There's A Super Famous Singing Festival In Italy That Airs For A Week Every Year. This Year, One Of The

There's a super famous singing festival in italy that airs for a week every year. This year, one of the singers, Ghali, did some very remarkable things on that stage. Ghali was born in Italy from Tunisian parents, his career has been going on for a while, but this was his first time on that stage.

He made a song where he references Palestine where he sings: "how can you say everything is fine down here, where in order to trace borders with imaginary lines you bomb an hospital, for a piece of land or for a piece of bread there is no peace" . He also did a medley, singing also in arabic for the first time in the history of the festival.

Last night, during the final, he ended his performance asking to "stop the genocide!" I don't have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing pro-Palestine on italian media... and he used the biggest stage he could use to say that.

Today on a tv programme he was accused by the Isra*li ambassador of spreading hate and violence, to which he replied with those words in the following video (credits to the person who translated it here):

The italian TV broadcaster quickly posted a press release to distance themselves from this speech and to reiterate their whole support to Isr*el lol Towards the end of this tv programme, a few hours after Ghali said what you can hear in this video, they read the press release out loud. This is how Isra*li propaganda works everywhere, thanks to the complicity of our governments.

Just want to post about him because he really risked it all and I appreciate him incredibly for everything he did...if only everyone could do the same. And fuck italy and its fascist government.

I want to highlight something that is perhaps a bit of an oversight for many. Those of us who are engaging with the journalists reporting from Gaz an are able to do so because they are speaking in English. They are speaking in English which is not their mother tongue. They are not speaking for or to each other. From a trauma perspective, the strength it must take to translate your experiences is immense. This is more than them "just saying it in English" this is them begging for our help. When in trauma, the mother tongue is heavily relied on as a form of expression.

They are speaking English for us. So we hear them. So we understand them. So we stand beside them. And so that we can never say, "we had no idea!" Let us see what a privilege it is that they speak to us in our language and recognise it as a means of accessing the world. How grateful we should be, don't take their labour for granted as they do everything they can to survive.

Here's the point! They are all trying to get the word out in English for the world to hear, see and help them. Besides, they are all very young and have to deliver news like this. At a time when teenagers their age are having fun going to clubs and whatnot, meanwhile they (motaz and another journalist in Palestine) have to deliver the genocide that is happening in their country, in their homeland.

I'm sure we all know this, but some of you are still reluctant to talk about Palestine, still reluctant to stand up for Palestine.

fuck israel, israeli, joe biden, Netanyahu!!!

Never forget that these celebrities, including those not included on this list, and so many more remained silent and therefore have been either genocidal apologists or complicit to genocide and terror against Palestinian people. Selena Gomez. Taylor Swift. Ariana Grande. Beyonce. Everyone with huge platforms who have said NOTHING, ya'll are shameful.

Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.

We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

— Hazem, journalist residing in Rafah; 02.11.2024

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.

I will always remember the true story of a woman whose newborn died in her arms while she lived. She described how she helplessly put him to her chest, but no milk was being produced due to her own malnutrition. The horrific feeling of failing your own child.

I have zionists in my notes protesting that by sharing these staggering numbers we just want to make israel out to be "the worst" and uhh hear me out, israel has been working overtime to let the whole world see how evil and demonic they are by literally filming themselves committing their heinous crimes and gloating about them publicly... where have u been?? Israel's been advertising being the worst.
