Ad alcune generazioni, compresa la mia, è stato concesso di passare i propri 20 anni celebrando la vita e la spensieratezza.

Ad altre - come quella di questi ragazzi americani (e i loro coetanei inglesi ) - è toccato combattere e morire affinché le generazioni successive in Europa potessero evitare di farlo, e fossero libere di vivere la vita come un 20enne dovrebbe fare.

Le radici dell’Europa (come baluardo di libertà e democrazia) non sono solo a Ventotene, ma anche su queste spiagge.

E se, 80 anni dopo, questo cimitero è ancora visitato ogni giorno da migliaia di persone, allora forse siamo in tanti a sapere, e sapere bene, da che parte stare ogni volta che le asperità della storia ci pongono davanti a degli interrogativi.

E il sacrificio di questi ragazzi non sarà mai, mai vano.

Ecco il mio 25 Aprile: Cimitero Canadese di Ortona, la Stalingrado d’Italia sulla Linea Gustav - fiume Moro.
Vado ogni anno a trovare questi ragazzi la cui età varia tra i 18 ed i 29 anni, Canadesi, Inglesi, Australiani, Neozelandesi, Sud Africani, qualche Indiano;

#Bologna5 al “sicuro” di fianco alla Questura. Parcheggiato sotto lo sguardo di decine di telecamere, rimane la posizione migliore per parcheggiare in tranquillità onde scoraggiare altri atti vandalici.
Non c’è nulla di sicuro però, anche perché in quella posizione due bravi colleghi tassisti bolognesi, nel passato, si sono già sfogati tagliandomi tre gomme.
Se vogliamo vedere ci sono dei lati positivi:
1- una gomma non l’hanno forata.
2- sono stati beccati dalle telecamere e quindi stanno avendo qualche “grattacapo legale”
3- il loro intento intimidatorio, per suggerirmi di stare zitto, ha avuto l’effetto contrario. 💪

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

@Rotelli_MD The Lancet stimò in 186.000 I morti plausibili "and even more" a Gaza.
Questo a proposito di fake e propaganda.
Non riguarderà la salute pubblica (non direttamente la nostra) ma la credibilità di The Lancet si.

1/22 La domanda👇richiede una risposta articolata. La risposta breve è: non si concilia. Inquadrare la vicenda con il solito schema destra/sinistra non ha senso, e sono indecenti sia le posizioni alla Musk, che la usa per attaccare solo Starmer👇

@BastardChiton L'apertura di un fascicolo "contro ignoti" riguardo la correttezza delle procedure di arresto del trafficante parla da solo e, almeno a me, appare chiaro che si vuole arrivare allo scambio dell'ostaggio e salvarsi (si fa per dire) la faccia con gli USA frignando come al solito.

[H. Ferdosy | ح. فردوسی @AuthorHFerry]

Yesterday I wrote a rather irate post about Cecilia Sala, the Italian Journalist who's been arrested in Iran, which I decided to delete. I still believe in what I said, but I think I could put it better.

First and foremost, I think arresting journalists for journalism is a despicable act. You can extend that to arresting any innocent person with false charges. And I the Islamic Regime must release Cecilia (and any wrongly imprisoned individual) immediately, and unconditionally.

However. There's a very important lesson to be learned here. We Iranians have been cautioning foreign journalists against traveling to Iran and still, for some reason, every single one of them seems to want to have this hard awakening independently.

Why can I not muster much sympathy for Cecilia? Here are my reasons:

(1) She ignored the warnings of the Iranian people, who know what their government is like. She decided to trust said government over us, the people. She assumed Iran was safe for travelers and journalists, when its own people told her it wasn't.

(2) She didn't go to report on the brutality of the regime. Her past work shows that her agenda was to "prove" that Iran is not as bad as the "Western media tells you" (i.e. regime propaganda). She went there to downplay our suffering.

(3) Her arrest is part of the regime's hostage diplomacy; a strategy it's been using for decades. The regime arrests innocent Western citizens, and exchanges them for either billions of money, or the release of its war criminals from the hostages' home countries. That means her arrest has been a very avoidable win for the regime. It will either get more funds and means to suppress Iranians and wage wars in the region, or it will deny Iranians justice for their murderers. In a way, she now officially has blood on her hands by being a part of the machinery of hostage diplomacy.

(4) She's going to emerge a hero while tens of thousands of Iranians will continue suffering in the same prison system. Besides, I guarantee you she's been treated much more humanely than many Iranians currently in prison. Because she's a bargaining chip.

(5) I think this has been a valuable lesson for her. You can't put a price on good education.

Now, what do I hope?

First of all, as I said before, I hope she's released soon. However, as an Iranian, I cannot condone any scenario where her release involves giving the regime anything in return. The only scenario I can accept is for the West to pressure the regime into releasing her with 0 conditions. That's the only way to disarm the regime's hostage diplomacy instead of encouraging it. It's not only good for Iranians. It's good for the world in that it will lead to less hostage-taking.

Secondly, I hope when she's released (and she will be, one way or another), she'll start advocating for the Iranian people instead of their terrorist regime. I hope she uses the lesson she's learned and will be the loudest voice against regime apologists, both domestically and abroad. I hope she becomes a champion for her current voiceless inmates, just like @KMooreGilbert, whose efforts I hold in high regard.

And I hope journalists of all people start being the smart ones, and heeding our warnings. I hope they stop traveling to Iran, and instead be our voice from abroad, where they can freely do so. I hope the same lesson doesn't have to be repeated for every single journalist out there.

Don't travel to Iran! Stop repeating the same mistake.
