Meloni’s burqa ban won’t fix Italy’s struggling schools
'There must be a limit on foreign students in the classroom and an absolute ban on wearing the burqa,' stated Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a speech at an event held by the youth wing of Brothers of Italy. [GETTY] When I was around seven or eight, a new girl joined our class. Natthaya had just arrived from Thailand and didn't speak a word of Italian. Our teacher sat her next to me: the two foreigners, she reasoned, could help each other better than anyone else could.
Giorgia Meloni’s moral retreat on Gaza - Randa ghazy
In 2014, during the Israeli assault on Gaza that killed more than 2,200 Palestinians, Giorgia Meloni, then just a member of the Italian parliament, wrote on social media: “Another massacre of children in Gaza. No cause is fair when it sheds the blood of the innocent.” More than a decade on, that moral clarity is nowhere to be found.

From Greenland to Gaza, the White Man's Burden makes a comeback
From Gaza to Greenland, Iran to Venezuela, imperial projects are rebranded as “security” at the expense of Indigenous freedoms, writes Randa Ghazy. Decisions about land, sovereignty, and resources are debated in distant capitals, while those most affected are treated as secondary actors in their own history. Their voices, once again missing from Western media, writes Randa Ghazy.

The Dutch election shows the far-right never lost its grip
We should be under no illusion, the far-right remains a decisive force and the country’s rightward drift continues, writes Alex de Jong. [GETTY] The claims that the recent Dutch elections led to a return of the political centre and a repudiation of the far-right, are off the mark. We should be under no illusion, the far-right remains a decisive force and the country’s rightward drift continues.
Gaza is the litmus test for Western free speech
People mourn the loss of Palestinian journalist Ahmed Abu Mutair killed in an Israeli attack at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza on October 20, 2025. [GETTY] Press conferences at the European Commission rarely go viral. Yet on 13 October, Italian journalist Gabriele Nunziati made headlines after asking Paula Pinho, the Commission’s chief spokesperson: “You have been repeating several times that Russia should repay for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
By seeing Gaza children as such, Italy has rehumanised Palestine
Italy’s pro-Palestinian wave—from dock strikes to viral outrage—shows conscience is alive. But where was this action over the past 2 years? writes Randa Ghazy. “Define children.” These chilling words, said by the president of the Friends of Israel Federation, Eyal Mizrahi, during an exchange that was broadcast on Italy’s È sempre Cartabianca, recently went viral. This followed comedian Enzo Iacchetti asking, “were the 50,000 Palestinians killed Hamas terrorists? And the children?

Syrian Refugees In Lebanon Are Forced To Destroy Their Own Homes
“Demolish your home or we’ll do it for you.” This, in a nutshell, is the ultimatum that was given to the Syrian refugees living in camps in the village of Arsal, northeast of Beirut. Last week, the Lebanese army demolished at least 20 concrete settlements in three Syrian refugee camps in the village, but before the army’s intervention, several refugees had taken the matter in their own hands and had already destroyed their own homes.
Brexit, "Noi giovani siamo stati "cameronati""
Mi sveglio, il cielo non è piu grigio. Dopo che l'equivalente di un mese di pioggia è sceso in un'ora due notti fa, stamattina il cielo è terso. É passato solo un giorno da quel «UK votes to leave EU and Cameron quits», e non mi sono ancora ripresa dallo shock. Spalanco gli occhi, sono sveglia? É un sogno? Un incubo? L'Apocalisse? Cosa sta succedendo? Io e miei amici italiani ed europei di casa a Londra da ormai più di 4 anni, parliamo senza sosta da oltre ventiquattro ore.
Giulio Regeni, vissuto (e ucciso) come un egiziano
Quello che è successo a lui è un affronto non al mondo accademico, ma all'umanità. E in Egitto succede, in media, tre volte al giorno Giulio Regeni è svanito nel nulla. Come Ibrahim Halawa. Omar Salah. Mohammed El-Gindi. Mohamed El-Shafie. Islam Khalil. Ashraf Shehata. E molti altri. Non è ancora chiaro chi l’abbia torturato ed ucciso.
