A Jewish member of Italy’s pro-Israel Radical Party was roughed up by group of extreme-left militants. Yasha Reibman, who was carrying an Israeli flag during a gay pride march in Milan over the weekend, was kicked and punched during the march. He said he carried the flag to show that in Israel, contrary to the situation in Arab states, there is “free expression of sexuality.”
