Israeli media warns of danger to Jews in Barcelona

In addition, Barcelona's Jewish community lives with the fear that comes with this environment. Rabbi David Lieberson, head of the Jewish' 'of the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Barcelona, stated that "the negative effect that Barcelona has outside its borders is extremely disturbing, not only because of the loss of human capital from Israel as a tourist, investor and possible citizen of a cosmopolitan city, but also because of what we are already experiencing here. We're not looking for a polarized Barcelona that leans only to one side of the weighing scales." Lieberson asks, "Have we already forgotten August 17, 2022?" in a reference to the Islamic terrorist attack on the Ramblas.
