Wall Street Journal and Berlusconi

In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal Mr. Berlusconi was said to have

mentioned Mussolini in somewhat positive terms. The headlines are deceiving.

MR. BERLUSCONI MADE THE ALLEGED COMMENT DURING THE OFFICIAL
HOLOCAUST CERIMONY in Rome, with the highest JEWISH authorities present.

He actually said that during Mussolini EARLY Government there were more

cabinet post given to jewish italians than ever before or after.

The jewish community was very influential in italian politics in the early 1930’s,

BUT that changed when Italy went too close to nazi Germany.

Mr. Berlusconi added, that today Italy should NOT follow Germany’s lead of ARMING IRAN

and favoring arabs, but continue to be closed to ISRAEL, as it is in God’s Will.

Wish the media was NOT so biased and superficial.
