Protest against hate speech in front of the the Delegation of the European Union to Lebanon

A group gathered to object to the initial protest, saying it encouraged hate speech against refugees. “What they are saying is instigation against people in a situation worse than ours. We’re leaving the main problem and throwing it on the refugees,” one of the protesters said. “This is veiled hatred.”
