Mussolini iPhone App is Best-Seller
in Italy
Fascism and Mussolini
would NOT have been possible with out the Early and Disproportionately
HIGH Participation and Leadership of members of the Jewish Community,
This continued for 16 years until the Loyalty Oaths in 1938, when Jews
in Italy, especially in delicate positions in the government were required
to sign Loyalty Oaths to Italy, so that their decisions would not be to
the advantage of Zionists, and to the disadvantage of Italy. Yet most Jews
continued to be loyal to Mussolini, and he protected the Italian Jews,
and Non Italian Refugees despite extreme heavy demands from Hitler.
Either these Jewish Groups protesting
this App do not know the facts, or choose to ignore them in order to further
another Agenda. It is shocking that Jewish groups would be protesting
against Free Speech. What Next Burning Books? Oops they already did that.
Mein Kampf is Banned in Germany as a result of Jewish Demands. Sounds awfully
fascist dictator-esque to me.
Mussolini iPhone App is Best-Seller
in Italy
From London Times Online, Richard
Owen in Rome; January 31, 2010
Jewish groups and Holocaust survivors
have protested to Apple over Italy's current best-selling iPhone application:
a collection of the speeches of Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator.
Demand for "iMussolini", subtitled
"The man who changed the history of our country", has risen to the point
where it is being downloaded 1,000 times a day according to Luigi Marino,
25, its creator.
It is more popular than a video game
based on the film Avatar and an X-ray machine app which "allows you to
see your friends naked".
The app, which costs 79 Euro cents,
contains audio, video and text of 100 speeches dating to 1914. Mr Marino
said today that it had been downloaded 6,000 times since it was launched
earlier this month,....
Mussolini, who came to power in 1922,
introduced [ Pro Italy/Anti Zionist Loyalty] laws in 1938 and allied himself
with Nazi Germany during the Second World War.[After, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden of Britain rejected Mussolini proposal for an alliance !!!!]
Alessandra Mussolini, the dictator's
granddaughter, who is a far-right politician, said: "Whether you like it
or not, my grandfather's speeches are part of history."
Leone Soued, head of the Jewish community
in Milan, said: "One can hope it will not be a success, but I can understand
why the man in the street might download it." Apple was "a serious multinational
which deserves respect for its innovations", he added.
However, Tullia Zevi, former head
of the Jewish community in Rome, said the app was part of the "the slide
towards legitimising fascism and the rehabilitation of Mussolini".
Armando Cossutta, deputy head of
the Italian Association of Partisans, said it was "an unacceptable attempt
to exalt a filthy past".
In the US Elan Steinberg, vice-president
of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants,
said: "It is a disgrace and a surrender to crass commercialism that the
Apple computing company has approved the release of this 'app' through
their online iTunes store."
He added: "We are protesting to them,
as their tight regulation and control of release of such apps makes them
responsible. This is an insult to the memory of all victims of Nazism and
Fascism, Jew and non-Jew, and should be condemned for its offence to decency
and conscience."
Mr Marino, from Naples, said Mussolini's
speeches were freely available in libraries. He said he was not an apologist
for Fascism "and I express total solidarity with its victims". He asked
people who downloaded the app not to post comments in praise of Fascism.
iPhone Italy said the application was "not a political item but one of
history".
Italian historians have published
revisionist views of the Mussolini era in recent years, and a growing nostalgia
for the Fascist period is reflected in sales of calendars, T-shirts, mugs
and other souvenirs bearing Mussolini's name and image, not least in Predappio,
the town in Emilia-Romagna where the dictator is buried.
