La NO violencia |

–
La NO violencia no es la simple ausencia de violencia.
- La NO violencia es tener la oportunidad de hacer daño y abstenerse de hacerlo.
- Es el reflejo del amor y la compasión humanas; es tan inseparable como la bondad de la compasión.

La violencia es el miedo a los ideales de los demás.

The Israeli military has said it will try by court martial a number of soldiers in connection with the abuse of a blindfolded Palestinian man.
Nov.14.– One video, broadcast by Israeli TV after being posted on YouTube, shows the man kneeling near a barrier being forced to repeat crude Hebrew phrases.

Borepanga, India; Oct.14.— The family of Solomon Digal was summoned by neighbors to what serves as a public square in front of the village tea shop. 
They were ordered to get on their knees and bow before the portrait of a Hindu preacher. They were told to turn over their Bibles, hymnals and the two brightly colored calendar images of Christ that hung on their wall. Then, Mr. Digal, 45, a Christian since childhood, was forced to watch his Hindu neighbors set the items on fire. “Embrace Hinduism, and your house will not be demolished”, Mr. Digal recalled being told on that Wednesday afternoon in September. “Otherwise, you will be killed, or you will be thrown out of the village”. |

La aplicación de la ley, que pretendía poner orden en medio de un clima de protestas anticomunistas, dejó varios muertos, detenidos y deportados
 El ex presidente y último líder de la Polonia comunista, Wojciech Jaruzelski, cuando abandonaba el tribunal de Varsovia
Varsovia, Oct.2 (EFE).- El ex presidente polaco y último líder de la Polonia comunista, Wojciech Jaruzelski, testificó hoy en el proceso que le juzga por la imposición de la ley marcial en 1981, donde calificó la medida de "mal inevitable", a la vez que afirmó que no todos los miembros de Solidaridad eran unos "angelitos".
"En Solidaridad había muchas personas excepcionales que admiro, sin embargo, el sindicato no estaba formado por diez millones de angelitos", explicó el general Jaruzelski.
A pesar de todo, el ex gobernante no rechazó que, desde una perspectiva histórica, el movimiento Solidaridad, principal víctima de la represión policial de aquellos años, tenía razón en sus demandas contra el régimen comunista. |
