Torino Jews Demand Teacher be Fired for Teaching Israel
Should be Wiped Off the Map
By R. Hoffner
The Jewish community of Torino, Italy is demanding that a
high school history teacher be fired for teaching students
that Israel has no right to exist and should be wiped off the
map.
The Italian Education Ministry opened an investigation
following a complaint that the teacher told his class he
supports Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls to
destroy Israel. He also recommended that his students read
Mein Kampf, in which Hitler yemach shmo lays
out his racist views.
Tulio Levy, president of the local Jewish community, told
reporters the teacher's conduct reflects the wave of anti-
Israel sentiment that has come to the city.
