Rossa Palestina: Italy's Viral Pro-Palestinian Anthem that Shook the Internet | The Story

In this video, I explore the history, significance, and hidden messages of Rossa Palestina, a song that was written in 1973 by Umberto Fiori, a poet and musician who was involved in the radical left-wing movements of the time. The song expresses solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle against the Israeli occupation, and it also criticizes the role of the United States and Jordan in the conflict. The song has recently resurfaced on YouTube, where several versions have been uploaded, some with English subtitles or lyrics. The song has attracted thousands of views and comments, mostly from people who support the Palestinian cause and condemn the Israeli aggression. The song has also sparked some controversy, as some people have accused it of being anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist, or outdated. However, many others have defended the song as a legitimate expression of solidarity and resistance, and as a historical document that reflects the political and cultural context of its time. I also talk about the song’s author, Umberto Fiori, who is still alive and active as a writer and professor of literature, and his views on the song and the Palestinian issue.
