Italian anti-Semitism threat to Holocaust survivor

"I have black/brown/green/yellow/..... Friends, I am not racist"

So you love all Italians?
Even Italian Jews who speak Romanesco?
Cool...

Your imagined hate against Italkim is about as ridiculous as anything else you have to offer on such topics.

No..dear...I have much more in common with a Roman Jew than you do (with all due respect)...

Considering my Jewish friends are pretty secular...and speak the Roman dialect as I do

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."

Antisemitism never died in Europe. It just became unpopular to voice in public for a time

Sadly you're right.

Yah. Unlike Germany a lot of Europe never faced any serious repercussions for their own antisemitism. Germany has guilt almost at a cultural level built up since WW2. You could add the USA and Canada to the list too. Although unlike Europe there was no major collaboration by puppet governments and it's own citizens.

Family friends from the Netherlands that lived through WW2 had a lot of stories about collaboration. Their own neighbors willingly aiding the puppet government just for the "rewards (bounty). If "new siblings" (claim Jewish children as their own thus immune from the racial tests. The Dutch being seen as a lesser Aryan race) you couldn't trust neighbors in urban areas not ratting out to the government. I am focusing on urban populations as the Nazi's pandered to the middle-class. The lower class being more likely egalitarian communists in the eyes of the party.
