Would Neil Frias have been violently arrested if he had been taking a selfie with the “Palestinian” flag? What do you think?
“Jewish NYC resident violently arrested after taking selfie with Israeli flag outside Olympic stadium: complaint,” by Matthew Sedacca, New York Post, August 10, 2024:
French National Police violently arrested a Hell’s Kitchen man after he tried to take a photo with an Israeli flag outside an Olympic venue, the wounded tourist told The Post.
Neil Frias, who is Jewish, was posing for a selfie with the Israeli flag outside the Olympic Aquatics Center in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis when a trio of cops began interrogating him and asked if he was “inciting a riot, or a protest,” he recalled.
The officers demanded to know why he was taking a picture, according to a complaint made to the Inspector General of the National Police about the July 30 incident.
The cops seized Frias’ phone and “tried to rip” his flag, according to the complaint.
Frias, 35, was sent on his way after the cops verified his passport and saw he had a ticket to attend the France-Japan water polo match that afternoon.
Roughly 15 minutes later, however, as Frias stood in line at the facility’s main entrance to have his ticket scanned, a different group of five cops suddenly tackled him, he recalled….
SC says
Clearly France hates Jews. Time for the jews to shut their government down with anti semitism lawsuits.
James Lincoln says
Yes, SC.
That would be justifiable lawfare.
Condor says
Now we know how France managed to control its Muslim Dogs during this Olympics!
RJ Katz says
The French are cowards and anti-Semites. De Gaulle was the worst of them
Gregory says
Well in two world wars France could not defend itself.
bill says
quite incorrect
Noah Andeark says
You misspelled “spot on”.
Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris?
It’s a trick question as it’s never been tried.

France’s version of Gestapo. Or, muttawa (shariah police)

A few days ago, Hugh was discussing whether French Jews should make Aliya, or remain in France to fight on. Given examples like this, today’s France is Vichy France, so there ain’t a rational reason for them to remain there. They should move to either Israel or the US, while they can

So true.
Moi says
Wrong link “cops began interrogating him”…
gravenimage says
Fixed, Moi. That there were two stories on the same day of Jews from New York being violently harrassed is very tellling, though…
Pray Hard says
The French are islamocommunists, just like the rest of Western Europe. But Jimmy Fallon and Macron are now good butt buddies, so it’s OK.

“…. a different group of five cops suddenly tackled him, he recalled….”
Strange journalism, the end omits the rest of story and the links are defective.
OLD GUY says
How can you be arrested for displaying a countries flag at the Olympics, I thought that was what the Olympics were about, Countries competing in sports for the pride of their country.
Never ever hold the Olympic’s in France again.
gravenimage says
Spot on, OLD GUY. One would expect to find flags from all over the world at the Olympics, both officially and from fans.

Black Robed Patriot says

What vicious insanity is this? This man presented no danger, and Israel is a regocnized country. Would they haqve done the same if he had posed with an Iranian or “Palestinian” flag? Let’s just say I really doubt it.
The US embassy *should* complain about the appalling treatment of their citizen Neil Frias, but probably will not.
