Italian anti-Semitism threat to Holocaust survivor

And it seems that the Italian right wing is not against hate as a principle.

Holocaust survivor, 89, gets police protection after receiving 200 threats a day


An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor has been assigned police protection after receiving hundreds of threats. Liliana Segre, who was sent to Auschwitz when she was 13 years old, said she has recently received anti-Semitic messages on social media.
...
Some of the threats were so serious that officials in Milan decided she needed protection. She will now be accompanied by two law enforcement officers when she goes out in public.
...
While Segre did manage to get the motion aimed at combating hate through the Italian Senate, it was not without difficulty and some disappointment. Members of the country's nationalist party, the center-right party and far-right party all abstained from the vote, which Segre said made her feel "like a martian in the Senate."

Are Jews fleeing Italy to Israel to the same extent that they have to flee the UK?

In the UK, it is the Left that are anti-Semites.

As I said in another thread our Right Wing defends any religion, and even the so called EUropean Trump" is definitely pro-Israel

While antisemitism is an issue on the left it is roughly the same on the right and a much bigger problem on the far right. Antisemitism in the Labour party is lower than the population at large and has decreased since Corbyn was elected leader.

This tells a different story and it is more recent –

Dame Louise, who has been in the party for 55 years, added: ‘I believe that Jeremy Corbyn is not fit to serve as our Prime Minister. With a looming general election and the possibility of him becoming Prime Minister, I feel I have to take a stand.’ And she told the Times newspaper that if he became prime minister ‘I believe that Jeremy Corbyn would be a danger to the country, a danger to the Jewish community as well, but a danger to the country too’.

Blunkett blasts Labour over anti-Semitism and 'thuggery' in major blow


Mr Blunkett's comments came after two of Labour’s former MPs urged voters to back the Tories instead.

Ian Austin and John Woodcock said they would be supporting the Conservatives as they did not believe Mr Corbyn was fit to be in Number 10.

Meanwhile Dame Margaret Hodge - one of the most prominent Jewish figures in Labour - declined to endorse the opposition leader as prime minister.

Also on Friday, another Labour candidate was forced to step down after allegedly making an anti-Semitic remark.

Gideon Bull, the prospective parliamentary candidate for Clacton, apologised after a Jewish councillor complained about a reference he made to "Shylock" – the Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice.

None of which proves that Corbyn himself is not an anti-Semite

Ok. Granted.

The point is : no Israeli or Jewish person curiously replied to the thread...
So...the example of the speck of dust and the log of wood...
We don't need an Israeli or Jew to know the details presented in the OP are terrible, and an awful thing was given a cold shoulder by some right wing parties.

The right wing has showed to be on the victims' sides...on the senatrix' side. Period.

Abstaining from the vote does not indicate this, it doesn't suggest it, and it's horribly weak evidence to base the claim on. They don't care is how they actions speak.

Yes, it was out of date.

Do you disagree with what I posted?

Actions speak louder than words.
I cited research by a Campaign Against Antisemitism. It isn't out of date. If there is a more recent report I'd like to read it.

You posted a couple of news stories. Is there any evidence contained within that antisemitism is specifically a left problem? I don't see it.

Further,

Looking at the political spectrum of British society, the most antisemitic group consists of those who identify as very right-wing. In this group about 14% hold hard-core antisemitic attitudes and 52% hold at least one attitude, compared again to 3.6% and 30% in the general population. The very left-wing, and, in fact, all political groups located on the left, are no more antisemitic than the general population. This finding may come as a surprise to those who maintain that in today’s political reality, the left is the more serious, or at least, an equally serious source of antisemitism, than the right.
