Ambassador to Spain Rafi Shotz came under an antisemitic verbal barrage when he and his wife walked home from Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Saturday.
Shotz said that following the game against FC Barcelona, three men wearing Real Madrid scarves spotted him and began screaming antisemitic epithets such as “dirty Jew,” “Jew bastard” and “Jew murderer.”
Shotz, who said that the shouts were heard all over the street, was told by his two Spanish bodyguards to keep walking.
The ambassador, who reported the incident to Jerusalem in a cable back to the Foreign Ministry, said that the word Israel was not heard. “It was classic antisemitism,” he said.
