What was the reason for the protest?
“It was related to what happened during the demonstration on April 25th: they reported verbal attacks.”
But what does she have to do with it?
“Nothing. I only participated in the demonstration on April 25th with the Jewish Brigade and the chief rabbi Riccardo Di Segni.”
What was the weather like?
“Impressive. Luckily there was a large deployment of police forces but the tension was very strong.”
Let’s go back to yesterday: did you go to talk to the protesters?
«No, I didn’t want to create more tension and put the people who work with me at risk. I limited myself to giving an account of it at the end of the broadcast.”
How?
«I said that it is never good for a journalist to become the news and that I am open to dialogue».
He was scared?
“No, but I ended up being targeted as if I were a criminal and I don’t like being treated like a criminal for things for which I have no responsibility, things that concern the government in Israel.”
The protest is now spreading even in the USA.
«There is a terrible climate here too. I receive many reports from the communities.”
What kind?
«Of people who cannot go around with the kippah (traditional headgear, ed.) for fear of becoming the target of attacks».
Does it happen that you also use some precautions?
“My children, who are 8 and 10 years old, have removed the Jewish school logo from their school uniforms.”
Do you find that the issue is being exploited by politics in Italy?
“I do not think so. I had bipartisan solidarity.”
