A group of Israelis were pushed and verbally accosted by attendees at the LGBTQ Pride Parade in Bologna, Italy, earlier today, witnesses told Channel 12.

The group held a rainbow version of the Israeli flag, which other parade attendees took issue with, prompting the altercation. According to the report, a pregnant woman among the group of Israelis was violently pushed.

“They screamed at us that we were murderers, all the children there were scared,” one Israeli is quoted as saying.

“I stood with my wife and son and another family who came with strollers, and we filmed their screams.” Another adds,”We were with children, proud families who came to march in an event founded to promote our rights – and we were attacked because we are Jews.”
