علیه نفرت‌پراکنی سکوت نمی‌کنیم
اعتراض بیش از پانصد فعال سیاسی، مدنی و فرهنگی در واکنش به ویدئوی اخیر اشکان خطیبی
در روزهای اخیر ویدیویی از اشکان خطیبی، بازیگر سابق ایرانی و جنگ‌طلبِ امروز، منتشر شده است که هر انسان آزادی‌خواه و صلح‌طلبی را دچار خشم و انزجار می‌کند. اشکان خطیبی در این ویدیو برای چندمین بار با ادبیاتی خشونت‌آمیز، جنسیت‌زده و ضدانسانی علیه مسلمانان و به‌ویژه ملت ستمدیده‌ی فلسطین حرف می‌زند. او که هم اکنون به‌عنوان هنرمند در کشور ایتالیا زندگی و پروژه‌های هنری خود را نیز اجرا می‌کند در یک ویدیو که متعلق به جشن سال نوی ایرانی است به وضوح آرزوی نابودی و مرگ مسلمانان را دارد و با ادبیاتی جنسیت‌زده به تمام ملت فلسطین فحاشی می‌کند. این نخستین بار نیست و او بارها این ادبیات نفرت‌پراکن و خشونت‌آمیز را آگاهانه علیه ملتی که هشتاد سال تحت اشغال رژیم آپارتاید اسرائیل قرار داشته و سه سال است هدف یک نسل‌کشی وحشیانه بوده، تکرار کرده است
ما به عنوان جمعی از فعالین مدافع ملت ستمدیده‌ی فلسطین، مخالف رژیم صهیونیستی و تجاوز نظامی آمریکایی_اسرائیلی به کشور ایران با خشم فراوان نسبت به این نفرت‌پراکنیِ ضدانسانی واکنش می‌دهیم و از تمام آزادگان و صلح‌طلبان می‌خواهیم به ما یاری کنند تا در برابر این ادبیات و افکار فاشیستی و خطرناک بایستیم. یادآوری این نکته نیز مهم است که اشکان خطیبی در ماه‌های اخیر بارها مردم ایران را تشویق به مسلح‌شدن و فعالیت‌های مسلحانه در خیابان‌های ایران کرده و به‌نوعی تبدیل به بلندگوی موساد شده است
خطاب ما تمام آزادی‌خواهان و مدافعان ملت‌های تحت اشغال و استعمار است: همین امروز باید با واکنشی جمعی در برابر این افکار و ادبیات فاشیستی و خشونت‌آمیز ایستاد و این چرخه‌ی ضدانسانی از سوی بخشی از اپوزیسیون ایرانی دیاسپورا را متوقف کرد.
We Will Not Remain Silent in the Face of Hate Speech
In Response to the Recent Video by Ashkan Khatibi
In recent days, a video of Ashkan Khatibi a former Iranian actor who has now taken on a pro-war stance—has circulated, provoking anger and disgust in any freedom loving and peace-seeking individual. In this video, Khatibi once again employs violent, misogynistic, and dehumanizing language against Muslims, and particularly against the oppressed Palestinian people.
Currently living in Italy and continuing his artistic work there, he appears in a video related to the Iranian New Year celebration in which he explicitly expresses a wish for the destruction and death of Muslims, while using gendered and abusive language to insult the entire Palestinian nation. This is not the first instance; he has repeatedly and deliberately used such hate-filled and violent rhetoric against a people who have lived for eighty years under the occupation of Israel’s apartheid regime and who, for the past three years, have been subjected to a brutal genocide.
We, as a collective of activists defending the oppressed Palestinian people, opposing the Zionist regime, and opposing U.S.–Israeli military aggression against Iran, respond with deep anger to this dehumanizing hate speech. We call on all advocates of freedom and peace to stand with us and resist these dangerous and fascistic ideas and forms of expression. It is also important to note that in recent months, Khatibi has repeatedly encouraged people in Iran to arm themselves and to engage in armed activity in the streets, effectively acting as an echo chamber for Mossad.
Our message is addressed to all defenders of freedom and those who stand with peoples under occupation and colonial rule: today, more than ever, a collective response is necessary to confront this violent and fascistic rhetoric and to halt this anti-human cycle being perpetuated by a segment of the Iranian diaspora opposition.
Italy
Negli ultimi giorni è stato diffuso un video di Ashkan Khatibi,
ex attore iraniano e oggi fautore della guerra, che provoca rabbia e disgusto in ogni persona amante della libertà e della pace. Ashkan Khatibi, in questo video, per l’ennesima volta, parla con un linguaggio violento, sessista e disumano contro i musulmani e, in particolare, contro il popolo oppresso della Palestina.
Egli, che attualmente vive in Italia come artista e vi realizza anche i propri progetti, in un video legato alla celebrazione del Capodanno iraniano esprime chiaramente il desiderio di distruzione e morte dei musulmani e, con un linguaggio sessista, insulta l’intero popolo palestinese. Non è la prima volta: egli ha più volte, consapevolmente, utilizzato questo linguaggio carico di odio e violenza contro un popolo che da ottant’anni si trova sotto l’occupazione del regime di apartheid israeliano e che da tre anni è bersaglio di un genocidio.
Noi, come collettivo di attivisti a sostegno del popolo oppresso della Palestina, contrari al regime sionista e all’aggressione militare israelo-statunitense contro l’Iran, reagiamo con profonda rabbia a questa propaganda d’odio disumana e chiediamo a tutte le persone libere e amanti della pace di unirsi a noi, affinché si oppongano a questo linguaggio e a queste idee fasciste e pericolose. È inoltre importante ricordare che Ashkan Khatibi, negli ultimi mesi, ha più volte incoraggiato il popolo iraniano ad armarsi e a intraprendere azioni armate nelle strade dell’Iran, arrivando in qualche modo a trasformarsi in un megafono del Mossad.
Il nostro appello è rivolto a tutti gli amanti della libertà e ai difensori dei popoli sotto occupazione e colonialismo: già da oggi è necessario opporsi con una reazione collettiva a questo pensiero e a questo linguaggio fascista e violento, e fermare questo ciclo disumano proveniente da una parte dell’opposizione iraniana nella diaspora.
