Hundreds protest "anti-Semitic" gang rape in Paris
A 12-year-old Jewish girl was allegedly gang-raped in northern France, sparking widespread outrage and concerns over rising antisemitism in the country. The attack has been condemned by politicians from all sides, with French President Emmanuel Macron denouncing the "scourge of antisemitism" in French schools. According to reports, three boys aged between 12 and 13 have been taken into custody in connection with the alleged rape. The girl told police that she was approached by the boys, who beat her and forced her to undergo anal and vaginal penetration as well as fellatio. The incident has sent shockwaves through France, with anti-racist, rights, and feminist groups calling for demonstrations against the attack. SOS Racisme president described the crime as "anti-Semitic" and said it chilled their blood.
All light must be shed on the circumstances of this crime, including its anti-Semitic nature, if this is confirmed.
Since October 7, an atmosphere of anti-Semitism has spread and developed in an extremely worrying manner in our country, which we must combat.
The fight against antisemitism must be that of all republicans.
You have always the pressure to take a position regarding the conflict, and it means being a Jew is being, in a way, a legitimate target for some people.
They are very worried [about] the future, also due to the two extreme blocs which now are growing in France – the extreme right, the extreme left – even if some Jews sometimes think to be attracted by the extreme right as an answer to antisemitism, most of the Jews think it is also a real threat.
The climate is very, very difficult for Jews.
