Outrage in Italy as Police Beat Pro-Palestinian Schoolchildren

In Italy, footage of police beating pro-Palestinian students during demonstrations in Florence and Pisa has sparked widespread condemnation, with politicians and social media users expressing outrage. The videos showed officers using truncheons on school-age protesters, leading to calls for the interior minister to address parliament over the incident. The government has not yet commented on the police conduct, while a police trade union leader suggested that student protests may be infiltrated by "expert instigators." Teachers at a high school near the protest expressed shock at the treatment of the students, most of whom were minors, and demanded accountability for the "shameful day."
