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

On April 25 in Milan, the annual march marking Italy’s liberation from Nazi-fascism unfolded along familiar lines: partisan songs, flags, and a civic ritual rooted in the memory of resistance.
By midday, that sense of unity had fractured. 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.
