Souzan Ezz "Susan" Fatayer[1][2] (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; born 1 January 1965)[2] is a Palestinian-Italian translator, interpreter, academic and activist.

Early life and education

Fatayer was born in Nablus, West Bank,[2][3] to a Palestinian father and a Italian mother from Abruzzo[4][5] who had met in Brazil, and was raised in her birth city. In 1984, she moved to Naples, Italy,[5] where she graduated in Economics and Business at the Federico II University and then devoted herself to archival practices for historical documentation.[3][5]

Career and activism

Fatayer has worked in several fields, including as a cultural mediator and lecturer on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict,[3] focusing on her personal experience with Israel's human rights violations against Palestinians[4][6] and more recently on the Gaza war.[7] She is an expert collaborator of Arabic language at the University of Naples "L'Orientale"[5][8][9] and the University of Macerata, and also briefly worked at the universities of Florence[10] and Venice.

Fatayer is also active in social and humanitarian initiatives. Among her activities, she has been involved with Women in Black, as well as with a project to treat Palestinian and Iraqi children with heart conditions, coordinated between the regional authorities of Campania, the Palestinian Medical Relief Society and the Red Cross. For her efforts, she was awarded the prizes Una donna per la pace ("A Woman for Peace") by the municipality of Naples in 2003[3][8][9] and Campania per la pace e i diritti umani ("Campania for Peace and Human Rights") by the region in 2005.[8] In 2002, she was part of the first trip by a Neapolitan delegation to Nablus, which would be the basis to establishing a twinning relation between the cities the following year.[11]

In June 2024, she was one of the Greens and Left Alliance candidates in the European Parliament election for Southern Italy,[2][8][9] ultimately coming third in her list with 23,532 votes.[5] Her candidacy received criticism from opponents, particularly Brothers of Italy, for her outspokenness about abuses by the IDF and for comparing Zionists to Nazis.[12][13]
