ELDERLY JEW BEATEN IN PARIS

Elderly Jew beaten in Paris
A 70-year-old Parisian Jew was struck in the head by a man who called her a “dirty Jew.” The woman, who runs a kosher soup kitchen, pressed charges against her attacker, who was described as a 30-year-old man of North African origin.

Sammy Ghozlan, president of the National Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, said that a wave of anti-Semitic attacks following the recent torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man, has terrified the Jewish community. The situation “demands that we put our government officials on the alert so that the panic doesn’t get any worse,” he said.
