A swastika and the insult “Jews” were carved onto an apartment door in Milan’s Forze Armate district, near the city’s Jewish quarter. The vandalism was discovered by the resident family, who filed a formal complaint at the local police station. The Digos counter-terrorism unit has opened an investigation into the incident.
Davide Romano, director of the Jewish Brigade Museum, connected the act to a recent assault at Lainate service station, stating: “We’ve escalated from public aggression to private-space threats targeting the daily tranquility of Italian Jewish citizens.” He further warned of growing desensitization to antisemitism, declaring: “Racism, antisemitism, and homophobic or transphobic bigotry are never justifiable.”
