The eternal safe conduct of the Shoah

That Abu Mazen's statements (the Jews would be somehow responsible for the Shoah) are unacceptable, as he immediately declared, among others, also the European Union, there's no need to even say it. One wonders though, as a reader of Il Fatto did (27.4), Mauro Chiostri, talking about today and not about the codified yesterday, whether the State of Israel does not enjoy a special safe conduct based precisely on the Jewish extermination of three-quarters of a century ago. It's a question, for the truth, which many people do but which they do not dare to express publicly for fear of being immediately branded as anti-Semitic, deniers, racists, Nazis. But Israel is a state and should not be confused with the international Jewish community. In less Manichaean years than the ones we are currently experiencing, it was the Jewish community itself that did not want such confusion to arise. And it was logical that this should be the case. Because Israel is a state and, as such, can perform objectionable actions, and even nefarious, but that doesn't mean he has to answer for it, let's say, a Jew from the Rome ghetto. Today, however, this confusion exists and Israel can carry out acts with impunity that would cost other states indignant condemnation, if not worse, of the so-called 'international community'.

Introduction
For much of the last decade the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union have waged a campaign to undermine and overthrow the Russian government and, in particular, to oust President Putin. Fundamental questions are at stake, including the real possibility of nuclear war.
The latest Western propaganda campaign, and one of the most virulent, it is the one that started with the accusation launched by the British regime of Prime Minister Theresa May. The British have claimed that Russian secret agents conspired to poison a former Russian double agent and his daughter in England, threatening the sovereignty and security of the British people. No evidence was ever presented. But the UK has expelled Russian diplomats and called for tougher sanctions, to increase tensions. The United Kingdom, its US and European backers are moving towards a breakdown in relations and increasing military proliferation.
A number of fundamental questions arise regarding the origins and growing intensity of this anti-Russian sentiment. Read More

Pensions, alert Ue: Fornero reform should not be touched Reporting of Wall Street Italia

ROMA (WSI) – The European Union launches a new warning on the Italian social security system. In the report adopted on our country as part of the winter package of the European semester, the European Commission is betting the fates on Italy and the Fornero reform in particular indicated as untouchable.
The albeit partial changes made by Renzi governments and Gentiloni on the social security reform adopted by Italy in 2011, under the technical government led by Mario Monti, they would have in fact partially canceled the pension reforms that were made in the past with the consequence of increasing spending for the average period.

“The long-term sustainability of public debt Italian, ensured by pension reforms done in the past, It is slowly deteriorating, so much so that the European Commission's risk indicator went from low to medium (S2). Spending on pensions in relation to GDP increased by around two percentage points, as a result of the crisis and the consequent fall in nominal GDP. Italian pension spending is now the second highest in the EU and in theOECD, after the Greek one (…) The increase in implicit liabilities resulting from the aging of the population had been limited by past reforms of the pension and healthcare systems, which had improved Italy's long-term sustainability.
