Attendees of an LGBTQ+ pride event in Malm\u00f6, Sweden<\/a> wearing Stars of David were attacked by an antisemitic and homophobic gang that hurled insults at the victims while assaulting them, according to Swedish police and videos circulated on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The incident came amid an ongoing surge in antisemitic incidents across Europe<\/a> following the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swedish police confirmed on Tuesday that pro-Israel participants of the Malm\u00f6 Pride Parade wearing and displaying rainbow garments and flags with the Star of David embossed on them were stopped, harassed, and assaulted while walking through the streets over the weekend. Police have opened an investigation into the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Swedish police take this type of crime very seriously and we are actively working on the current case,\u201d a police spokesperson said, according to the Jerusalem Post<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Video circulated on social media showed men driving up alongside the pride marchers, verbally harassing them. They then exited the vehicle and were joined by others. The assailants, who appeared to be of Middle Eastern extraction, shoved the pro-Israel attendees and attempted to snatch one of their rainbow Israeli flags while calling them \u201c<\/span>f\u2014king f\u2014gots\u201d and asking if they \u201csupport killing children.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
