The protests erupted at Omonia Square, with demonstrators chanting slogans against Israel and attempting to forcefully enter the hotel.

    I agree with your statement (I am Jewish), but in this case, it doesn’t sound like antisemitism was involved. Just criticism of Israel, something that is not antisemitic, no matter how much Israel and its supporters claim it is.

      Well. It sounds more then criticism. Sounds like a use of violence to destroy the hotel and try to attack Israeli people (which do not represent the Israeli government) It’s not a question of antisemitic behavior. It’s just uneducated people taking out steam in the wrong place.
