Effigies of Trump and Netanyahu burned at pro-Palestinian march in Turin
Participants at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Turin, Italy, burned cardboard effigies of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The act took place at the end of the march.
Before setting the effigies on fire, participants threw rotten tomatoes at them and then kicked and punched them.
A speaker said the two leaders were war criminals and called for them to be tried, while protesters shouted for the effigies to be burned.
The demonstration expressed opposition to Israel’s actions and wider political systems, according to the slogans reported at the event.
The march ended in Piazza Vittorio Veneto.

- What
- Demonstrators burned the effigies after throwing rotten tomatoes at them and kicking and punching them.

- Not stated.

- Why
- The demonstrators said the two were war criminals and criticized the fact that, despite arrest warrants, nobody was putting them on trial.
This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
This square wants Palestine free from Zionism, Italy free from fascism, the world free from capitalism. These are two war criminals and despite the arrest warrants nobody puts them on trial. So we will put them on trial, as nobody has the courage to do
Burn it, burn it
