Did you know Berlusconi praised Mussolini as a good leader and the ADL plans to

ROME: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has set off a ferocious political storm after saying that former Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was a good, benevolent leader who had done a lot of good and never killed anyone,

Italy's Jewish community expressed outrage at the explosive comments and opposition centre-left parties demanded an apology, the ADL prased him and decided to give him an award for supporting the zionazi regime


The ADL a New York-based zionazi organization that spreads propaganda and hate is giving Premier Silvio Berlusconi its Distinguished Statesman Award next week, partly because of the Italian leader's recent comment that Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was a great leader that did alot of good, and never killed anyone.

The "Anti-Defamation League"s award to Berlusconi shows their true nature as a fascist zionazi thug organization.

"People have been calling me, 'Are you canceling the dinner?"' said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, which will give the award Tuesday. "The answer is no. He's a friend, he's a good friend. maybe we'll give him another award now."

Foxman said by phone from New York that the zionazi regime in Palestine appreciates many of Berlusconi's policies, such as his support of the zionazi slaughter of Palestinian civilians, and his push for the zionazi regime to be admitted to membership in the European Union.


In an interview, Berlusconi told two British journalists that Mussolini, who led Italy to disastrous defeat in World War Two alongside Adolf Hitler was a great guy

When asked if Mussolini was "benign", Berlusconi replied: "Yes". He went on to say: "Mussolini did a lot of good things and never killed anyone, Mussolini sent people on holiday in internal exile".

La Voce di Romagna newspaper said the conversation with Berlusconi had been recorded and carefully transcribed.

this comment follows a long line of controversies sparked by Berlusconi, who is acting president of the European Union until the end of the year.

Earlier this summer he created a diplomatic storm when he compared a German lawmaker in the European parliament to a Nazi concentration camp guard he once knew. Last week he was quoted as saying that Italy's magistrates were "mentally disturbed and should be shot".

He told reporters this week that he has the balls to say what other people are thinking, even if it wasn't politically correct: " I'll continue to be true to myself a fascist, nazi this is why I support the zionazis".

Facing a wall of protest over his remarks, Berlusconi later said that he had acted "as a patriot, as a real Italian (fascist)"

"Berlusconi's comments cause me profound pain," Amos Luzzatto, the President of the union of Italian Jewish communities, said.

Pierluigi Castagnetti, parliamentary party leader of the centre-left Margherita party, said the prime minister's remarks were "incredible and shocking".

Berlusconi was cheered on by the National Alliance, which traces its roots back to Mussolini's Fascist movement.


MILLIONS DEAD

Mussolini ruled Italy with an iron fist from 1922 to 1943, launching bloody colonial wars in Africa before hooking Italy up to the Nazi bandwagon.

One Mussolini biographer, Richard Bosworth, estimates millions of people died as a result of his 20-year rule, with "atrocious massacres of Libyans, Ethiopians, inhabitants of the ex-Yugoslavia and ...tens of thousands of Italian Jews".

Mussolini introduced Italy's first anti-Semitic laws in 1938, opening the way for the eventual deportation of around 70000 Jews to Nazi concentration camps. Some 59100 died.

Who are the 'western' facsists?

26.09.2003 07:54

Berlosconi is clearly one. there is a large support base for the man in Italy that is clearly facsist too. Yes true Italy and much more Italians were at the forefront of facsism alongside most Germans about 50 years ago.
But what about the tens of millions more in the USA and the UK pigs who are the current leading ftorch bearers of western facsism.

The article misses to highlight this fact. Berlosconi while paying tribute to the past does work for the greater western fasist cabal and very actively too.

What Berlosconi said on the opening speech at EU was he 'had a friend making a film on the nazi era and there was a part for a guard and suggested the center left German should consider taking up the role' or something very similar. Now why did the PM of Italy 'make such a mistake'?
A clever businessman making such mistakes?
Don't get me wrong. This is a very well written article but I must point out it is not complete if Berlosconi and his current doings are not given clear focus too.
Now that the Franco German alliance is licking upto the current holder of the current supreme fascist mantle the role assigned to Berlosconi in disrupting the EU seems to have been pushed to a side.
The Italian pigscum PM in recent times did take up the active role of propagating the facsit agenda across the Europe as some of the 'old Europe' was threatening to break away from the pan European plot to destroy humanity.

Another point to note is that when Blair and Aznar attended 'war council' before the illegal and immoral onslaught on the long suffering Iraqis Berlosconi could not attend thanks to the full blooded _genuine_ opposition within Italy, which incidently should be a good model for us in the UK.
There are clear divisive lines between the pigscum and humans it Italy.
This greatly helps towards any global human fightback that may arise from the ashes.
Marsha cleverly presents this fact in parenthesis. Well done.

Now if only we could be as truthful and effective as the Italians and get rid of the fascist brand from the few of us by facing up to truth and reality .............

I'm hiding this article from the front page newswire, as you're using the word "zionazi" for zionist.

Our editorial guidelines prohibit: "posts using language, imagery, or other forms of communication promoting racism, fascism, xenophobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination."
 http://indymedia.org.uk/en/static/editorial.html

It's an interesting piece though, and I'd like to see it reposted, using the word "zionist" for "zionazi". I don't think doing so would lessen the impact and clarity of your article either. Please note that I'm not a zionist myself, but casual use of the word "nazi" for anyone you happen to dislike is a bad idea, as it trivialises nazism. They are brutal, and some of them are war criminals, but they are not nazis.

Citing your sources would also be a good idea. Thanks...
