"Gaza deserves to be razed to the ground like the Soviets did to Hitler's Berlin." The statements published on social media by Mario Carboni from Cagliari, president of the Chenabura - Sardos Pro Israel association, are harsh. They were written in relaunching a post by Jewish professor Natan Cohen who calls for the release of the young Israeli hostages held by Hamas since the terrorist attack on October 7.
"Nothing can justify the kidnapping of children and young boys and adolescents as done by the Hamas cutthroats on October 7, who also kidnapped the bodies of murdered people for ransom," says Carboni. Who is not only angry with the terrorists, but with all Palestinians: " The population of Gaza has been an active accomplice and still is and continues to cover for the Hamas fighters," he claims, "and probably keeps many prisoners in their homes or acts as sutlers. Certainly they do not speak and they do not do so out of fear but because they are in solidarity with the anti-Semitic thought and action of Hamas: not only because of 20 years of indoctrination, but because they are Islamists to the core." A syllogism seems to emerge, for Carboni: Palestinian equals terrorist.
"Until they first free these children and surrender," continues the president of Sardos Pro Israel, "Gaza deserves to be razed to the ground as the Soviets did to Hitler's Berlin, making reconstruction and a desirable administrative and social reorganization possible."
Countering these statements is the lawyer Giulia Lai, a pro-Palestinian activist: «Carboni, through his association, has received hundreds of thousands of euros from the Sardinia Region» , she attacks, «We have financed with our money a violent, Zionist, accomplice of the genocide in Gaza».
Lai continues: " I demand that you immediately make public the association's financial statements, I want to know where my money has ended up too. I hope that this new regional government will take steps to ensure that this association does not receive another lira, at least until it publicly apologizes."
