We want to immediately declare our sympathy for Rula Jebreal; Too bad she thinks she’s a journalist.
Anyway. Yesterday, in Montecitorio, Rula Jebreal with Sigfrido Ranucci and Giuseppe Conte, three exponents of the left that has long accompanied its voters by the hand to vote for the right, presented her new book entitled Genocide. Very nice; then I read it afterwards.
And speaking freely about how much freedom is lacking in Italy, Jebreal said that Ranucci is “a guardian of democracy” (and who can deny it?), that he is a national hero (since Brecht’s absence, nations have always needed heroes) and that they put a bomb in front of his house to silence him, “as they did with the 280 Palestinians killed in Gaza because they told the truth”.
It was an impossible task to decline the Ranucci case on Gaza. She succeeded.
It has nothing to do with it. But Enzo Iacchetti has a book to launch. Alessandro Di Battista has a book to launch. Rula Jebreal has a book to launch. And we too now have three books to launch.
Jebreal, who we recognize as having momentarily overshadowed Francesca Albanese, is obsessed with genocide, like Berizzi with fascism, Tozzi with the bridge over the Strait and Gruber with the right-right. They only talk about that. Fanatics are always verbose.
And for
the rest, thinking of Ranucci and Jebreal, is true: freedom of speech is part of the quality of a democracy. But freedom of speech, without quality journalism, is just the freedom to do biased journalism.
