Not in Our Name





Israel's reaction in Gaza was just

Silvio Berlusconi



With the recent visit of Prime Minister Berlusconi to Israel, the Italian government has made our country complicit in the oppression of the Palestinian people and in the possible escalation of war in the Middle East.

Italy is officially supplying armaments, economic investment, and scientific collaboration to anIsraeli government, condemned by international institutions for the construction of the segregation wall, for war crimes in Gaza and for the colonial occupation of the Palestinian territories.


We, as Italian citizens, do not accept complicity in this policy of oppression and war.

For these reasons

  • We call for the revocation of the military, commercial, scientific and cultural agreements between the Italian and Israeli institutions.
  • We call for the ending of the Italian and European participation in the shameful embargo of the Palestinian population of Gaza who have been under siege for 4 years.

There is no lasting peace without justice.
