I do not have much love lost for Europe, but if you will try to scrutinize the make up of all these demonstrators you probably not going to find that many actual Europeans. In reality Europe is slowly waking up and rising against parasites trying to highjack/destroy their societies.

Italians see themselves as the second coming of everything--- second coming of fascism, second coming of fundamental Catholicism, second coming of Marxism, second coming of la dolce vita. and all they are is second to none in stupidity A really very screwed up people, easily led. Tooo bad some Italians at least used to be great artists at least. Used to be. Even their food sucks these days. LOL Nothing but an inconsequential sewage dump anymore. Total waste of time.

Italy has been the home of Jews since antiquity, it was one of the few countries protecting its Jewish citizens from the Holocaust and Berlusconi is one of Israel's staunchest allies in Europe. Yet we are being told in the shrillest way possible that it is the dark heart of anti-semitism. Almost each and every day there is another country that is supposedly gripped by anti-semitism. Lately it has been Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Spain and whoever else. It is usually the hallmark of the media in tinpot dictatorship to see evil conspiracies at work in all foreign countries but Israel's media are certainly up with the best of those. It is easy to forget the help Israel received from all countries when your forests were burning, right?

There were demonstrators today in Jerusalem shouting 'Death to Arabs'?

I don't understand why my countryman and journalist Meoni is depicting an unreal world for those who are not in Italy. Ther is are a little number of idiots that signed a petition against the Israeli Cultural event that take place in my wonderful city of Milan. They are the same professionals left wing and pro palestinian that are anti-everything is west. Why give them this great visibility. Italians are in their large majority pro Israelis even if the left press (that is powerful) is pro palestinians. The Israeli event in Milano show how much we love this country. VIVA ISRAELE

Meotti's article is true and sad, it tells the reality that most of us in Italy don't want to see. Just think about how Vittorio Arrigoni, this Jew-hater, was depicted as a saint. Or how the Jewish communities and locals must be protected. Or how any Israel's event in the universities is boycotted

You European a-holes. We Jews have added culture and economics to Europe for centuries. Even during difficult times for us we kept our heads down and minded our own business. Now with the growth of Islam slithering its way into Europe you are ready to hang us Jews out to dry again. Remember after they come for us ...they will be back for you.

Hey buddy, my grandfather was killed in action in WWII fighting with the Italian Ariete thank division in Northern Africa. Our thanks were so outnumbered both in power and numbers that all entire division was destroyed while fighting and my grandfather is buried there. The last radio communication from Ariete commanding officer was "Ariete is surrounded, Ariete still fighting".and by the way we protected thousands of Jews in the face of fascism.

But also Christianity, Judaism, and all other religions should be removed. Except for Shinto, Buddhism and similar religions, they can stay because they're cool.

But it always starts with smoke then comes the fire. Please you and your friends should address this issue to your congregants and politicians that this hatred is an unItalian nowadays. Good luck - Am Israel Hai

Why the hell would ANY Jew be in ANY European country!? Their savagery has NEVER stopped: they're a pack of wild baboons, lock-stock-n-barrel! Top to bottom, inside out: even the "nice ones" have NO right to lecture ANYONES behavior! They should lecture themselves in the mirror and repeat the following mantra 1,000 times every morning: "I will not murder, rape or pillage, I will not murder, rape or pillage". Europe: the most disgraceful cradle of hatred nature has ever spawned. SCREW EUROPE!!!!!

We have our home land back now and they know it will cost them dearly if they try to invade because we aren't a culture of pacifists anymore. I just hope that Jews living in countries that have a history of anti-Semitism are able to get out in time. What do you expect from a Catholic country anyway? Just because its 2011 doesn't make people anymore enlightened than in the dark ages.

Support for the vandalism of what is a world heritage site

Never heard of it.

A few years ago, the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, conferred Gilad Shalit the honour citizenship of Rome. Since then, a very big poster of Gilad with the caption "We want our citizen Gilad Shalit free" is exposed on a frequented square on the Capitol Hill where the municipality is situated. Gianni Alemanno, a Christian, is sincerely pro Israel and pro Jewish. But I don't know how many Italians are like him, or if Giulio Meotti, whom I estimate very much, is exaggerating or not.

Guess which cultures see throwing shoes as an insult. It's not Christians or atheists. Should tell you who was behind it.

does not deserve a black eye because of the actions of their subversive leftists and arab squatters. Every country must deal with their own.

One of my former Italian friends banned me on Facebook just because I'm openly pro-Isarel. He became from a Jew-friend an ally of islamo-fascism and of of the biggest fans of the anti-berlusconian street dominated by left-wing. I think, if the left wing catches away Berlusconi and takes over Italy, the traditional Israeli-Italian friendship will come to an end. Unfortunately, the Italian left has no idea about Israel and depects the Palestinians as "angels".

B"H - Italian anti-Semitism goes back centuries and has two legs: Catholicism and communism. The Italian press, for example, routinely names the Temple Mount the "Flattened of the Mosques".

Unfortunately, I think that antisemitism is reality in Europe. In Czech, the state media spread anti-Israel propaganda everyday. One wonders who's behind it. What becomes sure, however, is that a Jew cannot feel safe for being simply a Jew, anymore...and that's real. What's gonna come next?

In Italy, 85% of the Jews survived the Holocaust. In many other European countries, 85% of the Jews perished. In 1920 in Italy (San Remo), the inalienable rights of the Jewish National Home were confirmed and formalized into international law, and Italy was one of the first nations to support it. Who is responsible for fanning the flames of these recent manifestations of anti-Semitism in Italy? The article's description of a "cultural festival" involving a shoe-throwing competition against images of Israel's president should provide the first hint. The shouting of “Allahu Akbar” and “Itbach el Yahud” (slaughter the Jews) at an Israeli student should provide the second. The deadly PLO terror attack on the Great Synagogue of Rome in 1982 should provide the third.

Your comment lacks substance, you need to clarify what you mean by "lies" among other things so I don't see what salma and nour can learn from reading your comment...

Palestinians live under the Palestinain Authority not Israel. Besides Israel helps them by giving advice on farming technologies in the Jericho area of the West Bank as one of many examples. By blaming the victim (Israel) for anti semitism is like blaming a rape victim for being attacked. Israel is a moral and great nation. G-D Bless her and all her people.

It would seem the jewish race had built a house of cards from Nuremburg to 9/11.And soon it will be time to pay the piper for the ravages the chosen have inflicted upon the goyim.I,for one think it is long overdue!

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THOSE WHO HARM JEWS PREPARE THEIR DISASTER !! REMEMBER THE SECOND WORLD WAR !!

Just wanted to inform you, that post no.16 is written by a mohamed from gaza, who signed as moshe....Happens a lot on this board...

Just wanted to point out that the journalist expelled by the Foreign Press Associacion, who all "happen" to be Jews, are 3, not 2 as claimed by the article. Besides Menachem Gantz and Ariel Dumont, there's also Eric Jozsef.
