A group of Israeli teenagers was attacked early on Wednesday on the Greek island of Rhodes by dozens of pro-Palestinian assailants, some reportedly armed with knives. The incident occurred shortly after Israeli cruise ship passengers were barred on Tuesday afternoon from disembarking on another Greek island—Syros—because of pro-Palestinian protests at Ermoupoli Port, where demonstrators accused the Jewish state of “genocide” in its war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip… “In the last two months alone, a Holocaust memorial in Larissa was defaced, Jewish cemeteries in Volos and Thessaloniki were desecrated, and earlier this month, men in black shirts bearing Palestinian flags were seen patrolling tourist areas in Athens like Monastiraki and the Plaka, threatening Israeli and Jewish visitors,” he said.

ALGEMEINER French Jewish Students Forcibly Removed From Spanish Plane After Singing in Hebrew, Camp Director Arrested A group of 50 French Jewish students was forcibly removed from a plane in Valencia, Spain on Wednesday evening — reportedly for singing in Hebrew — in an incident that led to the arrest of their summer camp director. The children, aged 10 to 15, are members of the Kineret Club — a summer camp for Jewish families run by the Matana charitable association — which had just concluded their trip in the coastal resort town of Sant Carles de la Ràpita, between Valencia and Barcelona. According to local reports, the children were singing in Hebrew while boarding the plane to return home, which prompted a hostile response from the crew. As the incident quickly escalated, the camp director was arrested after refusing to hand over the children’s cell phones when requested by staff. VIEW VIDEO OF CAMP DIRECTOR BEING MANHANDLED BY SECURITY
