Milan Jewish community denounces anti-Semitic hatred

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 29 - Walker Meghnagi, president of Milan's Jewish community, denounced on Sunday that "we are one step from a hunt for the Jew and from acts of open violence against religious and non-religious Jewish institutions and their representatives", commenting banners carried Saturday by demonstrators during a pro-Palestinian protest in the northern city, including one calling Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre a "Zionist agent".
    Meghnagi said behaviour displayed at the pro-Palestinian protest was of "exceptional gravity" and demonstrated that there is "no limit" that can be considered as "unacceptable" anymore.
    He denounced a "spiral of blind anti-Semitic hatred" and "genocidal appeals that can be compared to the Nazi-Fascist ones of the 1930s and 40s". (ANSA).
