Interesting.

I was under the impression that tests on the Maltese sample resulted in a high percentage of Phoenician DNA.

[Daphne – Yes, via Tunisia by way of Sicily, though. The ‘Arabs’ who colonised Sicily and then Malta were actually Tunisians of Carthaginian descent, who had converted to Islam. The fabled Phoenician blood of the Maltese is a rather more prosaic Tunisian.]

‘Memes of Orientalism’? I believe it is more Sicilian blood. Even the DNA testing of the Maltese has shown that.

Mrs Ellul came to Malta some 40 years ago, working for the German industrialist, Mr Holldobbler, to set up the Playmobil factory. She never left.

She was entitled to Maltese citizenship in her own right, and not only because she has been married to a Maltese man for many years and has a Maltese family.

The government has a two-pronged objective with this “traditur” name-calling of the NP:

i. They get to include the NP EPs in the EU vote isolation that belongs only to the Maltese Labour Party; Theirs is false reasoning since the NP EPs duty is to vote for our European interests and not those of the EPs of the Labour Party. What cheek.

The fact that the Labour Party is in Government is only valid because it is due to the actions of this party that the voting at the EU parliament was called for in the first place.

To have expected Casa and Metsola to vote for the Government is tantamount to expecting the Opposition to rubberstamp the Labour Party’s fraudulent omission from its “manifest.”

ii. The term “traitor/ traditur”, is currently still attached to Mintoff. Now, as Mintoff’s psychological successor, the only title that interests Muscat is “Salvatur.” Their twin biographies were published in quick succession of each other to:
a) attempt to glorify the both – with the one getting a free ride on the other (piggy-backing is the method), and
b) further create this linking and transference.

The only hitch, despite the publication and exhibition attempt to overcome it, it is that the “traditur” part lingered on.

Therefore the need to project this and transfer the label on to the NP.

The result however, is that instead of transferring it anywhere, not only has it remained in place with his own presence reminding the wider electorate of its original use, but he has now succeeded in earning and retaining this title for himself in the wider European context.

Malta and the Maltese people unfortunately can make little progress, unless they all emigrate to modern and progressive western nations.

It is always one step forward and two step backwards.

That mentality seems to be written in stone.

I have serious doubts that we are Europeans.

The memes of Orientalism are too strong on the population on both Maltese islands.

The Italian guy knew that he was being filmed, and threw a ‘prudent’ insult which originally would have been “Andate a scopare una gallina”.

Nehhi l-erba’ soldi.

If he is the thief , then the PL are the fixers

The government called David Casa and Roberta Metsola traitors, then in the same breath take the side of an Italian who insulted all the Maltese people and called them thieves.
