61. Re Charles
Jane ,   UK   (01.08.09)
.There are no excuse for israel to commit this crimes so we decidied to boycutt all israel organisations.I can not imagine how israel killed Gaza civilian. I am horified when I heard that 4 children left to starve when israel soldiers killed their mums. Every time I see the pictures of dead palestinian children I feel israel full of hatred and lost her path..
62. boycott
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (01.08.09)
The call for a boycott is nothing short of anti semitism the the Italian citizens with jewish faith are still Italian citizens their religious beliefs do not make them less Italian. Shame on those who suggest such bigotry. WWJD
63. to #2
David ,   USA   (01.08.09)
You are absolutely right - this crap would never fly in the US. Thats same US that did not have enough brains to create and support NAZI's and communists. That same US thanks to whom you in Austria, and the rest of the western eurabia are not speaking russian today.
64. To Jane, UK, #24, if ever there was a moronic remark
Jake   (01.08.09)
in addition to a savage mutilation of the English language (from the UK no less), yours would be the prize kipper: "even in the UK. we start to boydcut all the shops offers donations to israel ." Furthermore, if you had bothered to read the article, it would be apparent to you that the Trade-Union leader in question was attempting to organize a boycott of the shops of Roman Jews. You may be surprised to know that Jews were already living in the city of Rome when Britain was a remote island as yet untouched by civilization, inhabited by some barbarous forest-dwelling tribes known to travellers chiefly for their practice of human sacrifice and for some rather ingenious tattoos.
65. A flurry of responses from the UK

66. We are surprised Christendom remains antisemitic?
David Turner ,   Richmond, USA   (01.08.09)
"For fifty years we have been concerned for the Jews because of what they suffered in the Holocaust, but now it is time to be concerned for the Palestinians, who are the Jews of today..." As if any group could satisfy the honored place of Jews in Christian mythology for persecution! Yes, on behalf of my people I thank Flaica-Uniti-Cub union for their deference to our suffering the Holocaust Italy and Europe perpetrated on the Jews. How convenient that Italy et al can display self-righteous indignation at the loss of life the outcome of a defensive war by Jews. No doubt, with sixty years of distance between the worst criminal act by one religion/culture on another, Europe can now forget the past and become exemplars-in-their-own-minds of propriety and self-forgiveness and morality in accusing the Jews, again. But perhaps more frightening is we Jews assuming Christendom has the will and the means to reform its theology of anti-Judaism, thereby making a small gesture at penitence, and possible averting the next and likely more final Final Solution to their self-created Jewish Problem.
67. Don’t be surprise if Italian fascists supporting Islamic fas
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (01.08.09)
History repeat again during ww2 Faisal Al Husseiny the mufti of Jerusalem was supporting the Italian and German Nazism’s for annihilation of entire Jews and now after 63 years one more time the Italian fascists woke up but this time is difference because we have our State and the Jewish State will defend the entire Jews all around the world,
68. jews in europe
Jeroen Kesteloot ,   Kortrijk Belgium   (01.08.09)
Italy has always been a slow learner. Germany condems any anti-semitism but Italy stays ultra-right and fascist. You should see soccer-games there, Nazi-flags all over the stadium. The world is rapidly getting devided. Fascists don't know yet they will be submitted to Islam, in the end it will be the people of G-D against the people of Islam. They think paradise is waiting at the other end, but the only thing there for them is hell... Anyway, where I live, we have muslims and they're behaving. But we need only a hind of misbehaviour to teach them a lesson. Here they are still a minority, very unlike the rest of big cities in Belgium.
69. #54 Unwise To Push A Nuclear State
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
Too far in to the corner.What you advocate would be the last mistake you ever make.Go ponder.
70. bigot
Another type of Euro   (01.08.09)
Europe has learned its lesson I hope. We know how to choose between the bad and the good. Hamas is bad news. I think anti jewish sentiments pop into expression as soon as the opportunity arises. They willbe sorry when the muslim friends become the majority and start changing the face of Europe. They will learn what it is to live under terror threats, to be the minority to a majprity who is positve that their religion is superior and should be the religion of all. The Italian Inquisition? The French one? so on. Only this time, it will be christians that suffer if they don;t wake up. Boycatt the arabs you idiots.
71. #2 (I grew up in Europe)
eli ,   jerusalem   (01.08.09)
... so use it and don't believe fascist propaganda like 70 years ago. If the Islamofascists of hamas would be interested on their people, why did they buy missles and weapons instead of bread and medicine? To defend the strip? Did they afraid, that Israel would enter the Gaza again after it expelled their brothers by military force? You need only to read the statments from hamas about a ceasefire and you can easy see what they want. Dictatorships don't use to disapear by their own. Their force necessary. Have a look back...
72. #44
max ,   vienna   (01.08.09)
I assume You mean GAZA, don't You?
73. Desiderati the detestable
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.08.09)
8000 people in his trade union, the population of Milan is how many million?? Ha Ha, he has hit the big league. Maybe desidertestible and his Canadian version syd ryan can wisper sweet anti semitic nothings into to each othere ears. I have lots of Italian friends that are very pro Israel.They cannot stand what the Middle eastern whores oops hordes are doing to their country.
74. History repeats again fascists supporting fascists,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (01.08.09)
History repeats again in ww2 Faisal Al Husseiny the mufti of Jerusalem was supporting the Italian and German Nazism’s for annihilation of entire Jews and now after 63 years one more time the Italian fascists woke up but this time is difference because we have our State and the Jewish State will defend the entire Jews all around the world,
75. To# 2,Oh yes you have brains,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (01.08.09)
You never had brains, where was Hitler from and what disastrous Hitler have brought to the world? There is lot of advertisement all around your country with names and pictures of the brains that have escaped from Austria and there is a question on the top of that ad that asking from your people? What was the reason which that many brains have escaped from Austria? If you had brains you would never let that much true brains escaped from your country, it is all hate and jealousies and anti Semitisms, Get a real brains
76. nothing to do with "italian fascism"
pedro ,   madrid spain   (01.08.09)
Please be aware that the mayor of Rome is a member of the so called neofascist party which is part of the Italian governemnt. So please do not create confusion by calling Italy fascist and open your eyes and see fom which political side the antisemitism is coming from
77. Jacob asked G-od; Save me from my brother,Eisav.
Never Again ,   Ny,USA   (01.08.09)
78. Desiderati is being honest in his anti-Semitism
Zvi   (01.08.09)
"his union had already urged its members to boycott Israeli products, and boycotting Jewish-owned or Jewish-run stores was a logical next step" And this is equally true of anti-Semites everywhere; they just pretend otherwise.
79. COME HOME TO ISRAEL NOW!
Yirmiyahu   (01.08.09)
Wake Up! The Ribono Shel Olam is telling you all to come back home. It is easier to do it on your own than to have the Anti-Semites throw you out.
80. #68: "Ultra-right" or "ultra-left"?
Matt C ,   Canada   (01.08.09)
You seem to have things very mixed up. The unions of Italy are not "ultra-right", quite the opposite, and the man who is standing up for the Jews of Italy in this case, Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno, is a right-winger who was even labelled "neo-fascist" by the English-language media outlets when he was elected. While Rome's Mayor is far from fascist, as he has proven today and at other times, he is definitely right wing. Unions, on the other hand, are the almost exclusive province of the hard left, so you can probably guess where the anti-Semite union leader comes from.
81. #25
mark ,   ca   (01.08.09)
Feel your pain.;-).I had 2 Italian cars in my life.One was Alfa-Romeo ( back in Israel in late 70's).The other one is 2008 Maseratti Quatroporte.The first one I bought when I had little money after my military service.The second one ,when I had too much money and no brains;-))).It was a $180000 junk and I sold it after 6 months.Bentley is much better.
82. Italistan
Alin ,   Bucharest,Romania   (01.08.09)
Finally, Rome shows the whole world her real character....They side with terrorists against freedom.On the other side,the puppet from Vatican should remember Mazinkert.
83. Poor holy chosen ones
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.08.09)
People here started to understand what Israel is really about ... If the Jews in Italy are unhappy, they can leave immediatly and acutally what are they still doing here, they should leave to the promissed lands, to become part of the holy chosen ones. the fact that anything kind of critics is considered as anti-semitic by them shows that they really don't have many argoments to justify killing innocent children as if they are animals.
84. #72 I meant the EU
Mark ,   Boston   (01.08.09)
The European nations are using the Muslims to complete Hiiter's Final Solution. The EU is an Evil Union.
85. The UK residents reward terrorists.
Mark ,   Boston   (01.08.09)
A normal country would be angered that their subway was attacked by Islamic extremists. Not in the UK. They incite the extremists to engage in more violent attacks. The UK is the center of Islamic extremism and is responsible for endangering the entire world.
86. New pogroms are coming to europe
steve from raleigh   (01.08.09)
You'd have to be an idiot to ignore it. And rest assured that all your so called liberal tolerant friends will be silent when it happens.
87. Today and 70 years ago Anti Semitism was based on LIES.
JMK ,   NYC   (01.08.09)
88. #69 So Now You Threaten A Nuclear Holocaust
World Citizen ,   the world   (01.08.09)
if Israel is shunned. You see that is exactly the kind of attitude the world dislikes about Israelis. Don't get your way and you throw a temper tantum and threaten to destroy the world. You people need to learn some manners. You can't get respect if you don't give any.
89. A few secret nukes should be assmbled in europe....
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (01.08.09)
...so that when the euros try the nest holocaust they will get a well deserved surprise.
90. desiderati "has to do something"? demonstrate contra hamas
dante ,   uk   (01.08.09)
has to do something? how stupid can one be? ersatz morality from a sanctimonious, bankrupt, fool and his clueless followers. where was this swine when the swine of hamas were bombarding Israel?
