Who can forget that il duce was hitler's most loyal ally and dragged Italy on the wrong side of WWII. Don't fall into the same trap for the second time. Recognize terror and denounce it! Please check this out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1432100742477106895&q=obsession

D'Alemais a moron!! Does he really think that al-Qaeda lacks a politcal goal? Nope! They want to re-establish the Dar al-Islam to it previous greatness under Sharia law! I guess he could say the same for the Red Brigades!

and the current PM of Italy have a twisted ideology. The rest of the world must not give them a platform. The Italian public also deserve better.

Well observed Massimo.It will take time for the rest of the Western politicians to come to terms with these organisation.Too much of this term terrorist is being used these days...................let us start believing in the truth now

This is what we have to look forward to. Italian troops standing on the border with their Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema saying that Hitzbollah and Hamas are not purely terrorist organizations. Well fuck him the stupid arrogant pig. I, personally am waiting for the day that these very groups or their Moslem friends will spread their evil on Europe. Let them blow up a few hundred buses, trains, planes and automobiles. I would like to see the Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema drinking coffee in Rome as he is blown up by a crazy Arab. I am waiting to see his face when he realizes that his number is up and he is left not dead but just capable of saying sorry to Israelies who have had to endure years of killing at the hands of these very same dogs who Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema claims are decent folk. I have a special blessing for you Mr Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema, may you spend the rest of your days with these dogs and pick nits from the fleas they pass on to you, piece of shit that you are.

Words, not actions, was all that America and Europe required of the PLO/Palestinian Authority terrorist organization who broke ALL agreements. For many years, American and European tax dollars financed the war against the Jews. The military wing of Palestinian Authority Abbas's Fatah party, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is responsible for massive terrorist atrocities against Jewish innocents. The U.S. EU UN seek the forcible removal of 100,000 Jews from Judea and Samaria to duplicate what Muslim terrorists were empowered to achieve via the Gaza surrender - global Islamic Terror State Two. The Hamas goal is conquest of Israel and Europe: HAMAS Targets Spain By Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld FrontPageMagazine.com | January 2, 2006 It is not only Palestine that children in the West Bank and Gaza are asked to liberate; now they are asked to liberate Seville. The HAMAS children’s magazine, Al-Fateh, in a recent issue, (No. 66), tells the children about the city called Asbilia (Seville) and calls on them to free it, together with the whole country, from the infidels and to reinstate Muslim rule... Qaradawi, calls on Muslims to conquer Europe, saying: “Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and a victor... Apparently encouraged by successful Jihad against Israel, HAMAS is now raising the ante, going international. Just as they have indoctrinated a generation of Palestinian children to commit suicide attacks against Israelis, they are now expanding their targets to include the rest of the Caliphate – beginning with Spain. It is only a matter of time, before today’s Palestinian children, and others exposed to HAMAS’ publications start offering themselves up for the next stage of Jihad in Spain. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20726

Terrorists are the favorites of world leaders. Godfather terrorist Arafat had more Jewish blood on his hands than anyone since Hitler and was the continual honored guest at the Clinton White House. Mass murderer Arafat was adored by world leaders. Will Bin Laden one day be the honored guest at the White House?

We must do something, take an hour out of your day to watch this http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5040457003958805741

Israel is an inderpendent country as it happens I am proud to call it my country. Hamas and Hizbulla are orginisations formed to destroy our country by terrorising and killing the jewish population. They are not defending a country and they are randomly killing our civilians.Please could some one explain what makes them anything but terror useing terrorists.I hope that you Italians don't have to learn the hard way what terror is.

He should be ashamed of himself. Those are organizations who use terror in order to achieve their goals. In the meanwhile, they aim to capture support of the simple man on the street, brainwashing as much as they can and preaching death and destruction under the pretexe of religion. Any organization who uses terror is a terrorist organization. Rationalizing will not make them what they're not. In English there's an old saying: If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck!

Hisballah, is a group that is trained to blow themselves up. This means that anyone that does not respect there own life and wants to kill themselves because of hate, we should get rid of them as quickly as possible because not only they are terrorists but they are insane in a sane society.

Hizbullah's Flag is a clear symbol of what they represent and how they view themselves.

According to Massimo D'Alema, Hamas and Hezbollah "have a political side, they are engaged in assistance." And thus Massimo D' Alema invites the world community to "bring them into political fold"... Massimo seems to be unaware that on political level, Hamas and Hezbollah are movements with fascistic, totalitarian connotation, and thus it would be impossible for such organizations to dissociate the violence from politics. What a strange point of view indeed for someone who comes from Italy, the country with such a spectacular past of ordinary social fascism !

Despite your irresponsible claims, the fact remains: these fanatics still target civilians. They openly state their aim is to destroy the Jewish state, clearly they are following a racist ideology. Just read Hamas' charter or watch some Al-Manara TV if you want to witness the antisemitism. When an organization airs a TV show about Jews taking innocent blood to make passover matza there's something fundamentally wrong wtih that organization. And as for their social services: they use those services to spread their ideology of hate. In summer camp children learn to hate the zionist. and the people these organizations aid become indoctrinated with antisemitism. if these organizations want legitimacy, let them become purely political and end their bigotry and disarm.

it's true Hizbullah isn't a terrorist, i am in lebanon since the end of the war and i went on the weekend to the borders and i was surprised when i saw the borders and how israel is like 2 m from lebanon, to tell you the truth hizbullah had all the possibility to attack all the houses in mutilah , kiryatchmona and all the cities in the north along with all the industries i even saw a juice factory on the israeli side which was intact so i realized after what i saw that the true terrorist is Israely gov who destryed villages completely like bint jubeil sidiqine khiam ....

I,m realy happy to hear such political wisdom coming from the Italian Foreign minister. We need people like that who can see things from a wider angle, and not just a narrow but rather a destructive one, like Israel and the USA.

The title of your post absolutely cracked me up, but there's one more thing I would add to your list of what Europe can look forward to if they think these people aren't terrorists. It'll be really interesting to see what happens when these European men who are used to having mistresses, find out that, under Sharia law, the penalty for adultery is having your head wacked off.

What do you call it when an organization trains kids to believe the greatest thing they can do is to blow themselves up in the middle of a group of other people and to kill as many of the others as possible? What do you call it when someone walks into a café, a restaurant or marketplace and blows themselves up for the sole purpose of killing as many people not like them as possible? What do you call it when you show movies where you portray those that do not believe as you do as preying on children and draining their blood to use in non-existent rituals with the sole purpose of inspiring hated of these others? What do you call it when a child in a stroller becomes the deliberate target of a sniper? What do you call it when hitchhikers are gunned down in cold blood solely because they believe differently? What do you call it when a cross border raid is staged with the sole purpose of killing or kidnapping people from the other side? I call these acts of terror and the people perpetrating them terrorists. All these terrorist acts, and lots of others, can be laid at the feet of members of Hamas, Hizbullah and the other factions with their innumerable names that are all really one and the same entity.

The differnce between the IRA and Hizbollah/Hamas is that the IRA never intended to commit genocide or to wipe any nation off the face of the earth, nor did it intend to conquer the world, convert every person in the world to its religion, by force if necessary.

These attempts to sanitize Hiz and Ham remind one of the 1930s when some "leaders of the civilized" world also tried to portray Nazism and Hitler as "decent folk" whom one could do business with if only one looked at things from their angle. I have one word for D'alema-Appeasement!

Did you also see the tunnels and bunkers the hezbo's build all along the border with Israel? For the past 6 years, since the IDF pull out of Lebanon, we were busy with B&B (bed and breakfast) in Northern Israel, while the Hezb's B&B meant bunkers and bombs in Southern Lebanon. Yeah right, no terrorists... Buddhist monks more likely. Who do you think you are fooling? Nasrallah's own son was killed in a fight with IDF troops several years ago, and his body was returned to his baba for burial. Get your facts straight.

If Italy does not fully understand that Hizbollah and Hamas are indeed true terrorist organizations. Then perhaps they should stay home. It's that kind of thinking that keeps getting people killed.

Sure a juice factory still intact !!!Wow and what about the hospital in Nahryia was that also intact??? Israelis got killed in binge beil because the hizbollah took cover in a mosque and the didnt want to shoot at the mosque but the arab terrorists have no respect for holy places.

Lewi you are misguided, like the Katyusha rockets. The only reason the Israeli juice factory is still standing is because these missiles lack a guidance system. However you can trust the Hizbys to get over this little technical glitch by aiming at bigger targets-like Haifa!

Grazzi for your kind words in support of our cause. Until the liberation of ALL of Palestine from the Sea to the River, these Zionists will not sleep. They had better hop on a plane to New York or Warsaw. We are going back to our villages to rebuild them, in Galilee, in Lod, in Jaffa, in Acre, in Haifa... We shall cultivate our land once more and rebuild everything with perfection.

it may sound a little bit strange to your ears, but please don't take his words in such a great consideration. he's a guy who threw molotvs to italian police in his young days when an eminent member of the youth organization of the communist party. political buraucracy and communist ideology, that's the cultural milieau where he grew up, so don't expect him to understand much what the real word is despite his good will and cleverness. we'll try a better pick next elections.

Dont be disillusioned by the press in your country.Ponder over what has been said in the article.Once branded as terrorist, I do understand that it is difficult to shift the stand.But you need to think of the posterity and allow some sort changes to occur and lessening of hatred.This is the best course of action in the circumstances.
