Jew-hatred in Rome....

Ant-semitic chants and swastika banners marred a recent soccer match in Rome.

"This is not just anti-Semitism," said Riccardo Pacifici, the spokesman of the Rome Jewish community, referring to the banners with huge swastikas and the words, "Rome is Fascist" that appeared during clashes with police at Sunday's soccer match here.

"This is pure violence and racism by people who probably don't even know any Jews," Pacifici said.

Eighty-five policemen were injured, and there were 17 arrests and 259 subpoenas.

Lazio received a 25,000 fine and an official warning on Tuesday.

Lazio fans identify with the Right and consider the Livorno team leftists. Along with chanting "Jews! Jews!" as an insult against the Livorno players, they also screamed "Fedayin!" – referring to the presumed pro-Palestinian sympathies of the "leftists" from Livorno.
