Presentazione del libro di Diana Carminati
Intervengono:
Diana Carminati, già Docente di storia dell’Europa all’Università di Torino e scrittrice
Wasim Dhamash, saggista palestinese, Docente di lingua e letteratura araba all’Università di Cagliari
Vera Pegna saggista e scrittrice di origine ebraica sefardita, già militante di sinistra nel PCI e Fondazione Lelio Basso
Le fonti alla base di questo libro sono diverse: documenti originali tratti da una esperienza ventennale nell’attivismo italiano ed europeo di solidarietà con la Palestina, testimonianze, analisi di autori internazionali, ricerche sulle attività delle amministrazioni regionali per accordi economici, culturali e militari con Israele. L’obiettivo è rispondere ad alcuni nodi irrisolti sulla «questione israelo-palestinese». E soprattutto ci si domanda perché continua la resistenza armata dei giovani palestinesi e perché la soluzione «due Stati per due popoli» sia divenuta soltanto uno slogan sempre più irrealizzabile.
Spostando l’obiettivo sull’attivismo di solidarietà in Europa e in Italia, la ricerca fa emergere le cause di un declino della partecipazione, le responsabilità e le complicità politiche, economiche e militari. Attraverso un lungo e approfondito lavoro di ricerca, il libro affronta dunque questioni decisive di un conflitto drammatico e irrisolto del mondo contemporaneo.

“We are grief-striken and enraged to hear that Israel has killed beloved Palestinian professor, writer, poet, and activist Refaat Alareer. Refaat’s constant, English-language updates kept many around the world informed about Israel’s ongoing, genocidal assault on Gaza. Today, Israel killed Refaat, bombing his sister’s home and killing him, his brother, his sister & her 4 children.
Refaat watched as Israel killed many of his students before they killed him – insisting, as his organization @we_are_not_numbers always does, that they were full human beings with dreams and words and whole inner lives, not just casualties of Israel’s brutal violence. Now, we insist the same for Refaat. He was not a number. His death is a shocking reminder of the urgency to the call for a permanent ceasefire – not one more Palestinian life should be taken”.

“I am an academic. Probably the toughest thing I have at home is an Expo marker. But if the Israelis invade, if they charge at us, open door to door to massacre us, I’m going to use that marker, throw it at the Israeli soldiers … we have nothing to lose,”
Palestinian poet, writer, professor and activist Refaat al-Areer said during a livestream on The Electronic Intifada on the third day of Al-Aqsa Flood.
Today, he was killed in an Israeli airstrike — along with his brother, sister and her four children.
The last three lines of his poem in his pinned tweet from 1 November reads,
“If I must die,
let it bring hope,
let it be a tale.”
After threatening (https://t.me/PalestineResist/16870) to bomb it at the end of October, the IOF destroyed the central archive of the Gaza Municipality this week, destroying thousands of documents over 100 years old, including city history, urban plans, and letters. Most of the historical documents have been burned, with digital copies existing for some.
The IOF has destroyed a number of cultural centrals, universities (https://t.me/PalestineResist/16764?single), museums, and libraries during its ongoing genocide of Gaza. Among the destroyed libraries is Gaza’s largest public library, which housed 20,000 books. The Samir Mansour library and publishing house, which was bombed and rebuilt in 2021 following a solidarity campaign, was also bombed again recently; it amassed 300,000 books in its time. Among the destroyed cultural centers is the Rashad Shawa center in Gaza City, which contained a library and housed thousands of displaced Gazans before it was completely destroyed by IOF bombing.
Additionally, the Al-Qarara Cultural Museum in Khan Younis, southern #Gaza, which was founded in 2016 and includes over 3,500 pieces, was heavily damaged by IOF bombing this October, as well as the Rafah Museum and others.

Caption from the video @ the youtube channel of ‘The Guardian’:
Prominent activist Ahed Tamimi is one of 30 Palestinians released in the sixth swap between Israel and Hamas. The 22-year-old, who has become a symbol of resistance against Israel’s occupation, was seen embracing her mother after being released. Tamimi told reporters: ‘Our joy is diminished because there are many martyrs in Gaza.’ She went on to describe the conditions faced by Palestinians held inside the Israeli prison

After 8400 years some Israeli people are still considering some HUMANS are not worth a grave, a mourn, and respect.

Look. This second image [see above] shows Israeli police attacking mourners at Al Jazeera journalist’s funeral, Shireen Abu Akleh, “who was shot dead whilst covering a raid. Police fired tear gas and attempted to arrest mourners as they carried her coffin through the streets of Jerusalem. At one point the Israeli forces attacked the pallbearers, causing the coffin to slip and nearly crash to the ground” (SkyNews, May 13th, 2022, https://youtu.be/be8x0MhCzu8 and Guardian News, https://youtu.be/WHqytR_y0I8).
More. On Oct 6th, 2023, “Israeli occupation forces attacked the funeral procession of the young Palestinian Labeeb Dmaidi, 19 y.o., who was shot and killed late in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus at the hands of an Israeli colonist. Following the Friday noon prayers, Israeli military soldiers attacked thousands of mourners heading to the cemetery for burial. Forces attacked mourners with live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades, leading to violent confrontations. Two Palestinians were shot and injured; one by a rubber-coated steel bullet in the Jaw area, and the other by live fire in the foot. Dozens of others suffocated due to tear gas inhalation. Forces also attacked journalists at the scene, attacking them with stun grenades and tear gas canisters to prevent media coverage” (WAFA News Agency, https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/137946).

Also consider this third image [see above]. It seems like some Israelis would maybe prefer to mourn a dog’s death rather than that of Palestinian newborn babies. (https://slowforward.net/2023/11/30/5babies-found-dead/, Nov 30th, 2023).

la situazione in Palestina (che esiste, sappiano i lettori sionisti) è di genocidio, e quasi (quasi?) non ha precedenti – anche solo sul piano quantitativo, relativo alle armi impiegate e alle vittime innocenti in una data unità di tempo – per dimensioni e crudeltà.
di conseguenza slowforward, questo sito, che normalmente si occupa di ricerca letteraria, arte contemporanea, glitch, asemic writing, avanguardie e sperimentazione, darà anche notizie relative a quanto sta accadendo in quella parte del medio oriente, visto che una fetta maggioritaria dell’informazione mainstream è – al contrario – centrata su (e obbediente a) quelle che Norman Finkelstein chiama “lacrime di coccodrillo” di quella parte (si spera via via decrescente) dell’elettorato israeliano che ha voluto a capo del suo Stato una compagine di personaggi senza scrupoli.
si offrono qui di séguito alcuni link recenti ae meno recenti episodi e notizie che non hanno bisogno di particolari commenti, e che chiariscono limpidamente i termini delle vessazioni passate e dell’orrore in atto. materiali assai più numerosi sul momento presente possono essere rintracciati quotidianamente sulla bacheca del mio profilo fb.
