Members of an anarchist group in Greece vandalized the Israeli embassy in Athens using bottles of red paint.
The group, Rubicon, filmed themselves committing the early-morning attack yesterday and posted the video online. The video shows the members of the group riding up to the embassy building on motorcycles and throwing the paint at it.
The embassy was closed due to the Christmas holiday. The building reportedly is located at a busy intersection.

“We identify with the Palestinians, a nation that for decades has been a victim of oppression,” Rubicon says in a statement released after the attack. “In reality, the Palestinians are pressured to leave their land. This is ethnic cleansing at a low intensity level for decades.”
In December 2014 a Greek far-left group fired shots at the embassy, also in a pre-dawn raid. There were no injuries.
