  • European Jewish Digest: Looking at the Headlines Across Jewish Europe
    EUROPEAN JEWISH DIGEST: LOOKING AT THE HEADLINES ACROSS JEWISH EUROPE VOLUME 2, ISSUE 5: MAY 2015 1 / ISSUES CONCERNING ANTISEMITISM Violence, Vandalism & Abuse As in previous months, episodes of violence, vandalism and abuse were once again registered in several countries in May. France, in particular, came under the spotlight. At the start of the month, two Jewish men were attacked in Paris by a gang of about 40 people. The victims, both in their early 20s, were slightly injured in an area that is home to many Jewish-owned businesses. The assailants were identified as members of ‘Gaza Firm,’ a pro-Palestinian group that is involved in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. In Lille, at least six tombstones were smashed at the Jewish cemetery, with the vandals also pouring paint on the gravestones. A few days later, a 16-year-old boy, who was wearing a kippa, was attacked while returning home to prepare for Shabbat dinner in Paris. He was approached by four men who robbed him, took his shoes, and smashed his phone into the ground. Two of the attackers held the victim down while a third repeatedly delivered blows to his body and head, injuring one of his eyes severely. The National Bureau for Vigilance Against Antisemitism (BNVCA) classified this attack as antisemitic. Also in Paris, a Jewish woman was slightly injured by three African women who assaulted her because she complained to them about the behaviour of children, whom she thought belonged to at least one of them. Whilst allegedly assaulting her, witnesses heard the African women shouting antisemitic remarks, including “Hitler didn’t finish the job” and a statement about Jews being “a filthy race.” Also in France, the Jewish director of the Technical University Institution (IUT) in Saint-Denis, near Paris, who has received multiple death threats this year, was targeted by unknown individuals who sent five of his colleagues text messages reading “You too will fall.
