It is encouraging that a protest was organized and that it drew 20,000 people to the streets of Paris. Although the leftist politicians tried to appear thoughtful and concerned, they were booed at, signifying that the protesters have had enough of their lip service.
The decision of the French court to uphold the decision not to try the Muslim who murdered a Jewish woman because he was high on marijuana at the time does not sit well with the French public. Nor should it. Kobili Traoré was screaming “Allahu akbar” and antisemitic slogans as he beat Sarah Halimi and then threw her out the window. Still, he got off for the astonishing reason that he was high.
Meanwhile, Islamic antisemitism has risen to disturbing levels in France.
Now the crisis of Islamization that France faces is increasingly obvious, and has prompted 25 retired French generals to warn of an impending “civil war” if the country does not protect its “civilizational values.”
“Left-Wing Politicians Jeered at Rally For Murdered Jewish Woman,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 27, 2021:
Former French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner was booed at a rally in support of murdered Jewish woman Sarah Halimi, whose alleged killer was not charged due to his heavy marijuana use.
An estimated 20,000 people took to the streets of Paris on Sunday to protest the lack of a trial for the man who allegedly murdered 65-year-old Sarah Halimi in 2017, it is claimed, by pushing her out of the window of her Paris apartment while shouting “Allahu Akbar”.
Several protests in support of Halimi were held in other cities in France, such as Montpellier, according to a report by the French weekly magazine L’Obs. Protests were also held in Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner, a leading member of Emmanuel Macron’s La République En Marche! (LREM), also attended the rally and was reportedly booed by participants, according to a Tweet from French journalist Remy Buisine.
The protest came after Paris’s top court ruled that Kobili Traoré, Halimi’s alleged killer, would not face trial in connection with the murder, upholding previous court rulings that had determined Traoré’s excessive marijuana use had triggered a “delirious episode” and he was not criminally responsible.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced that a street in the city would be named after Halimi. President of Licra (the International League against Racism and Antisemitism) Mario Stasi had reportedly asked for a street to be named after Halimi following the top court ruling.
Mayor Hidalgo called for a trial in the case of Halimi and said during the Paris protest: “Antisemitism is a plague. It is a scourge that undermines the foundations of our Republic.”
French alternative news blog FDesouche claims Hidalgo was also booed at the rally, citing social media video recorded at the scene….

Summary : “Smoke weed: then kill a Jew. Walk scot-free”
Now Muslims know they will not be as severely punished … or even punished at all. Muslims see there is a two-tier system of justice.
Light-headed Western Leftards in there thoughtless eagerness to appear broad-minded have created exemptions to Muslims who commit criminal acts with forethought.
This Muslim murderer Kobili Traoré killed Sarah Halimi as an act of JIHAD !
Michael Copeland says
The killer was so “delirious” and “not criminally responsible” that he gained entry to Halimi’s apartment by intimidating her neighbour to let him into that neighbour’s apartment where he clambered over the balcony on to Halimi’s balcony. He also shouted “Allahu Ackbar!”.
Irresponsibility?
Or careful malice aforethought?
The French Court’s decision is a disgrace. Halimi’s family are apparently taking this to the European Court.

Did anyone force Kobili Traoré to smoke marijuana before committing the murder? Does a drunk driver who kills someone get off the charge because he was drunk? No! If you’ve been drinking or drugging, you are responsible for your actions. And what evidence is there that Kobili Traoré would not have committed the murder if he had been stone, cold sober?
Murdering clown!

The sign in the picture above says, ‘SARAH HALIMI, MURDERED FOR BEING JEWISH’.

Yes–thanks for the translation, Mortimer.

Things need to be made uglier for Leftist trolls like Christophe Castaner, who use such occasions to try and virtue-signal their sympathies w/ the Jews. Mere boos are not enough: they need to be treated exactly as they would be if they were to enter a muslim no-go zone in Paris. Once they are faced w/ 2 equally menacing threats from opposite ends, they will be forced to go where their real loyalties lie
Jerry says
Had I been about sixty years younger I would have offered to accept a simple deal. Give me some weed and the address of the murderer of Sarah Halimi.
I would have, probably, not eve killed him.
I would have facilitated his qualifying to sing Counter Tenor, drive a manual wheelchair and undergo a crash course in Braille.
Christopher Watson says
Have these ‘judges’ actually thought through their not-too-bright decision? They have given the excuse of a get-out-of-jail-free card for any act of violence by a vicious criminal. Any Tom, Dick or Alphonse who murders or attempts to murder anyone can now claim to be under the influence of drugs. Any defense lawyer will be rubbing his hands in glee; these judges have just made his job a hundred times easier. And made Marine Le Pen’s job a little easier too.

France: Protesters jeer at leftist politicians at rally for Jewish woman murdered by Muslim who won’t be prosecuted
…………………..
Like Christine Douglass-Williams, I’m glad to see that this rally in Paris–and some in other cities–happened at all. And 20,000 is a *very* impressive number.

To quote French-Israeli lawyer, Gilles William Goldnadel: … by a jdecision of the Court of Appeal of Versailles of February 13, 2018 – confirmed by the Court of Cassation – the Investigation Chamber of this Court, under exactly the same conditions of fact and of law that in the Traoré case, ruled that: “The significant consumption of narcotics should not be analyzed as a cause of abolition of discernment but on the contrary as an aggravating circumstance

For some years now , the left wing politicians and media has tarnished the image of Jews in the west and acted as enablers of Jihadists , But now I think the tide is turning . People have woken up .Thanks to people like Spencer and many others ,it is hard to fool the masses in this day of Internet . Jihadi’s will start receiving what is due to them as well as the left wing media,politicians and other establishment organizations .
