In Rome, Jews Support a Neo-Fascist Because He's Good for Israel
This is important. In Rome, a neofascist has won the mayoralty, the first such rightwinger since Mussolini. Says the Financial Times:
Packs of young, thuggish supporters of Gianni Alemanno greeted the new mayor's appearance at the Campidoglio city hall with straight-armed "Roman" salutes, shouting abuse at communists and foreign immigrants.
Crucial to Alemanno's election were Jews, about 9,000 votes.
[They] explain their shift to the right in various ways, most often because they see the National Alliance as firmly pro-Israel. Michel Bokhobza, whose family fled from Libya to Rome in 1967, says Italy's centre-right is closer to Israel than the pro-Arab bias of the centre-left.
It just shows. Zionist Jews will abandon domestic issues, and historical voting patterns, in favor of Israel. It's the neocon model, the Jews who left the Democratic party over defense spending re Israel--and the Iraq model, Jews who supported a disastrous war because it might be good for Israel. Good news for John McCain.
When will my people feel secure in western society? And in this case they're supporting an actual neo-fascist, heir to the alliance that helped destroy European Jewry. Thanks to Dan Swanson for pointing this out.
