"I wrote to Basile. 'Get this thing out of the way, it's false, sorry, otherwise we'll have to sue you'. She hasn't responded to me, so tomorrow I think we'll file the lawsuit."
Thus, in a statement to ANSA, Luciano Belli Paci, Liliana Segre's son.
The senator for life was harshly attacked in a video by former ambassador Elena Basile, according to whom Liliana Segre would be tormented "just by the thought of Jewish children".
"I wanted to write to Basile, I sent her an email, pointing out that she had said something completely false. My mother has always repeated, even with Fabio Fazio, that she doesn't make distinctions, that children of all kinds cause her infinite pain. nationalities, of all faiths, Israelis and Palestinians. So what Basile said is totally false."
"My mother - added Liliana Segre's son - had already said in recent days that it was a period of terrible dejection for her due to this general situation.
Frankly, being bloodily insulted by a character who should be presumed to be of a certain culture, like Basile, and even being compared to the Nazis, because the Nazis, says Basile, cared only for their own children and my mother would do the same thing, well, it goes beyond the limits of any possibility of tolerance and decency. We are beyond good and evil."
