The “discomposed reaction” recorded in Israel against the documentary film “Naza”, a film banned in the country, “is a revelation for all those who think of Israel as a normal state”, and “it is typical of those with a guilty conscience, because they know what they have done”.
This was stated by Francesca Albanese, United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, speaking via video link to the initiative ‘The courage of peace. «It’s not possible that they don’t know – he continued – they didn’t want to take it into consideration. Of course, it will be an everlasting stain on the State of Israel, and not only that, on all those who support it. I recently heard a debate on the bill that we mistakenly call the bill on anti-Semitism, that is a bill that prohibits criticism of the State of Israel, and I realize that it really seems that many people in Italy do not know it, it is a state in which apartheid exists against the Palestinians.” According to Albanese, “just as the twenty years of war on international terrorism have normalized the use of torture, absolutely prohibited worldwide, so the assault on Gaza has normalized genocide”, and in Italy in the face of this “we are either too indifferent or too lazy, because certainly there are impulses, there is in Italy a movement of great awareness thanks to the students, to many intellectuals, male and female workers, but it remains a minority movement, because if the country really had he become aware of what he was risking, he would have risen up against the complicity of the Italian State towards Israel.”
