United Nations (UN) Palestine Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, in her post on the social media platform of the US-based company

"Why does Israeli culture need to be taught in Italy? Because this is part of the Israelification of society advocated by the elite in government (and part of the opposition). I hope the Italian people will oppose this declared shame," Albanese said. he said.

It was seen that many social media users also supported Albanese's post in the comments.

In another post he made during the day regarding the bill, Albanese said:

“This pro-apartheid bill (which is exactly the point): will prevent the claim that Israel is a racist state that has committed the crime of apartheid based on institutionalized racial discrimination, leading to genocide, will bring accusations made by the UN and other institutions into the scope of anti-Semitism, and will make Italy the vanguard of pro-Israel censorship.”

At an event he attended in Rome last month, Albanese stated that the anti-Semitism bill was against the Italian constitution.

Protests continue regarding anti-Semitism bill

Protests continue against the bill numbered "DDL 1004", which is being discussed in the House of Representatives and is publicly known as the "anti-Semitism bill".

Many people gathered in front of the House of Representatives, where the bill was discussed, and reacted to the bill by unfurling Palestinian flags, waving bells and blowing whistles.

Protesters held signs saying "No to the anti-Semitism bill", "Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitism" and "Protest is a right" and chanted "Free Palestine" slogans.

The draft law, which stipulates that the criteria adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) will be used as a basis in defining anti-Semitism, is currently being discussed in the House of Representatives for final approval after it was accepted in the vote in the Senate, the upper house of the parliament, in March.
