    Just remembered: the type who murdered Vittorio Arrigoni hate being called Wahabists: so we should stop saying salafi & use Wahabi. #fb

    #Vittorio. Remember him, mourn him - & continue his & our struggle: to "stay human", fight injustice, & celebrate beauty where you find it

    Suggestion to name a street in #Gaza after #Vittorio. Those who agree use this HashTag #VittorioStreet

    Let's keep lucid. A crime is a crime. There is no rational explanation, and is futile to use conspiracy theory. #RIPVittorio

    Getting texts from a friend in #Gaza with 6 hours delay, when he was telling me that #Vittorio was dead, that he was there. Awful to reread.

    Salafi groups in #Gaza are known; barbaric, insane, anti everyth. Such murder wouldn't be surprising if them. Yet I ask myself; why now?

    Problem is that his murderers forgot that #Vittorio was not a foreigner, he was a Palestinian among Palestinians. A freedom fighter. RIP.

    Were they expecting less reaction, less fuss about #Vittorio when he was abducted? Who would care about a "foreigner" after all?

    They started denying when the online campaign for #Vittorio's release was growing, & when Hamas felt cornered & forced to react & hunt them.

    You know what makes those salafis & an Israeli involvmnt most probable? 1st they admit the abduction, then deny it, then #Vittorio is dead.
