Restiamo Umani. Stay Human.
The funeral in Gaza
Up to ten thousand people gathered for the funeral in his native Italy of Vittorio Arrigoni, the Palestinian activist murdered in Gaza. Mourners of many colors and religions celebrated the life of a defender of human rights who had "no boundaries, no flags and no barriers."
"Vittorio was, is and will continue to be a gift and lesson to our imperfect race. The assassins were proven to have lost. Vittorio lives on. Right in front of our very eyes, ten thousand Vittorio Arrigonis were born."

Show AllSolidarity for peace and freedom, one heart at a time, with strength to share for all. Tony

My voice to yours Lynda & the others.
Thank you "must be free" it is sureal to see only human on this page while two billions are watching some fucking boring dead wedding payed by the suppression of health care & liberties. One wonder, the very same uniform thats parading is responsable of the crimes, that created the tragedy that lead to the slaying of Vittorio Arrigoni.
The show must continue, not theirs, OURS.
