Rabbi in Paris: Brutal attack with chair is shocked by the community!

Neuilly-sur-Seine, Frankreich - A rabbi was attacked on June 6, 2025 in a suburb of Paris on the terrace of a café. He suffered injuries to the head through a chair that a 28-year-old man hurled out of the Gaza Strip. The alleged perpetrator carried a Koran and was initially taken into police custody after his arrest. After a psychiatric examination, he came to a clinic. The mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Jean-Christophe Fromatin, confirmed that the rabbi was taken to the hospital after the attack, where his injuries were treated.

The suspect is a Palestinian with residence papers from Germany, which apparently has tolerance and was unarmed. The investigation is directed against him for a serious act of violence for religious reasons. This is already the second attack on the rabbi within a week. In a previous incident, he was attacked and seriously injured by three alcoholic men in the northern French city of Deauville. The rabbi commented that he was painful to have been attacked because of his Jewish identity. He emphasized that religion should never be a reason for violence.

political reactions and social context

The incident has caused sharp reactions. The French Prime Minister François Bayrou condemned the attack and said that the "external appearance" of the rabbi was perceived as a trigger for "aggression" and "hate". The Jewish umbrella organization CRIF described the incident as a "anti -Semitic attack". According to the French Ministry of the Interior, 1,570 anti -Semitic acts were recorded last year, which illustrates the worrying situation.

anti -Semitism is a global problem that is expressed in many forms. A study by the Federal Statistical Office shows that anti -Semitic incidents in Germany in 2022 are increasing strongly due to the conflict between Hamas and Israel. At that time, over 2,600 anti -Semitic offenses were documented. Despite the Holocaust, social attitudes to anti -Semitism are still present in parts of the German society 70 years later. There is a distinction between different forms of anti -Semitism, including structural, secondary and Israel -related anti -Semitism, which illustrates the complexity of the problem.

The number of Jews in Germany drops, while at the same time anti -Semitic prejudices and attacks increase. According to the SEHA definition, anti-Semitism describes the perception of Jews who can manifest itself in hate. Accidents not only happen in public, but also take place in social networks and educational institutions. The incident in Paris exemplifies the persistent danger that Jewish people are exposed to in Europe.

The attack on the rabbi in Paris is an alarming sign that underlines the urgent need for a determined approach to anti -Semitism in Europe.
