Incidents of hostility towards Jewish people on vacation are increasing across Italy, Greece, Austria, and Spain. Jewish communities are sounding the alarm that this is not an isolated phenomenon. An incident involving a French Jewish family being verbally abused and physically assaulted while traveling on a highway in Italy highlighted growing antisemitism in the country. A director of a Jewish brigade museum stated that Italian Jewish citizens feel like second-class citizens due to necessary security protocols limiting their activities, and called for swift action by law enforcement against racist acts. He also urged politicians to be careful with slogans, noting that hate has real consequences for everyone. Other young Jewish Italians expressed growing concern over this trend. Furthermore, the Federation of Italy-Israel Associations issued a statement condemning an assault on a father and son who were insulted and beaten for wearing a kippah, citing a rising climate of hatred against Jews in Italy, Europe, and globally.
