MONI OVADIA: HYPOCRITES, THEY PRETEND THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME IS NETANYAHU, AFTER 77 YEARS OF PERSECUTIONS TO EXPEL AND ANNIHILATE THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
Gaza, il durissimo discorso di Moni Ovadia alla manifestazione pro Palestina
It’s too easy to put all the blame on Netanyahu alone: as if he were the exception, rather than the rule (the violent power that has been working for almost a century to expel and annihilate the Palestinians). “Netanyahu is the bad guy? And what did the others do? The Nakba was orchestrated by Ben Gurion, by Golda Meir. Ben Gurion had 500 Palestinian villages destroyed with a wave of his hand. Every trick was used to plunder the Palestinian people. There was a project that seemed beautiful, the reforestation of that land: it was called Keren Kemet Israel, but the truth is they wanted to hide all the devastation and bury the dead who could not be acknowledged.”
The voice of the Sephardic Jew Salomon Ovadia, known to all as Moni, rises up forcefully, as in a Greek theater: he expresses pain, indignation, pity. The outrage at the ongoing bloodshed rivals the fury at the whitewashed tombs: the European governments bowed to their master, the dormant citizens watching, unmoved, as an entire population is slaughtered, without anesthesia. The great Jewish intellectual warns: “Use the word genocide clearly, serenely—because that’s what this is. And it’s so plain that the first to break the taboo, in the Israeli milieu, was the top Holocaust expert in Israel, Professor Ramos Goldberg, who in a 20-line text repeated the word ‘genocide’ six times, and the last time wrote ‘intentional genocide.’”
Moni Ovadia insists: “It wasn’t a mistake, a loss of control. No, that was the plan: to erase a people, by any means possible; deporting Palestinians, destroying all their culture, all their education.” No discounts: “It goes right back to the origins, the problem: because when you present yourself with the slogan ‘a land without a people for a people without a land’ it means you want to get rid of the people you don’t see.” The people you don’t want to see, the ones you wish had never existed. The people you are literally erasing, even with the mocking mirage of the two states: with Gaza now reduced to rubble and the West Bank itself being devoured day by day by the savagery of the settlers.
One of them, the fanatic Yigal Amir, went so far as to kill Rabin, the only Israeli leader willing to make peace. “A well-constructed plot”: orchestrated by “the scum of the ultra-reactionary right,” unchecked by “a so-called left that is helpless, inept, lying, hypocritical, and complicit,” which has ceased to demand truth and justice. For Moni Ovadia, we have plunged “into the most atrocious barbarity”: the ongoing extermination tortures every day the remaining living consciences and condemns those who stay silent out of cowardice and opportunism.
“Humanity took centuries, millennia, to arrive at the declaration of rights...” Netanyahu: terra: greco: ebreo: genocidio: Ovadia: scopo: sconti: problema: Stati:
