Effetto Venezia and Gaza

One of the treats of my “beloved” Effetto Venezia was this banner, put on display by some groups of the far left: “Fermare il genocidio a Gaza, Israele vero terrorista” (Stop the genocide in Gaza, Israel is the real terrorist). Our Jewish community protested in vain with the mayor, who also received a letter from the Israeli ambassador in Italy. The story is now national news, while on Thursday the city council has also debated a proposal for a twinning with Gaza. At last, the banner was removed yesterday.
