'Israeli media warns of danger to Jews in Barcelona'

'The Socialist Party, ERC and Sumar, to "sever relations" between the city and Israel until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza, as well as some Jewish-owned businesses, have been attacked in Barcelona. Months ago, former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, in one of her last meetings before municipal elections, broke Tel Aviv's partnership with Barcelona, but did not cancel Barcelona's partnership with Gaza. Spreading news of Barcelona's potential hostility toward Israelis is bad economic news for the city, as some 400,000 Israelis visit Barcelona each year, many of them attracted by soccer.

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.
