Maybe they’re Episcopalian:
A 23-year-old Jewish woman was attacked last Thursday in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris, by two youths who beat her and shouted anti-Semitic slogans… The European Jewish Press reported Monday that she was attacked in front of her house by two youths of “African origin” wearing hoods and scarves to cover their faces. One of the two was later arrested by police and taken into custody. They shouted “You dirty Jew” at the woman before stealing the mobile phone she was using and beating her violently about the head and body… According to Rebecca, the two aggressors recognized her Jewish origin when they saw a Star of David around her neck.
No worries. The French Jewish community have nothing but faith in their police, government, and society. Nothing but full faith:
At first she didn’t mention the anti-Semitic character of the attack to police out of fear for reprisals, but she did so later after speaking to the National Bureau of Vigilance against anti-Semitism. “She was afraid and very disturbed,” Sammy Ghozan, head of the Bureau, told the EJP.
Jews are being targeted throughout Europe, and they’re terrified of describing the attacks lest they invite more violence. Netanyahu’s slogan about Iran is “it’s 1939 and Iran is Germany,” and that’s kind of unsettling – but in an uncertain world where everything is always in flux, isn’t it comforting to know that France is still France?
