Walker Meghnagi, president of Milan’s Jewish community, denounced on Sunday that “we are one step from a hunt for the Jew and from acts of open violence against religious and non-religious Jewish institutions and their representatives”, commenting banners carried Saturday by demonstrators during a pro-Palestinian protest in the northern city, including one calling Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre a “Zionist agent”.
Meghnagi said behaviour displayed at the pro-Palestinian protest was of “exceptional gravity” and demonstrated that there is no limit that can be considered as “unacceptable” anymore.
He denounced a “spiral of blind anti-Semitic hatred” and “genocidal appeals that can be compared to the Nazi-Fascist ones of the 1930s and 40s”.
