Una cl\u00e1sica y torpe de la que mi familia se enorgullec\u00eda, consist\u00eda en invitar a un buen vecino a tomar caf\u00e9 a la casa; y a m\u00ed me correspond\u00eda ofrec\u00e9rselo bien salado.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n entonces corr\u00edan noticias falsas publicadas con esmero en las primeras p\u00e1ginas de los diarios capitalinos, que enmudec\u00edan a los incautos, quienes al d\u00eda siguiente eran presa de burlas de los m\u00e1s avispados.<\/p>\n<p>Como el domingo pasado fue el d\u00eda de los inocentes, mir\u00e9 con avidez de ni\u00f1o los diarios a ver si se manten\u00eda parte de la tradici\u00f3n de enga\u00f1os y me choqu\u00e9 con la noticia de un bombardeo, adivinen d\u00f3nde: en la misma vecindad donde hace tantos a\u00f1os los soldados romanos cumplieron fr\u00edamente la orden de Herodes. S\u00ed, el bombardeo fue en el mism\u00edsimo corredor de Gaza por donde pudieron haber huido Jes\u00fas, Mar\u00eda y Jos\u00e9 a Egipto para evitar que la tragedia los alcanzara.<\/p>\n<p>Confieso que por un momento albergu\u00e9 la esperanza de que se tratara de la m\u00e1s pesada de las bromas anunciadas por la prensa, pero me temo que esta nueva matanza, como muchas otras, ya no tiene reversa. Tal parece que estamos condenados a seguir imp\u00e1vidos ante el diario cumplimiento de la profes\u00eda b\u00edblica que anunci\u00f3 la muerte de los inocentes en Bel\u00e9n: \u201cVoz fue o\u00edda en Ram\u00e1, grande lamentaci\u00f3n, lloro y gemido; Raquel que llora a sus hijos y no quiso ser consolada porque perecieron\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Para no dejar la reflexi\u00f3n sobre los inocentes atada s\u00f3lo a la crueldad de esta guerra en Oriente, perm\u00edtanme una digresi\u00f3n literaria. La masacre de los ni\u00f1os de Bel\u00e9n de Jud\u00e1 sirvi\u00f3 a Saramago \u2014El Evangelio seg\u00fan Jesucristo\u2014, para llamar la atenci\u00f3n sobre el ego\u00edsmo, la cobard\u00eda y el remordimiento, pues \u2014seg\u00fan licencia que se permite a un novelista ganador del Premio Nobel\u2014, enterado Jos\u00e9 de la tragedia por venir y obcecado porque a su hijo y s\u00f3lo a su hijo Jes\u00fas nada le sucediera, lo \u00fanico que se le ocurri\u00f3 fue huir con su familia, sin dar aviso a ninguno de los vecinos que, en cambio, debieron padecer la matanza de sus hijos a manos del ej\u00e9rcito romano. Se trata de una reflexi\u00f3n sobre la solidaridad humana que bien vale la pena tener en cuenta en estos d\u00edas de regocijo y balances de fin de a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>Las madres de Bel\u00e9n entonces, las de los palestinos reci\u00e9n bombardeados, las de la Plaza de Mayo de hace poco y las de Soacha de hace a\u00fan m\u00e1s poco, parecen ser la imagen de un sufrimiento inmerecido y generado por la insensatez de los gobernantes desde que el mundo es mundo. A ellas, como aut\u00e9nticas v\u00edctimas que cargan el dolor de sus hijos asesinados, tambi\u00e9n deber\u00eda dedicarse un D\u00eda de las Santas Inocentes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biblic narration made by Mathew the Evangelist is concise: to the noise made by the magicians about the birth of the King of Jews, the jealous of Herodes appeared who saw his kingdom weaken.
