Paralyzed in a Glacial Grip: The Hidden Wars Between Mind and Muscle

Alemanno asks not to turn our heads in the face of Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. ‘Today, in front of the symbolic monument of the Ara Pacis, as the Stop the War Committee and as the Independence Movement we took a symbolic action to ask for the commitment of the Italian Government to stop the massacres carried out by Netanyahu throughout the Middle East. A group of young militants displayed a banner on the Tiber in front of the Ara Pacis with the words “First Gaza, now Lebanon: let’s stop Netanyahu, let’s stop the massacres”. We believe that the ban on demonstrating for peace in Palestine imposed by the Ministry of the Interior is unacceptable, under the pretext of terrorist dangers which, if there are any, must be sought very far from those who openly demonstrate. If anything, unmotivated and political bans are the ones that can cause uncontrolled reactions and disorder”. This was stated by Gianni Alemanno, national secretary of the Independence Movement. “We cannot turn our heads in the face of the criminal Israeli bombings of Gaza and Lebanon, as is making the Meloni Government, capable only of obeying the orders of the Biden Administration and the European Union. The Italian people, and in particular young people, have the right to ask for Peace and defend the rights of peoples, demanding economic sanctions and a military embargo against Israel to force Netanyahu into an immediate ceasefire. Over 40,000 lives have been lost in less than a year, how many more innocent people will have to die before we can stop this massacre?” he concluded
