In 1944, “an official communique by the War Office announced the formation of the Jewish Brigade Group.” They heroically fought the Nazis. The group was comprised of a 5,000-plus man Jewish combat force under British Army auspices, and has been honored since the war. Now comes the pro-Palestinian lobby to torment the descendants of the Jewish Brigade group. This is reminiscent of how the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin al-Husseini actively collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. Al-Husseini allied with Hitler and Eichmann to oppose British rule and stop Jewish migration to the Jews’ ancestral homeland.
History now repeats itself with the Jew-hatred that is inherent in Arab nationalism. This incident at the Milan Liberation Day march is appalling, and the Italian government should deal with it severely, unless Italy wants the reputation of turning a blind eye to antisemitism on a level comparable to Nazism. The event ended in what Jewish leaders “described as a disgrace for the city and the country.”
The entire West should be dissociating itself from the brutal Palestinian jihad, which is disguised intentionally as a social justice “resistance.”
The same Nazi hatred that appealed to Arab nationalists (and still does to this day) has found a home among leftists in the West.
“Pro-Palestinian mob drives Jewish Brigade descendants out of Milan Liberation Day march,” by Daniel Bettini, YNet News, April 26, 2026:
Antisemitic and anti-Israel abuse marred Italy’s Liberation Day commemorations Saturday, with descendants of Jewish Brigade fighters and members of Milan’s Jewish community forced to leave the city’s main march under heavy police protection.
Hundreds of thousands of Italians, many affiliated with left-wing groups and labor unions, marked the April 25 anniversary of the country’s liberation from Nazi occupation and fascist rule. But in several cities, and especially in Milan, the commemorations were disrupted by violent scenes and chants directed at Jewish participants.
Among those targeted were descendants of the Jewish Brigade, a unit of Jewish volunteers from British Mandatory Palestine who served in the British Army during World War II and fought the Nazis in Italy, particularly on the northern front. For decades, the brigade’s fighters have been honored as part of Italy’s anti-fascist history….

Absolutely shameful!

Maybe Hamas in Italy can represent the Fascists at these parades
Rick Gordon says
Does Italy suffer from the same education deficit that the USA has built over the last 2 decades? Were those who disrupted the parade Italians or Muslim migrants?
Beans🫘 says
Probably both Rick. Europeans, including Italians are staunchly pro Palestine. There is heavy pressure to embargo Israel, and some countries have done so to yield to their citizens.
Muslims in Europe are very powerful because they are the swing vote, there is a lot of them.
There is no movement whatsoever demanding some kind of embargo on Islamic Islamist nations who cause trouble. In fact, Europeans are actively cheering for Iran and against USA. We are just suckers who protect them and buy their stuff at large trade deficits. They want the Muslims to win and us to lose troops and lose influence.

The Brits wanted to build an allied group composed of Jews and Arabs from the Mandate of Palestine and put out a call for volunteers. Only Jews showed up. Not one Arab. This was not what Britain wanted and so they sent the Jews home and didn’t act on it. Later in the war when things didn’t look good for the Brits and Allies, the British tried again to raise an armed group from the Mandate and put out the invitation to both Jews and Arabs. Again only Jews showed up. Not one Arab. This time, the Brits swallowed their political correct desire and begin to train the Jewish only Brigade and sent it to fight in Europe when it fought with distinction and after the war quietly executed Nazi members of the Odessa organization which secretly sent Nazis out of Germany to mainly South American destinations. The Jewish Brigade had members who looked Nordic and spoke perfect German. But the Jewish Brigade had one final job which was to find Jewish children who were sent to mostly Catholic Monasteries while the parents were murdered in the Holocaust and bring those children to Israel. The Jewish Brigade who ask for the children to be assembled by the nuns and in front of all of them ask “Are there any Jewish children living here at the monastery”? Little by little children came forward and these children were brought to Israel to begin a new Life. Every Jew should read the book “The Jewish Brigade” to learn of this wonderful and very important group of heroes of the Jewish People. You won’t be able to put the book down until you finish it.
