Antisemitic Attack Shakes Paris

By Hamodia Staff

In the Parisian suburb of Gennevilliers, a 32-year-old Jewish woman reported being subjected to a harrowing antisemitic assault this week. According to French media sources, she alleges that she was abducted, and threatened with murder by an individual seeking retribution for Palestinians.

The suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, was apprehended on Tuesday and faces charges of making religiously-motivated death threats and drug-related offenses. While prosecutors consider the appropriateness of the kidnapping charge, investigations into the other accusation are ongoing.

The incident has sparked widespread condemnation across France’s political spectrum. Leaders from both the Left and Right have denounced the attack, expressing solidarity with the Jewish community.

Marine Le Pen, representing the National Rally party, pointed fingers at “far-left” negligence for fostering an environment conducive to antisemitism. Meanwhile, the government’s anti-racism delegation has labeled the importation of the Israeli-Hamas war into France as intolerable.
