President Mario Carboni was wished to "die in the ovens". The complaint is from the Chenàbura-Sardos pro Israel association, which speaks of "yet another act of intimidation perpetrated against him, this time through an email containing threats of retaliation and death".
Last week, the door of the association's headquarters in Castello was defaced with anti-Zionist graffiti . Now, "beyond the language that unfortunately too closely resembles a past historical period, so tragic when, we thought - wrongly - universally condemned, it is the intimidating and anti-Semitic climate in general that frightens and reveals a violent intolerance of parts of society towards those who think differently," we read in a note.
The Chenàbura Sardos pro Israel association "deals with Judaism and the rediscovery of Jewish roots in Sardinian tradition. It is also a point of reference for Sardinian Jews and for those who are interested in Judeo-Christian culture. The members, as in all associations, have different ideas from each other: what unites them is the desire to study a thousand-year-old culture to which all of us Europeans owe a tribute".
According to Carboni, "thinking of transporting the tragic conflict in progress in the Middle East that is bringing so much suffering to the two Jewish and Arab-Palestinian peoples to Sardinia by attacking a cultural association with continuous threats and intimidation takes on a form of profound "fascism", an indiscriminate hunt for anyone who can even minimally be assimilated to a thought and an ideology contrary to one's own in order to attack and silence them. This is not worthy of a democracy and a multicultural city like Cagliari".
The case has already come to the attention of the police, with a complaint filed at the Police Headquarters. "But we are not intimidated," Carboni emphasizes.
