(Scroll down for video) A group of Jews attending a Beyonce concert in Germany faced an anti-Semitic crowd.
The Jews from Israel attending the concert in Berlin over the weekend were greeted with hateful shouts from the audience.
The incident took place when a group of eight Israelis, including two soldiers on leave, came to the O2 hall in Germany for the Beyonce concert. The group managed to arrive early and succeeded in purchasing seats in the front row, to the dismay of local German fans.
According to two Israelis of the group, the Germans shouted insults at them and assaulted them.
"They shouted ‘dirty Jews’ and ‘go back to Israel,’” the Israelis said. "They also threw us to the ground," one of the Israelis said. "When they saw that we will not leave about 50 people began chanting "Go! Go!'" the man said.
“This is extremely hurtful incident. Beyonce should come out and apologize to her Jewish fans and urge her non-Jewish fans not to act in such a despicable manner,” Danny Green, 28, a Beyonce fan in Long Island, New York told YourJewishNews.com after being asked to comment about the anti-Semitic incident.Mobile video not loading?
