Big Brother contestant Shelly Almogis has shared her distressing experience in Barcelona, which turned into a nightmare. After reporting a severe antisemitic incident where an official spat on her and cursed her upon learning she was Israeli, her flight back to Israel with dozens of other Israelis was canceled at the last minute. Almogis documented the shock and chaos at the airport in real-time updates on her social media stories. Passengers were boarded onto the plane, but after hours of delay, they were deplaned without any accommodation or arrangements for the night. "This is the most nightmarish night of my life," Almogis stated, adding, "No hotel, no money back. We were led astray." Approximately 125 Israeli passengers were forced to organize independently in the early hours of the morning to find lodging. "Families with children and the elderly were left without assistance," Almogis wrote angrily, describing how the airline abandoned them at the airport. This airport ordeal follows a traumatic experience the previous day when she was attacked in the city due to her nationality. "I am shocked, I have never seen such hatred," she shared. Almogis and the other passengers are now trying to find a way back to Israel amidst the antisemitism and the flight fiasco.
