The leader of Italy's Jewish
communities said Sunday that the freedom to demonstrate had been
abused Saturday by a Rome march which was allegedly used by
those who want to destroy Israel.
"Thanks to the police. What we saw yesterday was not free
thought, it was an abuse of the freedom to demonstrate by those
who seek to destabilize a state of law," said the president of
the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI) Noemi Di Segni.
"The Palestinians themselves are abused without understanding
that their slogan and that of the pro-Pal is being channeled to
reach the destruction of Israel and the incitement to violence
with the aberrant accusations and reversal of every truth".
Some 34 police and four marchers were hut in clashes at the
event after alleged infiltrators threw stones, paper bombs and a
road sign at the officer who responded with baton charges, tear
gas and water cannon.
