ROME (JTA) -- A Rome court has sentenced a man to six months in jail for having posted a list of 162 academics on his blog and describing them as members of an alleged "Jewish lobby."
In a verdict handed down Thursday, Paolo Munzi, 42, was convicted of defamation. But he was acquitted of having violated privacy laws and a law against instigating racial hatred.
In February 2008 Munzi posted a list of 162 people, most of them university professors, and described them in negative terms as members of a Jewish lobby supporting Israel. Some of the professors on the list were not Jewish but had signed pro-Israel petitions. The blog had links to far-right and anti-Israel Web sites, calls to boycott Israel, and Holocaust deniers.

They had defiled their own family name.
It's right to expose enemies of the state and treasonous acts.
Looks like they will find it harder to infiltrate.
