Pisa Professor Beaten by Pro-Palestine Activists in Lecture Hall
17th September 2025
A group of around 20 pro-Palestine activist students interrupted a lecture at the University of Pisa’s politics department on Tuesday and reportedly physically assaulted the professor because he would not take their side on the Israel-Hamas war.
The group said in a statement on social media that “we occupied the lecture of a Zionist professor,” adding:
There is no room for Zionists and warmongers in our university!
But the professor, Rino Casella, responded that “they accuse me of being a Zionist just because I’ve always said I’m not pro-Palestinian.” Casella says he and one of his students were “kicked and punched” by the activists and that he ended up in the university’s emergency room as a result of the attack.
Neither Muslims nor Leftists have ever hesitated to use violence against people they dislike. Perhaps that’s why the get along so well together.
