IDK what they would do in that regard (if we are talking Meloni's government, nothing), but it would be sensible to stop pro-Israel protests that were likely to become pro-genocide ones.
Anyway, we are talking about this specific day and this specific protest; drawing arbitrary generalizations (that also happen to be very convenient for your cause) is a sophism that does not help discussion to progress. Let's strive to be better than the right-wing idiots.
edit: by "right-wing idiots" I mean "right-wing people who also happen to be idiots", I'm not implying here and not that all right-wing people be idiots.
I detest the current Italian government and their attitude towards propal protesters (and dissenters in general), but October 7th is the one day when manifesting for Palestine should be put on hold.
We seem to sacrifice all the principles that brought us where we are in exchange for a vague sense of security from made-up dangers, and cower in fear of the future. It was better when we had a spine and looked forwards with confidence.
Non sono sicuro di seguirti, ma... quelli (pochi) che han manifestato violentemente sono degli imbecilli, non c'è tanto da discutere in proposito.
Gli altri (tantissimi) che han manifestato pacificamente ovviamente non lo sono, e anzi stanno (in qualche modo, parzialmente) riscattando il nostro paese governato da complici del genocidio di Gaza (e amici anche di altri criminali contro l'umanità e di vari aspiranti autocrati).
C'è da capirli. Coi disordini dei giorni scorsi qualcuno poteva iniziare ad associare la parola "imbecilli" alla sinistra; questi neofasci avran pensato di dover rivendicare il proprio primato.

I'm not thinking of oldschool colonialism or anything like that, I'm just wondering if giving them (by force) a constitution and keeping them under control (by force) while they adapt would work (think, post-WWII West Germany or Japan).
Please note I am not saying that this would really solve the problems between Israel and Palestine or that it is in any way feasible... in fact, I didn't even want to write down this thought, which is why I stopped at "they don't deserve" without going further on (which in hindsight was probably not the smartest choice).
I think you don't get what "arrogance" means (not a fault: English is not my first language either and it just happens that the English concept of "arrogance" exists with the same nuances in my language - I guess it's not the same for yours).
In layman's terms, arrogance is when one dismisses another's opinion not for its (de)merits, but because they believe their own is a priori the right one.
Ironically, that describes more closely your "the amount of arrogance dripping off of this comment omg" than me expressing a position 1) without refusing another's, 2) explaining the reasoning behind it, and 3) explicitly stating that it is my opinion ("I think") and not factual reality.
You’re assuming you get to say who deserves self governance.
I am in fact allowed to say who I think (you conveniently omitted this) deserves to self-govern... What do you mean I don't get to say that? Why? Do you get to say what I can say and what I can't?
Regardless, I'll try to explain my reasoning further... hopefully this will bring this discussion back into productive lands.
It is normal that people can be stripped of their rights if they can't use them responsibly (where I live this only applies to most rights, but in those backwards countries that still have the death penalty even the very right to be alive can be retracted).
Drive carelessly and your license gets taken away, show you are unstable and your gun+carry permit get taken away, kill and your freedom gets taken away, etc.
Specifically, for serious crimes (IIRC where I live it's those with 5+ years of detention, but IANAL) people have their very right to vote taken away.
Now, self determination is not more fundamental a right than voting (in fact, in a democracy it's the same thing, only for the populace at large instead of individuals)... why should that be inviolable?
Personally, I do blame both the Palestinian and Israeli people (not only their governments) for what is happening now, and for what has been happening for decades beforehand (of course this doesn't mean that each and every Palestinian person is to blame, and the same is true on the Israeli side).
I even dare saying that I think neither people deserve to self-govern, since they have shown to be unable to do it responsibly.
I don't really see the point in ranking who is worse (I mean... what do you/mankind get once such a ranking is established?), but for the sake of argument: what criterion are you going by?
Look, in all honesty... both Palestinians and Israeli have failed at democracy: one side put Hamas into power (well, in Gaza) and the other side gave power to Netanyahu...
I couldn't say which is worse between the two governments, nor I think debating it will get us anywhere; what I can say (with absolute certainty and no fear of being disproved) is that neither one reach the minimum level of decency human beings should expect from any government.
Let's stop debating who is more wrong between Israel and Hamas: they are both unimaginably wrong.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that he will raise annexing the West Bank at the next cabinet meeting in response to the the recognitions.
“The recognition by the UK, Canada, and Australia of a ‘Palestinian’ state, as a prize for the murderous Nukhba terrorists, requires immediate countermeasures,” said Ben-Gvir.
The answer lies in the so-called “de minimis” loophole. Under this rule, any parcel worth less than €150 bypasses both customs inspections and tax payments.
It is worth mentioning that, even if that wasn't the case, the article still makes little sense (and one must wonder whether the author/publisher have some hidden agenda).
First of all: if the problem is safety ("think of the children!"), it should be addressed by more inspections/controls and possibly harsher punishments, not more import duties.
Secondly: even with Trump-style 100% tariffs, a 5€ t-shirt from China will cost 10€, which is still way less that what "traditional" stores charge for a t-shirt (the same one, possibly with more prestigious branding and/or "real" branding as opposed to "fake" one).
Does the parliament decide who's a terrorist and who's not? I mean... shouldn't it be up to the judges and based on factual evidence? (asking because sincerely curious)
I mean... TBH even if they were "intelligence" in the same way us humans are, one should expect them to discriminate against pretty much everyone.
