Berlin – A group of eight Israelis, including two soldiers on leave, arrive early to a Beyonce concert and manage to situate themselves at the front row • German members of the audience call them “dirty Jews.”
Israelis attending a Beyonce concert in Berlin over the weekend were met with anti-Semitic chants from the audience.
The incident took place when a group of eight Israelis, including two soldiers on leave, arrived at Germany’s O2 stadium for a Beyonce concert. The group managed to arrive early and succeeded in seating themselves in the first row, to the dismay of local German fans.
According to two Israelis in the group, the Germans yelled slurs at them and shoved them.
“They yelled ‘dirty Jews’ and ‘go back to Israel,’ and pushed us to the ground,” one of the Israelis said. “At one point when they saw we did not want to leave [the front row] some 50 people began to chant, ‘Go! Go!'”
