Manifestações em defesa de quem?

Nos próximos dias, terão lugar em Lisboa algumas iniciativas de demonstração de oposição à investida militar israelita. É evidente que a guerra, qualquer guerra é um acontecimento deplorável em si mesmo e pelos danos causados a inocentes. Infelizmente, é, por vezes, um último recurso inevitável. Acontece que esta investida militar tem alvos bem definidos, pelo que talvez não fosse má ideia perceber quem são esses alvos - e haverá melhor maneira de o fazer que a leitura do seu documento fundador, a Carta do Hamas? (Uma tradução para português encontra-se neste livro). O documento é extenso, e há coisas melhores para fazer, por isso, colo uma parte, para aguçar o apetite para a leitura de todo o documento, e para recordar da próxima vez que alguém falar em negociações de paz (destaques meus): «Article Thirteen: Peaceful Solutions, [Peace] Initiatives and International Conferences [Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith, the movement educates its members to adhere to its principles and to raise the banner of Allah over their homeland as they fight their Jihad: "Allah is the all-powerful, but most people are not aware." From time to time a clamoring is voiced, to hold an International Conference in search for a solution to the problem. Some accept the idea, others reject it, for one reason or another, demanding the implementation of this or that condition, as a prerequisite for agreeing to convene the Conference or for participating in it. But the Islamic Resistance Movement, which is aware of the [prospective] parties to this conference, and of their past and present positions towards the problems of the Muslims, does not believe that those conferences are capable of responding to demands, or of restoring rights or doing justice to the oppressed. Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the nonbelievers as arbitrators in the lands of Islam. Since when did the Unbelievers do justice to the Believers? "And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah [himself] is the Guidance. And if you should follow their desires after the knowledge which has come unto thee, then you would have from Allah no protecting friend nor helper." Sura 2 (the Cow), verse 120. There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility. The Palestinian people are too noble to have their future, their right and their destiny submitted to a vain game.(...)» Ninguém organiza contramanifestações?
