France is in shock at the news that three boys aged 12 to 13 have been arrested in connection with the r-pe of a 12-year-old girl, which police say was an act of antisemitic violence.

According to the victim's complaint, she was subjected to verbal abuse, including being called a "dirty Jew" by her attackers.

She reported being physically assaulted, including being kicked, slapped, and having her hair pulled.

She further alleged that she was r-ped multiple times by two of the three teenagers and that one of the three threatened to burn her.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said that the girl was “r-ped because she's Jewish."

Gabriel Attal says:

I call on all political leaders to raise barriers around the issue of antisemitism.

Enough of the rhetoric that trivialises, enough of the comments that are tolerated, that create a climate in the country that, I say, is deadly.

Unfortunately, since 7 October, antisemitism has been on the rise again in our country.

The incident is "absolutely despicable, unbearable and unspeakable".

"The surge in antisemitic incidents, up 300% compared to the first three months of 2023, should serve as a wake-up call to all French citizens.”
