PARIS (JTA) – Paris police are investigating after multiple participants were heard shouting “dirty Jews” at a demonstration in Paris focused on Adama Traore, a black man who died in police custody there in 2016.

The chants erupted at Republique Square on Saturday during “Justice for Adama” rally, part of an international protest movement against police violence that has unfolded in recent weeks.
After counter-protesters unfurled a banner that said “Justice for victims of anti-white crimes,” several members of the crowd began shouting about Jews, in an episode caught on video. The Paris police department said in a tweet that it had reported the anti-Semitic comments to the French judiciary.
The chants about Jews in Paris “are an insult to the Republic but also to the cause that the demonstrators claim to promote,” wrote Francis Kalifat, president of CRIF, a group representing French Jewish communities and organizations, in a statement Sunday.
Traore’s death in police custody four years ago has spurred years of protest against police racism and brutality. Multiple reviews cleared the three officers who detained him of wrongdoing, with a final exoneration coming May 29. That was just days after George Floyd was killed in police custody in Minneapolis, igniting protests in the United States and reinvigorating protest in France over Traore’s case.
Among the best-known personalities involved in the ongoing Traore protests was Jean-Luc Melenchon, a far-left politician whom CRIF and others have frequently accused of anti-Semitism. He told the French media he did not hear the chants about Jews, which were documented on social networks.
This aiva was caused by rodfim that insist on making legal safe minyanim! If these sinners would only abandon their Yiddishkeit and embrace the goyims way of life, all the hate would dissipate. It has always worked for us during our exile. Sure, what do think Hitler and the Nazis did with those that threw off their yoke of Yiddishkeit and tried to be nust like them?
Hating Jews is OK from all political viewpoints.
Congratulations to all the bleeding heart liberal Jews that are front and center at these protests. You can be real real proud. Don’t forget to attend next weeks oven warming up ceremony.
If not for dreyfuss trial and Herz attending the trial aS journalist, he would not have written the Judenstaat and there would be no Zionism and no Israel. French antisemitism was the cause
It was Theodor Herzl not Herz
Doesn’t matter what they shout. Liberal suck -up Jews are always marching, waltzing and shmierring wherever and whenever they can.They get kicked anyway but they never learn. Oh, we fight for justice of course. Clowns.
It is just a matter of time, before some of these protestors begin turning against the Jews. They did at at the anti Wall St. rallies in 2011, and I’m sure that they will give us a repeat performance.
It’s time to call in the Boogolo Bois
Why talk overseas ? Right here in the US , the rioters burned and defaced synagogues, looted Jewish owned businesses while shouting **** the Jews .
Remember all this in November. Throw the liberal pro Biden Jews out of your synagogues.
