Holocaust survivor and Life Senator
Liliana Segre has cited 24 people including an Italian celebrity
chef for making the latest in a string of anti-Semitic attacks
on her on social media.
Segre, 92, said former semi-professional rugby player and DMAX
TV channel chef Gabriele Rubini aka chef Rubio had slammed her
for not defending the Palestinians in her recent remarks on
Israel, which he called a "fascist" state.
Rubio, 39, accused Segre of "a deafening silence over the plight
of Palestine".
Israel Honorary Consul Marco Carrai said Friday it was
"disappointing that so many young people follow a figure who
incites social hate like this chef," and added that unlike
Rubio's many tattoos, the one on Segre's arm had been inscribed
when she reached Auschwitz as a girl.
