ELIA VALORI, PROPOSED BOYCOTT OF JEWISH SHOPS "absurd and perverted strategy"

(Adnkronos) - "On behalf of myself and my Association Israel 60, I would like to express the most intense closeness and solidarity to the Roman Jewish community for the absurd and perverse proposal to boycott the Jewish shops in Roma as protest for what is happening in Gaza," said the president of 'Israel 60', Giancarlo Elia Valori.

"The despicable provocation", stated Valori, "proposed by a small and insulated group, arouses indignation and outrage because it confirms the persistence of harmful prejudices even within segments of public opinion that should be metabolized by a real-time awareness of history." According to the President of 'Israel 60', "not feeding the hatred is what combats all intolerance which threatens the peaceful coexistence among men."
