Slogans that appeared overnight in
Rome against Amnesty International and Emergency saying they
would have sided with Hitler if Israel had bombed
Auschwitz-bound trains were an "understandable reaction" to the
anti-Semitism disguised by sympathies for Gaza victims, Rome's
Shoah Foundation said on Holocaust Remembrance Day Monday.
"Today, on the Day of Remembrance, some writings appeared on
some walls of Rome that make a comparison between the present
and the past, a form of reaction to a long period of harassment
and anti-Semitic slogans, of attacks on Israel that occurred
even the day after the fateful 7th October," said the president
of the Fondazione Museo della Shoah di Roma, Mario Venezia.
"This form of reaction to an isolation that one does not want to
suffer is also understandable".
