"Free Palestine" Debases Barcelona Synagogue; Confusing Synagogue with Israel Shows Racism

"Free Palestine" was spray-painted this week on the front door of the largest synagogue in Barcelona, Spain, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (September 7, 2019).


The vandalism took place on September 4 at the Synagogue of the Jewish Community of Barcelona. Police have no suspects.


News of the synagogue incident has prompted much rebuke online.


"Confusing a synagogue with the state of Israel reflects a racist mentality," Jaume Padros, president of the Official College of Physicians of Barcelona, wrote on Twitter.
