In Italy, there have been mobs out in force in eighty cities up and down the Boot, and especially in Milan, in Rome, in Venice, in Turin, in Naples, chanting their anti-Israel and antisemitic slogans, smashing state property, including train and subway stations, and attacking police. The violence of these thugs now has gone far beyond their supposed outrage at the colonial-settler ethnic-cleansing genocidal state of Israel. The proximate cause of their violence was the refusal of Giorgia Meloni’s government to follow in the craven footsteps of France, Canada, Australia, and the U.K. by recognizing a nonexistent “state of Palestine.” In these crowds there were deep-dyed antisemites, and people fueled by an anti-Israel animus so great that it has metamorphosed into antisemitism, but there were also many in these mobs who just wanted to have fun, as the spoiled young nihilists of the Western world, and what could be more fun than destroying private and public property and bashing the police as they tried manfully to keep order, so that dozens of the “forces of order” had to be treated in hospitals? More on these mobs that are using Gaza as an excuse for their violence and destruction can be found here: “Milan Madness: Over 60 Police Officers Injured as Antifa and Anti-Israel Protestors Riot in Italy,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, September 23, 2025:
Far-left Antifa radicals and anti-Israel demonstrators erupted into violence in Milan on Monday after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni refused to follow fellow European nations in recognising Palestine as a state.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said that pro-Gaza protesters “deliberately” attacked police in Milan, leaving around 60 officers injured, Italian wire service ANSA reported.
Piantedosi said that “numerous troublemakers” attempted to exploit public sympathy over the Middle East war to “commit the usual acts of pure and simple violence.”
The local Corriere della Sera newspaper said that agitators attacked police with street cobblestones, glass bottles, garbage cans, bicycles, and stones. Police attempted to disperse the mobs with teargas, however, the Milanese daily said that it only “fed the anger” of the crowds, who reportedly sang “it will be Intifada here too”. In total, around 15,000 were present in Milan….
The “intifada” those mobs invoked was not just about a “rising up” against Israel; it was a threat of mass violence by nihilists. If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, these people would still be out on the streets, still attacking police and smashing whatever they could. The protest against Israel is merely, for so many in these crowds, a pretext for mob violence. This is part of the widespread collapse of authority in the Western world.
These rioters are simply enjoying themselves in a Sorelian sense: violence for its own sake. They can claim to be standing up for the people of Gaza, but very few of them really give a damn about the people of Gaza. Gaza is a pretext. These are people who with passionate intensity want to smash the state, to pull down authority, so that “mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.”

The miserable Leftists are destroying their country from within while facilitating Muslim conquest against the Non-Muslims even though the Muslims will annihilate the Leftists along with the Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). This is the sheer stupidity and wickedness of the West’s leaders.
Allah’s cursed Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.). Muslims are terrorists for Allah. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Quran 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”

According to the feature article:
“The protest against Israel is merely, for so many in these crowds, a pretext for mob violence.”
Surprisingly, I never thought about it quite that way.
But I believe that it is true.

Hudders. says
This week it was italy.
Coming to the UK soon.
With mosques hearing ever more radical messages & sharia courts/patrols, council officials & blasphemy laws almost fully manifested, soon the leash will be off the inbred, low iq thugs of the pro jihadist network.
Indeed thus, soon, there will be bloodshed on the streets of British towns & cities, as the feral animals begin their attempted take over.
Do not be fooled. This is their caliphatic plan.
Better wake up in Britain, for the danger is real & each & every day the many thousands of soldier age muslim males eager to bless allah with their violence, prepare for the the attack.
Britain is next.
Mockery after mockery.
When will enough finally be nough?

this kind of situation is how the Mafia rose up!

Dina–with respect–your idea that organizd crime is a reaction to Jihad and leftist chaos is mistaken. In fact, the Mafia’s “protection money” seems to be taken from the treatment of dhmmis under the Muslim conquest in Sicily.

Excellent article. Violence has come to be a definition of a Palestinian. And anarchism today as practiced by the youth/college aged Europeans, is violence for its own sake. They enjoy it because there is little violence back at them. Tear gas is the worse the rioters need to put up with. And even that is not the powerful type of tear gas that was used by South Korean police dealing years back against Korean protestors. South Korean police has tear gas dispensing trucks that fired volley after volley of much more powerful tear gas that really cleared streets of politically protestors. The use of tear gas by European police is anemic by comparison. Rubber bullets would be a much better way to deal with the violence of European anarchists.

Meloni should invoke emergency procedures and give the green light to police and troops to use deadly force on any demonstrator using violence, looting or destruction. It will stop dead! (Pun intended)

Islam is creating the reason for the riots. These marches/ riots are a good cover for bad people to do crimes both supported of the cause and basic criminals taking advantage of the chaos.
You have the right to free speech and to gather, but NOT to destroy or steal property.

Israel is a red herring. The communists and filthy islamists are erstwhile allies to overthrow western civilization and kill or imprison those who stand in their way. Is it time yet Europe?
