Rome, 31 May (LaPresse) – ‘A genuine diplomatic initiative is needed on the Palestinian issue, which cannot ignore sanctions: the same measures adopted against Russia must also be applied to Israel. When human rights and international law are violated, sanctions are a duty. If I were in government, I would have voted for them and proposed them in both cases.’ These were the words of Angelo Bonelli, AVS deputy and national co-spokesperson for Europa Verde, speaking at the Marathon for Gaza promoted by streamer Ivan Grieco. "There cannot be double standards: Putin is sanctioned, but Netanyahu is left unpunished, responsible – as Jewish historian Anna Foa has also written – for outright ethnic cleansing. A forced change in the geography and demography of Gaza is underway. Yesterday, I spoke with the only doctor who survived the execution of 16 doctors and paramedics in Gaza: he told me about the horror.‘ ’Italy,‘ he added, ’voted against the revision of the EU-Israel agreement, isolating itself from the majority of European countries. Why should those who devastate schools, hospitals, refugee camps and kill 20,000 children not be sanctioned?"
