Roman authorities know that the pro-Hamas thugs could easily turn violent.
“Rome locked down for pro-Palestinian march,” ANSA, October 5, 2024 (thanks to Insubria):
Rome is locked down for a formally banned pro-Palestinian march Saturday with police controls at major checkpoints in the Italian capital.
Among the measures are checks in railway stations and motorway toll booths and a special security device with concentric circles around the area of ;;Piazzale [sic] Ostiense.
In Turin, meanwhile the police headquarters on Saturday banned a Pro-Pal demonstration on Monday 7 October…

If that march is banned, why is Rome locked down? Just arrest the first people who turn up for that march, and start deporting them: organize flights to the middle of the Fezzan desert and leave them there. If they are native Italians, toss them in jail for a few weeks, and fine them for all the costs incurred in their incarceration

And what does the old guy in the Vatican has to say about it all?
Perhaps he and his like-minded servants would allow the march inside his walls.
Peter WF says
He cannot even lead by example – There are no “refugees” in the Vatican.
OLD GUY says
The Pope should lead by example and either throw open the gates to the Vatican and take in thousand of muslim/islamic migrants or support all countries right to chose who they allow in. Can’t have it both ways.
Chess says
He isn’t immune to the scandal that plagues the Catholic Church.
How could he be?
He’s a scam.
Rufolino says
The old guy in the Vatican stated that Christians & Muslims worship the same God !!
Such ignorance !
And how traitorous to our Lord Jesus who said, “no one comes to the Father except by me” !

RE: hamas
“Up on a screen mounted on the wood-panelled wall are fourteen mugshots of the Hamas chain of command – most of them with a giant red cross over them to mark that they had been killed.
At the top of the chain was public enemy no 1, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, with his grey hair and salt and pepper beard. For the first time since the war began, he had a question mark over his head.
Two well-placed Israeli officials told The Telegraph that the defence establishment believes that Sinwar is now dead.
One of the sources said that “it is highly likely that Yahya Sinwar was eliminated in one of the IDF strikes. The assessments in Israel’s security leadership suggest that Sinwar was most likely killed.””

somehistory,
Still murky on the fate of Sinwar.
But it would be great if the IDF got him…
somehistory says
James, some feel they have already.
But if not, it won’t be long before they do. Somehow, I think they are bound and determined to be like the once Royal Mounties…always getting their man.’
Perhaps like young David, they’ll find just the right stone.
James Lincoln says
Yes.
As long as he is “as good as dead”, somehistory.

If they find a corpse that resembles a monkey, that probably him.

Pro Hamas demo is not allowed, but people can still be Hamas supporters. So, what is the point of disallowing the demo? Why disallows people expressing their opinion? If expressing a pro Taliban opinion which is not against the law is not allowed, then it can be a precedent to disallow other expressions such as Christianity etc.
Better, let pro Hamas demo take place, let them break the law, then arrest them or shoot them if they oppose, then kick them out of the country after they pay all damage inflicted. Other people would see what kind of people the Taliban supporters are, and may finally get awakened that Islam is an evil religion.

Truly amazing that Rome should be “locked down” rather than locking up the protesters and deporting them if they are seeking asylum. Fraudulent “refugee” claimants are the key organizers and Italy and the other Mediterranean countries are being flooded from thousands of phony “refugees” (economic migrants who should apply for visas!).
Meantime, Turkish human traffickers are charging $5,000/head to transfer fromSyria, Afganistan and Pakistan to Istanbul and from there to the Med islands!
Italy made a deal with (pro-Islamist) “socialist” Albania’s gangster-leader Rama to house in their narco state 50,000 “refugees”! Hope the Vatican is happy about it!!
Why should a big EU city like Rome be forced to do a “lockdown” to allow these terrorist supporters to parade and wave their blood-soaked jihadist flags and parade their “made in Islam” “walking black female prisons” ?

Same thing happening here in Australia here this weekend in Sydney & Melbourne.
