Italy's government has shut down an online effort that asked the public to report the locations of Israeli tourists, Italian Jews and businesses linked to Zionism, amid concerns over potential anti-Semitic activity following a recent flotilla protest in Gaza. The shutdown comes after an anonymous online campaign went viral, prompting authorities to investigate and take action against those behind it. The effort was reportedly linked to the Gaza flotilla movement, which has been criticized for its alleged ties to Hamas and anti-Israel sentiment. Authorities have vowed to monitor online activity more closely to prevent similar incidents in the future.
