An antisemitic incident took place at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle International Airport, where a woman verbally attacked a Haredi Jewish man holding a Torah scroll, triggering a loud confrontation in a public area of the terminal.
Footage from the incident, which was filmed at the airport and circulated on social media, shows the woman repeatedly shouting at the man, “Don’t touch me, leave France, I am Muslim.” It is not yet clear when the incident occurred.

In the video, one man is seen confronting the woman, while another attempts to separate the two after the exchange appeared close to turning physical.
The woman can be heard shouting, “You are Jewish, don’t touch me,” before spitting toward the man as he stood holding the Torah scroll inside the airport.
The footage was shared on X by Israeli activist Hen Mazzig, who campaigns internationally against the BDS movement and works to counter anti-Israel misinformation.
“Spitting on a Jewish man carrying a Torah scroll is not random aggression. It is deliberate humiliation,” Mazzig wrote. “It is an attack on faith, identity and presence. A man carrying a Torah should be able to pass through an airport without being degraded. The fact that this even needs to be said shows exactly where we are.”
