The Holy Roman Empire Is Back: Iran Has Another Menace
After the Berlusconi speech at Knesset, which aroused enthusiasm in the Israeli Government with a clear position of the Italian Administration in defending Israel and accusing Iran of being racist and negationist, things are rapidly changing in Europe.
Italian Premier said: “Today, Israel’s security within its borders and its right to exist as a Jewish state we have an ethical and a moral imperative against any return of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial and against the memory loss of the West.
Our friendship with Israel is frank, open and reciprocal, … is not only diplomacy, it’s a motion from the heart and soul”.
At the same time political humor in Berlin is rapidly developing from that of a mostly passive to a more aggressive, even combative approach of the Bundeswher in Afghanistan. Some clear message from German Premier Angela Merkel to Iranian administration is at the moment increasing Germany leadership.
The idea of rebuilding the Holy Roman Empire under German direction is initiated and all European Countries have the possibility to have a unique voice.
It seems that both Germany and Italy have realized again an alliance in defending the Western Civilization but in a different sense, by going on the first combat line together with Israel.
The victory of the Liberty Party of Geert Wilder together with the Swiss watchword “No Minarets” and the disturbance actions of the League in Italy against the possibility for Muslims to built Mosques, is a clear sign of Europe backlash against Islamic immigration.
The immigration is no longer intended as multiculturalism victory but as a danger for the entire community.
The usual leftist intellectuals turn their noses and refute the irrefutable.
In the meantime Germany cancels an agreement with Iran due to Israeli pressures. Israeli sources reported that Germany has decided to cancel a trade agreement signed between a German company and Iran to rebuild the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.
“Italy, in assessing international sanctions against Iran to try to stop its policy of expanding nuclear power, will primarily safeguard the best interests of peace rather than defend the trade and industrial relations with Tehran” said the Secretary General of the Ministry Giampiero Massolo during a press conference with U.S. Ambassador to Italy, David H. Thorne.
Italian Foreign Minister Frattini warned that “against Iran” there is needs sanctions shared as well as a single European voice to condemn the violence and provocation.
The Bismarck guidelines for creating a super state required a main point: you need a common enemy. Today enemies are Iran and Islam.
The Obama speech at the Al-Hazar University in Cairo does count anything, is the wrong approach and Europeans with German leadership have perfectly realize his limitation.
