Paris Teen Hospitalized After Vicious Anti-Semitic Attack

Words

Probably just very exuberant anti-Zionism:

A 17-year-old French Jew was attacked Saturday night in Paris, a violent assault condemned by President Nicolas Sarkozy and described by Jewish organizations as motivated by anti-Semitism. The young man, identified as Rudy Haddad by one Jewish organization, was attacked by youths of African origin, according to a police source and a statement from the National Agency of Vigilance Against Antisemitism. The agency cited the use of iron bars in the attack. Haddad is suffering from "serious neurological problems," a police source said. Another Jewish group, the Union of French Jewish Students, said Haddad had been identified as Jewish because he was wearing a kippa, and had suffered several broken ribs, a fractured skull and was now in intensive care at a hospital in central Paris. "The victim was wearing a kippa and was on his way back home when his attackers, after identifying him as Jewish, started to beat him," the union said.

No responsibility is to be borne by academics or activists who froth at the mouth while screaming that shadowy cabals of Jewish bankers, journalists, and merchants are undermining the West and must be excised from decent society. Because their accusations are aimed at Zionist Jews. So that's OK.
