In questi giorni scienziati della School of Plant Sciences dell’università di Tel Aviv hanno annunciato di aver registrato con speciali microfoni sensibili agli ultrasuoni gli urli di dolore che le piante emettono quando sono tagliate o quando mancano di acqua. A Gaza non ci sono microfoni.

Il silenzio di Gaza, Giorgio Agamben

[...] I wonder if Israel’s leaders have an idea of the tsunami of horror they are unleashing on the global psychosphere. A month of uninterrupted horror which first of all erased the horror of October 7th from the collective psyche, then produced the conditions for a monstrous mutation in the perception of Israel by the planetary mind.

[...]

And above all, the state of Israel is today isolated throughout the world: Young people are identifying themselves with the Palestinians, not so much for historical and political reasoning, but for the perception of a common, claustrophobic condition. The common absence of the future makes Palestinians the vanguard of the last generation.

We want three things. We want to be free. We want to be able to live a normal life. We want peace. Is that too much to ask? We are a peace movement consistent of young people in Gaza and supporters elsewhere that will not rest until the truth about Gaza is known by everybody in this whole world and in such a degree that no more silent consent or loud indifference will be accepted.

This is the Gazan youth’s manifesto for change!

We will start by destroying the occupation that surrounds ourselves, we will break free from this mental incarceration and regain our dignity and self respect. We will carry our heads high even though we will face resistance. We will work day and night in order to change these miserable conditions we are living under. We will build dreams where we meet walls.

We only hope that you – yes, you reading this statement right now! – can support us.

We want to be free, we want to live, we want peace. FREE GAZA YOUTH!

And now when [the United States] talk about the phaseout — and here, this is a very, very interesting fact that we see — they’re saying Israel should perhaps target Hamas fighters, Hamas tunnels, and assassinate their leaders. That’s what they’re saying. So, it begs the question: If this is the way to fight Hamas, why did they go on and destroy Gaza, leading to tens of thousands of casualties the past 10 weeks? There is clearly another way to fight this war, which is going after Hamas, not going after Gazans. But from the beginning, Amy — and this is, again, very important to underline — is the fact that Gaza has been the target of this war, not Hamas. And if you look at the statistics, Gazans — the journalists, the doctors, the nurses, the teachers, the academics, the children — have been the main victims of this war. Hamas fighters, Hamas militants have been the collateral damage in this war. For the past 10 weeks, it was Gaza that’s being decimated, its civil infrastructure being decimated. It’s been a war on hospitals, on schools, on mosques and, yes, a war on children.

Some things, however, remain mysterious and unspectacular, and in this, I think, there is hope. The fate of the world relies on the promise of the negative, just as we can rely that sight is not the only sense.
