RIOT IN ATHENS AS MOB TRIES TO BREAK INTO HOTEL Details of the Incident In a shocking turn of events, chaos erupted in Athens as a mob of rioters attempted to break into a hotel where a group of Israeli tourists were staying. The situation quickly escalated as the mob stormed the hotel, prompting riot police to intervene and deploy tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Location and Participants The incident took place in the heart of Athens, a popular destination for tourists from around the world. The group of Israeli tourists had been enjoying their stay in the city when they suddenly found themselves at the center of a violent confrontation between the rioters and law enforcement.

Response from Authorities The Greek authorities wasted no time in responding to the crisis, with riot police quickly arriving on the scene to confront the mob and restore order. The use of tear gas was a necessary measure to quell the violence and protect the safety of the hotel guests and staff.

Potential Motives While the motives behind the rioters’ actions remain unclear, it is possible that the incident was fueled by political tensions or social unrest in the region. The presence of Israeli tourists may have also played a role in provoking the mob, although this has not been confirmed by officials.

Strange I have not seen this reported in MSM. Just like Dagestan airport.

I’m seeing stuff on X and YouTube about Athens, but no MSM coverage

Video on X has comment

“Unless more reporting confirms this story, this SINGLE SOURCE (so far) is referring to an incident described in a Reuters article as occurring at the Egyptian Embassy after a pro-Palestinian protest. There are no news articles about Israeli’s being chased down etc.”

I would call it probable fake news unless we get more info

"UCLA" detectives will be right over there, in order to round up the "Israeli tourists who may have also played a role in provoking the mob."

According to the Los Angeles Times, which reports this like it was a good thing:

It is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest case in the history of the UCLA Police Department: how to identify dozens of people who attacked a pro-Palestinian camp at the center of [the UCLA] campus last week.

Is that a palistoneian flag being waved, in the street?

Are these "new arrivals" aka illegal invaders, homegrown commies or a combo?

The rapid rise in anti-Semitism that has occurred in the last few months is VERY alarming.

Prayers up for Jewish people everywhere.

Yeppers.

Will it lead to Ezekiel 38?

Then calls for ‘Peace and Security’?

Dunno

Things have changed significantly since October 7, 2023

I was pondering 🤔 how we were so far down the road with Israel and Jerusalem but I had totally missed that it had just been 50 years (plus one day) completed since the October 6, 1973 attack.

I do not think that the issue is anti-semitism.

Instead, the “unrest” is a warming, civil war of

socialists who do not believe in God [communist - Jews]

vs

socialists that do believe in God [progressive - Jews].

Both socialist groups in sympathetic cooperation with HAMAS [muslim socialists].

All three factions united as is typical for socialist unions, seeking power by strength of numbers, wherein the leaders are drunk on, and addicted to, pride.

Pride is a glue that keeps sin stuck on, and in, a person.

The dominant socialist faction(s) usually erase the weaker socialist faction(s) upon seizing police power.

Given the limited government construction of the U.S.A., that gets in the way of socialism’s thirst for power, the U.S.A. is the target of socialist enmity: “Death to America!”

That, is the motto on the calling cards of the Democrat Party muscle - the soldiers and rent-a-mob organizations that the party spokesmen, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, etc., define as “mostly peaceful.”

Five or so years ago, I saw a YouTube video featuring smiling, young Israeli volunteers, helping Syrian migrants come ashore in Greece. A young Israeli woman talked about how helping the poor and displaced was a Jewish value.

I remember thinking, Syria is next door to Israel. Why doesn't she stay in Israel and help these poor Syrians enter Israel through the Golan Heights?

I found a video about the same topic. I don't know if it's the one I saw years ago.

Israelis Lend a Helping Hand to Syrian Refugees in Greece.

Happened last year:

A mob of hundreds of people shouting anti-Jewish epithets stormed and shut down the airport in the Russian city of Makhachkala in the predominantly Muslim region of Daghestan after a flight arrived from Israel on October 29, 2023.

It is both very perplexing and very disturbing to see the level of hostile civil disobedience and even political violence committed by activists who are acting as agents supporting a premier terrorist organization

Hamas is an openly evil criminal conspiracy that and oppresses and commits unprovoked atrocities against not just Innocent Israelis, but against the entire population of Gaza that is professes to be trying to "liberate"

From Hamas's perspective, in order for the Gaza to be "liberated", it must first be destroyed.

What kind of person in their right mind could possibly support Hamas when that support tacitly endorses the atrocities of Oct 7 and the war crimes of taking hostages and then inhumanely abusing them and using them to further Hamas nihilistic agenda

Hamas's conduct in the war has been horrible. They are fighting a terror war against non military targets with rudimentary unguided rockets that have only one use - to terrorize and kill innocent civilians (who are often citizens of Gaza because of failures ) in a random fashion.

Hama's their conduct their affairs with deceit, treachery and organized crime as their standard operating procedures.

Hamas has killed more Gazans that they have Israelis and it is very likely that they are responsible, directly and indirectly, for more deaths of Gaza non combatants than the iDF. And they use the Hamas engineered death and suffering of the Gaza's population as propaganda weapon to fuel their war.

And yet they seem to have passionate and fanatical support world side.

I don’t think it’s a rapid rise of antisemitism, the antisemitism has always been there it just needed a spark to make it public and the spark is obviously the war in Gaza

It’s amazing to me how widespread spread the antisemitism is all around the world, how a small minority of people can generate that amount of hate is remarkable

If Turkey attacked Israel from the rear, would Greece help?

My wife and I were looking for vacations. Greece was on the list. Then I thought about it some more and decided that instead we will look at Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. The rest of Europe is rotting like spoiled fish.

Asia is out. Too far, even for first class. For some reason, the last place on earth I would want to visit which is Columbia seems to be the best choice along with Costa Rica.

Are there any other countries which are relatively calm that isn’t an Island?

Hamas support for Oct 7 has not been tacit.
From the immediate aftermath to today, their leaders call for more similar or greater attacks. The US mobs also add “ see you in America”

This is not about Israel. Israel is a speedbump between islamic totalitarian social control and enlightened (western) civilization.

Well, I think a bunch of idiots are jumping on board lately; i.e. the college idiots that found a new “cause”
