Non-Jewish Paris woman suffers anti-Semitic attack
By MICHEL ZLOTOWSKI

Six Arab youths attacked a 23-year old woman and her baby because they thought she was Jewish, Friday morning in a commuter train near Paris.

The youths, aged 15 to 20, stole the backpack of a young mother traveling on the train. Rummaging through her documents for money and credit cards, they found out that her address was in the posh 16th arrondissement of Paris – in fact, her former address. "All the Jews live there," said one of the youth.

The six then pulled knives, slashed the young woman's T-shirt and trousers and cut her hair "for a souvenir," they told her. Then they daubed three swastikas on her belly with black felt pens. When the train stopped at the Sarcelles station (North of Paris), they knocked over the baby buggy holding the woman's one-year old baby and fled.

The woman, who is not Jewish, was not injured.

Some twenty people were seated in the double-decker carriage all the time the six were harassing the young mother. According to the police reports, no one tried to come to her help or even pulled the signal to warn a controller.

After the gang left the train, the young mother stayed on board with her baby and traveled another hour to reach her destination. She later went to the police station to file a complaint against her aggressors.

A French police source told The Jerusalem Post that all possible means were devoted to track down the culprits. The police requested the suburban train authority to provide the monitoring videotapes of the stations where the gang boarded and left the train. It takes twelve minutes to travel from the village of Louvres, where the six embarked, to Garges-Sarcelles, where they left the train. Large Jewish and Muslim communities live side by side in Sarcelles, 15 kilometers North of Paris.

"We asked for witnesses to come and testify," the source sid, "but no one has done so yet." In the case of aggressions, witnesses do not dare testify because they fear the culprits would retaliate. In several recent occurrences not linked to anti-Semitic attacks, indicted youths threatened witnesses inside courthouses. The witnesses then refused to testify. Even judges are often threatened in court.

French President Jacques Chirac said he was "horrified by this odious attack" that occurred only hours after he called on the French to step up the struggle against anti-Semitism and racism. All French political leaders expressed their horror and disgust at a crime "smearing France", said Jean-Louis Debr , the Chairman of the National Assembly.

Roger Cukierman, Chairman of CRIF, the umbrella body politically representing French Jews, said, "We know that the French government is up in arms against anti-Semitism. We would like the civil society to do the same. Because judges reject cases brought against perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts or aggressions, those people feel they enjoy a total impunity. It is now up to the imams and the Muslim leaders to speak out and firmly condemn anti-Semitism. If they fail to do so, the civilian peace is at stake", said Cukierman.

I don't think it's just in the French genes, this passiveness. It's in human nature.
The majority of people, especially in Europe perhaps, is chicken .

So let's analyse this. A woman and her 13 month baby are attacked by French Arabs because they think she is Jewish on a French train with 20 passengers. Incidentally she is not even Jewish.

In Egypt too in the 1940s and 1950's there were instances when they would kill people in the streets thinking they were Jewish when they really were not.

The 20 French passengers do absalutely nothing. They don't even have the courage to seek help from the conductor or pull the emergency chord.

This just shows that the French have not changed since Generale Petain and Laval. They are weasels, cowards and by remaining silent they were accomplices.

Yesterday it was the French Jews, now it's beginning to be the French non-Jews. Mark my words. Within 10 years it will be the non French Jews who will be attacked. This is only the beginning.

Mother, baby attacked on Paris train after mistaken for Jews

VERSAILLES, France - A young woman and her baby were attacked in a suburban train near Paris on Saturday by unidentified men who drew swastikas on her stomach with a pen in what police said was an anti-Semitic assault.



The six attackers who were armed with knives clipped the 23-year-old woman's hair, and cut her t-shirt and pants before drawing three swastikas on her body.

The men of North African origin also overturned the pram with her baby of 13 months.

In the attack they robbed her backpack which contained her identity papers, a bank card and 200 euros ($250).

Police said the attackers erroneously assumed the woman was Jewish because she was living in Paris' posh 16th district.

"Only Jews live in the 16th district," one of the men was quoted as having said.

French President Jacques Chirac expressed his horror and condemned what he called "a shameful attack."

The perpetrators must be found, held accountable and condemned with the full severity of the law, a statement issued by his office said.

French Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin asked police to find the attackers within the shortest possible time, his ministry said in a statement.

The attack was "all the more serious because it was marked by racism and anti-Semitism," he said.


FRANCE SUCKS.

The assault follows a rise in anti-Semitic attacks
French politicians have reacted with horror to an anti-Semitic attack on a woman and her baby on a train.
A gang of young men cut her hair, slashed her clothes and drew swastikas on her body, before overturning the pram in which her infant was lying.

Other passengers failed to intervene as the six men attacked the woman, whom they accused of being Jewish.

President Jacques Chirac condemned the "shameful act", which came the day after he vowed a crackdown on racism.

He demanded that "everything be done to catch the perpetrators... and that they are judged and sentenced with all severity".

Surrounded

The 23-year-old woman was on a train just north of Paris on Friday morning, with her 13-month-old baby.

Six men - described by French media as of North African appearance - surrounded her and rifled through her bag.

According to police, they found papers referring to the wealthy 16th district of the capital, and said: "There are only Jews in the 16th."

Police said the woman was not Jewish and no longer lived in the district.

The attackers reportedly shoved the woman, used a knife to cut her hair and her shirt open, and drew swastikas on her stomach with a marker pen.

The baby was apparently tipped out of its pram in the melee.

Passengers criticised

Politicians from all sides condemned the attack.

Jean-Paul Huchon, president of the Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris, despaired of the lack of reaction from fellow passengers.

He recalled the French deportation of Jewish children during German occupation in World War II, saying: "And now, we let people be attacked like this without reacting, without doing anything."

Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin ordered police to find the culprits "as quickly as possible".

On Thursday, President Chirac complained of a spate of racist and anti-Semitic attacks, including the desecration of Jewish and Muslim graves.

Commentators have linked increasing Muslim-Jewish tension to the continuing conflict in the Middle East.

A few days previously, a report warned that poor suburban areas of French cities were becoming ethnic "ghettoes", where radical Islam was taking root.

more then anything, the French, who denay being ca;;ed anti semeties, were most insulted from being considered Jews!

Well, I find it most ironic. Europeans actualy, practicly and physicly suffer from anti semetism... directed at them! Well Well Well... If that ain't a sign from the all mighty, what is?

There is a phrase common in Israel, taken from our sages, which says... "A rightous man job done by others". (Hebrew: Tzadik, Me'lachto Na'a'seit Be'yedei A'he'rim). Has many different meanings one should contemplate about. Don't get cought up with single meaning alone.

FRANCE SUCKS.

So true!

Well, doesn't Arafat voice a strong condemnation after each bombing of his own men?

Now the French lern the words are not the same with actions. And non action is a form of collaboration. Aspecialy when the non action is taken by a man in power. (the top frog, in the French case).

Not in Israel. Here people help one another, as much as possible. (medical help in accident site, by un authorised person, may cause more harm then good).

Anything other than mass deportation of Muslims is a band-aid solution.

Yes,it would not be that expensive
Some Boeing 747 with full load (400 passengers),bound forAlgiers or Tanger would do the cleaning

Some months would suffice to empty France from his submitted goons

Maybe Air france is waiting for its new airbus A380 to do the job,each A380 can carry up to 500 passengers

Too bad there are no Todd Beamers in Europe.

I guess it's true... two World Wars really did eliminate the gene for courage from the European stock.

But there will be a problem, they'll have to make the tickets cheaper because passangers won't get the traditional small bottle of wine...
