The Vicariate of Rome had to act quickly, distancing itself from a pro-Palestine initiative considered very close to Hamas: it was supposed to be hosted in recent days in the parish of San Lorenzo in Lucina, one of the most central churches in the city. The initiative took shape without the knowledge of the parish priest who had only agreed to lend the premises without investigating too much and above all without imagining that among the organizers there were characters well known to the chronicles, security, the Jewish Community and in the past even the subject of a parliamentary question. Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, unaware of these behind-the-scenes events, when he was warned of the bad parade, immediately distanced himself by issuing a statement yesterday: "No request, neither of merit nor of content, nor any communication regarding this event, has reached the Vicariate, therefore no authorization has been issued by the competent Offices. It was a private initiative that does not involve the Church of Rome at all".
Casini: "Netanyahu is not Israel, his mistakes help Hamas. The gulags have returned in Russia"
Officially it was a convoy of material aid directed to Gaza: a new mission of the pro-pal association led by Mohammad Hannoun founder of the "Beneficial Association of Solidarity with the Palestinian People", long openly accused by Israel of financing Hamas. He himself, after October 7, raised several controversies for having uttered offensive phrases. Hannoun, in fact, not only never condemned the anti-Semitic atrocities committed in the Israeli kibbutzim by terrorists, but even downplayed them: "When did they kill forty children? Let me see one child. Did the men of Hamas behead forty children? Poor, poor these children... Did these terrorists rape women? Who said that? Do you have any proof?".

Mohamad Hannoun has however clarified to Ansa that he is not connected to Hamas or anyone, but is only a one hundred percent "charitable and humanitarian association". In recent weeks he had congratulated Ghali for what he had said during the Sanremo Festival. "We applaud Ghali for his position in favor of the Palestinians and for his clear words against the extermination". The same association then awarded the rapper a prize by giving him a fragment of the restoration of the Jerusalem mosque.
Anti-Semitism, a network of university professors is born to fight the phenomenon in Europe
Last year, the senator of Brothers of Italy, Ester Mieli had alarmedly reported news of direct funding to Hamas by the Beneficial Association of Solidarity founded by Hannoun. A complex and opaque story because Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union, consequently whoever finances "Hamas finances terrorists". Mieli was then surprised at how Hannoun had also been received in the past at the Chamber of Deputies by the former President of the Chamber, Laura Boldrini.
At the parish initiative in San Lorenzo in Lucina, now stopped, Alfredo Maiolese, ambassador of the IPSP and Monsignor Tommaso Stenico, defined as a diplomat of the IPSP, would have participated as speakers. An acronym that stands for International Parliament for Safety and Peace, a private organization based in Italy, whose declared intention is the promotion of security and peace. Its founder, now deceased, was a native of Palermo, Vittorio Maria Busa (1941-2013), and often also called Viktor Ivan Busà. The chronicles tell that he even claimed the titles of metropolitan and archbishop of Białystok, president of the Republic of Gdansk and the Democratic Republic of Belarus, and Grand Khan of Tartary and Mongolia.
Monsignor Stenico, on the other hand, has been a manager of the Congregation of the Clergy for years, participated in the drafting of various documents on the clergy until he fell into disgrace because, over ten years ago, he participated in a television program where pretending to be a gay priest wanted to bring out the existence in the curia of the homosexual lobby, which, subsequently, Pope Francis also confirmed. Stenico was also a psychotherapist, regularly registered in the register of psychologists. He said he had treated several homosexual priests. Now he appears as a diplomat of this association.
