Italiano: Voci che non tremano - Cessate il fuoco, non la voce.

Scritto il 7 ottobre, registrato l’8, e aggiornato all’ultimo minuto il 9 ottobre 2025, dopo l’annuncio del cessate il fuoco a Gaza.Laura ci parla di un cessate il fuoco che i palestinesi hanno accolto tra la speranza e l’amarezza, mentre ancora nella notte cadevano bombe, e i giornalisti cercavano di capire cosa stesse davvero accadendo.Un accordo fragile, costruito sulla pelle dei palestinesi, con nomi che restano fuori dalle liste dei prigionieri liberati, come Marwan Barghouti, il “Mandela della Palestina”. In questa puntata racconto le piazze che tornano a riempirsi, la Freedom Flotilla fermata dall’IDF all’alba, e la denuncia contro il governo italiano alla Corte Internazionale di Giustizia.Ma anche quel silenzio che parla più di mille dichiarazioni, e la convinzione che lottare per la Palestina significhi lottare per il futuro dell’umanità tutta.Tra verità, rabbia e resistenza, questa voce non trema.https://lespresso.it/c/politica/2025/10/6/mossad-italia-israele-partita-calcio-udine/57386https://www.fanpage.it/live/gaza-israele-guerra-abbordaggio-flotilla-oggi-4-ottobre-manifestazioni/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/10/9/live-israel-hamas-agree-on-first-phase-of-gaza-ceasefire-dealhttps://pagellapolitica.it/articoli/fact-checking-meloni-porta-porta-genocidio-salarihttps://www.trtworld.com/article/eb3f75ccee94Music track: Enlivening by PufinoSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree To Use Music for Videos

Italiano: Voci che non tremano-Se bloccano la Flotilla, blocchiamo tutto.

È il 2 ottobre e Laura registra questo episodio mentre gli aggiornamenti arrivano in tempo reale: la Global Sumud Flotilla è stata intercettata nelle acque internazionali, in violazione del diritto marittimo. Israele commette di nuovo un crimine sotto gli occhi complici dei governi occidentali.Parte dalle parole di Giorgia Meloni e dal sostegno italiano al “piano di pace” di Trump — un piano imperiale che cancella la Palestina e che persino una parte della stampa internazionale definisce una minaccia, non una soluzione. Poi si sposta sul mare, sugli abbordaggi notturni, sulle navi italiane mandate non per proteggere ma per boicottare.Racconta il dossier illegale con cui Israele ha schedato associazioni italiane che manifestavano in piazza per Gaza. Denuncia la retorica tossica dei nostri politici e giornali, che attaccano gli attivisti invece di condannare i massacri.Infine, guarda alle piazze: da Roma a Milano, da Istanbul a Berlino, il vento sta cambiando. Mentre i governi normalizzano il genocidio, le strade si riempiono. Questo non è un episodio neutrale: è denuncia, narrazione e resistenza.Fonti principali consultate:Global Sumud Flotilla – aggiornamenti ufficiali: https://globalsumudflotilla.org/Today.it – Nave italiana e Flotilla: https://www.today.it/attualita/limite-global-sumud-flotilla-ora.htmlInternazionale – Hamas esamina piano Trump: https://www.internazionale.it/ultime-notizie/2025/09/30/hamas-esamina-piano-trump-gazaAl Jazeera – Analisi del piano Trump: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/30/have-trump-and-netanyahu-really-agreed-on-a-gaza-peace-plan-key-takeawaysIl Manifesto – Violazioni in acque internazionali: https://ilmanifesto.it/le-violazioni-di-israele-coperte-dagli-statiVDNews – Dossier israeliano sugli attivisti italiani: https://www.vdnews.it/diritti/2025/09/24/news/israele-controlla-gli-attivisti-in-piazza-per-gaza-20114669/Infoaut – ISIS e Gaza: https://www.infoaut.org/editoriali/israele-arma-lisis-a-gaza-alcune-riflessioni-sulle-forme-storiche-della-resistenza

WP: Silence Is Never Neutral-Gaza, Dissent, and the Grammar of Power

Ilke and Laura will talk about Gaza, Europe’s rearmament plans, and the shrinking space for protest — from the attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla to Trump’s disturbing speech at the UN. They’ll trace how power manipulates language, how fear replaces debate, and how silence becomes complicity.This is not the news — it’s a conversation about justice, resistance, and the need to act now.Poetry meets politics in a reflection that asks: is it too late, or just late enough to act?⚠️ Disclaimer: We’re not journalists or experts. These are personal reflections, critical opinions, and stories told from a place of empathy and resistance.
