Luigi Marattin called the incident that occurred in Reggio Emilia offensive and ridiculous, claiming that some teachers and educators from American Jewish schools visiting to study the local educational model were pressured by pro-Palestinian activists to sign a statement against the Israeli occupation in Gaza. He stated that Reggio Emilia was a world excellence in early childhood education and would remain so despite the incident. Marattin contested the association between Jewish and Israeli identity, recalling that, according to what he wrote, 20% of the Israeli population is Muslim and enjoys the same rights and duties of citizenship. He argued that confusing the two identities was a form of religious discrimination. He also questioned why, if the intent was to reaffirm the values of peace and tolerance of the Reggio model, Muslim, Turkish, or American visitors had not been asked to dissociate themselves from the actions or policies of their respective governments. Marattin asked if anyone had ever been asked to condemn the terrorist attack of October 7, which he called criminal, and criticized those who referred to it as resistance during demonstrations in various Italian cities over the weekend, referring to the participants with a pejorative term. Finally, he stated that he was left speechless by the defense of the incident by prominent national figures of the center-left. #ReggioEmilia #Scuola #Educazione (translated)

At the end of October 2023, I was at the border with Gaza and visited Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutzim closest to the Strip. The account by Giubilei triggers the confrontation, who remembers his visit to Israel a few weeks after the massacre: "At the end of October 2023, I was at the border with Gaza and visited Kfar Aza, one of the kibbutzim closest to the Strip. I saw with my own eyes what the terrorists of Hamas had done. There was still the smell of blood, I saw the places where Hamas burned Israeli children, and I recounted everything in a report for the Giornale." #Piazzapulita #Gaza #Israele (translated)

Luigi Marattin responded to Corrado Formigli, who in the Corriere had described as "an embarrassing confusion" what the deputy said on Piazzapulita. Marattin mentioned that he has been reading investigative journalism and historical studies on conflicts for decades and cited Il Legionario, a book about Giustino De Vuono, arguing that its author documented the presented theses. Marattin accused the documentary Naza of making unfounded accusations. He cited the bombing which, according to the mentioned reconstruction, would have killed 500 civilians, stating that no evidence of either the attack or the death toll had been presented. He argued that the only source was Hamas's word, treated as truth, while Israeli accounts were dismissed as propaganda. He added that he had said on air that, in wartime, he did not consider the reports of the involved parties reliable and preferred those from independent observers. For this reason, he described Israel's decision not to allow foreign journalists into Gaza, even at their own risk, as a mistake. Marattin accused Formigli of not listening to this point and of silencing dissenters, imposing his own opinion. Finally, he wrote that he would have liked to read a "mea culpa" from the host for his statements about Israeli children on October 7. #giornalismodinchiesta #storia #media (translated)

Today's date marks the tragic anniversary of the despicable attack perpetrated by Hamas against numerous Israeli civilians. Many young people, including others of different nationalities, were cowardly struck, taken hostage, or deprived of life while gathered for a festive occasion. Others were brutally killed or kidnapped in their homes, with no mercy shown to children and the elderly. Acts of terrorism can never be justified or overlooked. They will remain, for all peoples, a painful warning so that the barbaric and uncivilized scourges of terrorism, antisemitism, and every form of hatred based on ethnicity and religion are always condemned and firmly rejected, in the Middle East and around the world. This is stated by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. #Pace #Terrorismo #Israele (translated)

Mauro wrote that the massacre on October 7 had been organized by Hamas to provoke the Israeli response and fuel propaganda about "genocide" and hatred towards Israel in the world. He described the operation as planned and successful. He argued that the word "genocide" had appeared on social media and in the media a few days after the first Israeli airstrikes, when the casualties were still only a few dozen, and that it had been repeated since then despite, in his view, facts and numbers contradicting it. He described those who used it in derogatory terms. According to Mauro, Israel had initiated a war to eliminate Hamas, regarded as an existential threat, taking into account the death of many innocent civilians. He claimed that Hamas used them as human shields and tools of propaganda and quoted Sinwar's words: "These sacrifices are necessary." He added that Hamas wanted many deaths, while Israel sought to limit them. Mauro acknowledged that atrocities had also been committed by Israelis during the war, linking them to the effects of war, fear, and revenge. He argued that it was important to consider the overall picture rather than the actions of individuals. #Guerra #Israele #Hamas (translated)
