Sadness and pain in the eyes for a denied childhood. For the laughter that there will not be. For games that will not be done.
Here is the “definition” of the children of Gaza.
Let’s go back humans
In the Tor Bella Monaca district, in the southern outskirts of Rome, a mural that invokes: “We return human”.
An evolution of the motto with which Vittorio Arrigoni, Italian activist and journalist brutally killed in 2011, closed all his articles. Arrigoni had moved to the Gaza strip to document the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Define “Child”
That humanity that we should have jealously guarded.
We have lost it when we listened to the words “call children”, pronounced by Eyal Mizrahi, president of the Amici d’Israel Federation, who spoke in the broadcast of Bianca Berlinguer is always Cartabianca last week.
The Zionist representative thus replied to Enzo Iacchetti, a news of Striscia la Notizia and Pro-Palestine activist, who asked him rhetorically if, among the 50 thousand deaths in Palestine-of which 20 thousand considered terrorists of Hamas-had also counted the children.
Tor Bella Monaca gives its definition
On the evening of Sunday 21 September, on the wall of via Domenico Parasacchi, in front of the Edoardo Amaldi scientific high school, in the heart of the Roman district, a mural appeared.
The work, signed by Gofy (also author of the “Monica Vitti Blu” in front of the Teatro di Tor Bella Monaca) and Namko, shouts all the cruelty that is inflicted every day to the Palestinian people, in particular to the boys and girls of Gaza.
The painting depicts two lonely children, from the shoulders, among the rubble of a destroyed house, of a safe place that is no longer there, while they observe their scourged people. Next to them, an empty pot and a backpack: symbols of food and education, two fundamental human rights but denied to the Gazawi.
In the foreground, turned towards us – towards the West – a child, or perhaps a girl (we are not known), fixes us. Behind him he reigns an urban landscape devastated by the flames. His sad gaze seems to implore us to “return human”.
The mural, legally built, is part of a social promotion project and in a permanent laboratory of Street Art in Tor Bella Monaca, Colorda, linked to the social center “which” and created in collaboration with the school schools, from primary to second grade secondary school.
