"The Jewish community in...Catalonia
has taken action over anti-Semitic messages posted on social networking
sites after Israeli basketball team Maccabi Tel Aviv beat Real Madrid to
win the Euroleague title on Sunday.
After the game in Tel Aviv was over, nearly 18,000 offensive messages
appeared on Twitter, according to Jewish associations, which have
announced they are planning to file a complaint with the state attorney
on Tuesday. According to sources from the Jewish community, the
complaint will include tweets from five users of the micro-blogging site
– along with their full names – which, the complainants will argue,
constitute incitement of hatred against Jews."
