Rai, Foa: «But what racism, people just want to be masters in their own home"

Rai, Foa: «Ma quale razzismo, people just want to be masters in their own home»Of Giorgio Sigona
The president of Rai Marcello Foa takes a swipe at the do-good rhetoric: there is no xenophobia in the actions of European populist leaders towards migrants and Roma. People's attitude of suspicion towards migrants "is based on direct social experience", he said in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Instead, he added, the persecution of Jews and other minorities during World War II "was based on a racist ideology". The truth, Foa specified, is that in many Western countries "people believe they are no longer masters of their own home and I think it is a legitimate feeling". There are – he added – «many international organizations that have enormous powers and no one knows anything about them, this is why what we call sovereignism is a self-defense mechanism". According to the president of Rai, writes Haaretz, sovereignism means greater border controls to stop the flow of migrants and fewer restrictions on economic and budgetary policies, but also that sovereignty must be returned to the people and taken away from international institutions, including the EU. Sovranismo, Foa argues, it does not mean nationalism. «Nationalists – he explains – believe that their country is superior and has some moral primacy, economic and cultural on other countries. I reject nationalism, it's dangerous, it belongs to another era and has only caused damage", Foa continued, according to which sovereignism wants to return to nation-states that can have trade and dialogue relations between themselves without interference from international mechanisms.

How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?

How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?

Monstrous. Frightening. Wicked. It's strange like today, in Middle East, the words are simply missing. Sixty Palestinians dead. In one day. Two thousand four hundred injured, more than half from live ammunition. In one day. These numbers are an outrage, an escape from morality, a source of infamy for every army.
And we should believe that the Israeli army is that of the “purity of weapons”? And we have another question to ask. If I'm there this week 60 Palestinian deaths per day, what will happen if there are any next week 600? O 6.000 next month? Israel's squalid justifications (and the crude American response) they raise exactly this question. If we can now accept a massacre of this magnitude, how long our immune system can handle in the days, in the weeks and months to come? Read More

Last Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed in a speech to the nation that the Israeli intelligence services managed to get hold of the secret dossier relating to the Iranian nuclear program and that a copy of this dossier was handed over to the Americans. These are numerous documents that, in the opinion of the Israeli prime minister, they would prove that Tehran intends to acquire atomic weapons, thus clearly violating the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action of the 2015, or the so-called “5+1 agreement” (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany), according to which Tehran would have to suspend its nuclear program in exchange for the cessation of the economic sanctions imposed on Iran precisely because this program would cease.
