Still more victimization of Jews in France. Will French authorities act? Or will they continue to cower in fear before predatory Leftists and Islamic supremacists?
“Facebook Page Publishing Identities of French Jews to Encourage Attackers; 15 Men Assault a Jew in Paris Suburb After Confirming Photo,” by by Joshua Levitt, Algemeiner, July 25, 2014:
A violent mob of more than a dozen men in France assaulted a Jew at his home in a Paris suburb after confirming that his photograph had been published by a French Facebook page identifying Jews to be targeted for physical intimidation, The Union of Jewish Students of France, the UEJF, said in a statement on Friday.
The Facebook page, ‘Jeunes Révolutionnaires Français’, JRF, or ‘Young French Revolutionaries’, posted the names and photos of 32 Jews. The assault on one of those listed took place on Thursday night in Bobigny, Seine-Saint-Denis, a Paris suburb. The assailants were armed with iron bars.
On the ‘Secret Tel Aviv’ Facebook page, Daniel Cohen called the group anti-Semitic, and exhorted Facebook users to report the JRF page to site administrators for removal.
On Facebook, Cohen wrote, “An anti-Semitic page is publishing names and pictures of French Jews in order to target them physically! A few have already been attacked at their homes, one last night by 15 people on one Jewish guy. We need to remove this page!”
The JRF captioned its page with the photos of the Jews to be targeted, “Smile, you’re caught! JRF watches! # AntiLDJ,” referring to the LDJ, the French initials of the Jewish Defense League, an organization created to teach Jews how to defend themselves from anti-Semitic attacks.
The title page of the group’s Facebook presence features a large Palestinian flag and calls for members to attend a rally on Saturday in connection with the international Al Quds Day protests around the world where police are preparing for violence against Jews.
The UEJF condemned the page and provided testimony from the assaulted Jew in Bobigny, according to France’s Le Monde Juif, or The Jewish World on Friday.
The UEJF said three men went to the victim’s house and asked him, “Are you the guy in the photo on Facebook?”
They then said they were there to “break the Jew” and do to him “the same as Ilan Halimi,” a 23-year-old who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by a gang led by Youssouf Fofana, described by The Jewish Chronicle as, “the extraordinarily cruel, Paris-born fifth of seven children of immigrants from the Ivory Coast.”
Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and bound to a tree near a railway station in February, 2006, and his body had been mutilated. Still alive, he died on the way to hospital. Halimi’s murder was made into a movie by French Jewish film director Alexandre Arcady entitled, 24 jours: la vérité sur l’affaire Ilan Halimi, or “24 Days: The Truth About the Ilan Hamili Affair,” inspired by a book with a similar title written by the victim’s mother, Ruth.
In Bobigny, after they confirmed him to be the Jew in the photo, the three men were joined by 15 more, armed with iron bars, who assaulted the victim, the UEJF said. When another resident in the building appeared, the men fled the scene.
The UEJF said: “For several days, many Facebook pages have been created to encourage physical violence against young Jews. Photos were published, with the identities, phone numbers, and contact information. This young man was directly affected by such a Facebook page. It is unacceptable that the Jews are the target of Facebook calls to murder.”
The UEJF said it will file a complaint against the administrators of the Facebook page for incitement to racial hatred and incitement to violence.
In the French media, the LDJ has been blamed for calling for a strong reaction by Jews threatened with violence over the past two weeks since Israel began its Operation Protective Edge to stop Hamas’s rocket fire from Gaza.
But Roger Cukierman, president of the CRIF, the umbrella organization representing the Jewish community in France, told The Daily Beast on Friday that was not instigating further violence, and those accusations were beside the point.
“I am shocked when I hear journalists saying if the De La Roquette synagogue was attacked, it is because of the Jews,” Cukierman told The Daily Beast. “This is propaganda.”
“We had eight synagogues being attacked,” he said. “I am worried about the fact that synagogues are being attacked and not worried about these self-defense groups.”

I actually reported this page a couple of days ago, for a “credible threat of violence” as that accurately described it, I also reported a number of the images of the savages intended targets. After I’d reported a few, FaceBook warned me that I was spamming and to slow down, after a couple of hours I got notified that they didn’t agree, and the page and images would stay.
Just now I did a screenshot, and you can see they have now removed it.
Because they have revised their decision, too late maybe.
Wellington says
Good work, Marc. I might add that I’m no fan of Facebook.
Jerry says
More appropriately: Facesbook
john spielman says
these victims should now SUE FACEBOOK!

can you send the screen shot??

Kudos, Marc. Even if they blew you off initially—which is disgusting—when they got enough complaints about this thuggery Facebook *had to* take another look.

Thanks for pursuing this Marc!

DO NOT TRUST FACE BOOK. DONT EVER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.
dsinc says
Too true, It’s better to be faceless on Facebook.
LeslieMPSHDP says
I don’t give FB any info that is true except my name and many many people have my name but that is way to much probably.

I tried facebook a little while and found it annoying, so I expunged my account. I get enough unwanted e-mails as it is, and facebook added to them. Anyway, who cares if Joe Shmo got a new enema bag? If I want to communicate with someone I’ll do it directly.
This latest fiasco by the savages just shows that facebook can be a dangerous invasion of privacy.

Well, then let’s do it: it is with inevitable disbelief that I watch the antisemites come out of the closet to celebrate Jihad mass murder in order to blame yet another historical mess on the Jews. “Inevitable disbelief” is defined here as something being inevitable, and literally unbelievable, as in a fictive reality.
The fictive reality most Infidel antisemites tacitly embrace is that the Jews are awful people, takers and haters. Well, a glance at the historical record shows none of that, with the Jews looking more like punching bags than murderers. Most of the Infidel antisemites are Judeo-Christian atheists.
The key question here is why all the antisemitism, across the world today and down through the centuries. Let me posit the theory the reason for it is simple jealousy. Jews outperform others, and the Others hate that. A quick review of the Nobel prizes for science looks like the roster of a big synagogue, which tells you who is born with talent and not afraid of the hard work to develop it to improve mankind.
Sure, Jews can be stupid. If the subject of politics comes up with a Jew, I quickly excuse myself to avoid hearing Marxist globo-socialist doggerel that’s about to spill from the Jews lips. Does that make me an antisemite like the Others? Or am I just a nice guy worn down from years of hearing fact-avoidant drivel.
Go Bibi, screw the Infidel antisemites and do what must be done to protect your people in Israel, one of the world’s greatest countries, maybe *the* greatest.

I guess you mean “Western atheists” by “Judeo-Christian atheists”, APF.
Sure, I know creeps like this—but I don’t think *anyone* beats Muslims for violent hatred of Jews—not even neo-Nazis.
After all, it is not Marxist atheists who are going out and beating up pre-identified Jews in their own homes, or besieging their Synagogues—this is the work of antisemtic *Muslims*.
AnneM says
I wonder why Facebook seems to not take this hatred very serious?
VampireJack says
Because it’s no islamophobic.
Only muslims are “protected” people in the modern west.
AnneM says
That all changes when the physical attacking starts up.
duh_swami says
Facebook is an evil entity as far as I am concerned, and I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.
People who possess lead injectors don’t get attacked by men with iron bars.

Paris: Jew assaulted after Facebook page publishes pics of French Jews

When naïve Westerners were nattering about the “Facebook Revolution” at the beginning of the “Arab Spring”, do you suppose that *this* was what they had in mind?

Of course, these are not “Young French Revolutionaries”—they are thuggish *Muslims*—not *French* at all.

It is clear that this has *nothing* to do with the “Palestinian conflict”. These savage Muslims are attacking Jews *as Jews*. This is savagery against Jews, and nothing else.
Tommy Guns says
As usual, the muslim scum need to take 15 men with them to hurt ONE Jew. This is how the COWARDLY, mentally deficient, mohammedans work. It reminds me of the cowardly Boko Haram, when they snuck into a Nigerian village and kinapped 200 ‘SCHOOL GIRLS’ while they were sleeping. I think you’d have to call that a pretty ‘soft target’, LOL!!!!
These Boko Haram ‘soft target’ cowards aren’t real soldiers. Real soldiers are ‘real’ men who would only rescue or save children. And the next time a muslim gang of 15 decides to punish a Jew, perhaps they can inform the Jew so he can have 15 supporters of his own.
Come on mohammedans, let’s have a fair fight for a change, that is, unless you’re too ‘chicken’, because that’s what it seems like cowards.
