Fabio Fazio opens the season of Che tempo che fa sul Nove. “It’s still us. Thanks to Canale Nove for giving us a new home. Welcome to Che tempo che fa,” says Fazio in the first episode today, October 15, 2023, on the Discovery Group channel. “The summer was very tiring, it took us a long time to find the fish, but in the end we did it. And so now Che tempo che fa, twenty-first year, begins on Canale Nove. We still are. Thank you to those who have been waiting for us. Nothing has changed,” says Fazio.
Speech by Liliana Segre
In the studio, Senator Liliana Segre stands out among the guests. Speaking out about what’s happening in the Middle East takes “a lot of effort,” says the senator, a Holocaust survivor. “David Grossman has found extraordinary words that express the nightmare, the bitterness of the moment, the terror of the future, everything that an Israeli like him, a poet of peace, can say. When I entered the Senate, I immediately thought, “What I wanted to leave behind, beautiful and interesting, was this commission against hate speech,” he adds, referring to the words spoken shortly before by the writer David Grossman.
The violence of the last few days takes us “back to a distant time that I thought I would never experience again,” Senator Segre continues. Witnessing “this hatred shown on both sides” is “a terrible thing that doesn’t let me sleep and makes me feel incompetent and incapable of doing anything for anyone.” “There is a choice between hatred and revenge: I – he adds – made that choice very early and decided that I did not want to be like my murderers.”
