A sharp protest was lodged here today-by the Union of Italian Jewish Communities against the publication of a series of anti-Semitic articles in the bi-monthly magazine, Noncreteness. The protest, requesting that the anti-Semitic series be halted, and that the magazine print corrections of the “many falsities” in the series, was addressed to Defense Minister Giulio Andreotti, who is editor of Noncreteness.
The second article in the series was published in the latest issue of the magazine, issued today. The articles revive the anti-Jewish “Protocols of Zion,” accuse Jews of preferring “parasitic professions,” and charge Jews with being “obstinately against assimilation” with their fellow Italians.
Mr. Andreotti is one of the acknowledged leaders of the dominant Christian Democratic party in Italy. However, he represents the right-wing of the party. He is an outspoken supporter of a neo-fascist organization which includes outright anti-Semites.
