“We Westerners are responsible for what is happening in Palestine because we have been complicit in the policies of the Israeli governments.” “Free Palestine, with resistance until victory.” “War out of history”. This is the tenor of some banners that this afternoon, Wednesday 11 October, stand out in Piazza XX Settembre, theater of the demonstration in support of the Palestine a few days after the outbreak of war with Israel.
In Bologna at least four hundred people met around 6.00 pm and then, after some interventions at the microphone, left in procession from the bus station towards Via Irnerio (with some traffic slowdown given the temporary closure of the road), and then arrived in Piazza Verdi where everything ended with some interventions. All without public order problems. There are Palestinian students, associations and organizations, university collectives and above all the many young people stand out. Among them also Alessandra: “We are here regardless of the fact that public opinion and the media pay greater attention to Hamas, which is specious and hypocritical, and we remain here to support the Palestinian people.”
“Sirens and explosions: I’ll tell you what Jerusalem is like these days”
Israel-Gaza, the reactions of the Bolognese communities: “Hamas does not represent the Palestinians”
Among the various interventions, also that of Assopace Palestina: “Enough with the violence and enough with the causes that trigger the violence, that is, Israel’s impunity. We as the international community are responsible for this explosion of violence and continuous destruction of two communities Responsible because we have been silent and complicit with the illegal policy that Israel has been pursuing for years, keeping a population under military occupation, destroying homes, stealing land, water and resources from the Palestinians, arbitrarily imprisoning adults and children in contempt of the most basic rights, killing cold blooded unarmed young people, applying collective punishment and retaliation, trampling on international law and human rights, in an apartheid state that imposes military occupation, segregation and a criminal siege on Gaza”.
