Three elderly Israeli women were expelled last Saturday from the Reina Sofía museum in Madrid after staff objected to them carrying items identifying them as Jewish, including an Israeli flag and a Star of David necklace.
According to the report, the three women, one of them a Holocaust survivor of Hungarian origin, arrived at the museum accompanied by a Spanish woman who recorded the incident on video. Several visitors reacted angrily to the Jewish symbols the women were wearing, calling them, among other insults, “crazy child killers.”
Instead of receiving assistance from museum staff, a senior official at the institution instructed a security guard to remove the group from the premises, while no action was taken against those who allegedly harassed them.
why would someone go to a museum carrying a flag
So they can get kicked out and then cry about it.
That and the camerawoman make me think this was staged.
This is 100% staged. They put on an exhibit in solidarity with Palestine and these people showed up with Israeli flags and cameras. Whatever they claimed people said to them is also a lie.
Its so sad to see Israel weaponize Anti antisemitism but you really can’t blame the people who harassed them.
Israelis should be made unwelcome everywhere in the world.
carrying items identifying them as Jewish, including an Israeli flag
But I thought there were non-Jewish Israelis too, isn’t that we keep being told?
reacted angrily to the Jewish symbols
Ah yes, the Spanish inquisition famously went after people bearing the Israeli flag, which was an impressive feat given it’s younger than Donald Trump
