France: Authorities covered up Muslim murder of Jewish woman to stop Le Pen upsurge

Jun 9, 2017 7:58 pm By Robert Spencer

The globalist socialist elites will stop at nothing, and sacrifice any number of lives, to preserve their hegemony and keep people ignorant as to the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat.

“French intellectuals accuse authorities of covering up Jewish woman’s slaying by Muslim neighbor,” JTA, June 9, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

(JTA) — A European Parliament member and 17 prominent French intellectuals protested the omission of anti-Semitism from a draft indictment of a Muslim for the murder of his Jewish neighbor.

During a speech in parliament, Frédérique Ries, a lawmaker from Belgium, on Thursday criticized French authorities’ handling of the investigation into the April 4 incident, in which 66-year-old Sarah Halimi was tortured and thrown out of her third-story apartment to her death, allegedly by 27-year-old Kobili Traore, who lived in her building.

“French authorities have treated her murder with icy silence,” Ries, who is Jewish, said in reference to the fact that Traore, who had no history of mental illness, was placed at a psychiatric institution and has not been charged with a hate crime, despite evidence suggesting he killed Halimi because she was Jewish.

“No national mobilization for Sarah, she died as the media remained quasi-indifferent,” she said.

Last week, 17 French intellectuals, including the historian Georges Bensoussan and the philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, published a scathing criticism of the handling of the incident by French authorities and the media.

The omission of hate crime charges from a draft indictment being prepared by the Paris Prosector’s Office for voluntary manslaughter against Traore has angered many French Jews, who cited a recording of the incident made by another neighbor. In it, according to the Tribune Juive weekly, Traore is heard shouting “Allah hu akbar,” “Allah is the greatest” in Arabic. He is heard calling Sarah “Satan” and then praying after her killing.

“Everything about this crime suggests there is an ongoing denial of reality” by authorities, the intellectuals wrote, also citing testimonies of neighbors who said Traore had called Halimi a “dirty Jew” to her face.

“We demand all the truth be brought to light in the murder of Sarah Halimi,” the intellectuals wrote.

The incident occurred month before France’s general election, in which the French political establishment was bracing for unprecedented gains for the far-right National Front party, which opposes immigration to France from Muslim countries and seeks to limit public expressions of that faith….

Many French Jews believe authorities covered up Halimi’s alleged murder to prevent it from becoming fodder for Le Pen’s divisive campaign.

    Poor woman. People need to share this story, make it more public.

    Another reason we need to stop mass-migration….otherwise more will happen. I encourage everyone to contact government officials and push them to support mid-east safe-zones, instead of unvetted-migration. That way people who want to help genuine refugees can do so without putting other people’s lives in danger.

    Safe zones will also contradict the current ideology that “it’s either mass-migration or you’re an Islamophobe bigot.” Promoting safe zones proves there is a better, safer way than what Europe’s leaders have been forcing.

      How do ‘safe zones’ work? Please describe.

      In Syria and Iraq the most people killed by the terrorist are also Muslim and the worst terrorists are from Europe and Russia’s Chechnya! Somehow Chechnya’s latest dictator is a great friend of Russian president Putin and this might be a huge problem for halting them before sneaking into Western Europe!
      Now that ISIS is slowly getting defeated IMO the great danger is that its most virulent members will be secretly returning to their home countries and commit further atrocities! Hopefully the European security agencies like the Interpol and our own CIA will be able to keep track of them! The NSA’s international tracking of telephone and internet communications should help and corporations in control of Facebook and Twitter should also deploy some technical solutions ASAP.
      Unfortunately, Turkeys Islamist president/dictator is only against Shia terrorists like Lebanon’s HAMAS and not the Sunni ISIS, AFIK core source of terror the world over!

    This is how the people of France prefer it. Politicians are, in the end, only a manifestation of the will of the people. Not only are they indifferent, but hostile to this victim as she threatens their will. It is dangerous to be Jewish in France. And in Germany. And increasingly across Western Europe. It is what the people want.

      Really well thought out Georg! “It is what people want”. That statement nailed it, though there are those who don’t want “it”….. to be on the PC bandwagon.

        A kid of Jewish heritage in Germany was ruthlessly assaulted by Muslims recently, over an extended period, and again, it was met with something between indifference and glee. More or less, the parents were told: This is what Jews can expect now in Germany.

        Most people are either indifferent or like it. Some of us don’t feel the same way. But we have to be honest that, at this point, we are a vocal minority.

        I read one account that Mohammad was suspected of being possessed by the demons that Christ had cast into the herd of pigs. The description of the man that Christ had cast the demons out of had hand waving gestures while possessed by the demons that Islamics engage in that are described as being done by Mohammad. It was an interesting read.

    I remember this hateful murder clearly.

    So wait until this poor defenseless woman gets thrown out of 2 story window to get angry. Yeah real good get a freaking grip Frenchies! While I’m sure there are French Patriots that feel silenced the French people still have an obligation to light a torch under the governments ass and force them to maje a real change. What tragic mess!

    Where is justice when it is most needed? This innocent woman was horribly tortured and murdered by a hateful, intolerant Muslim, and her death goes ununreported in the French mainstream media.
    What an injustice.

      Remember the other Halimi torture and murder? It was back in 2011 I think. The guy was kidnapped, taken to an apartment and tortured and I mean tortured, burned and his family was called with extortion requests if I remember. The whole thing went on for about 3 weeks, or so, and the thing that came out… the hideous truth is that the whole building was aware of what was going on and no one called and got the jihadist torturers captured, and so it went on with the ‘moderate’ ‘ordinary’ muslims doing nothing. And that was the point that should have come out… the disgrace that is ordinary Islam, and how it is guilty of being complicit in these acts.

      • Donald R Laster Jr says

        Jun 10, 2017 at 11:08 am

        This is why people need to learn that there is no radical Islam, no moderate Islam, and so on. There is just Islam. People need to educate themselves about this theocracy and what is instructs its citizens to do non-citizens to force people to adopt or become part of Islam. We have 1400 years of record history that shows the real nature of Islam. Just consider when the Muslim Brotherhood was taking over Egypt what happened to the female reporter. She came face to face with real Islam. If she had not been on the air she would have vanished.

      • Sardonyx says

        Jun 10, 2017 at 10:56 pm

        Absolutely horrific. It’s an interesting fact that Islam is the only one of the three largest religions globally that hasn’t undergone a theological reform. I support the peaceful Muslims who want to reform Islam and how it is practiced, but in this current state of mass-generated disinformation, bureaucratic corruption in the EU, and the Stockholm syndrome infecting the sheeple in Europe, the violent Wahabbi sect of thinking will spread indefinitely until people in the West awaken and take back their dying civilization.

    While here in America, we have the same type of Muslim Sympathizers, who endanger the lives of their own citizens, in order to curry favor with Muslims.
    Twin Falls, Idaho just allowed three Muslim (Immigrant) Boys to go free, after sexually abusing a 5 year old girl & filming it for later viewing.
    A monstrous “So Called” Judge silenced the little girl’s parents, while apologizing to the Savage Muslims.
    Our authorities are just like their Cowardly brothers in FRANCE.

    Jun 9, 2017 at 10:46 pm

    The “Left” never deal with reality. Based upon the description this was a classic first degree murder and motivated by Islam’s teachings. Hopefully, the French will wake up and work to save their country from the invaders that have been allowed in.

    Complacency, inertia creates a path to allow wickedness to reign. Or is it the cooperative nature that is common among people in a past stable society so use to a calm environment, they get frozen in fear to allow the awareness of such brutality to enter the mind. That along with the deceptive friendly face of muslims that are cohesively bonded together by doctrine to escape their awareness of their brutality. Almost as if it energizes the group and energy is drained from the stable crowd. It is such a insidious malfunction of the mind to give up. Maybe that is the flaw of freedom…it does not provide cohesiveness to fight back. I hope the French fight back…what happened to this woman is aweful and she should be given dignity.

    This coverup or partial suppression of facts in France reminds me of the coverup or partial suppression of facts that took place in the UK in connection with the industrial-scale ‘grooming’, rape and pimping of Infidel English girls, in places like Rotherham.

    Jun 10, 2017 at 7:37 am

    The authorities could have publicized this, and it wouldn’t have changed the vote. Why would the French care about the murder of a Jewish woman? Le Pen herself said the French weren’t responsible for the deportation of French Jews during WWII. They didn’t want to know then, they don’t want to know now.

  17. Abu Al-Dente says

    Jun 10, 2017 at 7:38 am

    Wouldn’t have changed the outcome much anyway since she outed herself to be fickle with anything other than immigration and islam.
    Uh yeah we’re getting out of EU and we’ll abandon euro currency completely. Uh on second thought we’re establishing a two-currency system. How we’re going to handle the extra debt this might cause? Lol I dunno.
    The majority of French citizens as a whole agree with Le Pen’s policy on islam and immigration, this is one thing, but in everything else the NF has yet to propose credible policies.

    • Abu Al-Dente says

      Jun 10, 2017 at 7:44 am

    THE FRENCH DEEP STATE IS USING THE BIG LIE TO DEFEND ISLAM FROM CRITICISM SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO BRING MORE MUSLIMS INTO EUROPE TO DENATIONALIZE IT. THIS STRATEGY WILL LEAD TO CIVIL WAR WHEN THE MUSLIMS ARE 15-20% of the population.

    Islam has succeeded because it is a BIG LIE… the lie that murdering disbelievers is mandated by Allah. Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf: “The broad mass of a nation will more easily fall victim to a BIG LIE than a small one”.

    George Orwell, author of Politics and the English Language, wrote: “Political language … is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

    The state of the West: Throw an elderly HUMAN out of the window meets silence and perpetrator gets therapy. Throw a slice of beacon at a BUILDING causes outrage and perpetrator is fed to the wolves to be killed in prison.

    OK – lesson learned. Human life is worthless. I will cheer at any policitcian blown to pieces in the future. I you find that attitude extrem just read the first paragraph again.

    It is nazism. Nothing but nazism. Europe now allowing nazism to grow like before WW2. Especially Western Europe.
    The most developed and free countries in the world allowing the most backward teaching to grow. Disgusting.
    Must change. Can not be allowed in Europe.

  21. Ace-of-Clubs says

    Jun 10, 2017 at 2:51 pm

    Well said Alien Republican above. Bacon pinned to a mosque door is greeted with outrage and treated as a hate-crime, the perpetrator later mysteriously dies in prison, probably killed by Muslim inmates. An elderly Jewish woman murdered in her own home in Paris by a Muslim is covered up by the authorities. Two stories which just tell you where we are in Europe.
    Who really controls a society? The group or groups that we are not allowed to criticise. Thousands of white British girls were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness when the grooming and rape gangs scandal was covered up by the authorities. Had white men been abusing Muslim girls we would never have heard the end of it. Europe is dying, just as Douglas Murray contends in his great new book “The Strange Death of Europe”.

    When all of this eventually plays out the way many of us have predicted what should the punishment be? I think we will have to consult the anti muslim invasion eastern European countries on that. IMO, when that time comes the eastern countries have every right to have their armies sweep down and crush the enabling west.
