The IHRA definition, which exposes the hallmarks of anti-Semitic hatred. The change of heart by Schlein, Conte and Fratoianni, who had previously aligned themselves with that stance. The pretext of freedom to criticise Israel and the flirtations with the crowd chanting ‘Palestine from the river to the sea’ 

Even the rally organised to oppose the bill is split, with chants and flags in support of terrorism. Ascari (M5S): “I didn’t see them.” Meloni and the government’s embarrassment over the settlers

A double test for the future of Germany and indeed of Europe

“I’m wearing it for the children who no longer dare to do so.” Meanwhile, Sweden, like other European countries, is witnessing shocking incidents of anti-Semitism
