/gentile2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oggi ricorre l&#039;anniversario della morte di Giovanni Gentile, uomo di pensiero assassinato per la coerenza ai suoi ideali e per il suo impegno per la riconciliazione degli italiani, durante la guerra civile. Ha affermato l&#039;indipendenza di pensiero considerato come atto supremo, il primato e l&#039;autonomia del pensiero italiano, criticando quanto in esso credeva immissione eterogenea e deviante... già questo bastava a decretarne la morte, e la damnatio memoriae, da parte di chi crede ad un uomo ridotto a massa informe, spersonalizzato, senza storia e senza patria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr width=&quot;100%&quot; size=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;justify&quot; /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Giovanni Gentile nasce il 29 maggio 1875 a Castelvetrano (Trapani) da Giovanni, farmacista, e Teresa Curti, figlia di un notaio. Dopo aver compiuto gli studi in Sicilia, vince nel 1895 il concorso a interno della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, per la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia. A Pisa ha, tra i suoi maestri, A. D&#039;Ancona per la Letteratura italiana, A. Crivellucci per la Storia moderna, D. Jaja per Filosofia teoretica. Nel 1895 scrive il saggio, pubblicato l&#039;anno dopo, Delle commedie di Antonfrancesco Grazzini detto il Lasca. Nel 1897 si laurea in filosofia con una tesi Rosmini e Gioberti che è pubblicata nel1898. Professore di Filosofia nel Liceo Classico &amp;quot;Mario Pagano&amp;quot; di Campobasso, pubblica nel 1899 La filosofia di Marx e nel 1900 L&#039;insegnamento della filosofia nei licei. Dal 1° novembre 1900 professore di Filosofia al Liceo classico &amp;quot;Vittorio Emanuele&amp;quot; di Napoli. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nel 1901 sposa Erminia Nudi che aveva conosciuto a Campobasso. Nel 1902 nasce la figlia Teresa e ottiene la Libera docenza in Filosofia teoretica. Nel 1903 consegue la Libera docenza in Pedagogia, pubblica Dal Genovesi al Galluppi, fonda, con Benedetto Croce, la rivista  «La Critica». I due amici si propongono un rinnovamento della cultura filosofica e letteraria italiana.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nel 1904 nasce il figlio Federico e pubblica La filosofia (poi Storia della filosofia italiana) e Studi sullo stoicismo romano. Inoltre va pubblicando le opere di Bertrando Spaventa. Nel 1905, presso l&#039;editore Laterza di Bari, Gentile e Croce fondano la collana &amp;quot;Classici della filosofia moderna&amp;quot;. Nel 1906  Gentile vince la cattedra di Storia della filosofia nell&#039;Università di Palermo. Nello stesso anno nascono i gemelli Gaetano e Giovanni, nel  1908 Benedetto, nel 1910 Fortunato.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Il periodo dell&#039;insegnamento palermitano è molto fecondo. Gentile crea una sua scuola filosofica (Vito Fazio-Allmayer, Giuseppe Saitta, Adolfo Omodeo, G. Maggiore ecc). Soprattutto elabora una sua filosofia: l&#039;attualismo, la quale, in quanto radicale monismo, non convince l&#039;amico Benedetto Croce, sostenitore di una filosofia dei distinti. Oltre a Scuola e filosofia (1908), Bernardino Telesio (1911), I problemi della scolastica (1913), Gentile pubblica due opere teoreticamente molto rilevanti. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;La prima è La riforma della dialettica hegeliana (1913) in cui critica la distinzione hegeliana tra logica, filosofia della natura e filosofia dello spirito e riduce tutta la realtà al pensiero in atto.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;La seconda è il Sommario di pedagogia come scienza filosofica (2 volumi, 1913-14), ove non solo si trova una prima sistemazione organica dell&#039;attualismo, ma è teorizzata l&#039;identificazione tra filosofia e pedagogia, in quanto ambedue conoscenza e formazione dell&#039;uomo, con  conseguenti numerose e interessanti innovazioni didattiche.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nell&#039;autunno del 1914 Gentile si trasferisce a Pisa, sulla cattedra di Filosofia teoretica. Nel 1916 pubblica Teoria generale dello spirito come atto puro, in cui esprime in maniera organica la sua concezione della filosofia, e I Fondamenti della filosofia del diritto. Nei giorni incerti della non belligeranza, Gentile si schiera a favore del conflitto concependo la guerra come conclusione dell&#039;epopea risorgimentale. Il disastro di Caporetto è dal filosofo imputato anche alle debolezze di una scuola che non ha saputo formare una coscienza nazionale. Il problema educativo e civile acquista così una notevole importanza per Gentile.  Gli scritti sui giornali, pubblicati durante il periodo bellico sono raccolti in Guerra e fede (1919) e Dopo la Vittoria (1920).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nel 1917 si trasferisce a Roma, occupando la cattedra di Storia della filosofia. Nello stesso anno pubblica il primo volume del Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere (il secondo volume apparirà nel 1923), che è una delle opere fondamentali. Tra le altre opere del periodo, Le origini della filosofia contemporanea in Italia (1917-23), Il tramonto della cultura siciliana (1919) , Discorsi di religione (1920), La riforma dell&#039;educazione (1920), Giordano Bruno e il pensiero del Rinascimento (1920), Frammenti di estetica e letteratura (1921), Educazione e scuola laica (1921), Il modernismo e i rapporti tra religione e filosofia (1921), Gino Capponi e la cultura toscana nel secolo decimonono (1922). Nel 1920 fonda una sua rivista, il «Giornale Critico della Filosofia Italiana». Gentile, che ha attorno a sé giovani studiosi di valore, Ugo Spirito, Arnaldo Volpicelli, Carmelov Licitra ecc., si impegna, inoltre, fortemente, con la collaborazione dell&#039;amico e discepolo Giuseppe Lombardo-Radice, ad una revisione del sistema scolastico, considerato ormai spiritualmente e strutturalmente obsoleto.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;A fine ottobre del 1922 è nominato, con Decreto 31 ottobre, ministro della Pubblica Istruzione nel primo governo Mussolini. Il 5 novembre 1922 è nominato senatore. Nel 1923 Gentile realizza la più organica  riforma, dopo la legge Casati, della scuola italiana, a cui conferisce un chiaro impianto innovativo sia dal punto di vista didattico sia da quello scientifico. Significativa è l&#039;introduzione dell&#039;insegnamento della religione cattolica nelle scuole elementari come necessario per la formazione della coscienza morale nel fanciullo. Il 31 maggio aderisce al partito fascista, inteso come l&#039;esito del liberalismo  risorgimentale. Il 14 giugno del 1924 Gentile rassegna le sue dimissioni da ministro della Pubblica Istruzione, ratificate il 1° luglio.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;L&#039;impegno successivo è volto, da un punto di vista speculativo, ad una maggiore puntualizzazione dell&#039;attualismo, ma soprattutto aumenta il suo coinvolgimento nella politica. Nel 1925 redige il &amp;quot;Manifesto degli intellettuali italiani fascisti agli intellettuali di tutte le nazioni&amp;quot;. Il Manifesto segna la definitiva rottura con Benedetto Croce, schieratosi ormai in posizione antifascista. In realtà Gentile, diventato l&#039;esponente intellettualmente più prestigioso del nuovo regime, intende dare al fascismo una chiara connotazione etica in senso hegeliano. L&#039;obiettivo è permeare il fascismo della filosofia attualista. Al tempo stesso Gentile, che può contare sulla disponibilità personale di Mussolini, si fa promotore di una serie di iniziative culturali di grande valore con l&#039;intento di continuare a formare, fuori della scuola, la coscienza nazionale italiana.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nel 1924 Gentile è presidente della &amp;quot;Commissione dei Quindici&amp;quot; (nel 1925 &amp;quot;Commissione dei Diciotto&amp;quot;) per la riforma costituzionale. Il 18 febbraio1925 si costituisce l&#039; «Istituto Giovanni Treccani» per la pubblicazione dell&#039;Enciclopedia Italiana. Gentile ne è il direttore scientifico e chiama a collaborare i maggiori studiosi del tempo. Sempre nel 1925 promuove la nascita dell&#039; Istituto Nazionale Fascista di Cultura di cui diventa il Presidente.  Nel 1926 passa all&#039;insegnamento di  Filosofia teoretica. Dal 1928 è Regio Commissario della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. E&#039; probabilmente il momento più alto della fortuna di Gentile che pubblica, tra l&#039;altro, Studi sul Rinascimento (1923), I profeti del Risorgimento italiano (1923), Bertrando Spaventa (1924), La nuova scuola media (1925), Che cos&#039;è il fascismo (1925), Frammenti di storia della filosofia (1926), Manzoni e Leopardi (1928), Fascismo e cultura (1928), Origini e dottrina del fascismo (1929).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;I Patti Lateranensi del 1929, osteggiati da Gentile per il timore della crisi della sua concezione dello Stato etico, segnano una svolta nell&#039;impegno politico militante. Tuttavia il filosofo continua a svolgere un ruolo culturale di primo piano. Dal1930 è vicepresidente dell&#039;Università Bocconi; dal 1932 è direttore della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Nello stesso anno è nominato Socio Nazionale della Reale Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, della quale era Socio Corrispondente dal 1922. Nel1932 inaugura l&#039;Istituto Nazionale di Studi Germanici, di cui diviene presidente nel 1934; Nel 1933 inaugura l&#039;Istituto  Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente, di cui è presidente, nel 1934 inaugura a Genova l&#039;Istituto mazziniano. Tra i volumi di tale periodo: La filosofia dell&#039;arte (1931), La riforma della scuola in Italia (1932), Introduzione alla filosofia (1933).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Nel 1934 il Sant&#039;Uffizio mette all&#039;Indice le opere di Gentile e di Croce. Del 1936 è una dura polemica con Cesare Maria De Vecchi, ministro dell&#039;Educazione Nazionale. Nel 1937  dà le dimissioni da presidente dell&#039;Istituto Nazionale di Cultura Fascista (così la nuova denominazione). E&#039; ormai fuori dagli impegni politici. Nel 1937 è Regio Commissario e dal 1938 presidente del Centro Nazionale di Studi Manzoniani e nel 1941 è presidente della Domus Galileana a Pisa, da lui voluta. Nel 1942 muore il figlio Giovanni jr., professore ordinario di  Fisica teorica a Milano. Del 1943 sono due discorsi che suscitano notevole dibattito. Il primo è la conferenza (9 febbraio) La mia religione, tenuta a Firenze. Gentile si dichiara cristiano e cattolico, sia pure a suo modo. Il 24 giugno in Campidoglio, a Roma, tiene il Discorso agli Italiani dove, in un momento difficile della  guerra, esorta all&#039;unità nazionale. Lasciate le numerose cariche, si ritira nell&#039;estate a Troghi, dove scrive l&#039;ultima grande opera,  Genesi e struttura della società, che apparirà postuma (1946). Su invito personale di Mussolini, ritenendo di non poter rinnegare il proprio passato, nel novembre 1943 aderisce alla Repubblica di Salò, divenendo presidente dell&#039;Accademia d&#039;Italia e si impegna a ricostituire la disciolta Accademia dei Lincei. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;I suoi ultimi interventi sono rivolti ad una difficile conciliazione nazionale in un&#039;Italia ormai divisa in due. Il 15 aprile 1944 è assassinato a Firenze da un gruppo partigiano. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot; face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;http://www.giovannigentile.it/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

L’ultimo degli “amichetti” ingrati a mollarlo è Sua Reverenza Desmond Tutu.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Queste le parole di fuoco del vegliardo prelato, sintetizzate dalle agenzie stampa: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;”…Desmond Tutu se l&#039;é presa invece con i leader africani, che dovrebbero &amp;quot;vergognarsi per la loro inerzia &lt;/i&gt;(nei riguardi di Mugame)&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;, ha detto. &amp;quot;Alcuni leader africani hanno parlato di sovranità &lt;/i&gt;(dello Zimbabwe)&lt;i&gt;, ma noi dobbiamo sostenere il contrario&amp;quot;, ha aggiunto l&#039;ex arcivescovo di Città del Capo…”.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Fonte &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swissinfo.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;www.swissinfo.org&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Il “caro” Desmond dovrebbe però ricordarsi, visto il suo ruolo religioso non proprio di secondo piano, di quel detto cristiano:”…non cercare la pagliuzza nell’occhio del fratello; poi che potresti avere una grossa trave nel tuo..”. Infatti il Sud Africa non è certo un bell’esempio di democrazia matura o di sviluppo economico. Risaputa è la crisi strutturale dello Stato africano,provocata dal “modello Mandela” di spartizione del potere, andato in appannaggio all’etnia di Mandela, gli Xhosa; non che della totale anarchia sociale e decadenza economica, che ha trasformato l’unica nazione africana sviluppata, in uno dei tanti angoli di disperazione del continente nero.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Consigliamo quindi al focoso prelato di pensare un po’ di più ai casi suoi, senza andare a pontificare su quante pagliuzze abbia nell’occhio Mugame.&lt;span&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/archives/1205-Desmond-Tutu-e-le-Pagliuzze-Altrui.html#extended&quot;&gt;Continua a leggere &quot;Desmond Tutu e le Pagliuzze Altrui&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

Richard Toye, uno storico dell&#039;Università di Cambridge, lo ha scoperto e ha ora deciso di renderlo pubblico.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Nell&#039;articolo, intitolato &#039;Come gli ebrei possono combattere le persecuzioni&#039;, Churchill ricorda che dal 1933 gli ebrei avevano cominciato ad avere vita difficile sotto il Terzo reich. &amp;quot;Sarebbe facile attribuire (questa ostilità) solo alla malvagità dei persecutori ma questa non sarebbe tutta la verita&amp;quot;, scriveva tra l&#039;altro lo statista. L&#039;antisemitismo è presente anche in quei paesi &amp;quot;dove ebrei e gentili sono uguali davanti alla legge e dove numerosi ebrei hanno trovato asilo e opportunita&amp;quot;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &amp;quot;Gli ebrei in particolare dovrebbero tenerne conto&amp;quot;, proseguiva Churchill, &amp;quot;é possibile che loro stessi alimentino ... l&#039;ostilità di cui sono vittima&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Il punto centrale dei rapporti tra ebrei e non ebrei è che l&#039;ebreo è un diverso - scriveva ancora - ha l&#039;aria di un diverso, pensa in modo diverso, proviene da una tradizione e da un patrimonio culturale diversi,&lt;strong&gt; non vuole essere assimilato&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;. Nell&#039;articolo, tuttavia, Churchill sottolineava anche che gli ebrei sono gente &amp;quot;sobria, lavoratrice e rispettosa della legge&amp;quot; e chiedeva ai suoi concittadini di condannare le persecuzioni che , qualche anno dopo, dovevano culminare nei sei milioni di morti dell&#039;Olocausto.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Secondo lo storico inglese che ha ritrovato lo scritto negli archivi dell&#039;Università di Cambridge, fu il segretario particolare dello statista a insistere con lui che pubblicarlo &lt;u&gt;non sarebbe stato &amp;quot;consigliabile&amp;quot;.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Apriti cielo, si rimarrà sicuramente basiti di fronte a questa notizia.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eppure un pò di buon senso non dovrebbe far perdere la bussola a chi ora sotiene politiche di integrazione democratica e di assimilazione. (praticamente tutti)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Non va bene questa politica con gli ebrei?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Non vogliono essere assimilati?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ebbene le leggi razziali italiane e quelle di Norimberga rispondevano proprio a questo principio.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Perchè si parla di discriminazione, allora?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Biognerebbe riflettere su questo argomento e pensare all&#039; oggi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sono integrati nel tessuto nazionale oppure hanno una doppia nazionalità?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #faffff&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;L&#039; uscita di un saggio di Paolo Signorelli sul fisico italiano Ettore Majorana, permette di riaffrontare la sua fine circondata di mistero, che Leonardo Sciascia aveva affrontato in un suo libro, alcune conclusioni dello scrittore vengono criticate come l&#039; isolamento che aveva subito dai colleghi e la rivalità con il figlio di Gentile:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/uploads/majorana.jpg&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;«Intuì l&#039; orrore della bomba atomica»&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(dal corriere.it)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Nel saggio «La scomparsa di Majorana», uscito nel 1975 (pubblicato allora da Einaudi, ora ristampato da Adelphi), Leonardo Sciascia  sostiene che il fisico siciliano non si suicidò, ma scelse di esiliarsi dal mondo. Due le ipotesi avanzate dallo scrittore per spiegare tale decisione. La prima è che Majorana avesse intuito negli incipienti sviluppi della scienza la prospettiva della bomba atomica. La seconda, contestata da Paolo Simoncelli, è che lo studioso fosse amareggiato per l&#039; esito a lui sfavorevole (e secondo Sciascia predeterminato e manipolato) di un concorso a cattedra tenuto nel 1937, che vide tra i vincitori Giovanni Gentile jr., figlio dell&#039; omonimo filosofo.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mesi prima del D-Day, i comandanti americani e britannici decisero che soltanto truppe francesi che fossero 100% bianche potevano prender parte alla liberazione di Parigi.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/uploads/liberation.jpg&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liberation of Paris: The hidden truth&lt;br /&gt;Months before D-Day, American and British commanders decided that only French troops who were 100 per cent white could take part in the operation to free Paris. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The story is one of the most written about events in modern French history. The first large Allied military force to reach Paris on 24 August 1944 was the only French unit in France at the time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The second armoured division led by General Philippe Leclerc swept aside all opposition - including American objections - to be the first to liberate the capital. What was not known, until now, is that Leclerc&#039;s division was hand-picked for the task five months earlier. It was chosen partly because it was French but, more specifically, because its soldiers were white.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;According to a book published in France this month, British and American generals insisted in early 1944 that non-white French colonial troops should be excluded from the liberation of Paris. The revelation, drawn from US and UK military archives, coincides with the success of the Franco-Algerian film, Les Indigènes which tells the almost forgotten story of the north African troops who fought in Italy and southern and eastern France in 1943-44. The movie has just been nominated for an Oscar as best foreign film of 2006.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A book on D-Day and its aftermath published this month by a distinguished French historian, Olivier Wieviorka, includes much other new material from American and British archives. It reveals, for instance, the depths of the crisis of morale which threatened to incapacitate the Allied armies in Normandy a month after the landings on 6 June 1944. At one point, according to US records found by Professor Wieviorka, one in three &amp;quot;wounded&amp;quot; American soldiers suffered from psychological, rather than physical injuries. British infantry fighting spirit at the time was equally poor.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The stated aim of the book (Histoire du Débarquement en Normandie&amp;quot;, Seuil, €24) is to tear away some of the legends of glory and &amp;quot;willing sacrifice&amp;quot; surrounding the D-Day invasion. These legends have perhaps survived longer in France than in Britain or America.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The most startling revelation occupies only two out of the book&#039;s 416 pages. It throws new light on one of the most mythologised events in French history: the liberation of Paris. At the start of 1944, Leclerc&#039;s armoured division was stationed in Morocco. It was chosen, from all other units in the French army to play a headline role in the liberation of the capital because - in the words of one of the most senior US D-Day generals - it was the &amp;quot;only French division which could be made 100 per cent white&amp;quot;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;All other units in the French army at that time were two thirds or more African. They fought in Italy and took part in the secondary invasion of France, on the Mediterranean coast, in August 1944. Their role in the defeat of Nazism was little acknowledged during and after the war. Many of the colonial veterans were denied full French army pensions until the Franco-Algerian film Les Indigènes, directed by Rachid Bouchareb, appeared in September last year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The book reveals that American and British commanders agreed months before D-Day that, for reasons of propaganda and French national morale, a French division should help to liberate Paris. However, they - and not the French leader, General Charles de Gaulle - insisted that the unit must not include colonial troops. In an interview with The Independent, Professor Wieviorka, said that the motives of American and British commanders may have been more political than racial.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;It was agreed that a French unit should be present for the liberation of Paris because that event would inevitably attract great publicity in France and internationally,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Once that decision was made, it was perhaps important to the Allies, for the same propaganda reasons, that the unit should appear French to the people of France. But this was something that the British and Americans insisted on, not De Gaulle.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Professor Wieviorka says that the episode remains perplexing. US military attitudes might have been influenced by the fact that its army refused to allow black conscripts into combat units. On the other hand, the US military made no objection to fighting alongside French colonial troops in southern France.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Equally, the British view is somewhat puzzling. Comments made by a very senior British officer in the memos found by Professor Wieviorka appear tinged with racial fears about the presence of French colonial troops in Britain. On the other hand, the British Government made no objection to - and ordinary Britons largely welcomed - the black American troops serving in logistic and menial roles with the D-Day invasion force.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A memo from 28 January 1944, found by Professor Wieviorka in the National Archives in Washington, was signed by General Walter Bedell-Smith, Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight D Eisenhower. General Bedell-Smith, who was to head the CIA in the 1950s, wrote: &amp;quot;It is highly desirable that the [French] division should be composed of white personnel, which points to the second armoured division, which has only one quarter native troops and is the only French division which could be made 100 per cent white.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The Americans initially wanted the French unit to be infantry, not an armoured division. Leclerc&#039;s American-built Sherman tanks were awkward to transport by sea all the way from Morocco to Britain. There were plenty of American and British armoured units available in southern England. Infantry was scarce. General Bedell-Smith suggested a way around this problem. &amp;quot;If sea transport problems make it impossible to send an armoured division, we might find it necessary to create a [French] force, from all arms, composed of white troops and designated as a division.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A British general, Frederick Morgan, the officer who headed the D-Day planning team, made the same argument. In a memo written on 14 January 1944 found in the American archives, he wrote: &amp;quot;I am convinced that it is of the greatest importance that there should be French troops among the first units to enter Paris. The bigger these units are the better.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;However, the French troops would have to be based in Britain before the invasion. This worried General Morgan and also General Hastings Ismay, Chief of Staff to Winston Churchill, later the first secretary general of Nato. General Morgan wrote to the Americans: &amp;quot;General Ismay and I have made it clear [to the French] that we would accept only with great reluctance anything but troops from France proper... It is unfortunate that the only white French unit is an armoured division stationed in Morrocco... The other French divisions are only 40 per cent white. I told [the French] that they would get [a place in the invasion force] far more easily if they could produce a division of white infantry.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;In the event, the decision was made to send the second armoured division from Morocco, with its Sherman tanks but shorn of its 25 per cent non-white troops. The division landed in France on 1 August 1944 and played a role in the Allied break-out from Normandy. Despite American doubts about the wisdom of attacking the capital immediately, Leclerc sprinted east and, on 24-25 August, relieved the army of resistance fighters and policemen which had begun the liberation of Paris. General Leclerc&#039;s force was all white - but it was not all French. It contained many volunteers from Spain and a few from Portugal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;There were 550,000 men in the French army in 1944. They were partly assembled from the Free French forces which had gathered around Charles de Gaulle in Britain from 1940. Many others were recruited - not always voluntarily - in the French African colonies. Of these [leaving aside colonists of French origin], there were 134,000 Algerians, 73,000 Moroccans, 26,000 Tunisians and 92,000 men from colonies in black Africa.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;This multiracial army was first thrown into battle in Italy in 1943, particularly in the grim struggle to dislodge the Germans from Monte Cassino. The same troops landed with the Americans in the south of France on 15 August 1944, while the main German force was still engaged in Normandy. After advancing through France with little opposition, the southern invasion force became involved in terrible winter fighting against the German armies which had assembled to defend the approaches to the Reich in the Vosges mountains and in Alsace in north eastern France from December 1944.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Les Indigènes, follows the boot-steps of four north African soldiers, all played by well-known French actors of Arab origin: Jamel Debbouze (Amélie), Samy Naceri (Taxi), Roschdy Zem and Sami Bouajila. Bernard Blancan plays a pied-noir (white Algerian colonist) sergeant, who is revealed - to his fury - to be half-Arab. All five men shared the male actor&#039;s prize when the movie was shown at the Cannes Film Festival last May.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Professor Wieviorka&#039;s book also includes new material on the collapse of the morale of British and American troops in Normandy a month after the D-Day landings. The reluctance of some Allied soldiers to fight - and the reluctance of senior officers to send them to their deaths - has already been described in classic recent accounts of the battle of Normandy by the British historians Max Hastings and John Keegan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Professor Wieviorka adds a mass of telling detail. According to US Army medical records, a third of all soldiers listed as &amp;quot;wounded&amp;quot; in mid-July 1944 suffered from psychological, not physical, injuries. Both the British and American armies suffered an epidemic of self-inflicted wounds at this time, the book says. Professor Wieviorka quotes an account by one of Eisenhower&#039;s aides which says that the Supreme Allied Commander was &amp;quot;depressed&amp;quot; to find 1,100 cases of self-inflicted wounds by American soldiers when he visited a large field hospital near Carentan in Normandy in July 1944.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;At this time, after the initial success of the landings, the British, Canadian and American armies were being held back by the Germans in a series of murderous close-quarter battles comparable to the bloody struggles on the Eastern Front or in the First World War. Morale rose sharply after the Americans broke through on 24 July.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;In his book, Professor Wieviorka suggests that part of the problem was that many of the US and British infantry in Normandy were a &amp;quot;weak link&amp;quot; - poorly selected and undertrained. &amp;quot;Thrown into infantry units by default, less educated than the average sailor or airman, they often had little pride in their units,&amp;quot; he writes. &amp;quot;And yet the battle fell largely on their shoulders ... the infantry took 76 per cent of all battle losses in Normandy and 76 per cent of the psychiatric cases&amp;quot;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Professor Wieviorka said his intention was not to denigrate the achievements of the Allies. &amp;quot;Quite the opposite,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The standard picture of young men ready and eager to lay down their lives to defeat Nazism is too simplistic. Only when you look at what these troops really went through do you have a proper understanding of their achievements.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;[&lt;em&gt; Source: The Indipendent&lt;/em&gt; ]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Exclusive: Handwritten Note From Jimmy Carter Interceding for Nazi SS Guard Proven to Have Murdered Jews&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;We now have a copy of the note that Jimmy Carter sent to the U.S. Justice Department&#039;s Office of Special Investigation, interceding on behalf of a Nazi SS Guard. We first reported on this story this morning.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Carter&#039;s note is attached to a letter from the daughter of the Nazi SS Guard to Mr. and Mrs. Carter, asking for them to help the Nazi SS Guard. Mr. Carter sent the letter to the Justice Department&#039;s Office of Special Investigations, with the following note attached:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    To Director, O.S.I.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    I hope that, in cases like&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    this, that special consideration&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    can be given to affected families for humanitarian reasons.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    Jimmy Carter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The writing appears to be in Carter&#039;s handwriting with his signature. (Update: littlegreenfootballs.com says the handwriting matches Carter&#039;s.) The letter is stamped as &amp;quot;received&amp;quot; by the O.S.I on September 22, 1987. We post the entire letter below.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So who was this Nazi that Carter wanted the O.S.I. to take pity on? As the Arutz Sheva article we quoted this morning reported:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    Bartesch, who had immigrated to the U.S. and lived in Chicago, admitted to Sher&#039;s office and the court that he had voluntarily joined the Waffen SS and had served in the notorious SS Deathâ€™s Head Division at the Mauthausen concentration camp where, at the hands of Bartesch and his cohorts, many thousands of prisoners were gassed, shot, starved and worked to death. He also confessed to having concealed his service at the infamous camp from U.S. immigration officials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    &amp;quot;We had an extraordinary piece of evidence against him -- a book that was kept by the SS and captured by the American armed forces when they liberated Mauthausen,&amp;quot; Sher said. &amp;quot;We called it the death book. It was a roster that the Germans required them to keep that identified SS guards as they extended weapons to murder the inmates and prisoners.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    An entry in the book for October 10, 1943 registered the shooting death of Max Oschorn, a French Jewish prisoner. His murderer was also recorded: SS guard Martin Bartesch. &amp;quot;It was a most chilling document,&amp;quot; Sher recalled.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    The same evidence was used by the U.S. military in postwar trials as the basis for execution or long prison sentences for many identified SS guards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;As we wrote this morning:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    Now Carter&#039;s complaint about &amp;quot;Jewish organizations&amp;quot; being against him starts to make sense. No guessing where he first got the notion of a Jewish conspiracy from. It&#039;s not only Walt and Mearsheimer who would be proud.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;We also spoke this morning to the chief Nazi hunter at the Simon Weisenthal Center and also the director of the center&#039;s Jerusalem office, Efraim Zuroff. As we reported this morning:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    Speaking from Jerusalem, Mr. Zuroff told us that &#039;Carter was never particularly sensitive on Jewish issues&amp;quot; and the news &amp;quot;doesn&#039;t surprise&amp;quot; him. He described Carter&#039;s approach as &amp;quot;a classic case of misplaced sympathy syndrome.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    Mr. Zuroff said that Carter &amp;quot;shows an accute lack of understanding for the horrors of the Holocaust&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;lack of sensitivity toward the fate of the victims of the Holocaust.&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    He finished off our conversation by asking &amp;quot;why would he use his influence to help a Nazi war criminal?&amp;quot; Why indeed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Also telling is the silence from Carter Center. We put in a series of calls from approximately 9:00 a.m. this morning to the Carter Center asking for a comment. We were finally called back at 12:15 p.m., only to be told, after we asked our questions, that we needed to submit our question in writing. We did that straight away. We are still yet to hear back from the Carter Center.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;But then again, the only thing more damning than their silence is the note Jimmy Carter wrote pleading for a Nazi SS Guard. That probably explains the reluctance to comment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Carter&#039;s constant attacks on the Jewish State now have a new context to be put in. Palestinian terrorist organization sympathizer ... Nazi SS Guard sympathizer ... the pattern is clear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/uploads/blog_8373_1.jpg&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;continued:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://cblog.thule-italia.org/uploads/blog_8373_2.jpg&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;[&lt;em&gt; Fonte: The Sun&lt;/em&gt; ]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;ITALIAN prosecutors called today for life sentences for 15 Germans accused of involvement in the country&#039;s worst civilian massacre during World War&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Seventeen men, all in their 80s, are being tried in absentia by a military court for the massacre of 955 civilians - many of them children - near the northern city of Bologna on September 29 and 30, 1944.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;All were members of the notorious 16th SS Reichsfuhrer panzer (tank) division, ordered to carry out a scorched earth policy following the Allied landings in Salerno in 1943.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Prosecutors requested today that two of the accused be acquitted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The late German president Johannes Rau expressed his &amp;quot;profound sorrow and shame&amp;quot; for the massacres during a visit to a memorial in the village of Marzabotto in 2002.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The same military court imposed in 2005 life sentences in absentia on 10 former Nazis, all in their 80s, from the same division for another massacre, of 550 civilians in the Tuscan village of Sant&#039;Ana di Stazzema in 1944.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Also in 2005, a court in Rome sentenced another former SS officer to life in absentia for his part in the September 1944 massacre of 60 people in a monastery near Lucca in Tuscany.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The trials and convictions of the former Nazis, the vast majority of them living in Germany, remain largely symbolic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Those convicted of the warcrimes are unlikely ever to go to jail, given their advanced age and the length of time needed for extradition proceedings. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;[ &lt;em&gt;Fonte: The Australian&lt;/em&gt; ]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
