- Introduction
-
- The last elections
in Italy had completed the Judeo-Zionist takeover of Europe.
For sure, the previous Italian government was Zionist enough
for anybody. However, now a new barrier was taken by
zionists: the crazy far-right Jewess Fiamma Nirenstein, who
moved to Israel and settled in the West Bank ten years ago,
came back to Rome as a member of Parliament, without giving
up her residence in occupied Palestine. It does not matter,
she says, for "every Jew in the world is an Israeli even if
he's not aware of it. Anyone who doesn't know it is making a
big mistake". In other words, the Jews in European
Parliaments and in the US Congress are "Israelis", but
probably we suspected that much. What about her identity?
"The most important thing for the Italian identity is to
stand by Israel's side".
-
- Completing full
alliance of Zionist-fascists, she joined Berlusconi and the
neo-fascist party of Fini in their joint list. This is not
so strange: in 1920-30's Jews formed a bigger part of
Italian fascist leadership. Actually, Adolf Hitler was an
odd man out in the European Far-Right in his refusal to deal
with Jews: he said that if he would let them, the Jews would
march by thousands into his party. Mussolini, a friend of
many Jews, tried to convince Hitler to accept Jews, as "with
Jews, victory of fascism is sure". Now, on this stage, Jews
and zionist-fascists do march together, while independent
far right and far left are both excluded.
-
- This is the trap
the Jews had led the Europeans into: they began, like Fiamma,
as leftists, and infiltrated the left; eventually, they
discarded the subdued left; and re-created Zionist Fascism
of Berlusconi, Sarkozy and Merkel.

- Here, we offer you
a few background pieces on the subject, including an
interview with Fiamma:
-
- (1) "No we can't" -
the collapse of the Italian left
-
- By Mary Rizzo
-
- http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3186.shtml
-
- Something totally
unexpected happened in Italy Monday night. It officially
became American.
- In a country that
boasted hundreds of parties (too many, for sure) and
political factions, our parliament has eliminated all
elements of the left from the parliament, including parties
that existed from the founding moments of our Republic, and
parties that, elsewhere in Europe, govern nations as large
as Spain and Great Britain. There are no more Communists in
the parliament. Socialists are gone too. The Greens have
faded to black. What we have is the stew of a party that
copies in slogan and in fact the US Democratic Party. "Si
puņ fare" was the slogan . . ."Yes we can." Never catering
to any kind of difficult analysis but being all smiles and
handshakes, installing the idea of 'change' (but if they had
governed for the past two years, what change were they
asking us to believe in?) rather than in recognising that
Italy is a country on the verge of collapse and if we don't
fix things quickly, we are going to feel it painfully.
-
- And, I'm not
surprised the self-styled 'radical' left was excluded by the
vote. They had no imagination to go beyond inserting their
politicians here and there, making sure that they maintained
their positions, without ever raising a self-critical voice
to the positions they had adopted during their two-year
reign in power, including allowing US colonisation in this
country, from the enormous extension of the Dal Molin US
military base to the 'mission' in Lebanon and the
refinancing of the Afghan war effort. They succeeded in
raising hospital costs and sticking the union demands in a
public offer to salvage Alitalia from certain bankruptcy and
loss of jobs, all in the name of 'protecting the national
company,' as if we really need a national airline!
-
- They addressed a
class that does not even exist, catering to the enormous
category of state employees, taking advantage of social
conflict between aspects of the disenfranchised, promising
everything to everybody, from a minimum wage to a moveable
salary scale that they can't finance, to increased in
pension funds. They certainly did not extend a cent towards
the financing of my area of work, which is art conservation,
because they believe they can get a lot of the work in 'free
training' of college students. Unfair competition is what it
is called, while they see it as the Band-Aid that is the
only way Italy resolves its problems.
-
- They did not face
the ecological and social disaster of waste disposal, and
true to form, if there is anything that needs doing, from
putting out the forest fires that are now the leitmotif of
our summers and the feeding of the poor or aid to
immigrants, it is all passed off to the enormous league of
the millions of unpaid volunteers, which has always been
something Italy excels in, having this solidarity resource
that covers up all the holes that otherwise would send our
beautiful country to the bottom of a pit, never to crawl
back up.
-
- There was more than
enough to criticise them for, and they did not bother to
look into this, therefore, losing millions of votes and
consensus from their base. They never bothered to ask
themselves what their base thought. From Parlato, the editor
of the major leftwing newspaper, who supports the Israeli
place of honour at the Turin book festival, to Turco, the
health minister, who let certain categories such as dentists
run a totally free market service with no limit or no
alternative provided by the State, to Bersani, the economic
development minister, with his new laws on selling property,
which will do nothing but line the pockets of the 'approved'
companies that inspect to updated 'standards' and will
freeze a real estate market that is already on its knees.
-
- The resolution of
the conflict of interest in the mass media was not even on
the agenda, and, rather, we got the national outlets that
stopped any kind of criticism of anyone. Everyone was
democratic, every party got its 2-minute blurb on the news,
which was to state that the other parties were not right. A
half-hour of The Family Feud every evening would turn
anyone's stomachs, as there was no space remaining to
honestly state that "we are mad as hell and we aren't going
to take it any more!" No, all of it became political salons
and bla bla bla. And what is worse, the people most
committed to social change abandoned the scene faster than
anyone else.
-
- I have always loved
the fact that Italy had an enormous amount of major left
parties and newspapers. Yet, in the two years the left was
in power, it lost all sense of self-critique, and developed
an idolisation of itself based on the assumption that people
would trust that the politicians knew best. We stopped
trusting a while back, as they betrayed us one day after the
other.
-
- I am, of course,
unhappy about the complete absence in my country of a formal
institutional representation of the left. I am of course
unhappy about the prospect of another Berlusconi term, and I
am terrified of the implications on foreign policy. I am
unhappy that there was no internal mechanism of the left
leaning parties that adjusted them to the sentiments of the
people who are completely fed up with the governing left and
miserable with the right. The minimum common denominator
brought us the misery, and to be honest, it is not causing
me pain as it did seven years ago. The failure of the system
as a whole is the earthquake that perhaps we need to
rebuild.
-
- I translated the
below article by a Christian Social group, from their
newpaper "La Rocca"
-
- THE GRIMACE
-
- By Raniero La Valle
for n. 9 of Rocca (rocca@cittadella.org)
-
- The blitz was a
success. The Democratic Party lost, but the left has been
completely excluded from the parliament. The operation in
which an entire political area of the nation has been thrown
out of the parliament, for reasons of its proposals and even
its name, is a classic operation that smells of regime, that
as a matter of fact, not even Fascism, during its
parliamentary phase, was able to do. Certainly the forced
and litigious cohabitation within the Prodi coalition needed
to be amended, but not through the massacre of political
forces. The "incomplete democracy" of the "First Republic"
meant that the Communist left would be excluded from
government, which only provoked a lengthy torment and the
aggregation outside the institutions of fringe groups active
outside the parliament. The "simplified democracy" of the
Pannellian and Veltronian two-party philosophy means that
the left as a whole is pushed into the zone outside the
institutions. And that is how we've ended up with the armed
party, and now the risk is that the social, economic and
cultural issues that are no longer admitted into
parliamentary mediation will be shifted to other spheres of
struggle, in the best of hypotheses to marches and
demonstrations and in the worst to the casseurs that we saw
in the Parisian peripheries.
-
- This result is the
outcome, without a doubt, of the total lack of realism of a
left that has accepted to let itself be labelled as
'radical,' 'antagonist' and 'maximalist,' echoing those very
terms in their own newspapers, and it even forgot that there
can be no left in Italy if it does not in some measure also
assume the culture and the political passion of a
non-clerical Christianity. Yet, all of that would not have
been enough to produce the results of 14 April, that is
rather the effect, completely artificial (and therefore
undemocratic), of three joint factors.
-
- The first is that
the electoral law established that there would be a limit of
4 percent of total votes at the lower representative branch
and 8 percent at the Senate, in order to enter into
Parliament, in a system that did not have as its goal to
destroy the minor parties, but to force them to make
coalitions with the major ones in order to overcome,
together, the requested percentage restrictions. It is,
therefore, the case that with the same electoral law of the
present legislature, as much as it has been criticised, had
each party represented within the parliament.
-
- The second factor
is that the same electoral law hands out the premium of a
minimum amount of 340 lower house representatives to assign
to the winning list (and for the Senate, a regional
premium), igniting in this way a heavy burden on the
parliament and seriously conditioning the electoral position
of the parties, but at least the law dictated that the
awarding of the premium would go to a coalition, not to a
single party.
-
- The third factor is
that Veltroni, without waiting for this system to be changed
by democratic means, stripped it of its very nature, using
the system against all logic and against the residual
democratic character of the system, casting to the sea the
coalition and praising his own self for being able to have
shoved the allied parties out the door, from the Socialists
to the Greens to Renewed Communists, while Berlusconi
pretended to do the very same with his allies, however,
keeping Fini (National Alliance and Northern League) close
to his breast.
-
- The result is that
Berlusconi, 'the old,' has won and Veltroni, 'the new,' has
lost -- the Northern League is preparing to impose the
breaking of constitutional equality between the North and
South of the nation, Casini (Centre Union, Catholic party)
-- saves himself a 'forget me not' position of a party that
once was a recognisable Catholic presence and the left,
uselessly united, abandons the Parliament, loses the public
financing of their parties, will have a hard time keeping
their headquarters and newspapers and even Vespa (television
news conductor that praised bipolarism) today seems to show
regret and even Fini laments that a lower house where these
forces are not present is an 'anomaly.' And, it is the
height of absurdity that in this collapse, the losers are
declaring victory, a victory of having set the foundations
of an Anglo-Saxon and two-party system in Italy.
-
- In reality, what
has fallen in this earthquake is the illusion of a
non-political Italy, where the problems that are pressing on
us and the severe conflict of interests in a social sphere
and in those of need, can be resolved or ignored in the
molasses of good manners. Faced head on with the winds of
anti-politics, faced with the idiocy of the Ferrara's
(Abortion, No Thanks! Party) and the Jiminy Cricket Party,
face to face with the accusation against the entire
political 'caste,' the winners were those who did the most
'politics,' not whoever had taken refuge outside political
games. Berlusconi played politics, because it is the maximum
of politics to accuse all the others of being Communists;
Veltroni didn't even use the name of his adversary, maybe
thinking that it wasn't necessary to fight him, but to
exorcise him. And in an Italy where we still have to fight
for our right to bread, work, housing, health, he promised
the 'right to smile,' which we might interpret as sending
the homeless and those with no job security to the dentist.
Unfortunately, the smiles, on the night of 14 April, of
millions of Italians, have turned into a grimace, one of
worry and pain.

-
- The Israeli settler
serving in Italy's parliament
-
- By Meron Rapoport
-
- Almost 50,000
people live in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood, one of the
largest in Israel. Up until now, it had no representative in
parliament. As of this week, it does. Fiamma Nirenstein, a
neighborhood resident for 10 years, was just elected to the
Italian parliament. If we stick to the definitions of the
UN, which views Gilo, on the capital's southern edge, as a
settlement, one could say that Nirenstein is the first
settler to be a member of a non-Israeli parliament.
-
- This week, in a
series of phone calls to Rome, between the first reports of
a close victory for the right-wing coalition, to which
Nirenstein belongs, and the final reports of Silvio
Berlusconi's sweeping victory, Nirenstein explained several
times that she has not requested Israeli citizenship but
that this bureaucratic fact does not affect her identity. "I
feel as though I made aliyah," says Nirenstein in a
conversation that fluctuates between Hebrew and Italian.
-
- In the elections,
Nirenstein did not hide her Israeliness. Her campaign was
centered on the view that Israel is Western democracy's
vanguard in the struggle against world terror. "I ran for a
place in parliament as a representative of the Liguria
district. I held rallies in Genoa and other cities in the
region," she recounts. "But I didn't talk with the people
about local problems. I told them that the most important
thing for their Italian identity is to stand by Israel's
side." Nirenstein called her most recent book "Israele Siamo
Noi" ("Israel Is Us"). By "us," she was referring, of
course, to Italians.
-
- Even though Italy
hasn't experienced much in the way of terror attacks and the
number of Muslim immigrants there is small compared with
other countries in Europe, the talk about the importance of
the fight against Islamic terror, or simply of how to deal
with Islam in general, is very much present in contemporary
Italian discourse. Oriana Fallaci devoted the last years of
her life to writing books in which she forthrightly pegged
Islam as the source of all the world's evil. Berlusconi
himself, the unquestioned leader of the Italian right for
more than a decade, explained at one of his appearances a
few days ago: "We must be conscious of the superiority of
our culture, which gave prosperity to people in countries
that adopted it and ensures respect for human rights and
religion. This respect certainly does not exist in the
Islamic countries."
-
- Perhaps this is the
reason why Berlusconi and Gianfranco Fini, Berlusconi's
partner and the former head of the neo-fascist party,
proposed that Nirenstein join their joint list, Il Partito
della Liberta ("The Party of Liberty").
-
- Nirenstein's father
arrived in Italy during World War II, as a soldier in the
Jewish Brigade. In Florence, he met her mother, who fought
as a partisan against the fascist government and later
against the Nazi regime. "I was born as a communist," she
says. In her youth she was part of the 1968 generation,
founded the first feminist journal in Italy and worked at
leftist newspapers.
-
- After the 1967
Six-Day War, a rift began to develop between her and her
"communist comrades," who saw Israel as an occupying
country. "I was confused for a long time," she says. "In
1982, I signed a petition against the First Lebanon War.
Today I wouldn't sign it. What did Israel gain from the
withdrawal from Lebanon?"
-
- To the right of
Netanyahu
-
- Her first visit to
Israel was as a reporter, and it was only after this initial
visit that she returned in 1992 for the long term. For two
years, she ran the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Tel Aviv,
and after the Rabin assassination, she decided she had to
stay in Israel. "I had the feeling that this was the most
interesting place in the world, and I also felt that the
reporting on Israel was biased." She did not obtain Israeli
citizenship because she thought an Israeli passport would
hinder her in her work, but aside from that, she also thinks
that "every Jew in the world is an Israeli even if he's not
aware of it. Anyone who doesn't know it is making a big
mistake."
-
- In terms of the
reality of Israel's current political system, Nirenstein is
located to the right of Kadima and Labor, and maybe even of
Likud Chair Benjamin Netanyahu. She says she believes in the
idea of two states for two peoples, but thinks the principle
of "territories for peace" has been a failure. There's no
point in discussing it, she explains, until the entire Arab
world is capable of recognizing Israel. Negotiations with
Hamas are absolutely out of the question.
-
- But there are polls
which indicate that a majority of Israelis are prepared to
negotiate with Hamas.
-
- Nirenstein: "The
public supports a compromise with Hamas, so that it will
stop firing on Sderot. But morally speaking, there mustn't
be negotiations with Hamas, which thinks that Jews are the
sons of monkeys and pigs. You can't negotiate with
cannibals, who eat human beings."
-
- It's hard to argue
with Nirenstein. Not just because of the poor quality of the
phone connection to Rome, but also because she thinks that
Israel is a beacon that should serve as inspiration for the
entire West. "Israel is the vanguard of all the democracies
in the world, and the time has come for Europe to recognize
that," she says.
-
- But in the election
campaign you met with Italians who barely know where Israel
is. How did you persuade them that Israel is important to
their lives?
-
- "I said that Italy
can learn a lot from Israel. It can learn what a true
democracy is, how a democracy can survive in conditions of
conflict, without forsaking its fundamental principles.
Israel is a culture of life, a culture of people who are
always seeking peace. Our problem in Italy is that sometimes
we don't know who we are. You can know who you are if you
know your enemy and your friend. Israel is Italy's friend."
-
- In other words,
Islam is the enemy?
-
- "I'm not saying
that all Muslims are terrorists, or that all Muslims are
criminals. But Hamas has announced that it wants to conquer
Rome, to make it the outpost from which it will conquer all
of Europe."
-
- And you think that
Hamas really intends to conquer Rome?
-
- "Rome is a very
symbolic place in the eyes of radical Islam. Italy, with its
Catholic culture, is an enemy in the eyes of Islam."
-
- Obviously, this all
touches on one of the central issues in Italy's recent
election campaign: the immigrant issue. Fini, who is slated
to be appointed parliament speaker in Berlusconi's new
administration, frequently talks about the need to ban
illegal immigration. Even the moderate Social-Democractic
party, led by the former mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni,
devoted a good amount of attention to the subject.
-
- "People feel that
immigration is threatening their cities, their culture,"
Nirenstein explains. "Maybe it's exaggerated, but the
residents of Florence, for example, think of their city as a
temple for the works of art that were created there. When
they see the steps of the Duomo filled with immigrants,
they're in shock."
-
- I lived in
Florence. I remember Italy as a tolerant country.
-
- "It's changed a
lot. There are entire quarters that you can't enter at
night. There's rape, there are assaults, there's drug
dealing. There are schools for immigrants where they don't
hang the crucifix. The immigrants have contempt for our
culture. We gave them work and they scorn our values.
There's a deep contradiction between the more radical Islam
and Italy's values.
-
- "The problem is
that there is hardly any moderate Islam in Italy. Just the
opposite. In Rome they built an enormous mosque. There are a
lot of mosques in Italy, and very anti-Western madrasas
operate in them. There's polygamy, there's wife-battering -
it's very common. There's a father who killed his daughter
for 'family honor.' It's logical that Italians would notice
and that there would be reactions."
-
- The straight- armed
salute
-
- In Nirenstein's
books, you don't find the aggressive anti-Muslim sentiment
that screams from every page of Fallaci's books. But while
she isn't part of the wave of opposition to immigrants and
Muslims that is sweeping Italy, she does belong to the new
right that scored an impressive election victory this week.
It seems that there is no such thing as a right way to be
"right" in all of Europe: Berlusconi, the avowed capitalist
and most avid pro-American in Europe, on the one hand, the
Lega Nord (Northern League) with its wild incitement on the
other, and then Fini and his former neo-facist party. Angela
Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy almost seem like communists in
comparison to this bunch.
-
- Nirenstein does not
"completely" accept this definition. To her, Berlusconi is a
centrist who also received votes from the left, because he's
"for the downtrodden" and wants to lessen their tax burden.
Nirenstein sees herself as "a friend of the Northern
League," which just wants to turn Italy into a federal
state. She feels this is a legitimate ambition, even if some
of the League's pronouncements are "unpleasant."
-
- Her closeness to
the former neo-fascist party caused Nirenstein some
discomfort during the election campaign, particularly after
one of Berlusconi's candidates for the Senate, Giuseppe
Ciarrapico, proudly announced that he was and remains a
fascist. According to Nirenstein, his candidacy "does not
fit" with her candidacy as an avowed anti-fascist, a Jew and
the daughter of a partisan, but she remained on the list
nevertheless. "There's no such thing as a perfect list," she
says.
-
- Did you encounter
people like Ciarrapico during the election campaign?
-
- "At one of the
election rallies I attended, in Genoa, someone gave the
straight-armed salute. I went to the Allianza Nationale [the
new name of the former neo- fascist party] people and asked
who it was. I said that I protested, that I was stunned to
see such a thing and that I did not want to see it again."
-
- But Fini himself
used to do the straight-armed salute at rallies in the
1960s, when everyone knew where fascism had led to.
-
- "I don't know if
Fini did that salute, maybe he did it in his youth. But I
don't know what more he could have done than to kneel at Yad
Vashem. Is he supposed to kill himself?"
-
- He may not have
been able to do more. But how did you, as a Jew, the
daughter of a partisan, feel alongside a man who supported
fascism as an adult?
-
- "He was a fascist
like I was a communist, when I was indifferent to what Pol
Pot did, when I admired Che Guevara. I see him as someone
who has since developed."
-
- Post-election
Italy, says Nirenstein, is a better place, a more stable
place, a place without a radical left and a radical right.
She doesn't know yet what she'll do in the new parliament.
Nirenstein would like to deal with foreign affairs, but she
knows she'll have to pay a price: For now she'll remain in
Rome and bid good-bye to her good friends in Israel. She's
not giving up the house in Gilo, though. It will wait for
the return of the parliament member from Rome.
