“He only grieves for Jewish children.” Elena Basile’s sensational social attack on Liliana Segre risks ending up in court, with the family of the senator for life ready to sue the former Italian ambassador to Belgium and Sweden.

As a commentator on TV, Basile had already caused a stir for her harsh criticism of Ukraine and NATO and her essentially pro-Russian positions. Now you put the burden on us by taking the side of Hamas, hitting Segre on a wound that will never heal, that of the Holocaust.

“You, dear lady, say that you can’t sleep, that your memory is tormented not only on Remembrance Day but for 365 days by what you experienced in the concentration camps – Basile addresses Segre in a video -: but Palestinian children don’t touch her? Just her, a Holocaust survivor. But do you know that the Nazis were also very good to their children? They too had morals for the Germans, Aryans and whites and felt nothing about death of the Jews. Do you want to imitate them?”.

An unacceptable provocation for the senator’s family. “I wrote to Basile. ‘Get this thing out of the way, it’s false, sorry, otherwise we’ll have to sue you’. She hasn’t responded to me, so tomorrow I think we’ll take steps to file the lawsuit”, announces Luciano Belli Paci, Segre’s son, to the Ansa agency. “I wanted to write to Basile, I sent her an email, pointing out that she had said something completely false. My mother has always repeated, even from Fabio Fazio, that she doesn’t make distinctions, that children of all kinds cause her infinite pain. nationalities, of all faiths, Israelis and Palestinians. So what Basile said is totally false.”

“My mother – added Belli Paci – had already said in recent days that it was a period of terrible dejection for her due to this general situation. Frankly, being bloodily insulted by a character who should be presumed to be of a certain culture, like Basile, and even being compared to the Nazis, because the Nazis, says Basile, cared only for their own children and my mother would do the same thing, well it goes beyond the limits of any possibility of tolerance and decency. We are beyond good and evil “.
