Liliana Segre sues 24 people for hate messages and defamation, including chef Rubio

There is also chef Rubio among the twenty-four people denounced by life senator Liliana Segre for messages of “defamatory hatred, often of an anti-Semitic nature and containing death wishes”. The senator, a survivor of the tragedy of the Holocaust, which she witnessed for the new generations, was often the object of senseless attacks on her person, in many cases with violent words, as she herself told the first National Forum of Jewish Women d’Italia organized by the Adei-Wizo association at Palazzo Marino in Milan.

«Life has taught me to be free and fearless although I am the oldest person in Europe obliged to escort for all the insults and insults and death threats that are made to me also because I am vaccinated, and I am not a no vax “, the senator said on that occasion. “For a long time I was silent about these people who insult me, but now I denounce, since it is also in bad taste to wish me dead at 92”.

The promise was followed by facts: yesterday the Carabinieri barracks in Milan received twenty-four different complaints about the threats suffered online by Segre. Between these, there is also one addressed to Gabriele Rubini, aka chef Rubioa cook and activist who often in the past made over-the-top statements, especially in defense of Palestine and against Israel.

Then you had involved Senator Segre speaking of a “shameful” her “systematic silence” towards the “ethnic cleansing” carried out by Israel against the Palestinians.

Rubio’s reaction to the news of the complaint was not long in coming: «Asking #LilianaSegre to denounce the crimes of the Israeli settlement colony and the Nazi army which for 74 years has been carrying out the ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinian people (Semites) would it be inciting hatred? Partial silences are hate, not those who resist», wrote the chef in an initial comment on Twitter, followed by further statements.
