There are certain days when you make history. This October 13th will pass to history.
Two years have passed and a little more since another date that has made history: the bloody attack of Hamas in Israel. The hostages that remained alive were released, the circle closes. On this journey on the circumference of things that happen: so much pain, blood, destruction. So horrible, so much hatred.
After two years of visual and mediatic narration of only anguish, the storytelling of the signs of the global storytelling has changed. We saw the biblical and exciting counterexodus of the Palestinians in a row returning to their homes. The houses were destroyed, the faces were happy and alibite, but it was the dawn of a new life (we hope).
We have seen the joy of the hostages and their loved ones. Nothing, even for them, will be more like before, but they are alive. Others have not done it, and to them and to their families our thoughts go. As we have seen and moved on to the joy of the family of those who survived.
We rediscovered the simple and powerful value of joy for the things that matter. For the rest, the individual stories will find them everywhere: I was interested, now, here, a first epic look of all the days when, precisely, history is made.
Then politics and diplomacy do their course. Israel has released prisoners; There is the Barghouti case, but we will talk about it when we treat the spiny theme of the future leadership of Gaza.
Trump today took the applause of the world, even of those who continue to denigrate it. But they count the facts, and the facts say that the American administration and the President contributed to the construction of a new phase of the Middle East.
It will rule or will not hold, the unknown are many: starting from what will do the armed faction of Hamas; and then the elections in Israel, the new Palestinian governance, the role of the great Sunni countries and Iran. But the glass half empty today we leave it to the professional nihilists.
