Israel Embraces the Giro D’Italia

By Adam Smulevich

The first leg of the Giro d’Italia in Israel was a huge success.
It was the first time that a Grand Tour started outside Europe and the response of the Israeli public was extraordinary; beyond every expectation. The Giro was welcome with tremendous enthusiasm in every city it cycled through, starting on Friday in Jerusalem and arriving on Sunday in Eilat.
Equally the local athletes and the members of the Israel Cycling Academy distinguished themselves on many occasions (especially thanks to the performances of the Canadian cyclist Guillaume Boivin, who held the first position for many kilometers in two segments). As well, everyone from the first to the very last of the athletes, without distinction between team and nationality, was welcomed with applause and encouragement by Israelis on the streets.

“Israel se parecerá pronto a Holanda:
todos en bici por las calles”

Pagine Ebraiche staff

Sylvan Adams, presidente honorario del comité de la Gran Partida del Giro de Italia y copropietario de la Israel Cycling Academy, pone de manifiesto su objetivo: convertir Israel en un “paraíso de la bicicleta”. Lo dice exactamente así y, en este sentido, el Giro de Italia representa un punto de partida fundamental para alcanzar metas ulteriores.
“Lo voy a lograr, lo vamos a lograr. Eso es cierto”, dice sonriendo.
“Por lo que atañe al ciclismo, Israel tiene un gran potencial aún por descubrir. La Academy ha abierto camino a este proceso, sembrando esperanza y sobre todo certeza. Hoy tenemos un equipo que puede destacar en toda carrera, y en este Giro lo vamos a demostrar, y también un equipamiento profesional que antes no teníamos. Es una cuestión de educación y de formación. Las premisas son muy buenas.” Piensa, más en concreto, en Tel Aviv, donde este magnate de origen canadiense, hoy nacionalizado israelí, ha decidido vivir y manejar sus negocios.

Israel, un Giro muy especial

Pagine Ebraiche staff

El maratón que se corre cada mes de marzo y que cuenta ya con una participación vastísima (también de Italia) ha consagrado la ciudad de Jerusalén como importante destino deportivo.
Sin embargo, un evento como el Giro de Italia aún no se había visto en Jerusalén.
“Nuestro mensaje resulta muy claro: esta ciudad está abierta a todos, sin distinción de nacionalidad, religión o cultura” afirma Nir Bakat, el alcalde corredor de la capital de Israel. Puertas abiertas para el gran ciclismo, puertas abiertas para el Diálogo. Tres días históricos. Y muchas señales importantes por captar.
“Afrontar y gestionar conflictos es nuestro desafío diario. Un desafío cuyas consecuencias son claramente globales” añade el alcalde.

Déjà vu

Dario Calimani*

Ante los fenómenos de antisemitismo que están creciendo en frecuencia e intensidad en Europa, Italia incluida, ya no se puede minimizar. Y ya non es lícito hacer una sutil distinción, instrumentalmente pólitica, entre antisemitismo de derecha y antisemitismo islámico de inspiración antiisraelí. El resultado del antisemitismo es lo mismo y el peligro no cambia. No se trata solamente de los atentados contra la incolumidad física de los judíos, de los ataques a las personas que en Francia llevan kipá y de los asesinatos que la policia francesa no quiere reconocer como antisemitas. Es también la criminalización del judío en sí que hace que se perciba nuevamente el mismo horible sentido del período antes de la guerra. Las curvas de los campos de fútbol no son fenómenos aislados y aislables. La derecha neofascista, la izquierda tercermundista y el extremismo islamista están uniendo sus fuerzas para que el judío se sienta extranjero en Europa. Un terrible déjà vu.

'Abbas' Mendacious Allegations Are Worrisome'

By Sandro De Bernardin*

"As Chair of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, I was dismayed and very worried by the comments made by Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, on 2 May in which he used antisemitic stereotypes in public discourse, falsely claiming that the Holocaust was a result of Jews’ “social function” and purported association with loans and banking.
Making mendacious allegations about Jews controlling the economy is one of the typical examples of antisemitic stereotypes denounced in the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism. Attempts to blame the Jews for causing their own genocide is a clear case of Holocaust distortion as spelt out in the IHRA Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion".

The Italian cycling champion who saved Jews is given honorary Israeli citizenship

By Barry Davis*

Gino Bartali had already won the Tour de France once and the Giro d’Italia twice when he started taking the most dramatic bicycle rides of his life.
Bartali was an Italian cyclist who grew up in a Tuscan village and whose championships in the mid-1930s were the pride of the nation — and Benito Mussolini’s fascist government. But the admiration was not mutual: Bartali refused requests to dedicate his Tour de France championship to the dictator, and later began working to undermine fascism and save its victims.
In the early 1940s, Bartali worked secretly as a courier for the Italian resistance. Nicknamed the “Iron Man of Tuscany,” Bartali was famous for hours-long training rides through the Tuscan Hills, and he would hide documents in his bicycle frame and ferry them between resistance bases.
