(Jewish Group) Jews chased through Barcelona after antisemitic street attack
The Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain said Monday it is considering legal action after what it described as “one of the most serious cases of antisemitic harassment recorded in Barcelona in recent years.”
Two members of the group, who were identifiable as Jewish because they were wearing kippahs, one of them in Hasidic dress, became the target of hostile looks, insults and a chase that lasted nearly an hour and a half as they made their way to their hotel, according to their testimony.
Witnesses said a woman wearing shorts, a sports bra and a Palestinian keffiyeh, with tattoos covering her body, chased members of the group while shouting antisemitic slurs at them and repeatedly spitting at them. Later, according to the accounts, dozens of other people joined the pursuit, some of them on bicycles, scooters and motorcycles. They shouted slogans including “Jews are not welcome in Barcelona,” “baby killers” and “Israeli genocide,” and blocked the men from moving freely.
The complainants said they feared for more than half an hour that they would be physically attacked, until they reached the Hotel Arts, where security guards prevented the crowd from entering the hotel grounds.

The federation said the incident follows what it described as a series of antisemitic incidents in recent months, including the desecration of graves at the Jewish cemetery on Montjuïc, graffiti, vandalism, threatening demonstrations and threats against members of the Jewish community.
