France: Media, Govt SILENT Over Muslim’s Savage Muslim Murder of Jewish Senior, local youths chanted “Death to the Jews” at memorial

34

This is a hate crime. This savage hatred and violence is central to the teachings of Islam. The media, the government, they know. Hence the silence.

The murderer recited verses from the Quran. The police were there and didn’t help her while this devout Muslim savagely beat her.

[Upon] hearing Traore yelling “Allahu Akhbar!” and “Shaitan!” (Arabic for ‘Satan’), they feared a terrorist attack was taking place, and called for backup. Anti-terror officers did not arrive until 5:00 a.m., by which time Halimi had been thrown by her attacker from the window of her third-floor apartment to the ground below.

French Jewish Anger Grows Over Savage Antisemitic Murder of Pensioner at Hands of Muslim in Paris Suburb

By Ben Cohen, Algemeiner, May 30, 2017:

As further details emerge of the brutal murder of an Orthodox Jewish woman in a Paris suburb at the hands of a Muslim assailant last month, French Jews are increasingly worried and angered by what one prominent member of the community called an “organized silence” surrounding the case.

Dr. Sarah Halimi — a 66-year-old pensioner living in the Paris suburb of Belleville — was murdered in the early hours of April 4 by Kada Traore, a 27-year-old immigrant from Mali.  After breaking into the neighboring apartment of another Malian family at 4:25 a.m. — whose terrified inhabitants locked themselves away as they heard him recite verses from the Quran — Traore jumped over the balcony and forced his way into Halimi’s apartment. As he beat the elderly lady savagely, her screams prompted neighbors to call the police.

Three officers arrived at 4:45 a.m. But on hearing Traore yelling “Allahu Akhbar!” and “Shaitan!” (Arabic for ‘Satan’), they feared a terrorist attack was taking place, and called for backup. Anti-terror officers did not arrive until 5:00 a.m., by which time Halimi had been thrown by her attacker from the window of her third-floor apartment to the ground below. Traore, reported to be a drug dealer and addict with a criminal record, then returned to the apartment of the Malian family where he resumed his prayers, and was not taken into police custody until almost 6:00 a.m.

Shock over the barbaric nature of the murder has been compounded by the reluctance of both the media and French authorities to recognize it as an antisemitic hate crime — even after a silent march of remembrance on the Sunday after the murder was met by local youths chanting “Death to the Jews” and “We Own Kalashnikovs.”

In an open letter to new French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb, Alexandra Laignel-Lavastine — a French journalist and expert on antisemitism — charged that “in the advanced decadence that reigns today in the country of (antisemitic comedian) Dieudonné, for whom ‘the Jews are dogs’ (and people laugh hysterically), it seems that a run-over dog deserves more attention than a murdered Jewish woman.”

Laignel-Lavastine also quoted William Attal, Halimi’s brother, who stated, “I have waited seven weeks before I said anything. The absolute silence about my sister’s murder has become intolerable.”

Since the murder, official and media accounts of what transpired have played up claims that Traore was suffering from mental illness, while virtually ignoring the antisemitic element of the crime.

A common theory is that the recent French election encouraged — in the phrase of Michel Gurfinkiel, a leading French political analyst and president of the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute in Paris — an “organized silence” around the Halimi murder.

“Such a story would benefit the Right and the National Front,” Gurfinkiel said. “Everyone is convinced this is why there has been such an organized silence around the story.”

A few days after the murder, Marine Le Pen — the leader of the far-right, anti-immigrant National Front — tweeted that Halimi’s fate made her want to “speak about Islamist antisemitism.” Le Pen was defeated by centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron in the second round of the presidential election on May 7.

“The Jewish community was very careful not to be suspected of siding with Marine Le Pen,” Gurfinkiel said. He also noted that state provision of security to religious buildings and institutions means that Jewish organizations are “reluctant to raise certain questions.”

But as more time passes in the wake of Halimi’s murder, the calls to recognize its antisemitic nature are growing. Interviewed by the Le Parisien newspaper last week, the lawyers for the Halimi family, Jean-Alex Buchinger and David Kaminsky, said in no uncertain terms that Sarah Halimi had been “targeted, tortured and killed by her assailant because she was Jewish.”

Halimi’s murder robbed the Jewish community in Paris of one of its most loved figures, known for her work as a doctor and as a kindergarten teacher. “She was very well known and respected, a great person,” Gurfinkiel said. “The tragedy is that she was living in that part of Paris where Jews are gradually leaving, since the security doesn’t exist anymore.”

It also brought forth reminders of the 2006 kidnapping and murder of a young French Jew, Ilan Halimi — no relation to Ruth Halimi — whose body was left for dead by a mostly-Muslim gang who seized him out of the belief that Jews were wealthy and willing to pay ransom money.

“The French police were of no help during the whole (Ilan Halimi) episode, rejecting any idea that antisemitism could have played a role in the affair and preferring to believe the absurd notion that this was the result of some war between rival gangs,” Laignel-Lavastine noted in her letter about Ruth Halimi to French Interior Minister Collomb. “Ten years later, we have reached the same point.”

Traore is currently undergoing psychiatric tests and Jewish communal leaders are impatient for more information from authorities. “The more time passes, the more the community feels that there is something you do not want to tell us,” commented Joel Mergui, head of the Consistoire — the governing body of French Jewish communities.

Left/Liberal Loons will continue to support jihadis while they continue to slaughter dumb ignorant non-muslims who vote for these cowardly leaders.

Even in America its same story of cover up of jihadi crimes where even christian Aid workers helping the jihadis get brutally slaughtered http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh

And case is sealed because its so brutal and is likely to wake up the dumb left/liberal non-muslims …..and so corrupt media also keep quiet !

“Such a story would benefit the Right and the National Front”.
The decision from the politicians – dont tell the truth to get electet.
Cover up and lies – their weapons, what a bunch of evil parasites.
Next step – censorship. Today in Austria a law is passing where “hatespeech” is fined with 1090 €.
Tomorrow German goverment will pass a law to fine “hatespeech” up to 50 mio. ( yes 50 millions ) €.
A leftie-dictatorship with the help from the EU-parlament – this is what Europäen politicians try to introduce now.

Yeah what about the elderly Jewish man assaulted in Los Angeles, CA, last week when are the authorities or the enemedia planning on covering that story? Or do they have something to hide?
I notice the enemedia in Fwance is on the ball w/this story as well — making certain to mention the perp may be a drug addict or drug dealer but not mentioning he’s a f’ing muslum

Actually by NOT mentioning the ethnic background of the murderer or the victim they tell us exactly what we need to know. The victim was a Jew and the murderer was a drug dealer. One was a doctor and the other was not. So was the doctor a drug dealer? Of course not. Who could actually believe that the murdering drug dealer was Jewish?

Montreal is home to Trudeau Jr.’s riding, of course there is a huge muslim population. Quebec is the pariah of social expenditures in Canada with a provincial debt is $185B with it receiving a large sum of the federal transfer payments. Alberta, Saskatchewan and any other province need to cede from this joke that is called Confederation. There will be no pipelines east or west as Notley and Trudeau governments have agreed to. Keystone is a start but one thru Alaska is also needed.

Good analogy. Although in this case the Fwench, and US, and United Kaliphate and Canadian authorities are deliberately ignoring the Muslum elephant in the room.

Very sad. Where is the outrage from Jewish people and organizations? There is none.

This orthodox Jewish woman was braver than all the Jews in France and around the world and Israelis that remain silent.

G-d will take revenge on the disgusting loser that killed this brave sweet woman.

May Sarah Halimi’s memory be for a blessing.

Since Le Pen lost the election, the French Jews should have had enough common sense to realize they would have to flee the country…….or be genocided.

It is obvious that western countries are openly allowing their educated, productive, tax-paying, peaceful, law-abiding citizens to be systematically “driven out” of their countries by uneducated, non-productive, welfare dependent, non-tax paying, violent criminals.

Amazingly, most French citizens cannot calculate what their future will be due to these disastrous , suicidal policies.

Many progressive Liberal Jews are betrayers of Judaism. The Rambam said every Jew who does not strive to observe the Shabat is a heathen.

Daniel Greenfield had an article awhile back about this anti-Semitic murder.
I believe he said that some Jews had gathered outside the lady’s apartment
building – where she had lived for a long time – to hold a memorial. They
were pelted with cans and verbally abused – but the authorities were
calling the killer mentally disturbed.

Are the Muslim abusers of Jews mentioned in his article and in Pamela’s
all “mentally disturbed” too?

The only solution to the Moslem problem is to fight fire with fire.
They kill a Jew, we kill a Moslem.
They attack a Synagogue, we burn a mosque.
And ignore the authorities because they are part of the problem not a solution.
To simply sit and wait to be the next victim of Islam is no longer an option.
We fight back or we perish.

The Maccabean spirit lives on in someone at least. The Maccabees never would’ve let a bunch of maladjusted troglodytes build monuments to their Jew hating death cult on top of the Temple Mount.

We have never thought differently, we know that ultimately only we can guarantee our own survival having suffered for millennia at the hands of those that hate us.
Israel is our home,our lifeboat and our future.
Only when we turn Iran to a smoking hole in the ground will the moslem world learn this.

How can this be a “hate crime” when it is not directed against “Islamophobia”? You conservatives have just got to stop using logic, facts, history, common sense, truth, and all those other things that confuse these issues!
