France Hit by Wave of Anti-Semitic Attacks

Anti-Semitic acts continue in Europe, years beyond the end of the Gaza war.
France in particular has experienced anti-Jewish convulsions, and had for several months before the Israel-Hamas conflict, Tablet reported.
This past week, Zekaï, a kosher sushi restaurant in Paris, was reportedly pelted with cobblestones and firebombed. The eatery is easily identified as a Jewish one thanks to its prominently displayed kosher certificate, and the fact that it closes on Shabbat on Jewish holidays, which patrons say leads locals to shout “dirty Jews” at diners, and flash the quenelle, the inverted Nazi salute that has become popular across Europe. Police are currently investigating the crime.
Just hours later, a Jewish student wearing a yarmulke was assaulted by a gang of youths outside his private high school in Paris’ third district, according to a local watchdog group. In his complaint to the police, the Jewish teenager says he was beaten, received punches on the entire body and face, and wounded in the eye and under the right cheekbone,” the group reported.
