Fans of a Bosnian soccer team chanted anti-Semitic epithets in Vienna prior to a match with the Bosnia-Herzegovina team.
The some 50 fans wearing team colors were seen in a video on YouTube among several dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators at a central city plaza during a Tuesday protest, the Austrian newspaper Der Standard reported on Friday.

Australian police are investigating the incident, according to Der Standard.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
