“Given the rampant rise in antisemitism across Europe, it is heartening to see how Greek textbooks present Judaism, Jewish traditions and the tragedy of the Holocaust with depth, thought and respect," said IMPACT-se CEO, Marcus Sheff.

"The streets of Athens and other cities are filled with slogans calling for the destruction of the state of Israel, for the mass murder of Israeli citizens and Jews who defend the Zionist idea, namely Israel's right to exist as an equal member of the community of nations" said their statement.

Local police were contacted, and a friend who had stayed at their rental apartment arranged a taxi to collect those in hiding. Police later escorted the teens back to the apartment.

The masked attackers threw fliers at diners and staff and graffitied anti-Israel slogans on walls and counters, including “No Zionist is safe here,” “Smash Zionism, fascism, colonialism,” and “Israel Death Forces — rapists, torturers, murderers.”

"It is imperative that a clear message of zero tolerance be sent against the rising tide of Judeophobia in our country, which unquestionably leads to antisemitism" said the Greek Jewish community official representative organisation in a statement.

“I went out toward the gym with my phone in hand. The phone was giving directions in Hebrew, and as I was walking, four guys heard the Hebrew and asked if I was Israeli. I said yes and kept walking, but they started cursing at me and chasing me,” he said.
