22-year-old French woman says youths of Middle Eastern origin snatched her Star of David necklace, lifted her shirt and drew a swastika on her stomach

A 22-year-old French woman said Thursday she was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack by two youths at an underground train station in Marseille.

The youths, who the woman said were of Middle Eastern origin, snatched her Star of David necklace, then lifted her shirt and drew a swastika on her stomach before fleeing the scene.

According to the Jewish Agency, the French police have refrained from releasing the details of the incident before it was proven that the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism.

The head of the Jewish Agency delegation in France, David Roche, told Ynet that representatives of the local Jewish community would continue to follow the investigation.

“We will be in touch with the woman and provide her with all the help she needs,” he said, adding that the attack was the most severe anti-Semitic incident in France since the murder of Ilan Halimi in February 2006.

Jewish Agency Chairman Ze'ev Bielski released a statement saying that “specifically during the course of the largest display of democracy France has known in many years this barbaric act is carried out.

"We are doing our utmost so that the issue of the fight against anti-Semitism will top the agenda of the candidates for the presidency and of the candidate who is elected," he said.

It seems that everytime something is “scrawled” on someone’s body it turns out to be a hoax.

Real muslim scum would have used a knife.

Hey Western Civilization! Are you paying attention to France’s policy of appeasement?

Shouldn’t they be just about out of cars? Ban the lighter fluid! /sc

Call me cynical, but that was my first impression as well.

What is the age limit for ‘youths’? I would not be suprised if the 22 year old victim, (identified as a ‘woman’ in the article), is as young or younger than these ‘youths’.

I also find it kind of doubtful that you could even buy a Star of David in France anyway.

“French-Nazi-Government-Supported-Hate Crime”

A bit hyperbolic.

Given that this was in a train station, it was presumably on tape.

It seems that everytime something is “scrawled” on someone’s body (or car, or window, or front door)it turns out to be a hoax.

I was thinking the same thing. What sent the red flag up for me was the line:

The youths, who the woman said were of Middle Eastern origin, snatched her Star of David necklace, then lifted her shirt and drew a swastika on her stomach before fleeing the scene.

I read that and thought "The yoots just happened to be hanging around the underground with an 'El Marco' (magic marker) primed and ready?"

I don't know what the truth is here, but I suspect this gal's story isn't it. After all, there's the truth, and then there's the whole truth.

the French police have refrained from releasing the details of the incident before it was proven that the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism.

As I recall, there was an incident some months ago in which a young Jewish male was attacked, tortured and swastikas drawn on him. It took the French police about a week to postulate that it might be an anti-Semitic attack (after careful examination of the corpse, recordings made by the killers and other minor details). The French Sûreté may still be run by Clouseau.

She just stood there while they lifted her skirt and drew on her stomach?

Freaking little Sand Nazis!

Isn’t it time the French take up the practice of beating the snot out of some Muslim “yoots” just to let them know they don’t have free reign on the streets of France?

Or - have the French already surrendered their women to the Muslim bastards?

Semper Fi
