    "The Fake Controversy Behind Little Italy’s ‘Exclusion’

    The Italian American establishment’s hysterical response to Mayor Mamdani’s map of immigrant enclaves reveals a cynical politics of victimhood.

    In May 1971, dozens of members of the Jewish Defense League filed into a Brooklyn federal courtroom. Their leader, Meir Kahane, had ostensibly founded the group to combat antisemitism, particularly in the Soviet Union, though it soon became a full-blown Zionist extremist outfit, advocating for the mass expulsion of Arabs from Palestine. The league engaged in vigilantism and violence, leading federal prosecutors to indict Kahane and six of his associates for allegedly trafficking weapons and explosives.

    Also into the courtroom walked Joseph Colombo, purported leader of one of the infamous New York City crime families. He brought a crew of his own: members of the Italian American Civil Rights League, which Colombo had founded, supposedly to resist what the group deemed anti-Italian discrimination. (Its most notable advocacy involved scrubbing 'defamatory' terms like 'Mafia' from popular culture.)

    Kahane’s and Colombo’s groups formed what Kahane described as a 'brotherhood' to push back against federal 'harassment.' As Colombo put it: 'We’re defending our people.'
    The strange bedfellows found camaraderie in their mutual adherence to a reactionary worldview then pervasive among white American ethnic groups. The Holocaust was a recent memory at the time, as was Anglo-American racism toward Italian immigrants; historical oppression, the logic went, made these men and their causes all but infallible. Their communities had experienced injustice, and it was further injustice to accuse them of brutality, corruption, prejudice, or crime."

    It's free.

    If you're into free, mutual aid, society, or Italian-Americans, you might enjoy it....

  9. @TheWeeOwl The #ItalianAmericans who hunt these #mushrooms in the #SanFranciscoBayArea usually call them #Porcini. Wikipedia says, “Boletus edulis (English: cep, penny bun, porcino or porcini) is a basidiomycete fungus, and the type species of the genus #Boletus.”
