Italians set fire to beds in angry anti-immigrant protests [Genesis 11]

Residents in a chic Rome suburb and a northern Italian village staged angry anti-immigrant protests on Friday, with villagers setting mattresses ablaze in a bid to stop authorities from housing migrants. Authorities in the village of Quito plan to accommodate 101 immigrants in empty apartments, but several residents broke into one of the buildings, removed camp beds, mattresses and televisions intended for the newcomers and set them on fire outside.

The protesters then put up tents, with the Corriere della Sera newspaper quoting them as saying: “We aren’t going home until they leave — this is an invasion.” Italy is currently hosting more than 80,000 migrants who have crossed the Mediterranean fleeing war, persecution or poverty in the Middle East and Africa. The arrivals include many Africans, particularly Eritreans, as well as Syrians.

Luca Zaia, the president of Italy’s northern Veneto region and a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League party, told Italian television he agreed with the protesters, and complained about the “Africanisation” of his own region...

LEBANON: D'ALEMA, ITALY HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN 5+1 ON I
(AGI) - Berlin, Aug. 26 - After having a protagonist role for peace in Lebanon Italy asks to take part in the 5+ 1 group that negotiates with Iran on nuclear. Foreign minister, Massimo D'Alema in an interview to "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" asks a place near to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. "We are Iran's most important commercial partners with Germany and we are pledged in Lebanon with Hezbollah. So we have the right to be included in the negotiation with Iran. The goal is not a new conflict but talks aimed at preventing Iran from having an atomic bomb, he said. Italy searched for a greater G8 involvement in the negotiation with Iran but it remained excluded from the 5 plus 1, the group that started a negotiation with Tehran offering incentives in exchange for the suspension of the uranium enrichment program. This exclusion was due to the fact that Rome was not part of the European trio (France, Germany and UK) that had tried the first mediation with Tehran and represented the EU in the 5 plus 1. D'Alema remembered that the United Nations and the EU had not a role in the Iraqi crisis, and warned that the new opportunity in Lebanon could not be missed now. "It is a very difficult mission full of unknown points but it is worth pledging or the only alternative would be a new burst of war" he said. The foreign minister, was sceptical on the possibility of a new UN resolution for the mission in Lebanon asked by the US. "I'm sceptical about it, because in these situations they always open long negotiations. The strategic plan is clear and the resolution was completed defining the rules of engagement. If they will make a new resolution soon I agree with them but the most important thing is getting there as soon as possible (In Lebanon)" he said.

Isn’t it funny how South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, China, Indonesia and other large nations are NEVER, EVER shamed into bringing in these Muslim “refugees.” ONLY White Europe, Australia and America are EVER guilted into it. Why is that?

Not true. South Africa is having big problems with refugees trying to enter from other African countries, there have been full-scale riots there because of it.

There was a popular Italian publication also published in Arabic over ten years ago. It expressed Italian solidarity with Arabs.

It’s a war on white people pure and simple.

That plain SUCKS. Like most Americans, I absolutely LOVE that country - to see it turn into that is just plain SICKENING.

Either the Italians STEP UP to the challenge, or it’s simply OVER for them.

This is absolutely deliberate. Notice no Christians are coming from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Only Muslims who cannot assimilate.


Yes it is. It is being done to “fundamentally transform America.”

Are the GOPe standing up and fighting for us? Absolutely not.

Muslims are destroying Europe. It is being allowed by a bunch of fools with their political correctness and ignorance. They’re going to do the same thing here if people don’t wake up.
