Italian Catholic and Jewish leaders condemn the placing of a Nazi flag on a coffin at a church funeral.

community expressed outrage that such events could still happen more than seven decades after the end of World War Two and the fall of Italy’s fascist dictatorship.

“It is unacceptable that a flag with a swastika can still be shown in public in this day and age, especially in a city that saw the deportation of its Jews by the Nazis and their fascist collaborators,” the statement said. After a raid on Rome’s Jewish neighborhood on Oct. 16, 1943, more than 1,000 of the capital’s Jews were deported, most to the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. Only 16 returned.

The Jewish community statement on Tuesday said the funeral incident was “even more outrageous because it took place in front of a church.”

Disgusting behaviour and so much disrespect for the church and the Jewish community. This type of thing needs to be banned.

It's a good thing that both of my grandfathers, World War II veterans 🇷🇺, didn't see it. I'm ashamed of all these people. Need to show them the video footage from the concentration camps. 😡

When spray painting 'LOSER' would have been just fine.

Oh man I thought Trump died my mistake

The Catholic Church has a tendency to look the other way a lot. But they’re against abortions! 😂

is that fauci in there? Never again

KaivanShroff WTF

It would only make sense if he was a known Nazi

Did something happy to a former president I’m not aware of? 🤔

Pukes

Wtf?

She won’t be the first or last Nazi who has been farewelled with full christian and nazi honours. Nazis are primarily anti communist, they are the Vaticans doberman. After loyal service it is only right their service is recognised.

Why didn’t someone step in immediately after the flag was placed over the coffin?! That’s what I want to know!

Well, at least we know who's Hell bound.

Sicilian clans wearing their political affiliations on their sleeve, I see...

That is something the Fascist Republicans would do in America. They went to the Capitol wearing the Nazi Emblem.

NBC news has reposted this article 5 times since Wednesday the 12th. What are you trying to accomplish-create hate and divide?

Let them grieve however they want. BLM destroys cities to grieve, let others do whatever they want.

Trump approved…

Who and why would anyone want to have a Nazi flag or be associated with Nazism. I just don’t get it. So many people were killed or inadvertently died because of it, why would you want to stand behind that legacy.

😱😱😱😱😱

Don't pretend what were facing is anything but fascism in a new day and age. Dark times and despicable actions.

That’s one sure way to get in the fast lane to hell!

Nazism, fascism, communism....all coming back with a vengeance...

perhaps they should not let Nazis have church funerals and they won’t be 😯 ?

Some people never learn.

Nice one👌👌👌👌

Both churches should condemn their own child molesting issues

He knows that flag won't help him over on the other side, right?!

the age of absurdity

I feel like the NAZI's forgot what we do to their kind.

They don't have a say...

Disgusting

Oh...and The United States is not a Judiah Christian Nation. The United States was Founded by Protestants, & no Catholics were Protestant. Try taking on someone whose direct ancestor is one of the reasons why we have a 1st Amendment. I'll teach you our past.

The Protestant Reformation Era / King Henry The VIII, Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, William Tyndale, John Rogers, John Calvin, Rev. Edward Wightman, English Minister John Smyth, Roger Williams (University). How about I give you all a damn history lesson?

Yet... The Roman Catholic Church persecuted Protestants during The European Persecutions throughout The Protestant Reformation Era that led to The Mayflower, The Establishment of The United States as well as The 30 Years War.'

Disgusting!

Wtf

Wait, What....WTF

Nazi-ism is coming back strong and this time they don't need to rebrand.

Nothing “neo” about Nazis.

But this is how nasty this world is that's why I didn't let her know I was already a billionaire

And she used to say all the time back then she'll do anything to be rich I asked her you wouldn't hurt my child with no no she keep repeating just to find out she's just like cardi B

When was in college Jessica Alba was one best friends and study partner everyone needs help learning something in school we just use to go and study and Allison was always jealous of her

Amber your dad is not lying your husband and your mom husband was running trains on Allison on her desk when I was there but she's the reason as well as Jessica Alba father that I have a child with Jessica it's all a set up by the mob and government

Italians still have some unresolved issues 😂

Catholics and Nazis, who could have ever seen this coming?

Lying Ted SenTedCruz has stopped by to read 'Green Eggs and Ham from Senate floor' to comfort and cheer up a weary nation... VotingRightsAct EndFilibuster

Let us know who wouldn't?

🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡

Well, I guess so! I condemn it too! Disgusting.

Please add the most Italians condemn too

It's just a flag and apparently one this person wanted to be buried with. Who cares?

A nazi is dead ? Good.

🤦‍♂️
