Jewish residents in Paris receive “Dirty Jews Out” hate mail
Jewish residents in Paris have received hate mail that said “Dirty Jews Out”.
The incident reportedly took place last week in the French capital’s suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis where two Jewish neighbours in the same apartment block received the same letter.
The National Vigilance Bureau for Countering Antisemitism (BNCVA), an organisation in Paris that assists the victims of antisemitic attacks, released a statement in which they implored local police to “arrest the antisemitic delinquents who want to eject the Jewish citizens of France.”
It continued: “[The Jewish residents of Seine-Saint-Denis are the] victims of fire bombings of synagogues and Jewish schools, of attacks on Jews in stadiums or in the street, in schools and universities, often in cities with a leftist or Communist leadership that ostentatiously supports the boycott of Israel, or even Islamist terrorists.” It added that many Jewish people in the area had left in recent years.
Just days before this incident, Jewish residents of Seine-Saint-Denis were subjected to having newspaper articles covered with antisemitic scrawlings posted through their letterboxes. These included racist tropes of “Jewish power” and the allegation that Jewish people use the memory of the Holocaust to further their own agenda.
