Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Fans of Club Atletico All Boys gather ahead of a match against rival soccer club Atlanta, which is widely associated with the local Jewish community, raising Palestinian flags as men in hazmat suits carry a casket covered with the Israeli flag.
The DAIA (Delegacion de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas) denounces the All Boys fans’ conduct, slamming it as antisemitic and demanding that authorities act firmly against the actions near the Malvinas Argentinas stadium.
Some of the flyers found near the stadium say”Free Palestine” and “Israel and Atlanta are the same crap.”
Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich says that if the municipality of Buenos Aires does not take action by Monday, she will.
Sucedió hoy en la previa de All Boys y Atlanta. Antisemitas lisa y llanamente. Que la antidiscriminatoria caiga contra ellos. @caallboys y @afa no pueden hacerse los distraídos, sino serán cómplices. Como dije en @infobae y @fmjai: El antisemitismo vive en Argentina y es esto. pic.twitter.com/mdLeN6THMk
