While the country remembers it Nasiriyah massacrewhich took place on November 12, 2002, the Remembrance Day of Military and Civilian Fallen in the International Peace Mission, the fringe students wanted to say that this did not happen in their name. “There is no mourning for the slain soldiers“, wrote the collective of the autonomous university, which was also shared by the red collective of high school students. Since the attack, which is remembered, 28 people have lost their lives, 19 Italians and 9 Iraqis,”in our country there was only one voice: representatives of national and local institutions, the press, radio and television broadcasting institutions began an extraordinary ideological offensive, in which the complete distortion of reality was accompanied by the rediscovery of the worst military rhetoric and the final ridiculous nationalist pride.“.
That’s what we read in the press release currently circulating. The entire statement is a concentration of anti-Western and anti-military hatred and propaganda, a timeless ideological construct that somehow attempts to justify the attack. “But who are these carabinieri and soldiers we should mourn? Despicable mercenaries paid to kill abroad, exporting with McDonald’s and Marshal Rocca cultural weapons to the birthplace of the world’s oldest civilization“. And again, they wrote, “we know these people well, are ready to do it blood flows in our house tooalways in the name of peace, order, democracy: paid dearly with our money, they went abroad as America’s lackeys, perhaps too stupid to expect what happened. And this Banana Republic suddenly rediscovered that this was its homeland“.
The note further states that “enthusiasts, politicians and journalists can now wave the tricolor at their little ones, a simple ‘zero point’: ours is abroad, but it doesn’t matter. As for us, we said goodbye satisfaction every new attack the Iraqi resistance launched against the invading army, in the name of the fundamental self-determination of the people“. This is worrying, and should also lead to an important reflection on what is happening in Italy, regarding those who took part in the demonstrations and the reasons that led to clashes at the demonstrations, which in many cases constituted actual attacks on police forces.
Those who signed the statement were often at the forefront of demonstrations, defending illegalities and even justifying the assassination of state officials. Unfortunately, these expressions have been seen and heard before, and they always cause very serious problems.
