[waLID.]

 "Jewish power, planetary threat", "Rogue Jewish bankers", "All Jews, all socialists" ... The anti-Semitic messages found this weekend in several mailboxes in Romainville, in Seine-Saint-Denis, illustrate once again , the threat that hangs over the community on a daily basis. They are added to the long list of acts committed each year. Insults on social networks, hateful registrations, threats, attacks that can go as far as murder ... Faced with the scale of this scourge, justice acts when it is seized, but fails to contain it. Besides Romainville, another affair steeped in anti-Semitism is in the news this week. Today, the Metz criminal court is due to deliver its judgment in the so-called sign case, brandished during a demonstration against the health pass on August 7 by Cassandre Fristot. This teacher had written the names of several Jewish people on her sign, with an ambiguous slogan: “But who?”, To designate the community which, according to an old cliché, would occupy the ruling spheres

The problem exploded in the early 2000s, she analyzes. “Before, we counted around 80 acts per year. Then the number rose to 350, or one per day. It's fluctuating but structural, the numbers are not going down. " An uninhibited anti-Semitism, which sometimes leads to acts of extreme gravity. The physical assaults are numerous, sometimes including the most heinous murder. Next week will open the trial of the Mireille Knoll case, which took place in Paris in 2018. The octogenarian had been stabbed eleven times and his body partly burned by two men. The anti-Semitic nature of the crime was accepted, one of the accused having, during a discussion with the future victim, accused the Jews "of having financial means and a good situation".
