“We are not here to beautify inaction.” In a viral publication on social networks, singer Zaho de Sagazan challenges Emmanuel Macron in the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and invites her not to use her famous song The Symphony of Lightning to feed her communication.
“I say it with gravity: do not use the words of the artists if you do not act for the lives they defend,” writes the artist this Saturday, July 26, believing that although the head of state famous with this song “Light, sensitivity, compassion”, “under the clouds, a few kilometers from us, children live hell.”
Therefore, he calls it not to “decorate (her) communication with (her) songs, if, in addition, (he) makes a massacre.” “We are not here to beautify inaction,” he insists.
“We cannot continue disqualifying any critical word”
A few paragraphs above, Zaho de Sagazan explains that he can no longer be satisfied “to heat the hearts by denouncing what collapses around us.”
“For months, the Palestinian people have been bombarded, hungry, moved, humiliated by the Israeli government, directed today by an extreme right coalition,” he writes, adds: he added:
“A whole society is being erased, in the eyes of the world. And this world looks elsewhere. Or worse: justify, relativizes, delays.”
An “endless massacre”
The singer, female artist chosen in the Victors of Musique 2025, speaks “of an endless massacre”, “of a frantic revenge carried out against an entire town already colonized and crushed for decades.”
Zaho de Sagazan specifies that “on October 7, Israeli civilians were victims of unbearable crimes committed by Hamas” and that “nobody denies it, nothing justifies it”, telling himself “he turned upside down for all the lost civil lives, either Palestinian or Israeli.”
The 25 -year -old artist mentions the children killed in Gaza and attacks against schools, hospitals, civil districts and deplora that “every complaint of these horrors, we cry for anti -Semitism.” “We cannot continue disqualifying any critical speech for an unfair accusation,” he wrote this Saturday.
And to add: “It is not about attacking a people or religion, but about denouncing Netanyahu’s genocidal policy and those who let them do.”
A catastrophic humanitarian situation
Zaho de Sagazan directs his text directly to Emmanuel Macron. While the latter announced this Thursday, July 24 that it was going to “recognize the state of Palestine” in September during a United Nations speech, the singer believes it is “a necessary symbolic gesture”, but that “it is not enough.”
Therefore, he asks him to demand “a high total fire”, to put an end to military cooperation “and make” humanitarian aid, blocked for weeks by Israel, can finally pass. “Some 2.4 million people are besieged in the Gaza Strip. A total blocking imposed in March in March by Israel, very partially softly soft at the end of May, led serious foods, drugs and fuel Palestinian.
“Violations of the Health of International Law” and “supports the surveys of war crimes,” also adds Zaho de Sagazan. “Every day of silence, voluntary confusion, creates new victims, feeds despair, radicalization, hatred and drives our humanity a little more shame,” you can read in its publication.
“It’s about demanding acts. No words,” concludes the singer.
A viral publication
His text message received more than 100,000 “like” on Instagram this Sunday afternoon and has once again spent, especially no other celebrity such as singers Benjamin Bioly or Angèle.
This Sunday, Israel has declared a break in the daily struggle for humanitarian purposes in certain sectors of the Gaza Strip, after days of alerts from many countries and international organizations. The first trucks loaded with help crossed the border from Egypt and the parachute of humanitarian aid have also resumed.
However, the needs in the Palestinian enclave are immense. UN and NGOs are alarmed by an outbreak of child malnutrition and a general famine risk among its more than two million inhabitants.
