Relacionado con este post, V, siempre tan poco políticamente correcto, me manda este muy interesante video de Benjamin Netanyahu, ex primer ministro de Israel, sobre la amenaza iraní. Sé que mucha gente piensa que es una exageración, pero me quedo con estas frases:

It is 1938 and Iran is Germany.

If somebody tells you he is going to exterminate you, believe him.

Many people think this is a Jewish problem.

    Test politicamente correcto:

    a) Las aulas de las escuelas Marroquies estan superpobladas.
    b) Los hospitales en Jordania funcionan mal.
    c) En el mundo arabe cada vez hay menos clase media
    d) Hay falta de democracia en le Mundo Arabe.

    Segun el Editor en Jefe de Al Jazzera Ahmed Sheikh, quién tiene la culpa?????

    a) La corrupcion en esos paises.
    b) La riqueza en manos de unas pocas familias.
    c) El retraso y la ignorancia.
    d) Israel.

    Si contesto Israel, se ha ganado un viaje a Iran con todos los gastos pagos para asistir a una ejecucion sumaria de un menor de edad, seguida de una suculenta cena pa’festejar que Allah es grande.

    At whom are you angry?

    It's not only the lack of democracy in the region that makes me worried. I don't understand why we don't develop as quickly and dynamically as the rest of the world. We have to face the challenge and say: enough is enough! When a President can stay in power for 25 years, like in Egypt, and he is not in a position to implement reforms, we have a problem. Either the man has to change or he has to be replaced. But the society is not dynamic enough to bring about such a change in a peaceful and constructive fashion.

    Why not?

    In many Arab states, the middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and the poor get still poorer. Look at the schools in Jordan, Egypt or Morocco: You have up to 70 youngsters crammed together in a single classroom. How can a teacher do his job in such circumstances? The public hospitals are also in a hopeless condition. These are just examples. They show how hopeless the situation is for us in the Middle East.

    Who is responsible for the situation?

    The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most important reasons why these crises and problems continue to simmer. The day when Israel was founded created the basis for our problems. The West should finally come to understand this. Everything would be much calmer if the Palestinians were given their rights.

    Do you mean to say that if Israel did not exist, there would suddenly be democracy in Egypt, that the schools in Morocco would be better, that the public clinics in Jordan would function better?

    I think so.

    In the end, is it a matter of feelings of self-esteem?

    Exactly. It's because we always lose to Israel. It gnaws at the people in the Middle East that such a small country as Israel, with only about 7 million inhabitants, can defeat the Arab nation with its 350 million. That hurts our collective ego. The Palestinian problem is in the genes of every Arab. The West's problem is that it does not understand this.

  2. Impresionante. Sin ser mala onda, ¿te hace acordar a algún otro país, de Sudamérica, tal vez?
