Editors Note: This is a re-post from the news site Eye on Palestine. It is a reminder that every compassionate act, small or large, that is directed at saving the Palestinian people counts. A global tide is rising, home and abroad, against those who are attempting to eradicate the moral center of humanity. What follows below is yet another brick in the foundation that is being built to make the genocide in Gaza a painful memory from the past.
“This morning at 10, 5 activists of Free Palestine blocked the entrance to the Helicopter Division of the Leonardo SpA company. Blocking the main entrance to the headquarters and occupying the roof of one of the buildings, painting the Leonardo sign with red paint.
In the report published by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese on June 30, it emerged that Leonardo SpA, controlled by the Italian state, is one of the companies most involved in supplying Israel militarily during the genocide of the Palestinian people, and one of the companies that made more profit, closing 2023 and 2024 with record profits even thanks to the Gaza aggression.
Italy is still the third nation for war supplies to Israel, despite the ICC's genocide charges and arrest warrant for war crimes and against humanity hanging on Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister. To date, there are about 58 thousand confirmed deaths in Gaza. In a study published by Lancet in June 2024 it was estimated that more than 186 thousand Palestinians have died in Gaza since October 7, 2023 as a result of Israeli aggression and the blockade imposed on humanitarian aid.
Among those people, there are 50 thousand children killed or injured, one every 20 minutes.
According to Leonardo herself, in 2024 logistical support activities for the fleet of M-346 trainers for a total value of around seven million euros are planned.
It's unacceptable to support a criminal government that is committing a massacre and ethnic cleansing in front of the world just because it's economically convenient. Italians don't want to be complicit in this genocide.”
Added Bonus:
Eye on Palestine reported that some aid trucks trickled into Southern Gaza today. No further details were provided. “If you save one man, you save the world,” (a paraphrase from the Holy Quran).
“Palestinians receive flour following the entry of a number of aid trucks to the southern Gaza Strip.”
