But the three ministers for Foreign Affairs didn't mention Israeli excessive reaction
by Emanuele Bonini
«We strongly condemn the outrageous anti-Semitic statements, demonstrations and attacks in our countries in recent days. We respect the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech. However, we will proceed with all available legal means against deeds and statements that are to be considered as acts of antisemitism, racism and xenophobia. Nothing, including the dramatic military confrontation in Gaza, justifies any such transgressions in Europe».
That is what is written in the joint statement signed today by the minister for Foreign Affairs of Italy (Federica Mogherini), France (Laurent Fabius) and Germany (Frank-Walter Steinmeier). They referred to the attacks against synagogue occurred in France during the latest days. We agree with three ministers, but we would have liked to read also «nothing, including the dramatic military confrontation in Gaza, justifies a so disproportionate use of the force by Israeli authorities». Unfortunately it didn't happen. On the contrary, the same three ministers said «Israel has the absolute right to defend itself from attacks». OK, so don't be surprised if there are people who don't understand.
