    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

      I mean, he can know what caused it and condemn it. Also the person saying he expects it and the one you’re quoting are two different people. The former is the victim in the article, who presumably has nothing to do with Italy.
