COULD WE STOP THE WAR, PLEASE?
Transposition of “Could We Start Again Please”, Jesus Christ Superstar, lyrics by Sir Tim Rice, music by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I've been living so far in peace
Dying to see it shall continue
But Trump doesn’t want to be like this
This what we all expected, that’s the way he is
Could we stop the felon, please?

I've been a bit hopeful till now
But I always thought he is mad
Now I know I was spot on
Could we stop the felon, please?

I think he has made his point now
He has even gone much too far to spread terror
Before it gets too frightening we must call a halt
So could we stop the felon, please?

Canada said no, Greenland said forget it
He stole the oil in Venezuela, and nothing changed
Now he wants Cuba, declare war on puros
So could we stop the felon, please?

He started war on Iran, women are unimportant
The oil is what he wants, he crashed the markets
Before he drags NATO into the war we must stop him now
So could we stand together, please?

Could we stop the war, please?
Could we stop the felon, please?
Could we have peace again, please?
Could we have freedom again, please?
Could we start again?

COULD WE STOP THE WAR, PLEASE?

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...
