Title: Italians and Jews
Post by: JewishAmericanPatriot on June 06, 2010, 04:06:02 PM
In my life I've noticed that most Italians, alone amongst the peoples of Europe, seem to have very little hatred of Jews. This applies even more to Italian-Americans, and we have a bunch of Italian JTF supporters here, too.

My own family is half-Jewish and half-Italian, in fact. Then, I found this article, which, although its not about Jews and Italians primarily, does have a very interesting quote in it:

http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-jewish-genome-20100604,0,7364243.story

Quote
"That explains why so many European and Syrian Jews have blue eyes and blond hair," Ostrer says. It also explains another of the team's findings — that the population most closely related genetically to European Jews are Italians.

Who knew?  ;D

Interesting. I always knew the Italians supported the Jews.

OMG! Many many Italians have an outright HATRED towards Jews. Many are still today taught at Catholic schools that Jews were the murderers of Jesus. And "Jew" is used by many Italians to describe a greedy person or a swindler. BTW: This is the same as in Turkey. "yahudi" also means swindler and greedy person in Turkey, while "yahudilik" (Jewishness) means fraudulent behaviour or lack of loyalty... Once again, Italy and Turkey have something in common.

I am one and have yet to see any that are Anti Jewish.  I for one am an American with Italian roots ( I hate calling myself an Italian American ) and a Catholic and was taught from a very young age to love the Jews as you would love your own.  The ones that are anti semites aren't really Catholic and are a disgrace to anything period.  I am sure there are a handful like any other group but there is a majority who do love.  Not long ago in Rome which is the epic center of Catholics there was a big pro Israel/Jewish demonstration made of all Italians. They held both the Israeli and Italian flags together. All the monks and people around. Of course this wouldn't get media attention cause something like this they hide.

Survey says:  He grew up in Germany as a Nazi?

I was at the Israeli Consulate this past Friday, I spent time next to a "Baptist" who conversed with me a bit about his beliefs, during the course of the conversation he explained to me about "supersessionism" or "replacementists" and how the Catholic Church was based upon these beliefs and why relationships with Jews were difficult with this Catholic Church.  He explained how Catholics think that somehow the Eternal Covenant with the Jewish people was abrogated by Jesus coming.  I guess I knew something about this already but he explained it from me in person vs. what I have read.  I also got an invite to his church and was offered a pamphlet about his church both English and Hebrew, which I thought was kinda strange [I politely declined].

I would consider myself an expert on this topic ;)
I believe that the reason that many Italians and many Jews are genetically similar is that both groups are made up of a mixture of  middleastern/Mediterranean   and  northern European  DNA.  Many if not most of the Jews of Europe descended from the middle eastern peoples (ancient Israelites) and got mixed with German and or European blood.
     Now many Italians have the same type of background. Remember, for example that the Etruscans and the Phoenicians (middle eastern peoples)  both colonized Italy and got mixed with the people of the Italian Peninsula who were already there (Sabin es, Brut ti,) and later Germanic and other northern Europeans invaded Italy and they were mixed in.

So to conclude, both Italians and Jews are a mixture of middle eastern elements and northern European elements  (for the most part or a large part).

Now as for the catholic bashing. I have my reservations about this pope, however the catholic religion that I grew up with, had nothing but respect for Jews. We even visited a synagogue when I was in catholic school and we were taught to respect the roots of our religion...the Jewish faith,

It all comes down to this...I DEFY ANYONE TO RECITE a quote from Jesus where he said to harm or be disrespectful to Jews.  A true catholic follows Jesus not the pope when he's obviously wrong or goes against Jesus' teachings.

Italian Zionist makes really great points, I was thinking about the genteic end of it also.   In my family, I have cousins with dirty blond hair and blue eyes, and other cousins with dark hair,  dark eyes, and tan skin.  But I'm the best looking of all of them.  :)

It's historical fact that American Italians and Jews living side by side in Queens and NYC were good neighbors to each other, living in harmony.   

Many Jewish businesses were protected from violent black criminals and thugs by the Italian mafia as well.

I grew up in one of those neighborhoods.  I learned that I have more in common with my Jewish friends, then not. 

I am both Italian and Catholic.  I have never, in my life, been taught to hate the Jewish people by either my parents or my church.

Thank You Kahane-Was-Right BT for making your post.

At least Italian media is not as leftist Israel-bashing as most European media. Italian TV shows the atrocities of Hamas and Hizbullah, Germany in a very censored version, France, Spain and others do completely ignore them! They are surely afraid of the reactions by the native people and their attitudes towards Muslims when they see the whole truth.

The Italians worshipped Mussolini who was Hitler's best friend, sent Jews to Auschwitz and even led the concentration camps in Croatia where Jews from Italy, Northern Africa and Hungary were murdered. Italy had its own Nurenberg laws and the fact that they were Jews in the Fascist movement means nothing because they were WAY MORE Jews in the Communist party as well. The Italians glorified the Roman Nazi Empire and if Jews took part in it it just shows how self-hating they are.

I agree that a vast majority of Italians are not antisemites, unlike other European nations.
However, Italy, just like all the rest of Europe, is unfortunately subject to widespread anti-Israel propaganda and this is taking its toll...

    Mussollini and the Fascists

Mussolini and the Fascists seized power in Italy. The Fascists were not initially ravidly anti-Simetic. Mussollini in fact had Jewish supporters. This Gradually changed. Gradually German influence grew. The Fascists enacted the Falco Laws which abrogated article 8 of the Italian constitution guaranteeing religious freedom. Mussolini coming under increasing NAZI influence issued the Manifesto of Italian Racism and declared the Italians to be part of a "pure race" (1938). The Jews were excluded from the pure Italian race. The Fascists proceeded to expell Jews from all public services, including government posts, the army and public schools. Italian Jews began leaving Italy, but as with Jews fleeing the NAZIS, it was hard to find countries to accept them.
The Holocaust

Mussolini was not strongly committed to anti-semitism. Mussolini only imposed the first anti-Jewish regulations in 1938, after prompting from Hitler. Italy had a relatively small Jewish popularion of only about 45,000 people. The Italian people and Catholic clergy, however, managed to hide most of their Jews fron the NAZIs and Fascists. Italian Jews were thus spared the full force of the Holocaust and many managed to survive. The worst time came after Mussolinin was deposed and Italy surrenderedc to the Allies. The Germans quickly disarmed the Italian Army and occupied the country. They used the opportunity to begin rounding up and transporting Jews to the death camps. The Germans only managed to deport and kill about 15 percent of Italy's Jews, the lowest ratio in among occupied countries. This is especially surprising given the fact that Italy was an Axis partner. The lack of commitment on the aprt of Mussolini to genocide and the realtively short paeriod of German occupation are factors in the survival of Italian Jews. Considerable controvery surrounds the role of Pope Pious XII. Despite considerable anti-semitism among Catholic clerics, the clergy played a major role in saving Italian Jews. Ilalian priests, nuns, and monks hid Jews in monasteries, convents, schools, and churches. Jewish families were sheltered and fed at great risk to the individuals involved. One historain describes "massive support" on the part of the clergy often without orders from their superiors for the rescue effort.
Post-war Italy

Unlike many European countries, most Italian Jews survived the War. They were hidden by neigbors, friends, strangers, nd the Church. Few of those deported by the NAZIs survived to return. Jews in Italy weith the defeat of the Fascists were rstored as full citizens. Many Italian Jews emmigrated to Isreael after it was founded (1949). Other Jews remained in Italy to attempt to reconstruct their lives. Here it was easier than in many other countries as most Jews had surviving family members and neighbors. The Catholic Church's attitude toward Jews began to change with Pope John XXIII and Vatican II. The Church absolved Jews of any responsibility for the death of Jesus and renounced the centuries old claim that Jews had been rejected by God.

From time to time, there arise debates on this forum as to whether Jews are a distinct ethnicity. This article proves this definitively.

Let's not forget the RCC and the Pope's crimes against the the Jews during, before and way before the Holocaust. Let's not forget Fascist Italy too.
[/quuote] The Italian Fascists were hardly anti semitic some of the most prominent Fascists in the beggining of the Fascist movement in Italy were Jewish.Hitler told Mussolini to be anti semitic.Even with all Hitlers prompting wherever the Italian Army were they saved Jews in Croatia for example they raided the Croatians to save Jews google it if you don't believe me.

The Italians worshipped Mussolini who was Hitler's best friend, sent Jews to Auschwitz and even led the concentration camps in Croatia where Jews from Italy, Northern Africa and Hungary were murdered. Italy had its own Nurenberg laws and the fact that they were Jews in the Fascist movement means nothing because they were WAY MORE Jews in the Communist party as well. The Italians glorified the Roman Nazi Empire and if Jews took part in it it just shows how self-hating they are.

Stop looking for the love of the Gentile.

OMG! Many many Italians have an outright HATRED towards Jews. Many are still today taught at Catholic schools that Jews were the murderers of Jesus. And "Jew" is used by many Italians to describe a greedy person or a swindler. BTW: This is the same as in Turkey. "yahudi" also means swindler and greedy person in Turkey, while "yahudilik" (Jewishness) means fraudulent behaviour or lack of loyalty... Once again, Italy and Turkey have something in common.

Really? You mean the changes of Vatican 2 did not affect Italian Catholic schools? That's news to me, esp. since half my family is Italian and Catholic, and most of them attended Catholic schools, and not one is antisemitic. I grew up in a neighborhood that was Italian, Jewish and Irish, and the only antisemitism I ever experienced was from the Irish (esp. the Irish Catholic girls who beat me up, calling me "christ killer"). The Italian kids always came to my aid, I noticed.

So Mussolini and the Fascist movement served in the army? in the police? in the death and concentration camps? in the banks? etc etc etc..............

If your father truly denounced anti-Semitism he's no way a Christian because he just claim the opposite of what is claimed in your book.

About your last sentence - I will do so the day you blame only Ahmedinejad, Muhammad, Arafat and Saadam for the atrocities they made against other religions and peoples, and not the Muslims generally.

Hitler killed 0 Jews by himself - but those who obeyed his commands (the German people) murdered millions. Stop with his mercy upon the cruel. The German civilization is to blame for the Holocaust, not only the leaders it has chosen for its war against the Jewish people.

I agree. You know, my mother (obm) was raised an Italian Catholic; she attended Catholic school until about 8th grade, then went to public school. She converted to Torah Judaism when she was 18, and then met (and later married) my father when she was 21. My mother converted to Judaism during World War Two, not exactly a great time to announce you want to be Jewish. For most of her life she was the only convert she knew. She wound up being far more frum than my Jewish grandparents, something they disliked her for (can you imagine?)

I'm pretty sure she did not have an antisemitic bone in her body, not with all she had to endure first to become Jewish, but also to survive as a frum Yid, because she was always having stumbling blocks put in her way by my BORN Jewish grandparents.

Her family were not the most devout Catholics, but knowing them as I did, even if they had been I doubt they would have hated Jews. They made accomodations all the time for my mom, me, my sister, my dad, even getting kosher food for us. This was back in the day when nobody did this, long before "ecumenical" became a trendy term in the world.

I am just as proud of my Italian heritage as I am of my Jewishness, and I am glad to know of others here who are Americans of Italian descent, esp. fellow Jewtalians!  ;D

(And remember, Mussolini was only one man, driven by a lust for power, not a true hatred of Jews. His mistress was Jewish, and he often ridiculed Hitler behind his back because he didn't understand why Hitler hated Jews so much. Mussolini was also a Zionist, a friend of Jabotinsky, and helped Jabotinsky to a point.) Nevertheless my mother (and her family) hated Mussolini with a passion.)

I don't need you to approve of my people.  You don't matter a hill of beans to me.  I am here supporting my Jewish allies and Israel.  For I know, they way Israel goes America is next to follow.  Israel is like the canary in the mine for me.  If people don't wake up here.  We are doomed.  See where your anti catholoism and anti Italian rhetoric gets you.  You are causing great people to leave or never join JTF.  Shame on you.

Sorry, but it is ridiculous to say Italo-Americans are Italians. They aren't. I spend lots of my holidays in Italy. My sister is married with an Italian. And it was HE and his brothers who showed me their school books stating clearly that "INFIDEL JEWS WERE TO BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST". And for Italians it is always strange to see people having another belief than Christianity. One reason may be that Italy has until recently never had any huge religious minorities. The only minority in Italy was a tiny community of Jews. Now with the enormous influx of Muslims into Italy (there were mere 10,000 in the 1980's and the number rose to 1.2 million today), this opinion is shifting away from the Jews towards Muslims - but now with a real hostility! Milan and Turin have real problems and no-go areas which have turned into Muslim ghettos. This surely takes the attention of the Italians away from the Jews in direction of the Muslims. This also reflects in Italian opinions on Israel. Italy is everytime less critic about Israel's actions, since they are now experiencing the "blessings" of Islam themselves! The old "blessings" are long ago and have already been forgotten.
Southern Italy, however, still has more anti-Semitism than Northern Italy. And as I said before, "Jew" is still an offensice expression in Italy.

It is true that ALL European countries - every single one - has it's portion of anti-Semitism. Italy is nothing worse and nothing better than any other country in that matter. But I think the issue is not THAT he points these things out rather than HOW. To some people it might sound quite harsh. Then they feel offended, which is normal.

Ruby and Bullcat your decent enough people and I love and respect you, but why are you telling Ron to go back to the Hebrew forum.

A while back he sent me a very hateful message in private which I shared with the admins and that's why I have avoided talking with him for a while now.

He made fun of Jesus' name. How would you feel if I made fun of the name of Maimonides or the Lubavitcher Rebbe? I wouldn't want to do that anyway. Would you be more upset with me if I did that than you are about what Ron said? I bet you would.

He doesn't give a damn what happens to JTF in America. I think he wants America to go to hell.

So now I exist, Ruby? I surely don't care if you go to hell, but I love Americans such as Dan Ben Noah.

I wish you would go back to the Hebrew forum.

I am upset that you are saying that I hate Italians... I never said that.. I simply pointed out that the history of Italy and the Jews is a very complex one. All the way from the Roman empire to the Vatican...

I personally don't care what forum Ron belongs to.  He has the right to participate here.  I just don't believe that many of  his posts are helpful to JTF.
There is anti semitism every where.  Even in Israel.  Why condemn good people that are here to support you.  On a constant basis.  Most will only take getting batted around the head so long - before walking away.
I appreciate your defense of him and your trying to step in here.  I also appreciate what Ruby said.  If a movement of Jew and Gentile is disturbing to you, why participate in it.  I never understood that about Muman either.  Ron called me unintelligent, but he calls a person expressing their opinion an arse.  Butt Kisser.  That shows true intelligence and maturity.  Sorry - Irish Zionist but you have not changed my mind on this issue.

I wasn't offend by how he said Jesus and yes i'm a Christian too (btw Muman explained about Jews using the name Jesus and I suggest you read it over). Ok he sent a hateful message to you in private but I think you too should either try and work things out in private and try not to attack Ron personally and same goes to Ron. If you two don't patch things up then this will just keep getting worse and worse.

I think there are no leaders. But there are countries whose government seem to be more anti-Israel than others. Mostly the leftist governments. So Spain and Sweden are surely competing as most anti-Israel countries.

So are you offended by the fact that Ron has stated that if you're not anti-Semitic then you're not a real Christian? I do take offense to that and I don't want to patch it up with him as long as he's going to continue to be hateful toward Christians. He has stated in the past that he believes that Jews should only work with Noahides, and even that within limits. So as a Christian I by default can not work with him.

But I am not here to be liked. I am here because ths organisation has good goal and a good position. The ideology of JTF is what keeps me here and it depends on loyalty of it's members. I will stay loyal to JTF which is much more important to me than some people who offend me. I leave them aside and ignore them. The best you can do to not get an endless discussion that gets every time more filled with anger and hatred. This harms JTF and it's fundaments. And we should strengthen it...

People reading this forum need to know that Christians aren't just punching bags that keep coming back for more with smiles on their faces. People have been very patient with Ron and others attacks and I personally have tried to ignore it but sometimes it just crosses the line.

Bottom line is this. If you disagree with working with Christians you shouldn't be on the English forum. If he's going to insult our members by making fun of Jesus, etc. then why is he here? To tolerate that kind of behavior sends an implicit message that it's acceptable and within the rules. It's not acceptable to me even if it's acceptable to IZ or Muman or others who don't care if Christian faith is dragged through the mud.

I was offended by that statement too.
My Father fought the Nazi's.  He went off to war before he completed highschool.  He sacrificed much in life because of that.
He is Christian and not anti semitic.  I have never heard an anti semitic word from his mouth.
I am offended for him.

I suggest we lock this thread and move on...

We will not accomplish much by bickering like this. It was not my intention to say that Italian Americans are evil, should be guilty of the sins of their fathers, etc... But I wanted to point out that the history of Italy and the Jews is a very complex and sad one. The fact that the Vatican kept Jews in a ghetto is shocking and appalling. The fact that the Church several times imposed almost the same conditions as dhimmitude {wearing a yellow star, etc.} is another pock mark on the church.

But times can change, people can learn, and I hope that in the last century the Italian people have separated from that very sad and oppressive history...

בס''ד

There is no question that the fascist dictatorship in Italy supported Hitler and the Nazis during World War II. Anyone who supported the monstrous crimes of Nazi Germany is guilty of committing an unforgivable act. The fascist regime in Italy must be condemned along with all others who assisted Hitler and the Nazis.

However, we cannot blame all Italians and certainly not Italian Americans for the crimes of the fascist regime. Italian Americans fought loyally in the United States armed forces in World War II to defeat Hitler and the Nazis, and also to defeat the fascist dictatorship in Italy. If anything, we should honor Italian Americans for their patriotism and loyalty and bravery.
