It is a cry of denunciation, of horror, of peace, what Christian family He launches in the number from tomorrow to newsstands, with an investigation into the indiscriminate massacre of the civilian population in Gaza. The number opens with a cover photograph, raw in its simplicity, in which the children’s looks speak in search of that food symbol of an increasingly uncertain future if not almost now absent.
To those eyes gives voice the director, Don Stefano Stimamiglio in his opening editorial: “Gaza has become hell on the ground – he made his debut -. Nobody can just justify or minimize this systematic massacre of Innocenti in the name of the war on Hamas terrorists. The government of Israel, with its missiles provided by us Westerners, sweeps everything: schools, hospitals, whole families. And this without now the slightest sense of measure and, above all, without that sense of pietas that constitutes us all members of the same human family (…). Israel’s weapons killed even more than 200 journalists, whose role is to inform, document, remove the veil from so much cruelty. We also dedicate these intense pages to them. Now enough! ».
The investigation starts from an analysis of the supplies of weapons in Israel by the West: in the dedicated service, it is shown that the United States are the first supplier of weapons, with 69% of war imports by Israel (3.8 billion), followed by Germany with 30% and, third, Italy. A minimum, the Italian but significant share, supports the weekly, because they are M-346 training planes and flight simulators on which the Israeli drivers are trained, as well as naval artillery, which the Navy uses to devastate the part of the Gaza coast crowded with children.
The Italian government, he explains Christian familyhe announced that he blocked any agreement after 7 October 2023, although the previous agreements were honored, as certified by Istat in March 2024 in relation to the supplies of the whole 2023 hunting dots.
Through the testimonies of Palestinian journalists and writers, the report then highlights the devastating consequences of the conflict: Huda Skaik, a young Palestinian writer, has been forced to move eleven times after 7 October 2023: «Nobody knows if he will resist until the end. I am saved, but until when? Uncertainty destroys you. The shops are empty and the prices unsustainable – he tells with so much emotion, but also a strong hope -. What happens here is difficult to imagine. But despite everything, I continue to study and dream of the future ».
Since 2019, however, Ahmed Alnaouq, Palestinian from Gaza, has lived in Great Britain. There “public opinion has changed a lot. According to polls, 70% of the population now ask for the fire. Israel is losing the support of the people. From the international establishment, however, there is no real will to force Israel to the fire. “
Omar El Akkad, a Canadian naturalized Egyptian journalist: “Nobody condemns the extermination in progress because its inhabitants are not considered people – Akkad reports – from the media, the Palestinian tragedy is told in a” disarticulus “tragedy. When a hospital is bombed in Ukraine, I expect that who made it explode and in what circumstances to be told. When a hospital is bombed in Palestine I usually feel only a building has exploded ».
For Gideon Levy, Israeli writer and journalist son of Jews who fled in 1939 by Czechoslovakia, “the real problem is Netanyahu, who will be remembered as the Destroyer of Gaza. The international community should do with us as with Russia: to impose sanctions ».
In the end, Christian family It collects the appeal to the Christians of the vicar of the custody of the Holy Land, Father Ibrahim Faltas: “Help us with your presence and come back like pilgrims – says the Egyptian priest -. You can enter and exit freely. If you come again you will give a concrete sign of solidarity to the brothers and sisters who await you here ».
The initiative of Christian family will be launched on social media today with the hashtag #Gazabasta! to encourage the involvement of the public and readers.
