“This beach isn’t for Israelis” Five Israelis were relaxing near Lake Vouliagmeni outside Athens when a group of 15 people in their 20s began glaring at them. One girl shouted “Free Palestine,” then a man approached aggressively: “Where are you from?” When they said they were Israeli, he shouted they had to leave, saying “this beach isn’t for Israelis.” He repeated: “You Israelis have money, go to a beach with a fee.” When asked what his problem was, he said: “You’re baby murderers. You're committing genocide while children die in Gaza.” He ended with a threat: “If you don’t leave, something will happen to you.” The attackers were arrested. Trial is expected Tuesday. This is the reality of being Israeli — or visibly Jewish — in Europe today.
