The Jew-Hating Savages of Paris
The Islam you will not see in the mainstream media
Phyllis Chesler writes about the savage beating of Rudy Haddad, an orthodox Jew in Paris, and the shocking—but not surprising—silence of the arch-liberal media.
Here are several points to consider:
1. The human monsters who committed this atrocity are Muslim.
2. But the French media and the chattering elite, voluntary Dhimmis, refer to the Muslim gangs as French youths, or African immigrants—and a variety of cowardly and clumsy, self-defeating code phrases.
3. This unprovoked attack on a single, innocent and defenseless Jew is not a civil crime, though I'm sure that's how it will be treated. The attack on Rudy Haddad is pure jihadist aggression, and these Muslims should be prosecuted as terrorists.
4. Lack of jobs, lack of education, poverty or unfortunate childhoods will, no doubt, be advanced as the “root cause” of this atrocity. This is foolishness which can lead to national suicide.
5. Jihad has nothing to do with social conditions. It's part and parcel of Islam, a Jew-hating religious ideology that encourages violence against Jews and all non-Muslims.
6. These Islamic barbarians will probably claim that they attacked Rudy Haddad because of anger over “the occupation.”
7. When Muslims speak of occupation they are speaking of the entire state of Israel, a genocidal belief, and besides...
8. Muslim atrocities against Jews go back to the time of Muhammed who ordered the slaughter of the Jews of Medina when they refused to accept Islam and recognize Muhammed as a prophet.
9. Remember: There are always good excuses for killing Jews.
10. The French and all apologists for radical Islam should take note: If Muslims kill Jews and are excused for such savagery, guess who the Muslims next murder?
11. You.
As we've frequently written: Jews are the canaries in the coal mine of civilization.
Islam lights up Paris
In January of 2006, Ilan Halimi was brutally tortured for three full weeks in Paris by gangs of African Muslim immigrant torturers. The media did not describe them as “Muslims,” but rather as “youth,” “militants,” “gang-members, “immigrants,” and “immigrants from Africa.” Neighbors took turns and joined in torturing Halimi. Other neighbors heard his screams and did nothing. Some came to watch. Halimi died on February 13, 2006. The ringleader of the gang, Youssouf Fofana fled to Ivory Coast in Africa but was extradited back to France. He and 18 others are facing a trial in his torture and murder. American expatriate journalist, Nidra Poller, has written about this horrific case.
Ilan Halimi HSY'D, 1982 - 2006
May His Neshama Have an Aliyah
Now, a visibly Jewish, kipah-wearing 17 year-old, Rudy Haddad, walking in a Jewish quarter, was set upon by 15-30 “African immigrants.” No one is saying whether they are Muslims or not. Alright, Martians from Africa beat Haddad with iron bars and fractured his skull. Haddad, like Halimi, and like their attackers, are also of African or possibly Arab descent–as was Sebastien Selam who was murdered in Paris in 2003. Haddad has just come out of a medically induced coma.
And further down:
So, where are all the anti-racists now? I hear no condemnations. The silence is chilling. And all too predictable. Where are the mainstream media? Where is FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the International Herald Tribune? (Only ABC ran a Reuters’ 190 word story earlier today). When I Googled this story, the first three pages consisted of stories filed by small bloggers and mainly by Jewish and Israeli media. (Military Photos carried a story as well). But where are The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times? For heaven’s sake: Where is Le Soir, Le Monde, and Figaro? Has France’s Channel 2 covered this?
Arguably, Channel 2 bears a great responsibility here for that is the channel that broadcast the fake murder of Mohammed al-Dura and that sued for defamation when Philippe Karsenty described the coverage as a hoax. As we all know, the French Court found that Karsenty’s criticism was not “libelous.” Charles Enderlin, of Channel 2, has vowed to appeal this decision and has gotten 300 of his journalist-buddies to form a circle of support for him.
I think that Haddad’s grieving family and the Chabad community (to which Haddad was apparently connected since he was on his way to pray at the Beth Chaya Mouchka Lubavitch synagogue), might explore a lawsuit (or at least a demonstration) against the state-owned Channel 2 and against Enderlin. If you think this is a far-fetched suggestion, please consider the other options.
Indeed, what is to be done? Do Jews world-wide, beginning in Europe, and particularly in the 19th arondissement in Paris, need Israeli Defense Forces to guard them as they walk to Parisian synagogues?

Hat Tip: seraphic Friend, David Paulin
And as Seraphic Friend Mere Rhetoric correctly states:
No responsibility is to be borne by academics or activists who froth at the mouth while screaming that shadowy cabals of Jewish bankers, journalists, and merchants are undermining the West and must be excised from decent society. Because their accusations are aimed at Zionist Jews. So that's OK.
The Fifth Annual Ariel Avrech Z'TL Memorial Lecture by Rabbi Dr. Gil S. Perl is now available.
Look at the sidebar to the right of this blog, and click the graphic directly below Ariel's picture, the video will download and play. Or you can click the Audio link and just listen to the lecture.
Karen and I are happy that we can share this special presentation with all our Seraphic Friends.

Comments
Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
The French government isn't going to do anything so it is up to French Jews to teach these guys a lesson.
If you'll forgive the crass nature of my comment they need to go out and start kicking some asses.
Without establishing some deterrence it is not going to get any better. Put some fear of the consequences of these actions and retake the streets.

I read the article about Ilan and it makes me sick to my stomach. This is no different from the pogroms in prewar Europe, where anyone could hurt/kill a jew and the world was indifferent.

"The attack on Rudy Haddad is pure jihadist aggression, and these Muslims should be persecuted as terrorists."
Are you sure that even terrorists should be persecuted, rather than prosecuted?

Danny:
Thanks so much for the correction.
I mean prosecution——preferably by a military court, as this is atrocity is part of the Salafist, Khomeinist strain of Islam's war on Western civilization.

I have met moderate muslims, however there is no such thing as moderate Islam.
The elephant in the rome is muslim immigration, we need to limit it( perhaps case by case) or cancel it altogether. The Muslims within our Country, we should deport if they follow Sharia law.

Thanks so much for the articulate comment. However, if being labeled a moderate Muslim simply means that they are not carrying out terrorist attacks, well, sorry, that's hardly acceptable or useful.
A truly moderate Muslim will raise his voice against this plague of Islamic terror and Jew-hatred. A truly moderate Muslim will protest loudly against jihad and genocidal gangs like Hamas, Hizbullah, Fatah, and the genocidal states of Iran, Gaza, Sudan and Yemen.
The moderate Muslims we hear so much about are much like all the “moderate Germans” who oozed out of the ruins once Hitler was dead and the Third Reich was blasted into ashes.
But as you know, the overwhelming Muslim community is silent, criminally silent, because in their hearts they know that violent jihad and Jew-hatred are part and parcel of Islam, inscribed in the Koran and the Haditha, and to deny these central tenets would be to deny the legitimacy of Islam.

Our imported savages feel they are on a roll right now...protected by liberal guilt,fear and emergency govt laws.They seem to think they will never be on the recieving end of a backlash...history tells a different story and as before it will be terrible to behold.I would prefer a Europe that lives in peace but both sides need to want the same out of life...something patently not possible when we are faced with Islamo fascism.

Robert,
First of all great blog.
Second have you read Serge Trifkovic article?

Your comment is not at all crass, it's refreshingly realistic.
Posted by: Robert J. Avrech at June 25, 2008 11:25 PM
Mata Hari:
You're absolutely right: it's open season on Jews because it's become acceptable to accept the legitimacy of Israel, hence all Jews and Jewish life are devalued and considered less than human.

Well said. Let me just add that we are now living in the year 1933. It will take great leadership——not Obama——and steely resolve on the part of the West to confront and annihilate the IslamoNazis.

I put Victor Davis Hanson on my show yesterday and he said America and Britain always produce heroic leaders in its worst times. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Churchill were all such men.
Hanson said it will happen again and these killers will be defeated.
I hope he's right.

Hanson said it will happen again and these killers will be defeated.
There is no other option. It has to happen.

Right, I caught the VDH interview. I'm not as certain as he seems to be.
Obama has no scruples about anything. He promises everything to everybody.
Will America wake up to his shell game?
I so hope.

Thank you, Robert.
I'm not sure when it hit me, but I have tears for what happened to the Jews of Europe. It may be from reading a biography of Kafka. All those folks -- Kafka's parents' generation -- tried so hard to assimilate into Europe. Innocent folks murdered by sorry, stupid sots.
For whatever reasons, I have ZERO tolerance for antisemitism. I am not a big fan of Islam. Period.
Count me as a friend of the Jew. And I'm willing to pay the ultimate price for that conviction.
Posted by: Irish Cicero at July 3, 2008 08:56 PM
Irish Cicero:
You have zero tolerance for Jew-hatred because it's pure evil. We are delighted to count you as a friend. We've got a big, ugly war against the jihadists and we need a united front if western civilization is to survive the Islamists and their leftist enablers.
