The Jerusalem Post reports:

A 17 year old young man was attacked Saturday evening near the Buttes-Chaumont, in Paris, in what has been denounced as an anti-Semitic attack.

According to Raphael Haddad, President of the Union des Etudiants Juifs de France (National Union of Jewish Students), “there is no doubt that the nature of this attack was anti-Semitic”. The group said that the 17-year-old was wearing a kippa, and walking through a neighborhood where many Jewish families live, when he was beaten Saturday night in eastern Paris.

Police said they detained five people for questioning, but were still investigating the reasons for the assault.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, leaving for a visit to Israel later Sunday, as well as the Minister of Interior, Michèle Alliot-Marie, expressed their indignation as well their support towards the family of the victim, who is currently in a coma.

Sarkozy issued a statement “renewing total determination to fighting all forms of racism and anti-Semitism.”

An umbrella organization of French Jewish groups said about 15 people appeared to have ganged up on the boy. It was not immediately clear if any weapons were used.

The teenager’s father told RTL radio that his son was in a coma. The Paris hospital network said the teenager was in intensive care at the Cochin Hospital in Paris. The family’s identity was not released as the teenager is a minor.

France has western Europe’s largest population of both Jews and Muslims. The nation faced a surge in anti-Semitic crime starting in 2000 after tensions between Israelis and Palestinians flared up in the Middle East.

…the 17-year-old was wearing a kippa, and walking through a neighborhood where many Jewish families live, when he was beaten Saturday night in eastern Paris… about 15 people appeared to have ganged up on the boy. It was not immediately clear if any weapons were used. The victim was dressed distinctly Jewish in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, was cowardly attacked by a gang of about fifteen (more than one, at least) but there are doubts as to whether the attack was racially motivated… Somehow, I have no doubt that if the situation was reversed the police would have immediately labeled it a racially motivated crime!

Regardless of what side of the political fence one is on the whole question of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, how will the beating of an innocent Jew or an Arab in Paris contribute one iota to peace, one iota to the bettering of conditions in Gaza?. What cowardly vermin need 15 people to gang up on one Jewish teenager? Are they so afraid of one little Jew? As a Jew – and a very proud one – I can assure you we are not supermen. In the immortal words of the Bard in his Merchant of Venice:

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal’d by the same means, warm’d and cool’d by the same winter
and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
(The Merchant of Venice, Act 3 – Scene 1)

Why was it necessary for more than one putrid bully to attack a Jewish teenager. Are these cretins so afraid of their own shadow they must gather together in a wolf-pack, lest one teenage victim should run them all whelping back to the hell they belong in? Bullies, are bullies, and politics is no more than an excuse for them to act out their hateful, cowardly behavior. If politics were not the excuse, it would be religion, if not religion they would in any case find another and another. These pieces of camel’s dung have once again shown their inability to live, interact and integrate with civilized society. When will Europe realize what’s in store for every single European infidel (Christan, Jew or whatever) and send these creatures back to the hellholes they originated from? Or, in the interest of multiculturalism, will the Europeans consider each single infidel a necessary victim until there will be no more?
