Nika, studentessa, 16 anni? È caduta da un palazzo, dice il regime. Aida, 36, medico? Un amante l'ha spinta giù dal cavalcavia, dice il regime. Sono queste le storie quotidiane delle ragazze iraniane lungo le strade della «loro» Rivoluzione. Una generazione di giovani donne istruite che pagano col sangue il coraggio di mettere i propri corpi di traverso a un sistema vecchio, sessista, illiberale. Barbara Stefanelli raccoglie le storie delle ribelli iraniane e di chi ne ha sostenuto la battaglia. Per custodire i nomi e i volti, il sacrificio e le promesse.

Nel 1948 nacque lo Stato d'Israele. Ma nel 1948 ebbe luogo anche la Nakba ('catastrofe'), ovvero la cacciata di circa 250.000 palestinesi dalla loro terra. La vulgata israeliana ha sempre narrato che in quell'anno, allo scadere del Mandato britannico in Palestina, le Nazioni Unite avevano proposto di dividere la regione in due Stati: il movimento sionista era d'accordo, ma il mondo arabo si oppose; per questo, entrò in guerra con Israele e convince i palestinesi ad abbandonare i territori – nonostante gli appelli dei leader ebrei a rimanere – pur di facilitare l'ingresso delle truppe arabe.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

Em 1948, 700 mil palestinos foram forçados a deixar seus lares depois da primeira guerra árabe-israelense. Mais de 70 anos depois, a maioria de suas casas não existe mais, mas milhões de seus descendentes ainda estão registrados como refugiados, vivendo em campos destinados a eles. Esse grupo – diferentemente de vários outros que foram deslocados no pós-Segunda Guerra e outros conflitos – permaneceu desterrado, exigindo assentar-se no Estado de Israel. Sua crença no direito ao retorno é um dos maiores obstáculos a uma diplomacia bem-sucedida e uma paz duradoura na região.

Lírico e evocatório, este audiolivro é uma das tentativas mais convincentes de estabelecer um diálogo além do muro que separa israelenses e palestinos. Em uma série de cartas, Yossi Klein Halevi se empenha para desfazer o nó ideológico e emocional que tem definido o conflito israelense-palestino por quase um século. Fazendo uso da história e da experiência pessoal como seus guias, ele desemaranha os complexos filamentos de fé, orgulho, raiva e angústia que sente como um judeu vivendo em Israel.

Jean-Pierre Filiu, acclaimed historian of Gaza, is intimately familiar with the land's people and places; he speaks the local dialect. But nothing prepared him for what he encountered there in December 2024. This is his unforgettable, unbearably intimate account of one month in a place shattered by Israel's all-out war.
