I figli dell’odio. La radicalizzazione di Israele, la distruzione della Palestina, l’umiliazione dell’Iran

In Hebron, a group of underage Jewish girls hangs a banner against mixed marriages. In Tulkarm, Palestinian kids hang the photos of slain friends from their rifles and prepare to fight Israeli soldiers. In Teheran, Abbas mourns his cousin, who was hanged by the regime, while feeling a mixture of terror and excitement over the Jewish state’s big attack on the Islamic Republic. Cecilia Sala’s latest report is a journey that takes a close look at three major interconnected stories: the radicalization of Israel, the destruction of Palestine, and the collapse of Tehran’s Axis of Resistance. With her vivid and direct style, Cecilia Sala takes us through checkpoints and raids, into the homes of victims and executioners. In doing so, she reveals the generational clash that courses through each of these countries, which has become one of the most relevant – and least examined – fault lines of our time. The field report is enriched by interviews with key figures, such as Hossein Kanaani, one of the founders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and Ronen Bergman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who explains Israel’s failure to defend itself against its internal enemy, armed extremism. And also, Imad Abu Awad, a Palestinian analyst who no longer believes in a diplomatic or a military solution and hopes for an internal Israeli civil war to solve his people’s problems.
