A new anti-Semitic attack has taken place in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. According to a message posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Muriel Ouaknine-Melki, president of the OJE Association, a 75-year-old woman was violently attacked in broad daylight outside her apartment door.
The attacker, her neighbor, allegedly beat her up while shouting, “Dirty Jew, go back to Gaza.” The association immediately took charge of the victim and accompanied her to file a complaint.
Muriel Ouaknine-Melki directly challenges the authorities in her message, addressed in particular to President Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Noël Barrot, asking: “How many more victims until the 22nd? And after that?” — a reference to the worrying rise in anti-Semitic acts in the country, particularly in the run-up to September 22, the date scheduled for the hoisting of Palestinian flags in several town halls, an already highly controversial initiative.
This attack comes amid growing tension in France, where reports of anti-Semitic acts are increasing.
