AND THE WAR, THE WAR
Transposition of “E la vita, la vita” by Cochi and Renato.

There are those who feel so much pain
And those who see only horror
There's a child who died today

And his dad said, "He's gone
But where has he gone
Perhaps to a better world?"

There are those who destroy a school
And those who bomb a hospital
There are those who want to see children starve

And those who are just a despicable President
And there are always those who want war
But what will they do if peace comes?

And the war, the war
The war is fine, it's fine
All you need is a bomb, a bomb
That explodes over your head
And you are dead

And the war, the war
The war is in vain, it's in vain
All you need are people with salt in their head
Who when they talk about peace
Wants to end the massacre

There are those who invade a country
And those who applaud them
There are those who think that to be elected

They have to lie to get ovations
And there are always people who believe it
And then regret having voted for them

There are those who only watch Fox Crap News
And then vote as Trump wants
There are those who are just mad

And those who can think with their head
And there's always someone who protests
And says the war must now end

And the war, the war
The war is fine, it's fine
All you need is a bomb, a bomb
That explodes over your head
And you are just dead

And the war, the war
The war is in vain, it's in vain
All you need are people with salt in their head
Who when they talk about peace
Wants to end the massacre

And the peace, the peace
And the peace is fine, it's fine
All it takes is signing an agreement
To end the slaughter
And the war will be over!

AND THE WAR, THE WAR

Giovanna Paladino, PhD Group Senior Director - Head of Technical Secretariat of the Presidency IntesaSanpaolo, Director and Curator Museo del Risparmio, Senior Director Fondo Beneficenza Office of ISP. TRANSLATED TEXT Last Friday, the world day refugees was celebrated, a way to remember that in a world full of wars and persecutions there are people who have to flee their country to stay in the world and who can, with their talents, if welcomed and respected, also help the progress of our countries. Among the many projects that we support in 2025 with the ISP Charity Fund, I want to mention two that for their impact and design can be considered best practices. We support UNHCR for the creation of an integrated program of protection and empowerment of refugee and asylum-seeking women who have survived or are at risk of gender-based violence in Sicily (Catania, Syracuse, Ragusa) and Lazio (Rome, Frascati). 1,400 refugees and asylum seekers will be involved thanks to the work of a multidis...

Jan Paternotte Member of the Netherlands Parliament for D66 ENGLISH TRANSLATION Why is the Netherlands not taking measures against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza? Because the VVD always blocks concrete action. And therefore never has a majority in favour. The VVD spokesperson lashes out wildly when you point this out. "Naive!" "Predicant's language!" As if the VVD members have been trained by Trump. I just don't get it. We stand side by side with the VVD to support Ukraine and to march in the pride in Budapest, because freedom and human rights are at stake there. Together we call what Putin does war crimes. Of course! Now people in Gaza are being shot dead while queuing for food. Hundreds. That is even the order that soldiers are given, they tell the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The UN and other aid organisations have been banned by Israel. It is such a gross violation of everything we call humanity. And the Netanyahu government makes no secret of w...

Suspend the EU–Israel trade agreement. Stop the genocide. For over a year and a half, we’ve been witnessing a brutal war tear through Gaza. The atrocities of the October 7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas — which is still holding hostages — were weaponised by the Israeli government not to pursue justice, but to unleash a devastating war on the Palestinian people. This is the first genocide broadcasted live on social media. Seen through the eyes of doctors working by flashlight, parents pulling their children from rubble, journalists sending their final messages before being killed.. For a long time, all we could do was watch, share, mourn and feel powerless. More than 54,000 people have been killed — mostly civilians. More than half of all the victims are women and children. 2 million people — nearly the entire population of Gaza — have been displaced. The Israeli army is systematically destroying hospitals, schools, and basic i...
