Da qualche anno mi sono accorta che quando qualcosa ricomincia non è bene chiedersi perché. Quando qualcosa ricomincia vuol dire che doveva farlo, semplicemente, perché non ce l'ha fatta a finire per davvero. Però una cosa non l'ho capita, ed è crudele e meravigliosa insieme: come mai la tristezza non si cancella e invece la felicità si dimentica così facilmente? Come mai, se mi sforzo di ricordare, percepisco il dolore e quasi mai la gioia? I giorni tristi non svaniscono, quelli allegri diventano déjà vu e ti ritrovi a pensare “ma io davvero sono stato contento, allora, o era in un'altra vita?”. Che peccato, certo.

Think on your feet

There's a super famous singing festival in italy that airs for a week every year. This year, one of the singers, Ghali, did some very remarkable things on that stage. Ghali was born in Italy from Tunisian parents, his career has been going on for a while, but this was his first time on that stage.

He made a song where he references Palestine where he sings: "how can you say everything is fine down here, where in order to trace borders with imaginary lines you bomb an hospital, for a piece of land or for a piece of bread there is no peace" . He also did a medley, singing also in arabic for the first time in the history of the festival.

Last night, during the final, he ended his performance asking to "stop the genocide!" I don't have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing pro-Palestine on italian media... and he used the biggest stage he could use to say that.

Today on a tv programme he was accused by the Isra*li ambassador of spreading hate and violence, to which he replied with those words in the following video (credits to the person who translated it here):

The italian TV broadcaster quickly posted a press release to distance themselves from this speech and to reiterate their whole support to Isr*el lol Towards the end of this tv programme, a few hours after Ghali said what you can hear in this video, they read the press release out loud. This is how Isra*li propaganda works everywhere, thanks to the complicity of our governments.

Just want to post about him because he really risked it all and I appreciate him incredibly for everything he did...if only everyone could do the same. And fuck italy and its fascist government.
