Something Useless from France
Or, how Paris is like New York.
On Sunday, July 11th, Muslim thugs attacked a woman with an infant in a Paris subway. Thinking she was Jewish, they cut her hair, threw her to the ground, and in front of French passengers scrawled a swastika on her belly. The passengers stood by and watched — and did nothing. This incident follows others of similar nature when, for example, just a few weeks ago a 14-year-old boy wearing a yarmulka came out of the Ourq subway station in Paris and was attacked by two Muslims. While yelling at him "dirty Jew," they knocked him down, beat him on the head and broke his nose. The boy begged for help from the French passers-by — fellow citizens — but they simply walked away, did nothing.
At the University Medical School of Saint-Antoine in Paris, four young Muslim men entered a lecture hall yelling "Death to the Jews." They confronted a Jewish student and beat him to a pulp and, like vultures, picked his valuables and robbed him. The lecturing professor said nothing while watching the attack and the entire class of French students remained silent while the thugs simply departed without a care. This, too, happened within the last few months.
