Italian Prime Minister Denounces "Stupid" Boycotts of Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi hailed ties between his country and Israel and railed against "stupid" boycotts in a speech to the Knesset Wednesday. He noted that the Jewish people's right to a state in its homeland "does not exist because of the world's generosity after the Holocaust. Israel existed hundreds of years before....You are a fulcrum of the world and we will stand with you." "Whoever thinks to boycott Israel does not understand that he is harming himself and betraying his future. Italy will always stand for cooperation and never for boycotts, which are stupid and futile."
