C'è un film citato nel libro di cui parlavo nel post di due giorni fa (https://mastodon.uno/@colpam/116686991858912025) che ho visto lo scorso anno con interesse, ben fatto seppur a mio modo di vedere scivoli un po' nella pornografia: #Benedetta di Paul #Verhoeven. Una storia che si ispira a fatti veri, come fece il #Manzoni con la Monaca di #Monza, ma la realtà fu ben peggiore.

Il Sole 24 ORE - Italia: Riciclaggio, amministrazione giudiziaria per il casinò di Saint-Vincent

Il Tribunale di Torino ha disposto l’amministrazione giudiziaria per il casinò di Saint-Vincent. Il decreto, il primo applicato a una casa da gioco, è stato notificato oggi. È stato emesso...

Following Hamas, the United Nations is also blacklisting Israel for sexual violence. And the Italian government is silent.

Here's a translation of the Italian text into English:

They had stated it first, and yet with blatant pride. When in August 2025 the United Nations listed Hamas on the blacklist of perpetrators of sexual violence in conflict zones, the majority in Italy transformed that relationship into a club. The UN Special Representative Pramila Patten, after her March 2024 visit to Israel, concluded that there were reasonable grounds to believe that rapes and other forms of sexual violence were committed on October 7, 2023. This conclusion formed a substantial part of the pro-Israel consensus, in Parliament and in talk shows. Rape as a weapon, repeated, certified, sculpted.

Today, May 28, 2026, the same United Nations decided to include Israel on that list as well. Alongside Hamas. Alongside ISIS.

This was announced on X by the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, describing it as a “political decision” disconnected “from the facts and reality.” The new annual report on sexual violence in conflicts is not yet public, and this detail matters, but Jerusalem’s reaction has already arrived and says a great deal: Israel has suspended cooperation with the office of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who concludes his term at the end of the year. “Anyone who is able to put Israel on the same list as Hamas terrorists and rapists has no moral legitimacy,” Danon added. Everything as part of a script: when the facts cease to serve, they become slander.

The Moral Proof and its Cracks

For two years, the Italian government had used the dossier on sexual violence as the definitive moral proof. Yet that dossier, through several steps, had fragile foundations. The New York Times investigation of December 28, 2023, “Screams Without Words,” which had established systematic rape as a cornerstone of the narrative surrounding October 7th, was contested by the Be’eri kibbutz on one of the symbolic cases, partially dismantled by the same newspaper over a key witness, and more than sixty journalism professors demanded an independent review. The same UN report of August 2025, alongside Hamas, already flagged the sexual violence committed by Israeli forces against Palestinian detainees, and noted that Israel had prevented investigations.

All of this remained outside the frame of the Italian debate.

And now? Now the government that had erected its firmness on sexual violence as an absolute crime finds itself facing the same accusation, the same source, the same organization, directed at the defending state. The Italian outrage parenthesis, meanwhile, seems to have closed quickly.

On May 20th, a video of Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir humiliating the activists of the Flotilla provoked the harshest reaction: Giorgia Meloni and Antonio Tajani spoke of images “unacceptable,” Sergio Mattarella of a “low” gesture. Tajani asked the European Union to impose sanctions solely on Ben-Gvir, a measure that requires the unanimity of the Twenty-Seven and which currently has the support of only Spain. On the rest, prudence. The opposition demands to move from words to deeds, and the premier “is late,” says Elly Schlein.

One Sole Source, Two Weights

The question remains, and it’s worth reading it slowly and aloud: if sexual violence was the crime that made Hamas indefensible, and the source was reliable enough to become a government topic, what now that the same source indicts Israel as well?

Unless one decides that the UN is authoritative when accusing the enemy and political when accusing the friend. Or does one really think that the only moral rapes under scrutiny are those of a minister in a video, and that censoring him alone is enough to close the case.

As Manzoni wrote, putting it in Don Abbondio’s mouth, “one cannot give it.” Don Abbondio at least confessed it. The Italian government, on its part, prefers to pretend that it has spent it all against one man.

The article After Hamas, the United Nations Also Blacklist Israel for Sexual Violence. And the Italian government remains silent seems to be the first on LA NOTIZIA.

Domani: I Promessi sposi sono ancora un classico imprescindibile? La vostra opinione

Dopo la pubblicazione della bozza delle Indicazioni nazionali, che prevede lo spostamento del capolavoro di Manzoni dal secondo al quarto anno del liceo, nella nostra newsletter Tempo Pieno abbiamo chiesto ai lettori e alle lettrici cosa ne pensino, anche a partire dalla propria esperienza di studente, genitore o docente. È un testo superato o è ancora un «classico contemporaneo»? È indispensabile nel percorso di formazione? E soprattutto: è giusto porre la questione in questi termini?

Are "The Betrothed" still an indispensable classic? Your opinion.

Following the publication of the draft National Guidelines, which proposes moving Manzoni’s masterpiece from the second to the fourth year of secondary school, in our newsletter Tempo Pieno we asked readers what they thought, also drawing on their own experience as students, parents, or teachers. Is it an outdated text or is it still a “contemporary classic”? Is it indispensable to the educational path? And above all: is it right to raise the question in these terms?

Domani: Davvero I promessi sposi sono “difficili” per i 15enni?

Il romanzo del Manzoni non sarà certo una delle letture preferite dei quindicenni. Ed è del tutto legittimo pensare di aggiornare i programmi scolastici e non farlo più studiare in seconda superiore. Ma dire come ha fatto il ministro Valditara che è difficile forse è esagerato?

Are *The Betrothed* really “difficult” for 15-year-olds?

Manzoni's novel won't certainly be one of the favorite reads for fifteen-year-olds. And it’s perfectly legitimate to think of updating school curricula and no longer studying it in second high school. But is it an exaggeration, as the Minister Valditara said, to claim that it’s difficult?
