Let's save the survivors of Gaza! Let's launch a major 'Rescue Operation'

Let's save them! There's nothing else to do. Words - not even those of condemnation - don't stop the extermination. 

We must go and save them! This is what we ask the Italian government!

The recognition of the State of Palestine is not enough. Italy must recognise it, but it's not enough. 

What is needed now is that we go and save the people who are about to be exterminated.

We ask to immediately deploy the two Italian aircraft carriers "Cavour" and "Garibaldi" and all the ships we have available. Let's load them with aid and give our military the task of delivering them to the UN agencies' personnel and civil society organizations that still resist in the Gaza cemetery. Let's ensure that all children can receive them. No one excluded.

The Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs should board those ships, direct the rescue operations, and ask Macron, Merz, Sanchez, Starmer, and other European heads of state to do the same.

In the face of the European Union's inaction, Italy should immediately launch a major "Rescue Operation" for the children of Gaza.

Let's respond to the unthinkable with the unthinkable.

Let's do what hasn't been done yet: save the lives of the survivors!
