Greek Jewish community expresses concern over antisemitism amid Israel-Hamas conflict

The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece (KIS) has expressed concern about recent manifestations of antisemitism amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas. 

In a statement released Monday, KIS condemned the vandalism of a Holocaust mural at the new railway station in the northern city of Thessaloniki and the damage to a Greek Jewish shop. 

“The era of tolerance for antisemitism is definitively over and, neither in Greece nor in Europe, free voices can allow the return of pogroms against the Jews,” it said.
