\"italics\"<\/a>By Daniela Gross<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you hate Israel and the settlers, read this novel. If you love Israel and defend the settlers, read this novel. But even if you don\u2019t care about the Middle East but love literature, read this novel.\u201d So posted the Italian writer Roberto Saviano on his Facebook page, a couple of days ago. The book he recommended is \u201cThe Hilltop\u201d, a novel by the Israeli writer Assaf Gavron, recently translated into Italian and published by La Giuntina.<\/p>\n

Praised by critics as a really interesting voice rising from the new generation of Israeli writers, \u201cThe Hilltop\u201d chronicles the life and times of the inhabitants of a fictional West Bank settlement. It is a comic saga, which offers a notable view of contemporary Israeli society, but most of Saviano\u2019s followers were not interested in taking into account its literary or social meaning.<\/p>\n

As Elena Lowenthal highlighted on La Stampa, on Thursday, they started posting \u201can avalanche of outraged and delusional comments\u201d, which shared a common virulent Anti-Semitic sentiment. \u201cIt looks like there is but a short step from the neutrality of the literature (and in the end from its own meaning) to pure prejudice, at least on the social media,\u201d she wrote, noting how ignorant and indecently Anti-Semitic many of these comments sounded. \u201cIt is hard to imagine what could be the right therapy, in this global communication world, where everybody writes, and nobody reads\u201d, she noted. Equally hard to accept is that this hatred speech in fact reflects part of the Italian society, in which still today someone dares to criticize cultural advice by simply commenting \u201cSaviano Jewish\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
