Italy: Must not defend Israel
After five people were hospitalised on Tuesday in Naples, protesting over the Italian public broadcaster Rai’s coverage of the humanitarian crisis and death toll in Gaza, more protests have been announced for Wednesday in Milan and for Thursday in Bologna.
Five policemen were also injured in the clashes, according to reports. In videos, the protestors are seen moving towards the gate outside Rai’s headquarters in Naples, allegedly to hang a banner.
Access to the gate was blocked by police who attacked the protesters with truncheons. Clashes also happened in Turin. The number of people injured in Turin is not clear, but police identified more than 50 protesters.
The protests follow a statement by Rai’s CEO, Roberto Sergio, read by TV host Mara Venier during her program on Sunday, Domenica In. In it Sergio expressed solidarity with Israel and its “right to defence”, criticising singers Ghali and Dargen D’Amico’s who had called for a ceasefire and accused Israel of “genocide” from Sanremo’s stage on Saturday, the night of the final of Italy’s most important music festival.

The word "genocide" has become completely meaningless. It used to mean an active attempt to completely annihilate a people group from existence based on their ethnic or genetic sub-types or shared cultural or religious beliefs. No population of people upon which a genocide was actually visited would grow. If a true genocide is in progress, a population will at least stagnate, and most likely decline over time.
The Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire is estimated to have killed between 600,000 and 1,200,000 of a population estimated to be 1,914,000.
The Holocaust killed 6,000,000 of 9,500,000 Jews living in Europe [yes, over 60% of the population.]
Neither of these populations experienced growth during the period which they suffered a Genocide.
We need to remove "genocide" from a political term meant to inflame opposition to policies that we don't agree with or attack regimes that we don't like, and return it to the HORROR of what it is.
All liberals must have their Brains checked for signs of Stupidity
