Luigi Marattin responded to Corrado Formigli, who in the Corriere had described as "an embarrassing confusion" what the deputy said on Piazzapulita. Marattin mentioned that he has been reading investigative journalism and historical studies on conflicts for decades and cited Il Legionario, a book about Giustino De Vuono, arguing that its author documented the presented theses. Marattin accused the documentary Naza of making unfounded accusations. He cited the bombing which, according to the mentioned reconstruction, would have killed 500 civilians, stating that no evidence of either the attack or the death toll had been presented. He argued that the only source was Hamas's word, treated as truth, while Israeli accounts were dismissed as propaganda. He added that he had said on air that, in wartime, he did not consider the reports of the involved parties reliable and preferred those from independent observers. For this reason, he described Israel's decision not to allow foreign journalists into Gaza, even at their own risk, as a mistake. Marattin accused Formigli of not listening to this point and of silencing dissenters, imposing his own opinion. Finally, he wrote that he would have liked to read a "mea culpa" from the host for his statements about Israeli children on October 7. #giornalismodinchiesta #storia #media (translated)

We are witnessing the end of Western leadership. Economic crises and regional wars await us. "All world orders rise and fall, like empires. It has been happening for 5,000 years.

Luigi Marattin argued that, in the last three years, Western societies had been exposed to a vast campaign of disinformation and psychological conditioning regarding the conflict in Gaza. In his view, this had overshadowed the massacre of October 7, presented by some as an episode of resistance, and spread false claims about genocide, civilian casualties, and attacks on Palestinians seeking food. Marattin said that the reasons for what he termed a campaign of lies would be clarified by historians and hypothesized that factors such as identification with the weaker side, funding of Islamic extremism, and anti-Jewish prejudice had contributed to it. He stated that in the "information war," responses were beginning to appear in the form of documentaries: he mentioned *Naza: the Real Story*, which, according to him, offered more evidence and did not rely on anonymous testimonies, and *We will dance again*, shown the previous night by Nicola Porro and containing images from October 7. Marattin wrote that those images had marked those who had seen them and urged for countering falsehoods without fear of going against dominant thinking. He also accused some protesters with Hamas flags and others of having embraced propaganda and ideology. Finally, he said he would be in Milan the following day to commemorate October 7, which he defined as a dark day for Western civilization, and thanked the Milanese Jewish community for the invitation. #Disinformazione #Guerra #Milano (translated)
