“Gaza Hospital Massacre, Those Who Only Believe in Hamas.” This is the graphic used by Nicola Porro during his usual editorial on the October 18 episode of Stasera Italia, the Rete4 talk show. The journalist focuses on the positions of the Italian left after the rocket hit the hospital in the Gaza Strip, the darkest moment since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out on October 7. “The Israeli army bombed a hospital full of medical staff, wounded and displaced people. According to the Palestinians, 500 people died. It is a war crime without any justification,” Porro recalls the words of Nicola Fratoianni of the Italian Left, who then shows another message on Twitter, that of Laura Boldrini: “In these hours the news has arrived that the Al-Ahli Arabi, run by the American Baptist Church in Gaza City, was bombed. It appears there are at least 500 deaths. Two refugee camps in Gaza were also hit today with dozens of deaths and injuries. We condemn the collective punishment of an entire people, this is barbarism. It is a method that can never be used by a constitutional state.”
The moderator then quotes the sentences of another member of the Democratic Party, Secretary Elly Schlein, who commented on the hospital affair as follows: “With the same clarity with which the Democratic Party condemned the Hamas attacks, we called on Israel to implement humanitarian law to respect.” . Palestinian lives are no less valuable.” Porro then attacks the left: “The former president of the chamber should have experience in foreign policy and foreign relations. He has already taken over Hamas’s position. It’s really unbelievable how we took a position, the way this player looked for a foul in the penalty area. “The Israelis must have done this.” We suspend judgment, but we ask ourselves whether the evidence presented by the Israelis today is worth anything, whether it is even worth the benefit of the doubt before making these statements? A little bit of cold last night was worth it too. The streets of the Middle East today would have been in a different situation, there is incredible news of attacks on embassies.”
