The word Juden (Jews in German) was tagged on the window of a franchise of Bagelstein in Paris, a reminiscence of anti-Semitic inscriptions targeting Jewish businesses during the so-called Night of Cristal (Kristallnacht) in 1938 in Nazi Germany.
CRIF, the umbrella representative group of Jewish institutions in France, shared the picture on twitter. Indignation and anger after the discovery yesterday of a vile anti-Semitic tag on the shop window of a Bagelstein shop. An act that recalls the darkest hours of history, the group wrote.
A member of the French Parliament for the ruling La République en Marche party, Elise Fajgeles called the tag unbearable and made the connection with the yellow vests anti-government protest movement which was marked by several antisemitic incidents.

They also seem unfriendly to Jews. Mr. Lévy tells me protesters have made an arm gesture called the quenelle, invented by a comedian named Dieudonné Mbala Mbala, that is widely understood to be anti-Semitic. They have also chanted the word Rothschild, again and again, as an obsession. No doubt that is a way of anathemizing Mr. Macron, who worked for Rothschild & Cie Banque a decade agobut it is also part of the French lefts anti-Semitic argot. French socialism, when it was born 130 years ago, had two wings, Mr. Lévy says. One of them, led by Jules Guesde and known as the Intransigents, was really anti-Semitic. There was this idea, in this half of the party, that the embodiment of capitalism was the Rothschild Bank, and Rothschild was a nickname for the Jews. And this tradition continues, still, today.

(53,936 posts)It is only a matter of time before we see a "Kristallnacht" 2.0 in France, or the UK, though, I would guess Hungary and Italy might happen first. Thought, Germany might see it again, so might we. While it won't be an action of the government primarily, it will likely be "ignored" or explained away.
