Pushback: Jewish LGBTQ group reaches deal to march in Rome Pride after float banned over Gaza
|

Ghettos were originally built by the Jewish residents to lock out attacking hordes. It was only later that the government took charge of locking in the Jews to control them. [IsraelTimes] Keshet Italia hails ‘victory for Pride’ after compromise mediated by mayor lets group march on foot with extra security and gives it a spot on next year’s coordinating committee
Jewish LGBTQ group Keshet Italia, whose float was barred from Saturday’s Rome Pride parade over the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, announced Friday that it reached an agreement with organizers to participate "with its own delegation and symbols," and to join the coordinating committee for next year’s march.
"We consider this agreement a victory for Pride and for the values it represents," said Keshet, Italia’s only Jewish LGBTQ group, in an Italian-language blurb.
The group thanked Rome Mayor Robert Gualtieri for his help in mediating the agreement, and the Rome Pride coordinating committee for its "willingness to engage in dialogue."
Keshet was not expected to contribute to the more than 30 floats in Saturday’s parade, but would instead "march on foot in a special section we’re organizing with other groups to ensure everyone’s safety," Rome Pride front man Mario Colamarino told Italian news agency ANSA.
A ghetto, in fact. But at least they get to be there. Keshet spokespeople who announced the agreement at a meeting in Rome also stressed the group would march under special protection, ANSA said. The group and other Jewish participants in Italian Pride events have previously reported coming under verbal and physical assault.
The "well-attended" Friday meeting drew politicians and activists who supported a missive signed this week by 2,000 cultural figures urging Gualtieri to ensure Keshet Italia’s participation in Rome Pride, the group said.
That’s a big deal. Organizers of the parade said last month that they had barred Keshet Italia from operating a float over the Jewish group’s failure to "distance itself" from the "ongoing genocide in Gaza."
Groups that want to be formally recognized in the parade with a float must sign onto Rome Pride’s political platform, which includes a condemnation of the "genocide in Gaza" — a charge Israel vigorously rejects.
 In an apparent attempt to reconcile with the demand, Keshet Italia issued a statement earlier in May that lamented the suffering of Paleostinians, but expressed discomfort at applying the genocide label to the devastating war Israel has waged in Gaza since the Hamas

onslaught of October 7, 2023.
Hamas claims population growth from 1.1 million to 2.2 million since they took over running Gaza, and 78,000 military plus civilian deaths — including both war deaths and natural ones that would have happened anyway — the only genocide that resulted in a population increase. Antisemitic incidents have soared worldwide amid the war in Gaza. In Italia, the Center for Contemporary Jewish Documentation reported a record 963 incidents in 2025, including physical assaults and synsagogue desecration.
