15.6% of Italians think the Holocaust never happened; in 2004, it was 2.7

According to a new report, Holocaust denial was highest among center-left voters (23.5%) and supporters of the Five-Star Movement (18.8%).

Good thing the Israeli administration took part in a campaign of villification against Ilhan and Corbyn for their anti-Semitism.

    I'm not sure how much the Italian sphere has in common with the Anglo sphere when it comes to antisemitism discourse. Is there the same dreck about how antisemitism is something inherent to left wing politics, but that it is understandable and in fact the fault of Jews when it comes from other places (being too left wing usually)?

    Also, do yourselves a favour and don't read the comments. I'll sum it up by saying that the problem is muslim "invaders" according to them.

      It's the same sphere imo.

      I know it sounds like I'm talking abut a bogeyman, but Bannon spending a lot of time with the right in Italy and the rise of the right there is not a coincidence imo.

      There's a lot to read about his funding by the mercier billionaire family and how they are weaponizing social media, as part of a concerted campaign.

        The rise in ethnonationalism having the effect that people get sympathetic to nazis, who could have predicted this :surprised-pika:

        But it is slightly different to what I was referring to, but it is still related. Gonna give the pod a listen.

          It's extremely interesting , more about his philosphy than the (self declared dominionist) billionaires. Well worth a listen.
