Brussels \u2013 The film “Naza” is being screened at the European Parliament, and the main aim of the screening \u2013 organised this afternoon (10 November) by MEPs Cecilia Strada of the PD (S&D), Benedetta Scuderi of the Green Left Alliance (AVS), Lynn Boylan of the Irish Sinn F\u00e9in (The Left), and Abir Al-Sahlani of the Swedish Centre Party (Renew Europe) \u2013 is to keep the spotlight on Gaza. “Frankly, it\u2019s difficult to obtain something in here,\u201d, but \u201c<\/span><\/span>we must keep talking about Gaza and the West Bank, we must continue to raise awareness in every possible way<\/strong><\/span><\/span> the scale and systematic nature of what is an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people,<\/strong>\u201d commented Strada<\/strong> on the sidelines of the event. <\/span><\/span>The film by Israeli directors Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham for Scuderi “<\/span><\/span>offers a glimpse into systems of mass killing<\/span><\/span> which Israel imposes on the Palestinian population every day<\/span><\/span> and tells us about genocide in the guise of technology and artificial intelligence,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>an even more brutal and clinical form of genocide that decides who to kill based on an algorithm.” An element that becomes \u201c<\/span><\/span>abominable when we consider that Israel is involved in Horizon research projects,<\/span><\/span> which may lead to the development of these technologies,<\/span><\/span> is covered by defence and trade agreements<\/span><\/span> <\/span>and that is why it is important to bring Naza into the European Parliament<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span>because what Europe is doing with these agreements, with those who commit genocide,<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong>using any kind of technology, is absolutely abominable,<\/strong>” continued Scuderi. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the change of government in Israel, “I\u2019m not optimistic,\u201d, Strada remarked. \u201cThe<\/span><\/span> problem isn\u2019t a head of government like Netanyahu was, but <\/span><\/span>a system \u2013 a system of apartheid and supremacism that oppresses the population,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>even the non-Jewish Israeli population itself. <\/span><\/span>The problem is a system that did not come into being on 7 October and has been in place for much longer.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>So it is unlikely that a system could change simply with a change of government,<\/strong>\u201d she pointed out. “<\/span><\/span>Of course we have hopes \u2013 who doesn\u2019t? \u2013 but we\u2019re sticking to our principles:<\/span><\/span> we must continue to call on the European Commission<\/span><\/span> to suspend the EU\u2013Israel Association Agreement,<\/span><\/span> of<\/span> all arms shipments to and from Israel, and all funding. And,<\/span><\/span> speaking of technology, let us remember the use of Israeli surveillance technologies<\/span><\/span> which European governments exploit to spy on journalists, activists, and human rights defenders in our countries,\u201d continued Strada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scuderi agrees and says that \u201ca change of government is not a change of system\u201d and \u201ca<\/span><\/span> change of system occurs if there is the political will to recognise that there is a system of oppression and occupation<\/span><\/span> and<\/span> the will to change it. But we are definitely not heading in that direction.”<\/span><\/span> What is essential, according to Scuderi, is \u201c<\/span>an international community<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/strong>to exert pressure to ensure that systemic change takes place.<\/strong>“<\/span><\/span> For this reason, <\/span><\/span>according to Strada, the EU and Italy should \u201c<\/span>simply do their duty and fulfil the obligations arising from international law.” It is a matter of \u201cdoing<\/span><\/span> what we expect to be done when we are faced with a war criminal. For<\/span><\/span> example, with Putin, what do we do?<\/span><\/span> We do everything we can to stop him; we suspend trade, we suspend association agreements,<\/span><\/span> lobbyists are prevented from coming here to Parliament to influence political decision-making processes. Regarding the Israeli government, not a single action has been taken<\/span><\/span>, apart from a few laughable sanctions against individual violent settlers <\/span><\/span>\u2018when the problem is the settlement system,” she explained. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

In this context, according to Scuderi, “the change of government in Italy will be crucial<\/strong>” because it means<\/strong> “<\/span><\/span>to come before the Council and vote in favour of suspending the association agreement<\/strong>,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>because we now find ourselves in a situation where an agreement is still in force \u2013<\/span><\/span> <\/span>even though there is a clause within the agreement stating that it should be suspended <\/span><\/span>where human rights are being suspended, and this is not only evident but <\/span><\/span>the Commission has verified this \u2013 and those voting against that suspension are the governments,<\/span><\/span> including the <\/span>Italian government.” So, \u201c<\/span><\/span>a change of government in Italy could mean a change in policy at European level<\/span><\/span> <\/span>and we must understand this. We, as politicians across the political spectrum, must take responsibility for this,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>and we must strive to present it forcefully, not least so that the Italian people understand that <\/span><\/span>a vote for the broad coalition also means a change in policy at the European level regarding international law,\u201d she concluded. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
