Holocaust survivor and life
Senator Liliana Segre said Friday that you do not fight hatred
with hatred after she had to be given a security detail
following a stream of antisemitic posts and threats.
"I don't forgive and I don't forget, but I don't hate
either," the 89-year-old said at a conference at Milan's Bocconi
University entitled Science for Peace.
"The spread of non hatred is a useful lesson for young people
and for everyone, because the current climate is due to
ignorance and indifference".
Segre was recently at the centre of a political row after
Italy's rightwing and centre-right parties abstained in a vote
on her proposal to create a panel against racism,
discrimination, antisemitism and Web-based hate.
