| A small selection of desperate attention seekers and other p3rverts for a pair of small protests that the authorities allowed themselves to be intimidated by. |
Strikes and protests in Italia on Friday against the government’s support for Israel and increased military spending caused the cancellation of dozens of flights and disrupted train services around the country.
Hundreds of protesters marched in Turin,
| Hundreds? Golly — that kind of protest can be broken with a single police charge, should they bestir themselves to do so… |
| No number given, so possibly the number is in dozens, instead. |

The one-day action was called by the hardline USB union along with smaller worker organizations.
Recent years have seen the emergence of the USB as an aggressive grass-roots union which is challenging the traditional dominance of the three main confederations, the left-wing CGIL and the centrist CISL and UIL.
In a video published earlier this month, Albanese, who has a history of antisemitic and anti-Israel comments, declared that the "genocide" in Gaza is ongoing and urged Italians to take part in the strike.
Due to the strikes, Milan’s Malpensa canceled at least 27 flights, while Bologna scrapped at least 17. Other affected airports include Milan’s Linate, Naples and Venice. Italia’s flagship carrier ITA Airways said it had canceled 26 domestic flights due to the strikes.
Train cancellations were announced in the main stations of Rome, Turin, Milan and Genoa and protests prevented trains from stopping at the smaller Milan station of Lambrate.
Urban public transport services were disrupted in Rome and several other cities.
In Venice, activists blocked access to the offices of Italian defense group Leonardo before they were dispersed by police via water cannon.
The USB has organized another national day of protest on Saturday against what it calls Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s "war budget," saying the 2026 financial bill favors military spending over much-needed investment in health, education and welfare.
Meloni, in power since 2022, has called the budget "serious, balanced and responsible," pointing to its income tax cuts for middle-earners, which she says can help Italia’s sluggish economy.
The more mainstream CGIL, Italia’s largest union, has announced a nationwide strike of its own members over the budget on December 12.

| Those who hate Israel eagerly point to Neturei Karta as proof that “real Jews” hate Israel with them, ignoring the fact that the few thousand NKs are seriously out of alignment with the 15 million of the Jewish mostly-Zionist mainstream. And even those ultra-Orthodox who are anti-Zionist think NK parading itself in support of the Mad Mullahs, neo-Nazis, and pro-Hamas protests is seriously nuts. |
