Jewish restaurant in Paris torched

By THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFF

A Jewish-owned restaurant in Paris was torched Thursday morning.

French police reported that the restaurant was totally burned.

There were no injuries.

Police have not officially stated the motives behind the torching of the restaurant or if they have any suspects, reports Israel Radio.

French authorities have repeatedly warned of the possibility that Muslims may perpetrate attacks against Jews and Jewish interests in France.

Since the start of the Palestinian uprising, French Muslims have perpetrated many attacks against Jewish interests in France, including the firebombing of synagogues.

There are between four and five million Muslims in France and about 750,000 Jews.

Hundreds of anti-Semitic incidents, some of them violent, have been documented by French Jewish leaders since the uprising began.

A Jewish school in a Paris suburb was burned down.

Jews have been physically attacked; threatening letters sent to community leaders; Stars of David scrawled on Jewish businesses, and cemeteries defaced.

All in all, some 320 anti-Semitic incidents in 2001 were documented in a report by the Paris office of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

It's time for French Jews to leave that stinkin' excuse for a country.

Most of my life I've assumed WWIII would start in the middle-east.

But lately, I've been thinking that it's going to start with these French pricks.

Libertie, egalitie....cowardice!

Well they can blame it on the Moslems, I'm not so sure since this is France. Talk about a nation whose lost it's way. Course I could be wrong. When I used to give them a little credit I could have been a total fool.

[HumanaeVitae]

This is surprising.../sarcasm

[Toidylop]

Something is not right here??? These Frogs area so tolerant, aren't they?

Oops, forgot. The French only have tolerance for Saddam!!!

If they really wanted to hurt the Jewish population, they'd torch a Chinese restaurant.

[IvanT]

Not surprised, there's a low level intifada going on in France.

"If they really wanted to hurt the Jewish population, they'd torch a Chinese restaurant."

LOL. That is so true.

[GladesGuru]

The first time is happenstance, the second time is circumstance, but after five hundred times - we have a pattern here.

To assume that the French do not know who is doing these crimes is assinine. "Le Flic" is not doing his job deliberately.

Merely the usual Froggy cozying up to their cash flow.

No Lafayette's left, it seems.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Gee, I thought the French said they were pacifists?

Maybe they're just terrorists and terrorist-supporters.

Most of my life I've assumed WWIII would start in the middle-east. But lately, I've been thinking that it's going to start with these French pricks.

I can't think of anything left in Europe that would cause the US and Russia to even care enough to have a meeting about, much less fight over.

[DoctorMichael]

Ahhhhhh, the joys of a multicultural society.

[IvanT]

I doubt it was the French that did this - it was most likely the Muslims - they're crawling with em.

[OldFriend]

France is overrun with islamic fundamentalists.....

[Sofa King]

The list of reasons not to like France just keeps on growing, doesn't it?

[Texas_Dawg]

They have been. Over 3,000 French Jews have moved to Israel in the last 12 months alone.
