Greek Crowds Attack Israeli Fans, Players at Athens Basketball Game
(Ynet News) Efrat Amoraban - Israeli basketball players and their fans came under attack from Greek crowds in Athens during the FIBA Champions League quarterfinals in Athens on Wednesday, burning the Israeli flag and hurling rocks at Israeli fans in the stands. The crowds held banners with pro-Palestinian messages and carried Palestinian and Hizbullah flags. The Hapoel Jerusalem team said, "At half time we considered removing our players and fans but were unable to because the Greek fans had surrounded the stadium and the danger was real. We also considered stopping the game but were warned by our security detail that such a move would release even more violence and put lives at risk."
