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.

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

It hasn't risen, it's just more folks are revealing it.

I recommend Central Europe: Poland, Czechia, Hungary, especially.

Greece is traditionally anti-American. Everything they do (or would do) needs to be assessed from that frame of reference.

Greece has imported huge numbers of refugees from the Mideast in recent years, and there's no need to guess who this "mob of rioters" consisted of.

The Jew hatred of the Mideast has been exported to Western nations and is now metastasizing throughout the West, courtesy of Western leftists.

It's an election year. Remember Trump is very pro-Israeli. Just like the BLM riots of 2020, Trump is very pro law enforcement. When Hamas attacked Israel they knew exactly how Israel would respond and they are using that response to play the victim.

Will it lead to Ezekiel 38?

That was my first question too.

Yes, I could have been more clear.

Many people have been praying for God to reveal the evil among us.

He certainly has done so.

Now for the rest of the prayer that He would deal with it.

You’re blaming Germans for migrants in Greece? Blame Israelis too. See my post 11.

Anyone who is antisemitic is also extremely stupid and evil. You will recognize them by their antisemitism. I would never knowingly hire them or associate with them.

Frau Merkel was the most powerful person in the EU not long ago.And it was the EU that decided to announce that their doors would be flung open for all those poor moslem refugees.

True story: a few years back there was an ugly incident during one of Germany's national holiday celebrations. It seems that a number of German women were molested and violated in various ways by groups of young moslem men during a celebration. Soon after the mayor of one of Germany's major cities commented that to prevent such incidents in the future German women should dress more modestly.

That's what Frau Merkel brought to Europe.And remember...there are no borders or identity checks in the EU...so moslems admitted to Germany can live anywhere they want in Europe.

I was talking to my Greek friend 2 nights ago. He said there’s rumors going around Greece that the floating port being built by the US isn’t for aid delivery but rather to evacuate Palestinians to Cyprus. He also said things are very tense over there because many fear this is all leading up to WW3. Don’t know if the above video has anything to do with this.

They'd better be going to the Turkish side.

The Turks will take them in? Iraq will become a western style democracy.

You are very smart.

Blame Merkel. But also blame many other EU nations, as well as foreign meddlers, including Americans and Israelis, plus NGOs, NATO, the UN … plenty of guilty parties.

Nor is Merkel that powerful. Orbán stood up to her, and all the rest.
