This is what stands for teaching in a high school in Italy:
The Jewish community in Torino, Italy, has demanded the dismissal of a high school teacher who has been teaching students that Israel has no right to exist and that it should be removed from the map, Israel Radio reported on Thursday.
According to the community’s complaint, the teacher has voiced support in his classes for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s calls for the destruction of Israel and has recommended that his students read Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
The Italian Education Ministry has opened an investigation into the matter.
Words fail.
We’ve come to assume that our WWII enemies were Nazis and Fascists… We don’t recognize that the European enemies were Germany and Italy.
And so we’ve come to be surprised by the bias of an Italian teacher.

I love the Dry Bones blog, but on this point I do have to mildly disagree with Yaacov. I don’t think any sensible Jew living in Europe would be surprised at the degree of bias, and ignorance in our educational institutions. It is the neo-communist liberal elite who will be surprised when their appeasement produces either a sharia state in Europe, or a backlash from the extreme right.
I tend to think that a backlash in Europe is preferable to life under Sharia law !
Either way the Jews of Europe are going to get hosed.
I’m not so sure about a right-wing backlash, although I thnk that if it comes it will be vicious, resembling a combination of the Algerian War with the Suppression of the Paris Commune. In France at any rate Le Pen seems to be cozying up to the radical Muslims now. He probably figured out that it was that side of his bread substitute that had the ersatz margarine on it.
Words fail.
Um, how’s “Anti-Semites of the world, die already”?
If the way the DNC is cosying up to the radical Muslims [see Imam’s “prayer” of at Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air] American Jews are not safe either.
It looks like Jews voting Democrat will be like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving.
