PARIS (EJP)---Five youths detained after a Jewish teenager was beaten into a coma by a gang in Paris have been released without charge, AFP reported Wednesday quoting judicial officials.

The minors, aged 14 to 17, were held for questioning as witnesses following Saturday's attack in the multi-ethnic 19th district of the capital.

The Paris prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin said Tuesday the 17-year-old victim, Rudy Haddad, was beaten by a gang after street brawls between Jewish teenagers and youths of north African and sub-Saharan descent.

The boy was so badly beaten by a gang wielding metal bars that he went into a coma from which he only emerged on Monday.

According an informed source, he is slowly recovering but remains “very traumatized” and is encountering memory problems. A probe for "murder attempt aggravated by its anti-Semitic character” has been launched against the perpetrators, a group of six or seven youths of black African origin, who remain at large.

The prosecutor has confirmed the anti-Semitic character of the aggression and said anti-Semitic insults – like "dirty Jew" - were shouted during the aggression.

Sources quoted in the press reported that several brawls broke out in the area Saturday afternoon between Jewish and North Africans and black youth groups and that Haddad was attacked later on the day when he was walking alone in Rue Petit, near the Haya Mouchka Lubavitch synagogue.

CAIR has actually made it impossible for any news story to use the "M" word. And we just take it.

That would be offensive to Pollyanna Balloon heads who see neither the reality or danger of a display that says “I am a Jew to a bunch of Thugs that are looking to kill Jews”. As to your other implication, stick that!

But arming themselves is not a bad idea.

European Jewish kids need to get self-defense advice from the Sabras. In the spirit of "never again" that have developed some colorful ways of greasing Ay-rabs.

Otherwise, you should probably move to Israel. Europe is not a safe place for Jews anymore.

Here I corrected it.

Again. Of course. I stand corrected.

The French police are telling the French media that there is fighting “between” groups of Muslims and Jews. The strong implication is that both sides are equally guilty of aggressive behavior. The media eagerly swallow such garbage, rather than face Bardot-style “racism” persecutions for telling the truth. Their media is as bad as ours, which routinely characterize pogroms in which Indonesian, Nigerian, or Pakistani Christians are hunted down and murdered by Islamic mobs as sectarian fighting “between” two equally guilty groups.
