In other words, they arrested the police officer who saved the Jews.
What a silly question, Jacques -- why we shoot the Jews, of course!
Brave and honorable are the French.
More details:
"About 100 PSG fans gathered to chase one Tel Aviv supporter, the prosecutor said, at which point Mr Granomort, who is black, tried to intervene.
"Witnesses said the crowd hurled racist insults at him, while making Nazi salutes and shouting anti-Jewish abuse at the man he was trying to protect.
"According to the French authorities, Mr Granomort was physically attacked as he shouted that he was a police officer and pulled out his gun.
"Fans interviewed on French radio said he had appeared to fire two shots in panic, as he was pushed to the ground.
"He then sought refuge in a McDonald's restaurant with the man he had been trying to defend, while police reinforcements were brought in to restore calm.
I would suppose that drinking was also involved.....

Initial reports indicated that the attacked fans were Israelis who came to France to support the Israeli team. It turned out, though, that the attacked fans were local French Jews who came out in support of the Israeli team. Israeli fans were actually kept in the stadium for more than an hour after the game to prevent them from becoming targets of the angry mob, after they insisted on coming onto the field to celebrate the victory.
Not the first time the French have "detained" Jews in a sports stadium. A shame they destroyed the Velodrome d'Hiver after the war, it would have been a fitting venue.

The article never says how many of these French fans were Muslims, and how many were French. I'm not whether there's much difference, when it comes to antisemitism. The French of an earlier generation gladly helped the Nazis round up Jews and sent them to the death camps. Now they are back to their old tricks.
Anyone who cooperates with grave evil is guilty of grave evil. That applies to France, I'm sorry to say. It now seems to apply from the top down: to Chirac, a great pal of Saddam Hussein who helped arm him and provide him with nuclear facilities, down to these soccer fans who think it's chic to imitate Nazis.
French, Muslims, Nazis... where the hell is the difference?
The spirit of Vichy is out in the open - again.
My guess is this was Muslim mob with a few white Frenchmen. That's who ganged up on the Jews
I dunno, but Id be a tad pissed if people who are ostensibly from my country come out to support a foreign team because of their religion!
If they dont like france, they can always move to israel.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
