Two Jewish women were allegedly pushed out of a spa in Spain as staffers screamed at them after an employee saw their Star of David necklace.
The married couple, who are Americans living in Barcelona, according to Israeli author Hen Mazzig who posted a video of the shocking exchange on X, were trying to enter gay spa Sauna Thermas when chaos ensued.
Staffers refused to allow them to enter the spa and repeatedly quizzed them if they were Zionists after seeing their necklace.
Mazzig did not provide the women’s names.
“Are you a Zionist person?” a short-haired woman wearing glasses who appears to be a staffer at the spa, asked in the video.
When one of the women pushed back on the Spaniard’s inquisition, another staffer jumped in and said “The question is not Jewish, is Zionist” while flashing a mocking grin.
“They’re kind of the same thing,” the woman replied.
The second staffer, who was wearing a black tank top, then attempted to knock the Jewish woman’s phone out of her hand, and told her she wasn’t allowed to record in the spa.
A group of women then swarmed the two would-be spa goers and buffaloed them out of the spa as one of the women pleaded with them not to push her as other attendees just looked on.
“We don’t condone genocide,” the second short-haired woman screamed.
Outside the spa, the crowd of women became more physically aggressive, attempting to swat the phone out of the woman’s hand and snapping in the women’s faces.
“Free Palestine,” the staffer in the black tank top yelled.
The exiled women then approached a bouncer standing outside and attempted to explain what had just happened to them.
“So were kicked out because we’re Jewish,” one of the women said
“She saw our Jewish Star and she said you can’t be here,” the other added.
The pair asked if they could return to the spa, but the bouncer said they wouldn’t be permitted because they were recording.
“We just want to go in and have a good time,” one of the women said.
The two women promised they’d put their phones away if they were permitted to enter the establishment, but the staffer in the black tank top returned and put the kibosh on their hopes to return.
“Alberto, it’s a no,” she said.
The two women filed a police report after the incident, Mazzig said.
