“You cannot call yourself a climate activist if you ignore the suffering of colonized and marginalized peoples: silence means complicity with genocide” in Palestine. Greta Thunberg gets into a pickup truck and harangues, keffiyeh wrapped around her neck, the thousand participants in the Fridays for Future demonstration who marched in Milan today starting from Largo Cairoli.
“Palestinians have lived for decades under the suffocating oppression of an apartheid regime and in the last year, with Israel’s live-streaming genocide, the world has abandoned Palestine again,” the Swedish activist emphasizes. Violence, oppression, genocide, ecocide, famine, war, colonialism: for Thunberg “things are all interconnected”.
Meanwhile from the procession they respond in chorus: “Free Palestine”. The tough and pure, also wrapped in the Keffiyeh, chant the slogan: “Intifada until victory”. There are many signs, some are calling for complete decolonisation: free Palestine “from the River to the Sea”.
