Corriere della Sera also dares to make a historical comparison:
“In 1968 there was the Vietnam War, now there is Gaza. … The protests are radicalising. …. The outrage over the ongoing humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip often goes hand in hand with open support for Hamas violence. … There is another parallel: sociological studies of this great youth uprising have shown that the 1968 generation was the first to grow up in prosperity. The explosion of protests was the result of the economic boom, which had also created new needs, purchasing power, consumer behaviour and unprecedented freedom for young people. Today, Generation Z, as those born between 1997 and 2012 describe themselves, is also benefiting from unprecedented prosperity.”
