January 16, 2020 "Anti-Semitism must be treated and prevented with education but also with the law", therefore after the "outlawing of the anti-Israel movement in Austria we will also do it". The leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, said it during a conference on 'The new forms of anti-Semitism', adding that it was also inspired by the policies recently implemented by US President Trump.

"We organized this conference because we want our children not to know the horrors and mistakes of the past - he explained -. We do not want anything or anyone to be canceled. Whoever wants to cancel Israel always has an opponent in us".

"Dangerous outbreaks are reignited in our home, in schools and academies - he observes - How to fight this disease? With the concreteness that distinguishes us". Therefore, we are calling for "to speed up the approval of the document in Parliament on how anti-Semitism is identified today". All this - he concludes - does not preclude free criticism of Israel's policies, but opposing the existence of the Jewish state is anti-Semitism "and so is" denying the Jewish people's right to self-determination ".

Casellati: strong societies repudiate intolerance and racism
"The aversion against Jews has returned to being a very topical issue, the anti-Semitic regurgitation is an expression of a more general feeling of aversion towards diversity". The president of the Senate, Elisabetta Casellati, says it at the conference 'The new forms of anti-Semitism' at Palazzo Giustiniani, organized by the League. "History has given us an important message: a society with a strong identity, a society that respects the dignity and freedom of every human being is by its nature a society that repudiates intolerance and racism, whatever its form, whatever its nature. Defending this society is a matter of civilization. "
