Anti-Semitism can feed forms of terrorism says Piantedosi

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 13 - Anti-Semitism can feed forms of terrorism, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said Monday during an event at the Shoah Memorial in Milan with life senator and Holocaust survivor Liliana Segre.
    "Since 7 October we have had a 1000% increase in reports of hate sentiment," he said, referring to the Hamas attacks on Israel which killed 1,200, took 250 hostages and unleashed an Israeli response that has killed 35,000 mostly women and children in Gaza.
    "We have raised the barriers but the feeling of anti-Semitism can fuel forms of terrorism," said the minister.
    "I notice that in the public discussion there is a certain underestimation.
    "Denying someone the right to speak or assaulting a Jewish target is the wrong thing to do.
    "Any action that conceals a revival of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic sentiments must be rejected by all". (ANSA).
