The word tourist first appeared in Italian in 1837 (tourism only in 1907). The etymology is clear: the tour (the Grand Tour) was the educational journey undertaken by European aristocrats and intellectuals from the 18th century onward, especially in Italy, … Continue reading →

La fine del Giudaismo
un testo di Giorgio Agamben
frammento:
[..] È proprio questa accettazione senza riserve dell’esilio, con il rifiuto che comporta di ogni forma presente di statualità, che fonda la superiorità degli ebrei rispetto alle religioni e ai popoli che si sono compromessi con lo Stato. Gli ebrei sono, insieme agli zingari, il solo popolo che ha rifiutato la forma stato, non ha condotto guerre e non si è mai macchiato del sangue di altri popoli.
Negando alla radice l’esilio e la diaspora in nome di uno stato nazionale, il Sionismo ha tradito pertanto l’essenza stessa del Giudaismo. Non ci si dovrà allora meravigliare se questa rimozione ha prodotto un altro esilio, quello dei palestinesi e ha portato lo stato d’Israele a identificarsi con le forme più estreme e spietate dello Stato-nazione moderno. […]il testo intero è qui:
https://www.quodlibet.it/giorgio-agamben-la-fine-del-giudaismo________________________
notilla di MG:
Personalmente (però) mi aspetto o mi aspetterei da G.A.:
(1) una ancora più energica anzi radicale decostruzione politica e storica del sionismo genocida e delle sue azioni concrete, inumane disumanizzanti e irreligiose davanti a qualsiasi religione;
(2) una presa di posizione di tipo anche giuridico sullo status di illegalità anzi criminalità ormai secolare di israele e dei suoi sostenitori;
(3) una sottolineatura ancora più forte della natura originariamente militare dell’aberrazione che Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti hanno creato e sostengono; e
(4) una conseguente difesa non solo di strategie immediate (poco o per nulla attuate) di condanna, embargo, disinvestimento e boicottaggio verso l’entità sionista, ma anche delle pratiche di Resistenza partigiana del Popolo Palestinese contro l’occupante.
Paragonare il genocidio attuato dai sionisti con la violenza nazista e fascista è sensato, è pertinente, e gli intellettuali italiani su questo devono prendere posizione (avrebbero dovuto prenderla da tempo). La storia non li aspetta, sta già rovinando sulle spalle dei colonizzati.
Davanti alle immagini, ai video, agli audio delle urla che si accumulano da ormai un anno, il pensiero occidentale o è frontalmente filopalestinese e antisionista, o è una semplice variante, più o meno moderata, del suprematismo colonialista bianco che ha negli USA il suo epicentro.

Cosa significa essere umani?
Al centro c'è la relazione, che “precede l’individuazione e configura una dimensione del noi nella quale si individua il soggetto.” Prima viene il noi, la noità, poi viene l’individuo: “prima di essere individui apparteniamo ad uno spazio noicentrico
