Let's hope that Elie Dahan will get better soon and that the man will be arrested.Everyone must fermly condemn this act of violence .Anti-Semitism will not be tolerated.

Dave ,   Herzliya   (04.20.07)
I'm sure a visibly Jewish man (a rabbi) was just attacked with unclear motivations. THE MOTIVATION WAS ANTI-SEMITISM, it couldn't be more clear. Do you see how they justify the attack to frustrations over the mid-east conflict?
4. Rabbi attacked
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (04.20.07)
We are not sure what the nature of the attack was ???? What does this cretin think it was ? A demonstration of the love for divesity, of course.

6. are you sure
jack bauer ,   Superpower   (04.20.07)
that if it was a man from north africa or the middle east that it can be called anti-semitic? If he indeed came from abraham as well? Wouldnt it just be called a crime commited because of hate rather then anti semitic? mind you have a look at these french govt policies... http://i.ville.gouv.fr/divbib/doc/chercherZUS.htm

places in paris. if a jew isn't safe there, he isn't safe anywhere in france.
8. It must have been those carzy "YOUTHS" again.
Fwance ,   Dictionay   (04.20.07)
"YOUTHS": or "Jeunesses" in French. definition: The media's way of referring to Muslim rioters and hooligans in France so as not to offend the Muslim community in anyway so that they will continue to attack Jews.
9. "La doulce France" exists no longer!
Isaac Haskiya ,   Roskilde - Denmark   (04.20.07)
It is time to leave, dear friends. Il est temps de partir, chers amis! In Israel you can defend your lives with your own hands and your own weapons.

France refuses to protect you properly. Its media demonizes Israel and exalts the terrorists. It is rapidly surrendering to the growing Islamofascism in its midst. France does not deserve your presence. Thousands of you have already made aliya to Israel. I pray that the rest of you follow them, to enrich the Jewish state with your welcome arrival. Leave the anti-Jewish French with their beloved adopted Islamofascists who will soon dominate that country. Maintenant c'est l'heure juste pour votre retour chez vous!

Pity about your spelling. However, the depth of wonderful and insightful information in your posting is a boon to us all. Have you considered writing a travel book based on the wealth of your personal experience?

15. sorry if I wasnt clear
jack bauer ,   superpower#1   (04.20.07)
in my post above...you can paste the url into your address bar. if you do you will se a list of "no go" areas all around france. These are all off limits to french authorities and police. They are areas where they are thinking about installing sharia...so in my humble opinion one should not feel safe there....Can you imagine enclaves not controlled by the state in the hearts of france? hundreds? the french govt. will fall soon if they ae not carefull
16. You are wrong
Patrick ,   Hamilton, Canada   (04.20.07)
That time, the antisemitic youth was from the West Indies. That new kind of antisemitism has been made popular by a so-called humourist named Dieudonne. So, there are now three kinds of racism in France : from far-right activists, from young muslims and from African background people.
17. france
PatriotUSA ,   Redmond, Ore USA   (04.20.07)
france is already lost with more of Europe to follow to the swarms of islam, and sharia law's infiltration. England is next, if it is not already lost in my most humble opinion. I did not capitalize certain words as I have very little respet for that country or that cult which goes around calling itself a religion.
18. More drunk&more confused=more they unconfusedly attack Jews

19. pauvre france !!
dovdevan ,   ashdod , israel   (04.20.07)
power and media have surrendured to the islamo fascist in france because they think that if they sacrifie israel they will save their ass !! it's the same thinking that is growing now in uk they try to justifie the terrorist attack against israel thinking that they will be out of target
20. can't wait
kutuzov ,   new york   (04.21.07)
can't wait for france to become a muslim nation. The French retards will finally find out what everyone already knows... Go on frenchies... keep ignoring the obvious. One day you'll wake up and there will be more than just cars burning. Can't wait. Oh and the rest of eurabia might want to take a good look too. France's fate seems sealed....not sure about the rest of eurabia. Wake up my little eurabs before its to late. -k-

22. why
nana ,   jerusalem   (04.21.07)
you must aske the murderer to know why // may be for rubbery /or becouse of the rabigave him an anger look /or the man is pshycopathy /or there is a problem between the rabi and somebody want to injure the rabi ... or may be becouse he is a jew and the man is a hater // so antisimitism is one cause like many causes ..but sure nowadays there is less forgivness between the people .they injured each other for a reason of their anger // the law must be more forced against any crime /and sure there is a cause but sure any cause is not more of loosing the forgivness and loosing the forced law against the crimes .whatever te nationality of both the victim or the murderer
23. What is the French jewish community doing?
Laurent ,   Tel aviv   (04.22.07)
This kind of news really offends me as I am French, proud of my country and I do not think it demonstrates what the 60 million French citizens are like. I will not comment on the cowardise of this incident which tells a lot about who commited it. I am just wondering what the French jewish community is waiting for to react stronger? We all know what happens as soon as something like that happens to a muslim-French: the whole community and the associations are in the streets, lawyers monopolize the media and, at worst, cars start to burn in the suburbs... One question: why is the jewish community in France (that includes so many highly ranked and respected artists, politicians and business men, philosophers, scientists, etc...) does make any noise about it? From a person like me that is not connected to the jewish community in France (only in Israel), it looks like no-one never dares to protest or to ask for repare. Enough is enough! The French jewish community needs to start to do a better Public Relation work in order to be respected by the mass...Unfortunately, this is the French way (a bit like in Israel), if you don't shout, no-one cares! Thanks for your article. L
