Zaho de Sagazan is launching a cry of anger on Saturday July 26. In the midst of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the singer, who was notably rewarded during the music victories, does not mince words. On her Instagram account, she is directly addressed to President Emmanuel Macron and denounces a communication policy disconnected from real action. A publication that quickly toured social networks, accumulating more than 80,000 “likes” In just a few hours.
The young 28 -year -old artist, visibly exhausted by the inaction of the world in the face of Gaza’s sufferings, begins her message with an unequivocal declaration: “I can no longer sing the beauty of life without naming the injustice that we let settle.“For her, the current Israeli government, led by an extreme right coalition, is directly responsible for a situation of disproportionate violence, jeopardizing an entire population.” Children die of hunger, families survive without water, without care, without shelter, under the rubble of what was still their city yesterday, “she deplores.
She criticizes the international community, which seems to put the extent of the disaster into perspective, “an entire society is being erased under the eyes of the world and this world looks elsewhere or worse: it justifies, relativizes delay”.
“On cannot continue to disqualify any critical speech by an unfair accusation “, she continues, pointing out the fact that” at each denunciation of these horrors, we cry out for anti-Semitism “.” It is not a question of attacking a people or a religion, but of denouncing the genocidal policy of Netanyahu and those who let it do, she assures. It is not hatred, it is a call for justice, compassion and dignity “.
Mr. President, you have the power to act, have the courage and dignity to do so.

For the singer, it is no longer enough to multiply the declarations and symbolic gestures: it takes concrete actions. She calls for an immediate ceasefireat the end of military cooperation with Israel, the delivery of humanitarian aid urgently and sanctions against violations of international law. “Recognizing the Palestinian state is a necessary symbolic gesture, but it is not enough,” she adds, adding that tangible measures must follow.
“Do not decorate your communication with my songs If you let a massacre, “she asked directly to the president who had used the song “The Symphony of Lightning”in a speech. “It is a question of demanding acts, not words, she concludes. It is a question of finding our hearts, our lucidity and our humanity”.
