Plomari, #Lesvos: Local businesses expressing solidarity with #Palestine are targeted by #Zionists. According to complaints from residents and workers, in recent weeks there have been cases of aggressive behaviour, negative and defamatory comments on online platforms and direct intimidation of workers by people of Israeli origin.
...The incident came to a head when a store employee was subjected to ironic comments and insulting treatment inside the store by members of a family of Israeli visitors. One young man mockingly called her a "supporter", leaving clear hints about her political stance, and shortly afterwards his mother allegedly stopped her in the street to take a photo and directed an ironic remark at her, which was seen as a clear attempt at intimidation.
Reactions in the local community were immediate. Residents expressed their strong annoyance at the occurrence of such phenomena, stressing that Plomari was and remains a hospitable place, but not a silent one. Village society, they argue, has historically demonstrated solidarity, humanity and political sensitivity, and will not be silent in the face of pressure or intimidation practices.
