Right on the heels of the Jewish Museum massacre in Belgium, two Jewish brothers were brutally beaten outside a synagogue in a Paris suburb. It is open season on Jews in Europe:

Two Jewish men were assaulted Saturday night outside a synagogue in Créteil, a Paris suburb. TFI News, May 25, 2014

According to Paris police, the two men, who are brothers, were attacked by two other men, one of whom fled on foot and the other on a bicycle.

The two men, who were reportedly beaten with brass knuckles, suffered multiple contusions and were hospitalized and listed in serious but not life-threatening condition.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who noted the victims were “of the Jewish faith,” condemned the attack with “utmost severity” on Sunday.

On Saturday night, hours after a deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels which claimed four lives, including those of two Israeli tourists, Cazeneuve announced that he had instructed authorities to strengthen security at Jewish sites throughout France.

Cazeneuve pledged that French authorities would work to fight racism and anti-Semitism and said that police would do their best to apprehend the perpetrators.

The attack was condemned by French officials, including President François Hollande.

    Europe doesn’t need gun control, it needs Mooslim control!

    • honeybee

      Europe needs both

      • http://www.banliberals.com/ Ban Liberals

        Oops, another lib slithered in…

        Pssst, Europe already HAS gun control, which is exactly why Mooslims are OUT of control.

        Been away for a while?

      • Higlac

        Gun control ought to be cancelled: if I were living there, I’d very possibly wish to have a firearm on me.

        It’s Moslems (with rare exceptions!!) that need to be arrested, disenfranchised of any and ALL Western citizenship and expelled back to where they came from!!! [Western-born converts without Moslem lineage should be sent to Saudi Arabia or Iran depending on whether they are Sunni or Shi’a.]

  • Led Lighting

    France must just get rid of the rubbish,,they will contaminate the whole country very soon,,all muslims are terrorists and can not be trusted,,proven all over the world and now they think they can take over the world with terror attacks,,governments should say NO,NO,NO!!! MORE scum

    • Isabella1709

      Are we sure it was only Muslims? The French themselves are capable of some very terrible crimes against Jews.

      • IslamIsTyranny

        When was the last time we heard of Frenchmen committing terrorism against Jews in France? When was the last time we heard about muslimes committing terrorism against Jews in France?

        • Warren

          When is the last time we heard of cowardly muslims going only two against two when their normal pattern is usually four or five against one?

          • IslamIsTyranny

            Um, one muslime shot down a rabbi, his two sons and a Jewish girl all on the same day in Fwance.

          • Warren

            Yes, but he had a gun against unarmed people.

          • IslamIsTyranny

            I give you ten to one odds it was a f’ing muslime.

          • Higlac

            Especially as this apparently happened at night.

          • Warren

            I agree that you are probably right. I was just noting that they usually make sure that they have an overwhelming advantage when they attack. I just hope that we find out for sure soon when these jerks are apprehended.

          • IslamIsTyranny

            They did have brass knuckles, a huge advantage in hand to hand combat and exactly why they’re outlawed in the US.

      • Paul Middleton

        Sure? No we’re not sure, but it’s at the least a matter of an overwhelming statistical likelihood, not dissimilar to flight 370 in Malaysia. Very little doubt that it was Mozlems, that much…

        • Isabella1709

          I know odd’s are that it was Muslims. I have a friend from France that stopped in only a couple weeks ago and she reports most of their problems stem from Islamic immigration. I asked why they don’t stop it, and she says it is much the same as our problem with Mexicans, though they are not nearly as violent as Muslims. So it’s the 1 guy gets in and then comes the steady stream of relatives, etc. America and Europe are both being invaded by undesirables and our leadership is afraid to confront it.

          • Paul Middleton

            HERE’S THE REAL ISLAM! If you watch “The Dagestan Beheading Massacre” YT video (link) you’ll never again be in doubt that Islam is a SUPREMACIST FASCIST IDEOLOGY. Muhammad and the Koran tells Mozlems they are superior beings who ARE ENTITLED to beat, rob, behead and kill Kufr, in all times and places where they are able to do so. THIS IS ISLAM PROPER. If you doubt it, watch the video, videos don’t lie. “ALLAHU AKHBAR” ISLAM – IN ACTION.

      Remember Dreyfus. At that time there were no muslims in France, later on at Petain’s time there were no muslims in France

    I encountered one washing his feet in a sink in a highway rest area on I-80 out in Nebraska, a while back. Had his little skull cap on, rag tag beard, and everything. I told him this was America, those sinks were for faces and hands, and we don’t wash feet in them. He got a little belligerent and I thought, “Oh, goody! I’ll wipe up the floor with this mutt!” but he backed down and left. It was the wise choice on his part. When you see them doing stuff like that, you have to say something.

    • Higlac

      I know of other, non-Moslem, cultures (e.g., Serbs and perhaps Russians) also washing their feet WITH SOAP as well as water prior to bedtime. [The BIG trouble is that Moslems don’t use soap in their “washing”…] Thus, if that “man” would then wash other parts of himself… [AH, the ragtag beard, skullcap and no doubt very smelly – those are the real give-aways…]

      Just to make sure not to be so quick to attack those people who wash their feet for some good reason…

    • Tommy Guns

      Good stuff thenightwatch. You should have wiped the floor with him just for fun.

    • Paul Middleton

      Mooslimes wash their ARSES in your wc – as recommended by MuhamMAD, but you don’t see that – do you?

    • Whatsmyname2

      Who cares if they wash their feet? The problem is when they beat people up for no reason. Threatening someone for washing their feet seems like it is along the same lines.

          • Higlac

            Although Québec was the principal French colony in what’s nowadays Canada, there ARE groups of French-speakers who drifted into Ontario (e.g., Midland-Penetanguishene) as well as the Prairies. Many of those latter were half-breeds with native Amerindians, but the point remains that they were and are French-speakers (e.g., Louis Riel)!!]

          • honeybee

            Half-breeds?????

    I will never understand how Jewish people chose to settle back in Europe after WW II. Had I been one of them, there would have been only two destination: Israel and the Americas (North, Center and South. Humans are the only creatures who trip twice on the same stone.

    • Cornville

      Jews love to be victims and enjoy surrendering to the enemy whomever that may be. Right now it is the Muslims, tomorrow, who knows. Just look at the number of murderers Israel released to the Palestinian hordes. No other sane country would have done that, not one.

      • Betty4440

        oh yes they would obama let go over 3 thousand. so I guess AMERICA is no longer a sane country.

        • Cornville

          When you sober up, perhaps you can say something coherent. Right now, you are talking gibberish.

      • IslamIsTyranny

        They only released the convicted muslime murderers because n0bama strong-armed them.

        • Cornville

          Obama had nothing to do with the release of these murderers. Even before Obama was elected to be President, the Israelis were releasing known terrorists many with blood on their hands. Israelis love to play the role of being victims. It serves them best.

            I am a German, please do not disrespect the Germanic People by your evil remarks. If the so called Right, or Kach. or Herut Party gained control…wait a minute they were in control, and they still released prisoners. So what is your point, other than to insult me?

          • IslamIsTyranny

            The Kach party was disbanded and not through democratic means either.

            You seemed to have forgotten that the Germans were developing their own Atomic Bomb. Who knows, perhaps they would have used it first to incinerate the USA. Be glad that the Japs were the first to get the “juice” They were yellow to begine with.

          • IslamIsTyranny

            Germany is becoming nothing more than a province of Turkey.

          • Cornville

            Only an idiot would say that. Turkey was our ally during WW1. Turkey was neutral during WW2. The Turks are a proud people that soon will rid itself of the Muslim hordes that have taken over the Government. The Germans are the Master Race and will not become a province of any other nation, unlike the USA which is owned and controlled by the Chinese, Saudis, and the Qataris.

          • Ishmael Alharoui

            4 million Turkish in Germany, Yes, they are proud to belief Islam. Most of them secular looking but still Anti non Muslims anti- America and Israel. They don’t like you either I am sure you are part of the Kaffir world that their profit didn’t like.

          • Cornville

            We Germans have a good idea on how to rid the country of undesirable foreign elements.We are experts in that field. The Turks know this and as a result know their place in our society. Every so often a Turk gets out of line, but just as quickly, we spring into action and with batons flying, peace is rapidly ensured.

          • islamistyranny

            Only a muslime would mention Turkey as being a “proud” ally and ignore the Armenian genocide of some 2.5 million to 3 million Assyrian and Armenian Christians at the hands of the muslimes in Turkey.

      • Charles

        If they were convicted murderers, many of them child murderers, why keep them in cells at taxpayers expense? They are at war with Israel. Therefore all these thugs (enemy combatants) should have been tried by a military tribunal, given their day in court, pass sentence and execute them immediately. Incinerate the body so there will be no body to wash, and no grave to mourn.. Their families don’t deserve getting the bodies back. They support their murderous sons and defend their satanic actions.

        • Cornville

          So you agree with me. The Israelis are whiners and losers. They revel in being defeated. No other country on earth would have released known killers like the Israelis do at every opportunity. This is pure insanity. Quite frankly, the Israelis do not deserve to live in the Holy Land. The Israelis care little for their own people, so it might be best if they vacate the Holy Land and give it to the Palestinians who really want to live there.

          • Charles

            Probably most Israelis are liberals against the death penalty. As for the Palestinians, they don’t want the land, all they want is to annihilate as many Jews as possible. It’s in the Qur’an.

          • Cornville

            Most Israelis are born losers. Give back murderers, and give back their land in a quest for an elusive peace. What a bunch of nonsense.

    • Warren

      It is long past time for Jews in Europe to learn to defend themselves. If I were a Jew in France I would never leave home without my telescoping nunchucks in my pocket. They would easily beat the brass knuckles any time. If you can’t get them on the internet, they are easily made at home. I would like to read more stories here about muslim thugs getting the crap beat out of them when attacking Jews.
      Also when they fire rockets into your country, it is an act of war. Time for Israel to go “Old Testament” on those people. Relocate Palestine to Antarctica.

  • Bull Winkle

    Being “against Jews” doesn’t make it any different that the crimes that occur on others in France every day.

    • freedomwriter

      There are four differences I can think of between general crime and crime that targets particular minorities, in this case Jews.

      One is that it has the effect of terrorising the group. For example, they may now be afraid to practice their religion openly or enjoy their community activities without fear. They may even feel compelled to emigrate. So it’s controlling and manipulative as well as emotionally damaging to members of the group even if they don’t suffer an attack.

      Secondly, it can create group cultures where these crimes are legitimised and therefore become ever more prevalent.

      Thirdly, where crimes effect only minorities, the rest of the population may be slow at preventing the crimes or protecting the victims because they fail to empathise with the minority or remain indifferent to or unaware of the problem. If it effected everyone equally, this would be less likely to happen.

      Lastly, it can be divisive of society creating resentment and hatred.

      • Bull Winkle

        One: That would apply to any group, not just minorities, so , again, it’s not special. Someone may target blonds or wealthy folks, mothers or immigrants. Let’s building stories based on assumptions. We don’t know about any ‘emotional damage’ others of the group might suffer. I’m a member of a minority. When I hear of folks like me targeted in the news, I don’t take it personally, feel damaged or threaten to emigrate. That’s quite overblown and strictly assumption.

        Secondly: It “can” create group cultures? That applies to any crime – “group cultures” of criminals against any type of person. Many crimes are about types. That really sounds like overblown BS argument because a group culture doesn’t suggest that it’s legitimized.

        Thirdly: Again, all of your points are hypotheses and assumptions about what others “may” or “can” do.

        Crimes are often about resentment and hatred. In the end, targeting Jews is no different than targeting non-minorities, wealthy whites, teenagers, senior citizens, blacks. Jews don’t get a special column, especially not based on assumptions about what others may or can do.

        • freedomwriter

          When I said minorities I meant any group not just a race. So blondes or the elderly would be included. A minority can just mean numerically – and that’s what I meant.

          If you cared, you would know about emotional damage caused by living in fear. If you don’t empathise or care then you wouldn’t know. Of course Jews in France and Belgium are going to be emotionally suffering because of this. It’s obvious.

          In the case of anti-Semitism for example, a group culture might be neo-Nazis. Within their group, they legitimise the hate crimes and violence they commit. They tell each other it’s justified and even a good thing. New people joining the group become more radicalised by mixing more with only people who think as they do and it encourages and emboldens them to commit the crimes. This kind of phenomena is a fact. Another example would be groups of Islamic extremists.

          If more people were like you – and I think a lot are but not most people – that would prove my point. You don’t care because it’s not happening to you or your children and it’s not threatening them. So you rationalise it away and say: “Jews aren’t emotionally bothered by this”.

          • Bull Winkle

            If a crime happens in my community, I live in fear. That’s what happens with crime. It instills fear, and not just for minorities. As for legitimizing their crimes, that’s what all criminals do. Their reason for a crime is always legitimate to them. What you fail to understand is that I care more than you because I don’t just care about groups, I care about crimes in general. I don’t play favorites. You see, if a robbery happens next door and around the corner, I’d live in just as much fear as the criminals were targeting my race. You diminish some crimes & that’s offensive to folks who aren’t minorities. Their fear is just as valid. Minority fear is no more special.

          • freedomwriter

            You said: “We don’t know about any ‘emotional damage’ others of the group might suffer”
            This is disparaging the notion of emotional damage to a victimised group, particularly since you placed it in inverted commas. Is that disparagement just for the Jews or for anyone? You claim to care about those who are victimised by crime but are disparaging only when it’s Jews. No doubt you’ll try to wriggle out of that by saying everyone worries too much about them and you were just trying to redress the balance. But if a group is more at risk of serious crimes, then it’s natural to assume they are going to be suffering more anxiety as a result. If women were being targeted in a particular area or some other group would you have no sympathy or support for them? So why not for Jews in Europe who are targeted?

            General criminals such as burglars, muggers or rapists, do not generally meet in groups and societies and go on marches together, and listen to rousing speeches about wonderful their crimes are and how they are saving the world by their actions. They do not generally go out looking for converts and try to radicalise as many people as possible and dream of winning countries over to their ideology. There is a difference to both the main anti-Semitic movements of Nazism and radical Islam and most other types of criminals in this respect.

            Who says I only care about one group or another?? Only you, putting words into my mouth. I care about any innocent group of people who are being victimised, including Jews.

          • Bull Winkle

            No. We don’t “know” of any emotional damage. If some people of my race are targeted, I won’t suffer emotional damage. I’ll be frightened, just as I would if my neighbor was shot. Your premise of emotional damage is simply an assumption which doesn’t necessarily apply to groups. Your conclusion that I’m being disparaging is based on an opinion and a faulty premise. Similarly, you assumption about my reaction is incorrect. You’re simply arguing against a straw man you’ve created.

            If someone targets Jews where you live, and someone else is committing similar crimes in my neighborhood, we could both be frightened. It’s not any more special because the crime targets a minority.

          • freedomwriter

            Crimes that target particular groups are usually, if not always, in addition to general crime which effects everyone. Therefore it’s more likely to cause anxiety in that group regardless of the fact the others are subject to general crime. It’s a matter of statistics. They have a raised chance of crime against them compared to others.

            Regarding Jews specifically, with the holocaust only decades past, and calls for a second one surrounding them, I’m surprised by anyone thinking this wouldn’t be upsetting or worrying. But you are free to think what you like.

            One final point. Widespread anti-Semitism generally indicates a moral decline and impending war – it’s never a good sign in society. It stands to reason that when people obsess about a tiny minority (0.2%) of the world and blame the problems of the other 99.8% of the world on them, something is amiss in their logic.

          • Bull Winkle

            That makes not sense & here’s why. If I’m in fear of a lot of crime, I act and feel the same. The fear isn’t different because of proximity than it is because of race, for example. One ‘anxiety’ is no greater than the other. If someone it targeting your race where you live & someone is targeting people in my city, your chances are no higher.

            The Holocaust has nothing to do with this. In fact, The Ukraine’s Holodomor, was a man-made famine which killed 7.5 million Ukrainians. In the US, countless millions of blacks died over a much longer period than the Holocaust. The number of innocent Muslims being killed by US forces in Libya, Afghanistan & Iraq countless. Stop playing favorites with Jews. They don’t have a monopoly on suffering & crimes against them are no different that crimes against anyone else.

            One final point: Arabs and Semitic, so stop favoring Jews and co-opting the term “Semitic” just for Jews. Additionally, anti-Semitism has nothing to do with my claims that crimes against Jews aren’t any more special.

            Sorry, I’m not politically correct. I don’t bow to claims of anti-Semitism or “The Holocaust”. Besides, folks like you only resort to those tactics when their argument is flawed & they’re backed into the corner.

            So, taking it back to my original claim, being against Jews is no worse than someone terrorizing a particular neighborhood.

          • freedomwriter

            Well, I’m not going to waste any more time arguing with you because you just either ignored or misrepresented everything I said. If anyone is interested in this debate they can read my previous comments which still stand – there’s no point repeating them.

          • Bull Winkle

            I responded to everything you brought up and drew parallels, even as you expanded your argument. When you resorted to throwing around ‘Holocaust’ and ‘anti-Semitism,’ however, I knew you were way off message because using those terms is a sign of desperation. When you saw that I was not going to bow to (irrelevant) politically correct shaming, your only option was to bow out. So, I sort of expected you’d dismiss yourself.

          • Bull Winkle

            Also, you clearly would not understand my logic because, unlike me, you are not a faggot (homosexual), drug addict, communist, Satanist and pathological liar. ,You are just a straight boring mainstream idiot.

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      The law considers crime for money differently than crimes due to someones ethnicity.

      But you are too dumb to understand that.

      Are you a socialist too?

      • Bull Winkle

        Who said anything about crime for money? You set up a straw man there. If someone is going around killing folks because they live in a certain area, it’s no different than killing folks because they’re of a particular race. Whether I’m a Satanist or a socialist has no bearing on this truth.
        That’s just a distraction you’re using because of your weak argument. When people try to put words in the mouths of others, it’s because they have a weak argument. Name-calling is always a result of a losing argument. Three strikes & a straw man.

    This seems to be becoming a habit in France. That is a shame. The French are scared of their own refugees and immigrants. Is it gross incompetence or purposeful self destruction? It doesn’t seem like that hard a problem to solve for a modern nation like France if they really wanted to solve it. They could have cops stationed outside synagogues during services and after they let out . They can’t seem to control the Muslims at all there. If they are not burning police cars and villages they go beating up Jews.
    They you have the people afraid to leave their homes during the rug in the street prayer time every week. Police again do not take control. Why even have police if they let the criminals do whatever they want?
