15,000 Italians rallied for Israel in Rome. 2,000 more rallied in Milan. Good for the Italians!
Approximately 15,000 people participated in the rally, which was accompanied with chants of “viva Israel! viva freedom!” the website of the Italian newspaper La Republica reported. The rally was concluded with the singing of the Israeli national anthem, “Hatikvah.”
Protesters included right and left-wing politicians, local celebrities and Walter Veltroni, the mayor of Rome.
Toward the closing of the rally, many demonstrators attempted to approach the Iranian embassy, but were blocked by police.About 2,000 people gathered opposite the Iran consulate in Milan for a similar rally.
Israel’s ambassador to Italy, Ehud Gol, said he felt immense satisfaction following the rally.
“I know of no other place in the world where so many people will rally in Israel’s support,” Gol told Ynet.
We could make it a contest. Brava, Italia, brava!
(My sister-in-law is a paisan. Jews and Italians, we go together fairly well.)

Did their Foreign Minister chicken out because of investments in Iran?
I know that Orianna Fallaci was there in spirit.
