Chamber of Deputies for the Italian Democratic Party ( PD ): “ the capitalist financial system finds the financial resources to fund the war economy of the world ’ s principal colonialist state : Israel . For nearly seventy years , this state , in the name of a Zionist , racist ideology , imposes an anti-Arab system of apartheid and colonialization on Palestinian lands . The most recent pseudo-elections have reappointed a paramilitary regime to the helm of this Zionist entity , supported by a fundamentalist and colonial political bloc , whose program is to annihilate the aspirations of the Arab-Palestinian people . We must continue and relaunch the campaign denouncing the Zionist presence in Italy and in the world . [...] This is absolutely the path to be taken because the Zionist plan to occupy space and power within Italy has not been defeated and has not ceased moving forward . This is clearly demonstrated by the attempt to present a candidate for mayor of Milan who is an openly declared Zionist , a supporter of Israel and the crimes it has committed over the decades : we are talking about the home affairs spokesman for the Partito Democratico ( PD ) appointed to reforms and member of the Chamber of Deputies , Emanuele Fiano . It is important to denounce and fight the policies of the PD , a party that is forging policy in Italy in favor of the banks and vested interests , in the service of imperialism and Zionism . In the guise of squadristi , the PD took to the streets on April 25 not to commemorate the 70 th anniversary of the Liberation , but to escort the Zionists . It thus came as no surprise to us that the agents of the PD escorted the Zionists in the Jewish Brigade like guards from a private security agency that escort armored cars . A ‘ pretty sum ’, Zionist capital , that is flooding the election campaign of this freemasonry , in which the presence of prominent exponents such as Emanuele Fiano acts as the protector of the ‘ treasure ’ like a bank director protects the vault .” ( July 24 , 2015 )
• Anti-Semitism against Emanuele Fiano . A page on Facebook urges people to boycott Radio Popolare after it broadcast an interview with Emanuele Fiano , deputy of the PD : “ Emanuele Fiano is a Zionist ,” writes the author , Francesco Giordano , previously sentenced to 21 years in prison for the killing of Walter Tobagi , and a supporter of the Palestinian cause , “ representing the right wing of the PD , a racist ( immigration detention ) party of warmongers .” Another user subscribing to the initiative wrote : “ To further his career [ Fiano ] would wash himself with soap made from his relatives .” ( July 31 , 2015 )
Anti-Zionist or prejudicially anti-Israeli discourses are aired in various milieux , not all necessarily extremist . They include broad segments of the Movimento 5 Stelle ( who often express their anti-Zionism in the terms of conspiracy theorists ), the SEL [ Ecology and Freedom Party of the Left ], members of the PD aligned with the pro-Palestinian factions , and individuals from various political groupings with a Catholic background .
Particularly significant are statements by former Prime Minister and former President of the European Commission Romano Prodi in a long interview with the newspaper Il Fatto on December 1 st : “ The Israeli-Palestine conflict is the mother and origin of all wars , but as long as Netanyahu is leading the government in Israel peace is impossible .”
