Opdatering 15.7: Ved en søgning på Infomedia ser jeg at denne historie ikke er nævt med ét ord i dansk presse. Demonstrationen nær synagogen hvorfra angrebet kom. Synagogen ligger centralt i Paris 600 meter fra Bastillepladsen, tre kilometer fra Elysée Palæet. Heldigvis har Hollande, Valls og Hidalgo fordømt angrebet, der ved et rent tilfælde ikke kostede menneskeliv. Hundreder af jøder var spærret ind i synagogen næsten uden beskyttelse.
Europa har fået en hurtigelevator ned i mørket. Skal Israel ind i Gaza og afvæbne Hamas, så de kan få tre års nogenlunde fred endnu, er vi kun ved indgangen til tunnelen. Også for Europas jøder, der nu må være klar over, at deres overlevelse til en vis grad afhænger af dem selv. Drab, overfald og terroranslag har demonstreret, at Europas stater ikke kan. Ingen politikerlyrik kan skjule det, ej heller hvilke politikere der har bragt dem i denne situation. (Posten bliver evt. opdateret i løbet af dagen)
Dozens of young men protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza briefly besieged a Paris synagogue and clashed with security. At least three Jews were taken to hospital as a result of the clashes the erupted on Sunday between the protesters and young Jewish men who guarded the Synagogue de la Roquette in Paris.
“They were determined to enter and the police did not have enough forces,” he said. According to Azria, the mob was kept away by men from the SPCJ Jewish security unit, the Jewish Defense League and Beitar, who engaged the attackers in what turned into a street brawl. “Thank God they were there because the protesters had murder on their minds and it took a while before police reinforcements arrived,” Azria added.

Ben Haim stressed that the pro-Palestinians were armed, unlike the Jewish youths. “The Palestinians had rocks, glass, axes, knives… they were armed and I made sure that no one would leave the synagogue in order to protect the lives of our people.”
Police lost control over the pro-Palestinian riot, he added. “The event lasted over three hours. Security forces accompanied the pro-Palestinian’s demonstration; they thought they had things under control, but the groups there dispersed and one of them got away and reached the synagogue. They started to bring [police] forces from all directions but that did not prevent the initial contact [between pro-Palestinians and Jews].”
“On our side there are five lightly injured, three of them from being struck by the French police,” he summed up. “We skirted a true catastrophe yesterday.The assailants, described by reports as being of North African descent, approached the Jewish students from two directions in the library, pouncing on them and beating them until they were bloody.

Allahu Akhbar – kampråb i Rue de la Roquette à Paris
Rue de la Roquette fører fra Bastillepladsen hen til synagogen. Man ser omfattende hærværk. På Boulevard Voltaire blev jødiskejede butikker angrebet under råb som “vi slår jer ihjel.” På Gare du Nord og flere andre steder, kunne jøder ikke vise sig udendørs.
