Castel Fiorentino (the agro of Torremaggiore), December 12, 1250: Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, Emperor of the Romans, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, is dying in his federiciana domus. Beside him is Manfredi, his beloved son, Berardo, the faithful who counts the beads of the rosary, and an Arab doctor who can do nothing more. In order not to die in silence, Frederick II dictates his memory. Not the official one of the chroniclers, but his own. From Jesi to Palermo, from conquered Jerusalem to Lyon where Innocent IV deposed him, from the wooden city called Vittoria that saw it burn in a night of February to the prison of his son Enzo in Bologna and the betrayal of Pier delle Vigne in Cremona. It is not the story of a miracle but the confession (inspired by Pirandello) of a man who wanted to transform the world into an architecture of laws, of falcons, and of tolerance, but who saw that entire architecture collapse. An accurate, intimate, and disillusioned historical-biographical novel, written as if it were the last “De arte venandi”: a work in the First Person Narrative on how Frederick II held power in his grasp, but, in the end, let it slip away.

Daniele Mari wrote, citing Il Messaggero, that a Qatari fund linked to the Al Thani family had contacted Oaktree to acquire a minority stake in Inter. He reported that there had been no comments from the United States and that, according to the newspaper, the club's finances had improved and the prospect of a stadium could increase its value. #Inter #Calcio #Qatar (translated)

The author indicated that the Museum of Moroccan Jewish Culture was inaugurated in Fes at the initiative of the king. He presented it as the first establishment of its kind in the Arab-Muslim world and wrote that its collection traced more than 2,000 years of Jewish life in Morocco as well as the history of tolerance and mutual respect between Jews and Muslims. https://t.co/aRggsYyn2Q #Culture #Histoire #Tolérance #MA (translated)

Luigi Marattin called the incident that occurred in Reggio Emilia offensive and ridiculous, claiming that some teachers and educators from American Jewish schools visiting to study the local educational model were pressured by pro-Palestinian activists to sign a statement against the Israeli occupation in Gaza. He stated that Reggio Emilia was a world excellence in early childhood education and would remain so despite the incident. Marattin contested the association between Jewish and Israeli identity, recalling that, according to what he wrote, 20% of the Israeli population is Muslim and enjoys the same rights and duties of citizenship. He argued that confusing the two identities was a form of religious discrimination. He also questioned why, if the intent was to reaffirm the values of peace and tolerance of the Reggio model, Muslim, Turkish, or American visitors had not been asked to dissociate themselves from the actions or policies of their respective governments. Marattin asked if anyone had ever been asked to condemn the terrorist attack of October 7, which he called criminal, and criticized those who referred to it as resistance during demonstrations in various Italian cities over the weekend, referring to the participants with a pejorative term. Finally, he stated that he was left speechless by the defense of the incident by prominent national figures of the center-left. #ReggioEmilia #Scuola #Educazione (translated)

Luigi Marattin corrected a mistake made on Piazzapulita, where he referred to UN Security Council Resolution 242 as "282." He argued that the text, adopted after the Six-Day War in June 1967, stipulated two conditions to be met together: the Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories and the recognition of the right to existence and peace of all states in the region, including Israel. Marattin recalled that in 1979 Egypt accepted a land exchange for peace and that Israel returned the Sinai. He added that the Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat was then assassinated. According to Marattin, other Arab states and Hamas, which emerged in the late 1980s, did not recognize Israel's right to exist. He stated that after Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, Hamas did not initiate a disarmament and peace process. He linked this position to Arafat's rejection of the Camp David Accords in 2000 and accused Hamas of oppressing Palestinians, launching rockets at civilians in southern Israel, and preparing the attack on October 7, 2023. In conclusion, he urged readers to verify the text of the resolution and accused pro-Palestinian propagandists of spreading falsehoods. #ONU #Pace #MedioOriente (translated)

Jan Betlach stated that on October 10, 1960, then Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir offered Arab states negotiations with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in New York or elsewhere, without preconditions. According to his contribution, she proposed discussions on peace, or at least on a non-aggression pact, specifically reaching out to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jordanian King Hussein, and the Lebanese Prime Minister. Betlach added that Israel, at that time, had a width of only 15 kilometers at its narrowest point due to the 1949 armistice, and the Arab states rejected the offer. One Western European delegate reportedly told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he hadn't heard a more reasonable proposal in a long time. Betlach wrote that Saudi representative Ahmad Shukairy used Nazi-related expressions twelve times in his subsequent reply and compared Meir to the Nazis. Five days later, according to his contribution, Nasser declared that Israel was trying to deceive world public opinion and that Egypt would never recognize the Jewish state. Shukairy later became the first chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization and drafted its charter, which, according to Betlach, rejected a Jewish state in any borders. Betlach concluded that Meir was only requesting a meeting but was rejected and made the target of comparisons to perpetrators of the murder of European Jews. #historie #BlízkýVýchod #mír (translated)

Russia will finance further terror from the price of diesel. Allowing Russia to sell oil industry products is nothing more than an investment in a war that must be ended, not continued. In a post published on social media, Zelensky responded to the agreement: Russia is using the profits from the diesel business to finance further terror. #oroszországháború #gázolaj #Zelenszkij (translated)

Russia will finance further terror and atrocities from the price of diesel fuel. Allowing Russia to sell oil industry products is nothing but an investment in a war that must end, not continue. What is needed is the mutual resolution of the conflict with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the agreement between Moscow and Washington on Friday, under which Russia supplies diesel fuel to the United States, saying it is "an investment in a war that must end." #Zelenszkij #oroszország #Trump (translated)

"Russia will finance further terror and depravity from the price of diesel. Allowing Russia to sell oil industry products is nothing but an investment in a war that must be ended, not continued. What is needed is the mutual alleviation of the conflict with Russia." Zelensky labeled the easing of sanctions against Russia as an obvious weakness and warned that Moscow would take Washington even less seriously afterwards. #Zelenszkij #Putyin (translated)

The Toad estimated that Charles Martel, who, according to him, had put an end to the Umayyad Arab-Muslim invasion of France in the 8th century, deserved a great historical film. He suggested that a story akin to a "French Braveheart," centered on the character and his battles, could appeal beyond the country's borders. He also wrote that a film depicting a Catholic repelling invaders he described in derogatory terms would today risk being labeled far-right and struggle to secure funding for a big-budget production. Lastly, he hoped that advancements in artificial intelligence would allow this period to be told in the years to come. #Histoire #Cinéma #CharlesMartel (translated)

Jan Betlach recommended a video from the account MorEdge_Insight, which he believed explained why the accusation that Israel was founded on "stolen land" was incorrect. He claimed that this criticism more accurately pertained to Jordan. Betlach stated that after World War I, Britain received the mandate territory of Palestine, where a Jewish national homeland was supposed to be established while protecting the rights of other inhabitants. In 1922, according to him, Britain separated about 77 percent of the territory, closed it to the Jews, and handed it over to Abdullah, the prince of Hejaz, which is today part of Saudi Arabia. He claimed that Abdullah had no relation to Transjordan and that his appointment to the throne was imposed by the British after France expelled his brother Faisal from Damascus; the League of Nations merely approved this formally, according to him. He described Jordan as a state created on territory taken from the mandate and ruled by a foreign dynasty. He added that the UN in 1947 recommended dividing the remaining 23 percent of the mandate territory west of the Jordan River, with the Jews accepting the plan and the Arabs rejecting it. Betlach asserted that Israel did not steal any land, whereas Britain divided the territory, and Arab states subsequently invaded the remainder. He argued that the accusations should be directed at Britain and Jordan, not at Israel. https://t.co/ugceLv8fS3 #Izrael #Jordánsko #historie (translated)

"la situazione a Gaza era critica e rischiava di esplodere in faccia a tutti"A settembre, ricorda la testata israeliana, Kamel si è recato in Israele avvertendo che "la situazione a Gaza era critica e rischiava di esplodere in faccia a tutti", riferisce l'articolo, citando funzionari anonimi di un governo arabo non specificato. #Hamas #Israele #Egitto

Su La7 Mieli ha lanciato con molta efficacia la Finestra di Overton: "Bisogna sapere l'arabo" e uno lì in studio ha subito ribadito: "I poliziotti che non sanno l'arabo sono un problema". Leggo molte reazioni indignate e incredule ma la chiave di lettura è banale: il Parastato gramsciano si sta attrezzando per erogare corsi di arabo obbligatori per operatori e "fortemente consigliati" per i cittadini. È l'occasione per riportare a scuola potenzialmente 60 milioni di persone e reclutare decine di migliaia di addetti. Con la vittoria della Sinistra sarà uno dei primi provvedimenti. Con la vittoria della Destra sarà una dura lotta per limitare i finanziamenti al minimo. Tale è la vita in terra ostile. #FinestraDiOverton #LinguaAraba #Politica italiana
