PARIS — Two suspects have been given preliminary charges of murder with anti-Semitic motives over the death of an elderly Jewish woman, a French judicial official said Tuesday.

The two men have been jailed, the official said. He was speaking anonymously to discuss the ongoing investigation.

Leading Jewish group CRIF said 85-year-old Mireille Knoll was slain last week in Paris’ eastern 11th district. She had been stabbed several times and her apartment set on fire.

Knoll had reportedly escaped a notorious World War II round-up in Paris of Jews, who were then shipped to Auschwitz.

3. Once again, fear of a Jew for NO reason whatsoever. These people are trash.

Rarely, if ever, have Jews ever demanded a society change the way it operates to accommodate THEM.

7. Not fear but hatred

4. I wish I could say I was surprised

Outraged? Disgusted? Absolutely. Not even a little bit surprised. May her memory be a blessing.

5. It is so very depressing

And, I agree, sadly not surprising.

[leftynyc]

6. She escaped the nazis

only to die at the hands of Jew haters so many years later. It just doesn't end.

8. Shhhh...don't state the obvious who did this.

Amazing that we can't say who does the vast majority of these heinous crimes against French Jews.

9. I couldn't read the OP link - it wanted money.

Did the link mention who did it?

12. How is the Washington Post supposed to stay in business if no one subscribes?

It's not even 50 cents a day for unlimited access to all their content.

10. From RT.

Not the greatest source but...


The man, identified as Kada Traore, shouted religious slogans while murdering the woman.

13. The Daily Mail

Confirmed the attackers were Muslim and shouted Islamist slogans.

One, in fact, had been the recipient of charity from the victim for 10 years.

14. Muslim attacker, shouting Islamist crap. Wont get much play here either.

A certain type offender and different victim would get 400 responses.
Even on a progressive site Jews cant get equal treatment from some.

My stalker should be along to shout me down with inane nonsense momentarily....

16. Unfortunately you are right.

Just imagine the furor if the victim was Muslim, and the attacker a Christian.

15. Every community has a blind spot;

sadly ours is down to willful ignorance.

17. Anti-Semitic attacks have been increasing in Europe for years.

One of my few dislikes of DU is that the reason really cannot be discussed here.

I am a freethinker and am more than welcome to condemn Christians for their often horrible beliefs and actions. That freedom does not extend to other religions.

19. Just for info
