En jødisk lærer ble brutalt overfalt av en gruppe menn av utenlandsk opprinnelse i Paris, i det som tydelig var et antisemittisk overfall. De knuste nesen hans, overfuste ham med «død over jødene» og tegnet et hakekors på brystet hans med tusj.
Overfallet skjedde utenfor en kosherrestaurant, og læreren bar kippa. Det var bare å vente på at et offer skulle komme ut.
A Jewish teacher was savagely beaten by a group of Arab men in a brutal anti-Semitic attack in Paris, according to the Bureau for National Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA).
The attackers – who shouted «death to the Jews» and «filthy Jew» during the assault – broke the victim’s nose and drew a swastika on his chest after tearing open his shirt.
“One of the perpetrators opened the victim’s shirt and with a black marker drew a swastika on the man’s bare chest,” BNVCA president Sammy Ghozlan wrote in the BNVCA report, according to JTA.
The victim – identified only as K. Richard – told police the men had cursed him in Arabic and French, and appeared to have been of North African descent.
He was ambushed after leaving a kosher restaurant and was wearing a kippa (skullcap) at the time of the assault.
Anti-Semitism in France has hit headlines in recent years and has seen a marked increase, with the majority of attacks being blamed on extremists from the country’s sizable Muslim community.
Earlier this year, thousands of supporters of anti-Semitic comedianDieudonne chanted hate slogans including «Jews out of France!» in a rally in central Paris.
