TWIST AND LEARNING

I have a controversial relationship with the detractors of the State of Israel. I read a lot of criticisms of so-called anti-Zionists. I agree with almost every criticism of the Israeli government, but I can not stand it when this alleged anti-Zionism simply becomes anti-Semitism. I can not stand the anti-Semitism of the Arabs, but also of the Palestinians. You can have all the reasons in the world, but I will never prove the slightest sympathy if at the base of your reasoning, at the base of your claims there is racism, pure and simple, even if masked. I mean: I understand perfectly the Arab and Palestinian hostility in particular, but I do not feel empathy. My reasoning is simple: if I had been a Jew (a brave and determined Jew) at the end of the Second World War I would have done anything to be able to create a Jewish state. If I had been brave and determined I would have trafficked weapons and false documents and brought as many Jewish survivors to Palestine. So I feel admiratio

A senator from the Italian Republic , a member of the government majority, wrote about Twitter : The Group of the Sages of Sion and Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the skilful founder of the famous dynasty that still controls the International Banking System, led to the creation of a manifesto: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion ... It is an embarrassing and shameful fact: for him, for his party, for the government and for me as an Italian. In 2018 there is a senator from the Republic who quotes, as if they were true, The Protocols ... I do not know how to comment: I do not know enough bad words in English. I would need a lot of bad language to report my thoughts on this senator. Warning: not what I think about what he said, what I think about him as a person, as a senator. the title is taken from a commentary on La Repubblica's article

I started watching La casa di carta , a Spanish TV series. I started to watch it because it’s a Spanish TV series. Some time ago I saw “ La zona ”, a unusual TV series. I have already said that I watch the TV series and the films in original edition with subtitles in Italian. I really like listening to Spanish actors, I can follow the dialogue much more easily than English. So yes: I started watching La casa di carta just because it's Spanish, I do not care about the stories of robberies like Ocean’s eleven or anything like that. I'm continuing to study English of course and I always hope someone reads these lines and helps me to correct mistakes. In the meantime I watch TV series and films in original version and correct my short texts with Google Translator. I almost forgot: of course I'm falling in love with Nairobi .

I do not know if the word homeleaving really exists, but I like to use it as the continuation of the title of yesterday's post . This morning (let’s say so) I went out to run at noon! There was a cold wind, but the sun was warm. I ran for 6 km, I enjoyed a lot of pleasant temperature. I went out with a peaceful mind because I had finished and sent the project for a cosmetic box. After lunch (of course I did not really want to work) I watched the latest episodes of the TV series Mosaic , with Sharon Stone (but I fell in love with Jennifer Ferrin ). In the series Sharon Stone is a rich bitch that is murdered almost immediately. I noticed that in movies and telefilms the Italian word stronza (feminine) is translated with bitch, instead of the masculine ( stronzo ) is rendered with asshole...

In the last days I started watching the Homecoming TV series with Julia Roberts . This morning I did not want to work and I was too tired to go out running, so I watched the last episodes of this series. After lunch, however, I had to work a little: one of my clients urgently needed some labels for some of his products. So I felt like going out for a run, but it was dark now, it was cold and there was strong wind. I had to give myself courage, I had to cover myself very well and I went out. I ran only for 6 km but it made me feel better. Now I say it: today I stayed in my pajamas until I got dressed to go out and run! Yes, this is not beautiful! In general I wash and get dressed before putting myself in front of the computer, but this morning won the sloth or perhaps it was the post-traumatic stress disorder due to the fact that yesterday I was working from one of my clients from 10 am to 18 pm , doing just one short break to eat a sandwich! I was happy to come home, without nee

I'm rereading Moby Dick, in Italian of course. Sometimes I try to read a few pages from the original version, but I do not understand much. Often I can not understand the meaning of the sentence. Actually Google translator does not help much, Of this phrase, for example, I would never have been able to understand its meaning: Now Jonah's Captain, shipmates, was one whose discernment detects crime in any, but whose cupidity exposes it only in the penniless. In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers. Italian translation (by Piero Meneghelli publisher Newton Compton): Ora, il capitano di Giona, compagni, era uno di quei tipi pieni di furbizia che riescono a scoprire subito se uno ha fatto qualcosa di male, ma che per cupidigia, lo smascherano solo se è squattrinato. A questo mondo, compagni, il peccato che può pagarsi il tragitto può viaggiare liberamente, e senza pas

In 2018 I went out to run 205 times. I have covered 2161 km (my garmins say 2200, 9 km). Over almost nine years I went out to run 1575 times, covering over 15700 km. This morning I went out to run with my daughter, we have covered 5 km with a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius. After the shower she went to work: from 12 am to 11:30 pm ...!
