surely 5 young Israelis can take on 5 racist punks from Albania, especially if they have military training. Why didn't they defend him?

Why the political correctness? It's just another example of Muslim migrants in Europe attacking Jews, the same thing that happens regularly all over Europe. Of course, they don't only attack Jews - they burn cars & buses in Paris, murder film producers in Holland, blow up buses & subways in London & Madrid, etc. etc.

the staff of embassies. When there is a problem like this,they should work. The friends should have stayed with him.

all the comments are 100%.Now please do not get me wrong. Isrealis have the right to go anywhere. But reason should prevail. What the hell are Jews going to Turkey Greece India Indonesia etc etc etc. Choose your countries carefully for God's sake and for your sake. We are hated . I am a 3rd generation Canadian and I would not go to any of those countries. Maybe Canada, USA , are the only ones left. Perilous times. Stop going to Africa, Europe etc. China is probably OK. India maybe.

For situations like this, there should be SOMEONE working - no matter what day it is!! Especially now!! And his friends should have stayed with him!! What about the Jewish community in Greece?? Why didn't they come to his aid??

for months there have been reports about the wild drunken behaviour of Israelis on vacation in Greece...now they get beat up and suddenly it is all about anti-Israelism and anti-semitism! really...if they were really doing sweet and wonderful things would they have been beat up for "no reason"?

The story tells about several Israelis in the alley. Why didn't the friends defend the victim in the alley? Did everything really happen as told in this article? Amazing speed in writing this story, the incident happened yesterday late afternoon and at 5.48 the story is ready.. Do other countries make such anti-something news every time their citizen is mugged abroad? Naturally such an event is regrettable but why paint one one incident that Greece is anti-Semitic and blame Albanians (Muslims) before there is real evidence that they really are Albanians.

Kos is where Europeans go to get drunk and party... Wild drunken behavior is hardly something exclusively Israeli in Kos! The gang of Albanians that attacked the poor fella, shouted anti Jewish and Anti Israeli slurs, so yes, this would be considdered a motive.

God knows what they were doing. Maybe absolutely nothing at all. Number 7 makes a good point. Get the hell out of those countries. Save your money and go to the USA, China, Canada. Maybe that is it. I am not Jewish- despite my name- father was and I am a RC don't you know it is dangerous. What in heaven's name are you doing in Turkey you idiots. Don't you know they want Shariah law there. You are Jews. Go to your churches save yourself

do, too. A woman I know named Demi McFadden went to her father's funeral in Greece. Her female relatives thought Demi had some money since she was married to an American and they started beating on her in a car on the way to the cemetery. Demi was in the front seat and the relatives hitting her were in the back seat, screaming, "Where's the money? Where's the money?" When the car stopped at a stop sign, Demi jumped out of the car and ran for her life. She caught a bus to the airport and took the first flight back to America, leaving her luggage in Greece with the relatives, who were so cruel, she could not attend her father's burial. Demi's answer to the problem of violence among Greeks was never to go back to Greece. She visits the Czeck Republic where she was raised, but no longer goes to Greece where she was born. Maybe Israelis should reconsider vacations in Greece until the government determines what is making the people so vicious. Is it the water? Air? Food? Stress?

terrible that he was beat up, abandoned by his Israeli friends, and is alone and frightened. Perhaps he should have gone to the synagogue and prayed, he would have been spared. great secular education.

You do know that Albanians are a European race as well though ?

They left him to be beaten up and stranded in Greece. I would never want to see those guys again.

the boy is 24 y, in foreign country, involved in quarrel and the attackers were not armed. you still say IDF soldiers shooting unarmed Palestinian teen is not anti-Hametic racism?

Four young-men had their pilgrimage in Sukkot to Greece, went to the beach for celebrating, highly likely drank some light liquor, played with some girls from Norway and with some "apparently" Albanians. What was the result of the Sukkot competition game; who won the attention of the pretty Norwegian girls; and who got the anti-Semitism? Three times each year, all your males shall thus present themselves before God the Master, Lord of Israel." (Exodus 34:18-23)

youth beaten up for being jewish - you idiot or was there any reason for murdering 6,000,000 jews as well ???? reports of wild drunken,of Israelis? I've never heard of ANY ! GO , erase that tatoo Swastika from your ------------ and get a life, you need to get rid of all that hatred man!

Theoretically, they are descended from the ancient Illyrians, a branch of the earliest Indo-Europeans to settle in Europe. And what does this have to do with my comment? The Albanians in question are Muslim migrants. They are not Buddhists or Hindous or Unitarians. Their behavior fits into a general pattern all over Europe in which Muslims attack Jews. And while their behavior is unfortunately all too common, my real criticism was the article's political correctness in calling them simply Albanians.

Why do you assume those who attacked him are Muslims ? there are anti semitic attacks happening in britain and Russia too , why always blame the muslims automatically. you guys should grow up .

You sound as if you´re an Albanian.

Of course, blame the victim especially if the victim is a Jew. We all know where you are coming from. And this is the way Greece thanks Israel for its help during their recent problems. How may other countries helped? Certainly not rich Saudis.

After Israel left Egypt ,the fear of the Jews kept her enemies in check for some time. That fear is long gone,but it will come back by God's hand again. The more Israel has gone out of her way to make peace ,the opposite effect has taken place. Israel has dnoe everything possible,coming close to national suicide for peace with her neighbors but it has only brought more hatred of Jews and bellowing winds of war. Forgetting the important lesson of peace thru strength israel has weakly submitted to the U.S. Road Map which entails surrender and retreat from her land. This has emboldened the jihadists and all the other Jew haters to killl of the weak lamb. The animals follow the law of the jungle and so Israel has better get back to the law of survival and drop the garbage book of 'How to make freinds and influence people'
