(June 11, 2025 / JNS) A mob of pro-Palestinian protesters recently assaulted an Israeli tourist in Athens in broad daylight, with the incident captured on video by the victim, Channel 12 reported on Wednesday.

“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 told “Morning News” host Niv Raskin.

The video of Monday’s incident in the Greek capital shows a man with what appears to be a British or Irish accent aggressively chasing the Israeli and swinging an object at him that appears to be a flag or banner with a pole. The victim asked, “Are you going to touch me?” The man responded with expletives, shouting that he would and ordering the victim to leave. The victim said, “He’s touching me, he’s touching me.” The man continued using profanities, telling him, “Zionist, you are not welcome here.”
