Five men surrounded him.
They threw him to the ground.
They punched him in the face and beat him.
He held his kippa in his hands.They pressed a knife to his neck.

A 13-year-old Jewish boy was traveling from his home in Paris to a synagogue in the center of the city. He was wearing a kippah, which in a country now bedeviled with antisemitic violence is a brave assertion of Jewish identity. Of course, the attackers “came not single spies, but in battalions” — to wit, five thugs who attacked, punched, robbed, and held a knife to the throat of one frightened Jewish boy.
There is no information on the attackers, but there are clues. They held a knife to his neck, as per the Qur’an’s instruction to strike the necks of the unbelievers (47:4). They called him a “dirty Jew,” in line with the Qur’an’s designation of unbelievers as unclean (9:28). Neither point is conclusive, of course, but France is now teeming with Muslims who have taken to heart the Qur’an’s statement that the Jews are the “most vehement in hostility” of all people to the Muslims (5:82), and have been enflamed by the relentless antisemitic propaganda that has inundated the world since October 7, 2023.
More on this latest attack, which like most antisemitic attacks in Europe these days is met by Jews with horror, and by the general public with a ho-hum of indifference, can be found here: “Jewish boy tripped, punched, held at knifepoint on way to Paris synagogue,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, February 11, 2026:
A 13-year-old Jewish teen was tripped, punched, and had a knife held to his throat on his way to a synagogue in central Paris on Monday, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
The boy was wearing a kippah. He reported that he was walking to the synagogue when five people attacked him, took his jacket, and ordered him to empty his pockets. He said he was tripped, punched in the face, and had a knife held to his throat before his AirPods were stolen. The victim stated that his attackers made antisemitic remarks.
The boy was on a video call when the attack happened, and the person on the other end of the call was able to provide identifying details on one of the assailants.
An 18-year-old man was arrested by the police of the 18th arrondissement and is being detained.
The prosecutor’s office said it is investigating offenses of armed robbery and armed violence committed in a group and aggravated by discrimination….
Imagine the fear that has now been instilled in the young boy. He won’t be wearing his kippah in public for many years to come. He wonders if the police, having charged one of his attackers, will be able to locate and charge the remaining four, or will he have to be looking over his shoulder from now on out of fear of some kind of retaliatory attack from those four, or from others angry that a Jew, or a “yahud,” would cause trouble for their friends. You don’t forget an attack like that, when five people surround you, punch and rob you, and one of them puts a knife to your throat.

The french have zero compulsion to “solve” this case. Nothing to see here, move along infidels.

And no people stand up to what was done to this young child. The perps will be emboldened and will continue until they murder some Jew just walking to synagogue.
This story from ME turned out differently
“Maine high school suspends 19 students who stood up to alleged bully targeting autistic student”
According to the account, several students actually *witnessed* the kid being bullied and the next day, one of those students confronted the bully. But, the school staff claimed the bullying was only “a rumor.”
The school staff said that they alleged bullying should have been reported. My guess: it had been reported and nothing was done by the school staff.

are the authorities looking for a motive ?

I have noticed that muslimes always attack as a group, as a gang of cowards, as it always takes at least five against one wee boy alone which shows how they are all such low life cowards, never one on one because they are all girly boys trying to hide their homosexual feelings from all their low life buddies.
DEPORTER says
Hugh, i respect the work you and Robert do on this website, but never take sides with a twitter account “combat anti-semitism”
These are the same people that cry about “racism” all day long and perpetually attack white people.
We dont need to side with scum. Heres a sample for their website
‘Zionism Is in the Quran’: Anila Ali on Why Standing With Israel Is a Muslim Imperative
‘We as Muslims Cannot Be Against Jews’: Sheikh Mahammad Mehdizade on Challenging Islamic Radicalism and Combating Antisemitism in Europe
So these people will not tell the truth about islam or the quran.
Not our ally

You may be right–thanks for the heads up. But this post was used as a news source–this does not necessarily mean that Jihad Watch agrees with them on all points.
OLD GUY says
The difference between these boys and a street gang is they are trained by their leaders “Imam” in their mosque to hate jews and non-islamic people., and that Allah will bless them for doing this. They are probably being celebrated as heroes in their mosque.
Jon Dough says
I do not intend to be nitpicking, but I disagree with your use of the work “teeming” (“France is now teeming with Muslims”). It is accurate, of course, but I think a more precise word would be “teaming”…
gravenimage says
Jon, “teeming” means “swarming with”. That is indeed the meaning here. “Teaming” just means working together.
