Leading Italian intellectual: "Shoot those bastard Zionists" (Says Israel worse than Nazis)

Former Italian member of the European Parliament, and leading "intellectual", Gianni Vattimo has caused an explosion of anger in Italy, Israel and beyond for inciting the killing of Israelis and saying Israel was "worse than the Nazis". "Shoot those bastard Zionists," he screamed.

Speaking on Italy’s Radio 24, Vattimo said he would like to kill Israelis personally, but couldn't because he didn't know how to shoot. He said that Europeans should club together to get more arms to Hamas so that they could kill more of their opponents.

Hamas is a violent anti-Semitic terror group advocating the end of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people.

Vattimo said he would like to kill Israelis personally, but couldn't because he didn't know how to shoot.

So what exactly does an "intellectual" know?

[Fenhalls555]

In this particular case, not nearly enough.

[massgopguy]

Don’t Vattimo. Shin Bet knows how to shoot.

Vattimo said he would like to kill Israelis personally, but couldn't because he didn't know how to shoot.

Doesn't know how to shoot but threatens the lives of Israelis who do know how to shoot. I don't think this qualifies as intellectual.

Thanks for pointing out the age of the article. It begs the question, what makes one a ‘leading intellectual’? Clearly it doesn’t require insight, humility, thoughtfulness, or being correct. From what I’ve seen, being an intellectual and an idiot are by no means mutually exclusive.

From the nation that invented fascism and invaded Ethiopia, Albania, Greece, Yugoslavia, and France, without any justification.

Typical intellectual blowhard.

This is about the 5th article posted on FR this morning about how bad them Jews are according to “intellectuals” or imams.

I don’t even see the point in posting these screeds anymore. We know the world hates Israel and Jews. We were warned about these days long ago.

Perhaps Vattimo might want to travel down to Israel and make that statement in front of the Knesset. Put some balls behind the calls.

He is a lefty:
member of:
Partito dei comunisti italiani, Partito Radicale, Democratici di sinistra... .

[Calamari]

Leading Italian intellectual. Oxymoron.

[ontap]

He’ll make a pretty good democrat when he learns to hide his true feelings!!!

ROFL!

Vattimo needs the same treatment the Mossad gave the 1972 Olympic terrorists:

Eleven rounds from a Beretta semiautomatic .22 pistol.

Funny or what. Wonder if his pop or grandpop served with the fascists.

2. Meaning of the term "Nazi";
3. How to shoot;
4. How to shut up;
5. How to suck eggs;
6. The meaning of the Yiddish proverb א חכם ווייסט יעדער זאך וואס ער זוגט און זוגט נישט יעדער זאך וואס ער ווייסט. אבער א נער זאגט יעדער זאך וואס ער ווייסט און ווייסט נישט יעדער זאך וואס ער ווייסט*;
7. What "intellectual" means;
8. That rash words can have far reaching consequences;
9. That he will never get to live down his stupid comments;
10. That they will be all that he is ever remembered for.

Top ten things that Vattimo does know:

1. That no missiles will be hitting his house any time soon;
2. That he has a sinecure job that he is in no danger of losing;
3. That his students had better agree with him about everything if they expect a passing grade;
4. Whether or not he was paid by Hamas or a Hamas supporter to advocate murder of Jews;
5. Italian;
6. How to wipe his own ass;
7. That he will make noises about his right to free speech if the heat gets too much for him;
8. That's it. He doesn't know much.

Sorry. That should have been:

There. Fixed it for my lantzmen.
