Anti-Israel protest at Italy jewelry fair turns violent
2024-01-21
[IsraelTimes] Protesters clashed with police in the Italian city of Vicenza on Saturday after a demonstration against the presence of Israeli exhibitors at an international jewelry fair.

Police used water cannon against demonstrators who fired smoke bombs and flares after violence erupted like lava from a volcano after a planned march by hundreds of people,
...only hundreds? Pathetic!

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
More than 1,300 exhibitors from almost 40 countries are showing at the Vicenzaoro fair, which opened on Friday and runs until Tuesday, according to organizers.

A spokesperson tells AFP the festivities took place several kilometers away and had no impact on the event, while declining to give information on the Israeli presence at the fair.
One wonders if that means the Joooos were sent home or just locked away far from foot traffic for their own safety.
Vicenza mayor Giacomo Possamai says there was "no justification" for the violence.
They’re Black Bloc, yer honourness. Violence is their raison d’être. The cause of the day is only an excuse.
"It also hurts the causes that it claims to support — it is a contradiction in terms to demonstrate for peace and a ceasefire through violence," he says in a statement posted on social media.
