Jovanotti replied to the criticisms on Israel and Palestine

“In these days I have received criticisms, irony, insults. Those who know me know it: I have never avoided taking a position, no neutrality”: Jovanotti responds, with a shared post on Instagram, to the criticisms received after the speech held last Saturday during his concert at the Lagi di Fusine, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, on the stage of the No Borders Music Festival. The singer -songwriter had seen a Palestinian flag under the stage and had launched himself in a reflection on the situation in the Middle East: “In the face of such a beautiful nature that the planet gives us, to the opportunity to be alive, to the opportunity to be able to coexist in a space as you can make what is happening. For both sides, it is not a question of fans”. Lorenzo Cherubini, then, added: “I am a fan only to support peace, the truce. It is the only thing that I am able to support with my way of understanding life”, recognizing how he had “nothing intelligent to say about what is happening. And since I have nothing intelligent to say, I don’t say anything”.

Words that many had appeared as “rhetorical”. Now it is precisely to the latter that the voice of “I think positive”, which in 1999 joined his forces with those of Piero Pelù and Luciano Ligabue for the individual “My name is never again”, with which the trio sold one million copies and allocated the proceeds to Emergency for the construction of hospitals in war zones, turns with the post shared on its official social channels, in which the next step must be the next step: ” truce, the end of this madman. And again: “Bombarded hospitals, unarmed civilians massacred, canceled lives without distinction, without respite. I have no solutions, I believe in the work towards the next step that today it must be a ceased. Here I have seen young people who throw themselves into something great. Rondine gives us back another culture and is the one in which I believe. The one in which I continue to hope. What I try to testify”.
