Antisemitism on the rise in Italy after Milan clash and Rome shooting – Jewish participants are driven from a historic anti-fascist march while a separate shooting in Rome intensifies a national debate over antisemitism, public memory, and civic space. | The Jerusalem Post | JPost.com

As the Jewish Brigade contingent entered the procession—joined by Jewish groups and pro-dialogue movements—it was met with escalating hostility from other demonstrators. Insults were shouted, chants intensified, and tensions moved from verbal confrontation toward physical threat.
