    The victim, identified as Gilles Cohen, said he was assaulted from behind, beaten repeatedly for nearly five minutes, and subjected to antisemitic slurs including “dirty Jew.” His attacker also tried to rob him, demanding money, keys, or the synagogue’s address before fleeing.

    Cohen, who was wearing a hat marking him as visibly Jewish, told i24NEWS the assault highlights the danger Jews face in the Paris suburbs. For security reasons, he declined to reveal the precise location of the attack.

    Authorities have not yet announced an arrest. Security around synagogues and religious sites has since been reinforced, as antisemitic incidents in France continue to surge — up nearly 300% since 2023, according to official reports.

    Jewish leaders say the attack underscores growing fear among France’s half-million Jews, the largest Jewish community in Europe.

    Yidden please do not think this denigration of civility and tolerance of Yidden is limited to France or western Europe. It is alive and well in the USA. Shmucky Schumer and his JINO cohorts in the US senate & House & are to blame in a BIG way. The left wing communist demorats are at the forefront of this wave of anti semitism and violence against Yidden. It is fomanted on college and university campuses by liberal leftist atheist purported educators. If MADmani is elected NYC mayor no Yid will b safe in the city. It will be open hunting season on Jews. And if these liberal Jews are in self denial that they won’t be targeted, they have a BIG SURPRISE on the horizon. “Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it” Remeber the words of liberal Jews in Berlin as they were being attacked “Ich bin ein Deutsche”
    HaShem please help, SEND MOSHIACH NOW! We Beg You

    PALLYWEID Sham playbook: Infamous Fascista Francesca GOEBBELS Albanese began the “genocide” slur in 2014 when she was condemned for antisemitism, then increased her propaganda post genocidal-Palestine-Gaza regime Oct 7 atrocities [ignoring: IDF’s evacuations, providing aid and Gaza regime using civilians]. The echo chamber just copies one another including the $30 fake experts of IAGS, or the trio Pillay/Sidoti/Kothari (as in 2022 “Jewish control” canard) calling itself UN “independent” commission. Then instantly the organized [see ADL 3.18.25] bigoted wikipedians hurry to include it. While “over 50 leading international law, genocide & military experts have rejected” (Aizenberg, 5.20.25) it, as well as non-Muslim non-pro-socialism countries [Explicitly: US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, etc.]. “There’s no genocide for the simple reason that if it were genocide, Israel could have accomplished that in about two and a half hours.” – Mike Huckabee (9.25.25)
