Rome mayor condemns swastikas

(ANSA) - Rome, July 28 - The mayor of Rome and left-wing politicians expressed solidarity Monday with the capital's Jewish community after anti-semitic posters and swastika signs appeared on some shops overnight.
    Jewish Community President Riccardo Pacifici said the posters in the via Appia and Prati areas "remind one of 1933 when yellow stars were stuck on the entrances to Jewish-owned shops" in Rome.
    Posters on several stores in the Via Appia said "Anne Frank sings fibs" while others in Prati evidently printed by neo-Fascist militants struck an anti-Israeli note saying "Every Palestinian is today like a comrade -- One enemy, one barricade".
    "The anti-semitic writings that appeared today in different areas of the city are shameful and an offense to all Romans," Mayor Ignazio Marino said.
