Analysts routinely think that attacks like this one happen because of the conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians,” but in reality the enmity goes much deeper than that. Hatred of Jews is deeply ingrained in the Qur’an, which calls Jews “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82), and says that they “have been put under humiliation wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and transgressed.” (3:110) It says that Allah transformed the disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166). It says that they say Ezra is Allah’s son, and are consequently accursed (9:30). And there are many other passages heaping contempt and scorn upon them.
“Jewish Teens Escape Axe Attack Near Paris,” JTA, June 8, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Two Jewish teenagers told police they narrowly escaped an attack near Paris by a hatchet-wielding man and three others.
The attack occurred late at night on June 4 in Romainville, a northeastern suburb of the French capital, according to a report by the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA.
The teens, aged 14 and 15, said they were walking to the Lilac Synagogue with their grandfather to attend Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a custom in which Jews study scripture all night. While crossing the town’s Market Square, the two boys and their grandfather, all wearing kippahs, said they were followed by a tall man in his 20s wearing a long beard. They described the man as having an athletic figure and an Arab appearance.
Producing a hatchet, the man began to chase the two boys, according to the BNVCA report, then whistled to three other men who joined the chase. The boys and their grandfather filed complaints with police, BNVCA President Sammy Ghozlan wrote.
Last month, BNVCA and SPCJ, the watchdog of France’s Jewish communities, documented two suspected anti-Semitic beatings of Jews in the Paris suburb of Creteil. Also last month, police received a report about three men who were filming the entrance to the local Jewish school of Creteil, Otzar Hatora.
In March 2012, France saw a sharp increase in anti-Semitic acts following the murder by an Islamist radical of four Jews at a Jewish school in Toulouse….

Good stuff from you and Dumbledore’s Army below, Undaunted.
Most Muslims don’t expect *any* resistance from Westerners at all—fighting back in *any* form may well drive off cowardly Mohammedans, who prefer victims who won’t put up any sort of defense.
All too often Westerners assume that even thugs have basically rational aims—robbery, say—and that if we passively comply we will remain safe.
This is often questionable even when dealing with garden-variety criminals, of course—and it is utterly suicidal when dealing with homicidal Mohammedans.

Of course it is. According to some stupid 7th century bedouin they are Allah’s “monkey-men”!!!

What the hell has gone wrong with the world??? We just let crazed people run the streets and make the rules??? Hell, no!!!! I don’t care where you are from but deep inside man he wants to do his own thing. That is what got in between God and us in the first place. No one wants to be like everybody else!!! Would you??? I want to be unique, me; not as some crazy people say I have to be. And then they themselves do vile things with little boys, how could anyone follow anyone like that.

Two thoughts.
Thought no. 1 (for this Jewish grandfather and his grandsons and, indeed, all able-bodied members of the community both male and female, old and young).
Krav Maga; Wing Chun Kung Fu; Tae Kwon Do; or other martial art, preferably one that includes techniques for dealing with attackers who have edged weapons.
Thought no. 2, both for the community itself but most especially for the French metropolitan police – Sting Ops.
We *know* that mohammedans seem to react very predictably and violently, very often, to a visibly identifiable Jew.
Well…let them discover that an apparently meek and mild Jew ambling to and from Synagogue on a pleasant Shabbat evening…*ain’t* as meek and mild as he appears…and that he has a LOT of very large, well-armed no-nonsense uniformed friends who suddenly appear and as suddenly overpower the mohammedans, so fast that they (mohammedthugs) don’t even have time to summon the usual insta-mob.

They wanted to pull a Drummer Rigby on them, but they got away. Next time some unfortunate victim may not.
FatherJon says
Reminds me of the kind of random street attack by two crazed Muslims on Trooper Rigby in London last year. I feel we’ll be reading of more incidents like this.

Michael Copeland says
With respect, father, the muslim jihadist who killed the British soldier in London was not “crazed” (though that is how the media like to portray him). He was a convert, who had studied his Koran: he had noted on paper a number of verses, and gave the paper to an onlooker. “We are forced by the Koran in Sura At-Tawba, and in many many aya [verses] throughout the Koran”, he explained. That “sura”, or chapter, number 9, being the latest complete sura chronologically, overrides and “abrogates” all the peaceful verses elsewhere in the Koran. The killer was dutifully and devoutly obeying the Koran’s commands, which are part of Islamic law, to “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” (9:5), and “Strike [their] necks” (47:4). He even took the time to explain to the passer-by who filmed him. He was obeying Islam’s instructions: he was not “crazed”. Muslims intent on killing Jews and other kuffar are only doing exactly what it says in their book.
Jay Boo says
With all due respect to the butcher knife hatchet man religion of Islam.
This is so wrong.
It is prayer TIME once again, time to bow your heads Muslims.
Not once, not twice but five times a day — bow your disgraceful heads in shame.
Dan says
I wouldn’t have known about these incidents if it wasnt for JW.
Jay Boo says
Unfortunately, the messengers of MSM eagerly fill their cups to the brim with silence poured from fountain of political correctness.
Islamisdeath says
Guess Rezali is too busy waging jihad at the Karachi airport to post on how all these Jewish boys need to do is convert to Islam and the Muslims would open their arms in loving acceptance.
More horror from the horrible muslims
gravenimage says
This is so true, Islamisdeath.
Dennis Trisker says
It may take many attacks like this to wake up the Jewish community to the dangers that Jihadi Muslims pose to them. I hope that the Jewish people do not wait for wholesale attacks like they did in Germany. I often wonder why the Jews outside of Israel are so passive and do not see the dangers to their people!
bettina says
Oh, they see the dangers, believe me — they breathe in shocking new waves of anti-Semitism in so much of Europe, that Jewish immigration to Israel has increased very sharply, and very rapidly.
Jews think they’re full-fledged citizens of the countries they live in… until bigotry, intolerance, murderous violence, and political expedient rear up their combined ugly heads to strike the Jew.

Axe-wielding Muslims attack Jews in Paris
………………………………………
This is *terrifying*. When is the last time you had *axe-wielding attackers* in the streets of Paris? Attacks by the Vikings?
Islam really is taking us back to the dark ages.
Thank God these boys and their grandfather got away—but the next group of Jews—or other Infidels—may not be so lucky. Or perhaps this aggression was just meant to terrify—*this time*. Next time it may be in full earnest.
I have several times seen vague mention in the MSM of “resurgent antisemitism” in Europe. If you knew nothing about Islam—as so many in the West still don’t—then you would probably assume it was “skinheads” or others on the ‘far right’ who are responsible. I have seen *very* few mentions of Islam—but Jew-hating Muslims, are, of course, the big threat.
God, I hate islam.
Nigel Dixon says
Sorry to be the voice of dissent here, but there is no confirmation anywhere that the attackers were Muslim. The one attacker is described as having a “long beard”. The other 3 attackers he whistled to are not described at all. Is that it?
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article – “..a tall man in his 20s wearing a long beard. They described the man as having an athletic figure and an Arab appearance.”
“Arab appearance”.
The majority of Muslims in France are of Arab ethnicity – from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco; and the converse also applies – the majority of “Arabs” in France are *Muslims*. It is a pretty safe bet that a young man of “Arab appearance”, in Paris, wearing a long beard and waving an axe as he approaches a group of Jews with mayhem and murder clearly intended, is a Muslim.
Two prior murderous attacks on Jews in Paris – the murder spree carried out by Mohammed Merah, and the murder of Sebastian Selam – were carried out by Muslims of North African “Arab” background.
dumbledoresarmy says
Small correction to my posting above.
I should have written, “Two prior murderous attacks on Jews in *France*”.
The Muslim murder of Sebastian Selam indeed took place in Paris.
Mohammed Merah’s murder of a rabbi, of the rabbi’s two little sons, and of 8 year old Miriam Monsonego, took place in the schoolyard of a Jewish school in Toulouse.
