Published on Sep 6, 2015 El angelito con las alas rotas, tirado como basura en la orilla del mar, asfixiado por la desesperación, con su boca tragando arena, ha hecho consciente al mundo de las malditas decisiones que se han tomado desde Europa, desde Arabia Saudí, desde Turquía y desde Washington. \\\"Querido niño mío... ¡Cómo dueles en Europa! Si la cruel muerte te hubiera encontrado unas semanas antes, antes de abandonar Kobani (Siria), como a tantos otros, nadie sabría de ti, nadie se daría golpes de pecho, nadie lloraría con el perturbador relato de tu padre\\\", escribe nuestra compañera y corresponsal Raquel González. El angelito con las alas rotas, es el símbolo de inocentes martirizados por los terroristas que devoran Siria, sangre que las potencias del mundo disimulan no ver, pero que hoy a la fuerza tienen que ver (200 mil sirios asesinados, más de 11 millones de desplazados). El funeral de este pequeño y las palabras de su padre han estremecido el sentimiento mundial, pero la fotografía de la tragedia continúa, si no es el mar y la muerte, entonces les toca lo que estamos viendo en Budapest (capital de Hungría). Aunque vivos, sucumbirán a la mirada de humillación absoluta, tirados en el suelo, entre la basura o entre el tolete policial. Los dejaron subir al tren, pero los mandaron a un encierro para refugiados. No les abrieron el paso a su Europa soñada, la de Alemania. Inglaterra acepta un poquito más de refugiados, España dice que no puede, muchos le echan la culpa a la canciller de Alemania, Angela Merkel, por la crisis migratoria. Rusia, a toda Europa. Pero el problema no son los migrantes ni una Europa incapaz de aceptarlos. El problema es lo que hizo el Occidente con Oriente Medio para ver lo que estamos viendo. El apoyo a las rebeliones y terrorismo ha provocado uno de los más grandes éxodos con dimensiones inconcebibles. El problema es que lo que se puede hacer ahora, no se hace: ¿Por qué no en vez de contener la migración, detienen la guerra y el terror en Oriente Medio y así ya nadie huiría? ¿Por qué no los Ejércitos más poderosos del mundo, en un santiamén exterminan a los terroristas de los que huía el niñito Aylan?

Alemania ha desmentido siempre su papel en la contribución a un Israel nuclear, al igual que ha negado en todo momento tener conocimiento del montaje de misiles nucleares en los submarinos que ha entregado a Tel Aviv. Sin embargo, varios ex­-oficiales de alto rango alemanes han declarado a la revista Spiegel que ellos nunca tuvieron dudas de que Israel estaba instalando misiles en los submarinos que estaba recibiendo de su país. La financiación alemana al programa armamentístico del régimen sionista se incrementó bajo el mandato de Angela Merkel desde el mes de mayo, coincidiendo con la celebración del cincuenta aniversario del establecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas entre ambos. El hecho de que Alemania esté armando a Israel es una clara violación tanto de su propia Constitución como del Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear, del cual es un país firmante.
