Pro-Palestinian activists are planning a 'Day of Rage' on Sunday targeting Israeli tourists across Greece, with at least 40 protest locations, according to reports. Israeli travelers are advised to exercise caution and avoid protest areas.
Pro-Palestinian activists are planning a 'Day of Rage' on Sunday, August 9, targeting Israeli tourists at over 40 locations across Greece, according to warnings issued by The Zioneer. The initial report of the planned demonstrations came from Channel 14 on Thursday evening at 21:25 Jerusalem time, based on a single source. The Zioneer subsequently expanded the warning, publishing a detailed list of expected protest sites including Athens' Syntagma Square, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Crete (Chania), Kos, Paros, Syros, and other tourist hubs. Organizers have called for the expulsion of Israeli tourists, with particular emphasis on those who served in the IDF.
The threat comes amid a broader pattern of anti-Israel activity in Greece. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, a Greek court ordered the pretrial detention of a Palestinian suspect from Gaza arrested on Crete on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, including a potential strike on a passenger ship. Additionally, a report by The Zioneer on July 19 documented 45 Israelis harmed in antisemitic incidents abroad over the past year, highlighting the heightened risk for Israeli travelers.
The planned protests have not been independently confirmed by Greek authorities. The actual number and locations of protests may vary. Israeli travelers are advised to exercise caution, monitor local security updates, and avoid the designated protest areas.
