A 70-year-old Jewish woman in Paris has attacked by a man who called her a “dirty Jew”. The woman, who runs a kosher soup kitchen, is pressing charges against her attacker, who she described as a 30-year-old man of North African origin. Sammy Ghozlan, president of the National Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, said that a wave of anti-Semitic attacks following the recent torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man, has terrified the Jewish community. The situation “demands that we put our government officials on the alert so that the panic does not get any worse,” he told JTA.
