"A growing segment of the public has also indicated that anger with Israel justifies violence against Jews. About 15% of Italians consider physical attacks on Jewish people to be “entirely or fairly justifiable,” according to a survey in September by the Italian research institute SWG."

"Multiple Jewish participants said they heard shouts about “soap bars,” an allusion to the unproven rumor that the Nazis produced soap from the human remains of concentration camp victims.

Daniela Ovadia, a Jewish participant, said on Facebook that she joined the parade “behind the banner of scouts of the Jewish left, grandchildren of the camps and partisans.” She said that a protester called her daughter one of the “missing bars of soap.”

Emanuele Fiano, the son of a Holocaust survivor who leads the pro-peace organization Left for Israel, said he also heard shouts about “soap bars.” He said that he marched with groups carrying a banner that said “Left for Israel, Two Peoples, Two States.”"


Yeah, it's just "protesting" the actions of Israel".
