Anti-Semitism: "Liliana Segre, Jewish, I hate you". The life senator receives 200 online insults per day

of PIERO COLAPRICO

Yesterday an article by Termometropolitico, taken up by Dagospia, questioned the data published by Republic October 26: every day Liliana Segre, survivor and witness of the Holocaust, receives on average two hundred hate messages. "I wonder why it didn't die together with all its relatives", is the tone of the insults addressed daily to the senator for life. According to the site, which cites the report of the Anti-Semitic Observatory, "the episodes of anti-Semitism are 197 per year, not 200 per day". So for Dagospia and for the right-wing newspapers, Republic he would have invented an emergency, which would then be somehow self-fulfilled, given that due to this climate in Liliana Segre the escort was assigned.

So let's be clear: the 197 episodes of anti-Semitism made public have nothing to do with what happens on the web, and depend on various reports of individual facts, ranging from spitting to writing on the wall. Our data refer instead to hate messages on social networks: 200 per day are those verified, and indeed could be many more.It is the same Contemparanea Jewish Documentation Center that confirms: "This number (197 episodes a year, ed) has no relation to the number of comments or expressions of anti-Semitism on the net, which is much greater. The anti-Semitic Observatory, "the Cdec states," is not able to assign numbers to every single anti-Semitic comment that is read on the net. However, having surveyed 300 anti-Semitic sites and over 200 Facebook profiles expressly anti-Semitic as Voxdiritti does, it is clear to observers that the numbers with which the Italian company is dealing are of great importance. The Cdec Foundation ", the statement concludes," reaffirms the scientific nature of the data collected and is ready to take legal action against any action that could harm the Foundation ".

Insults to Liliana Segre, the statement of the Anti-Semitism Observatory

Then there is the underlying theme, which cannot be underestimated or hidden, and which concerns the alarm that exists in Italy for anti-Semitism and how it is growing. To Liliana Segre, who escaped the extermination camp, an avalanche was reserved, or rather various avalanches of hatred, by common people and by neo-Nazi and neo-fascist organizations. If this seems normal, it is clear that more than anything does not work in the political and social debate of these times.
