L’aforisma del giorno – Salem Jubran

In una poesia scritta nel 1970, lo scrittore e traduttore Salem Jubran (1941-2011) chiama in causa Jean-Paul Sartre, schierato a favore della causa anticolonialista algerina, ma rimasto in silenzio sulla colonizzazione della Palestina.

TO JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
If a child were killed, and his killers threw
his body in the mud,
wouldn’t you feel angry? What would you say?
I am a son of Palestine,
I die every year,
I get killed every day,
every hour.
Come on, look carefully at the variety of atrocities,
look at every photo, every image
the least horrible is that of my blood flowing.
Say something:
Why this sudden indifference?
So what is it, you have nothing to say?
