Jewish father attacked by mob at Italian service station

He says in the article he expects it...
And he has for years:
Among other things, Noemi Di Segni, president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, alleged that ministerial support for revenge attacks on Arabs and other minorities in the name of Jewish identity had made it “impossible” to be a proud Jew or Israeli.
“The pride we feel toward Israeli institutions must continue. It cannot become a thing of the past,” Di Segni said during an event at the Spanish Synagogue beneath Rome’s Tempio Maggiore.
Di Segni appeared to refer to increasing settler violence in the West Bank amid a wave of Palestinian terror attacks. Last week, extremist settlers responded to a terror shooting in which two brothers were killed by rampaging through the Nablus-area town of Huwara, setting homes and cars on fire. One Palestinian was shot dead and several were badly hurt.
It's just now he's apparently forgotten why everyone is so mad at Israel, and who spends millions on propaganda conflating Israel with the Jewish religion

Commenting on the incident, Noemi Di Segni, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, said: “If simply being visibly Jewish is enough to provoke such a violent attack – if a family cannot safely move through public spaces in this country – then the legitimisation of hatred and antisemitism has become viral. This is about everyone’s freedom being at risk. Holding on to respect and dignity for every person is the only path that protects us all.”
Yah, well let us start with Palestine and the Palestinian people, Noemi. These incidences are purely perpetuated by Israel's actions. This statement shows zero self-awareness of the plight Israel is causing in the world.

Like, he was literally warning people that Israel's actions would lead to this, this happened, and he forgot why.

Did I say it was "okay"? I didn't, but the blame of Jewish ire should be focused properly. On Israel and Netanyahu.
Blame the fucking racists. The fact that Israel is guilty for the atrocities in Gaza and the West-Bank is no excuse for attacking a french family.
-
This man is a french citizen. How is he reponsible for anything Israelis do? How come that racism is ok if the target of the racism is of the Jewish faith?
This is an innocent family being attacked by racist and you are telling us that's ok. Disgusting.

A French citizen can also be an Israeli and even if thats not the case here, Israel has generous citizenship laws for Jews so it's trivial for them to make Aliyah and obtain an Israeli passport.

People will tend to vent their frustrations where they are. They aren't buying tickets to Palestine to fight the Israelis against genocide and famine there.

REALLY important to distinguish between a country wrapping itself in a religion and the religion itself.
Israel is responsible for the violence, and is a Jewish state. However, not all Jews are Israeli.

wrote last edited by [email protected]So what? Does the family have Israeli citizenship? If not, what is your argument? They might one day become Israelis so it's ok to attack them today?
And even if they are Israelis, how do you and the racists know what the families stance on the the matter is? Is a leftist Israeli that opposes his government and their action guilty just because he was born?
The assailants condemed them for their heritage, Because their heritage is all they knew about them. That is the textbook definition of racism.

As an American Ashkenazi Jew i have very little sympathy for my people left.
Almost every act of "antisemitism" i see is an attack against someone who is supporting the Gaza genocide.
Also the IDF is using American tax dollars to spam social media to conflate antisemitism with antizionism
Any moral Jewish person left needs to be condemning Isreal and Zionism.
Edit: oh wow this one wasn't a Zionist. Hopefully Netanyahu is shot soon so things like this stop happening.

This incident likely would not have happened without Israel's actions against the Palestinian people. By totally ignoring that, you seem to be defending famine and genocide. Right?

I get that being against Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank is not in itself anti-Semitism. That's clear. Lots of people in these communities like to emphasize the point that being Jewish and supporting Israel's actions are not the same thing.
Then something like this happens, and the mask comes off. People in this community think this man has some duty to fix the Palestinian crisis before he can expect to walk around in Italy with a kippah on.
Conflating Jewish people with the action in Gaza is anti-Semitic. Don't bullshit us on other threads how you're focused only on Zionism if you're not going to condemn this here. And spare us the "I don't condone it, but I understand it" crap too. You understand a racist mindset too well.

I remember when Arab Americans objected that it wasn't their responsibility to condemn terrorist attacks every time they happened, since they personally had nothing to do with them and were only connected by race or religion with the perpetrators.
They were right.

wrote last edited by [email protected]No of course it doesn't justify violence. My point is that unless they have explicitly renounced Zionism it is reasonable to assume that they support Israel.
Israel has completely and deliberately ensconced itself in Jewish identity such that religion and ideology are largely inseparable.

I thought that the headline was talking about the mafia for a second, there.

This goes a lot deeper than Netanyahu, and frankly not much will change if he dies tomorrow.

I think if Israelis shot their genocidal leaders they wouldn't be able to commit genocide.
Probably a lot more memebers of the Zionist party would have to be shot before the genocide stopped tho.

Okay two things:
-
Even then, attacking people for what you assume they think is nothing short of mob terror and morally reprehensible. What evidence do you have of his wrongdoing?
-
You have no idea if they did denounce Zionism previously. Maybe they did on social media or to their friends and family or whatever, or maybe they didn't to avoid backlash. You know nothing about this person except that they got attacked at a gas station for wearing a kippah and you're going on about Zionism. Like, take a look in the fucking mirror because what you're pushing is getting dangerously close to Jewish collective guilt. I have a burning and more than a little bloodthirsty hatred for Zionism and Zionists, but let's not get our shit mixed up okay? Just because the status quo is bad doesn't mean that a repeat of this would be good, so stop playing into Zionists' hand with this nonsense.

They were right.
Yet the actions of a few individuals resulted in racist attacks against the entire race.
Sadly all Jews can do right now to not get targeted is make it very clear they don't support the Zionists and their genocide.

This story seems extremely fishy to me. This guy is claiming that an entire group of strangers including transit employees just lost their minds and grouped together to violently assault him at the mere sight of a kippah? That seems extremely implausible and reminds me of the other recent incidents where Israeli men were running around a neighborhood assaulting people and making death threats toward residents before the residents turned on them. The media just reported it as "Jewish men attacked for being Jewish" before the real story came out days later.
If the situation were really this bad in Milan, this would be more that just a single incident against one individual.
