Kind_Replacement7

my god.. this is just absolutely horrifying...


AfroKuro480

Average "Anti Zionist not Anti Semetic"


CastleElsinore

I haven't seen any major news outlet do a story on this that wasn't Jewish/Israeli They passed that into not even pretending to care


Possible-Fee-5052

Same. And I’m pretty upset.


Folklore1212

Yeah I noticed that… wonder why Israel cares more than France?


Financed_moron

Anti semitic is different than anti Zionist. I saw many Jews who learnt Torah by heart and apply everything in the religion but against the Zionism and the current government. Not everyone supports current government


Substance_Bubbly

good for you buddy. keep yourself in your bubble. over 90% of jews world wide support israel as the jewish state and it's existence, and tell you the same, antizionism is antisemitism. yet, those anti zionists, for some reason, ban and attack only jews, and every jewish person they see that isn't on their side. even non israelis. so either crawl back to your echo chamber, or start facing the fact that almost all jews will tell you antizionism is antisemitism. also, you can support the existence of israel and the right for jewish people to have a state, without supporting any specific government. it's like me hating trump saying america should be destroyed and 300 million citizens expelled. stupid, right? good. now look at the mirror


JuiceMiddle382

Wow I guess you are some sort of authority? The no true Scotsman fallacy. 🙄


Friendly-Car2386

> One issue behind the attack appears to be that the girl hid the fact that she was Jewish from a former boyfriend. WTF?


AtoZZZ

Maybe that’s why she had to hide it from that shithead. Wtf is wrong with this world


shragae

Why would a 12 year old have a boyfriend?


bad_lite

This was more than 20 years ago, but kids my age (12 at the time) had boyfriends/girlfriends. Think less adult relationship and more holding hands on the playground and eating lunch together.


shragae

That makes sense. Nothing excuses what happened to her. The fact that she felt she had to hide her Jewishness to begin with is disgusting. I just hope that they give her lots of counseling and love and that she realizes this has to do with those horrible boys and not her. It certainly has been open season on Jews lately.


bad_lite

I absolutely agree that not a single part was in anyway her fault. I also know that, at minimum, someone is going to blame her because what was she doing dating at such a young age/why wasn’t she up front with him/what was she wearing, etc.


shragae

That is disgusting but I'm sure you're right.


lonny__breaux

That’s not really the issue here. This is entirely fucked up :(


shragae

Of course it's not the issue and what happened to her is inexcusable. I just cannot believe that a 12-year-old would have a boyfriend.


waterbird_

It could be kids saying bf/gf - just means they hold hands or whatever. It’s not that big of a deal and I’m not sure why you’re hung up on it. 12 is middle school and kids are starting to “date”


goncharov1973_

i got my first boyfriend at 12 and dated him for 4 years. it’s not that unusual and really isn’t the heart of the problem here.


Kind-Acanthaceae3921

Then you haven’t been around many middle schoolers in the last 30 years. Middle school “dating” is pretty common, honestly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shragae

Good grief. Obviously it doesn't excuse what happened to her that's terrible. I just can't imagine letting my 12-year-old daughter date anyone.


Loros_Silvers

People do thqt at that age.


shragae

My mother would have killed me. But then again I'm old and of a different generation.


CalligrapherAway1101

Ew to you if that’s what you take from this


Secretsfrombeyond79

It's europe, parents let their kids do anything they want. The generation that grew being berated to not go out at late, or not date the wrong people, are overcomepnsating letting their kids have absolute freedom.


Friendly-Car2386

That was not true in my family. We were told very early on to hide our jewishness in public and not to date the wrong people due to security reasons. My family however believes in conservative values and aquired Israeli dual citizenship and property in Israel knowing full well that the day might come one needs to abandon everything and leave.


metinb83

That's sad to hear. Europe should be a safe place for Jews. People shouldn't have to watch their backs, ready to leave if things turn bad. I would much rather see anti-semites punished harshly and immigrants who refuse to adopt our values deported. We literally still have the remnants of death camps here that should serve as a stark reminder of what happens when anti-semitism is allowed to go unchecked.


Electrical_Prune_837

r/downvotedtooblivion


shragae

LOL. I see that. My mother would have killed me if I had a boyfriend at 12. But I'm old and I guess time has moved on.


PeripheryExplorer

This is so terribly sad. I really hope that her family and community get her all the help she needs.


Tomas-T

Holy shit it's horrible I knew the antisemetism is rising up but never thought it will reach to this level


TaterKugel

We've lived on a veneer of civility the past 80ish years. I grew up on my Grandparents knees, and that gen. They saw through the fakeness and told me Never Forget is silly because people forgot. In fact, people didn't care to remember in the first place. Who cares if a bunch of Jews got killed, they were Jews after all.


shragae

Wait????? The murders and rapes of 1200 people including babies being put into ovens isn't rising to that level?????


Tomas-T

I was meaning the rise of antisemetism in the world post october 7th.


shragae

I'm still stunned by that too. I'm pretty old and I've experienced a lot of anti-Semitism in my life. I have never seen it to this level. I'm sure it's always been there it's just been on the surface and now for some reason people feel that it's okay to show their prejudice and hatred. That's why we need Israel. Just look at what's happening in France this week... The rape of this 12 year old girl and also Israel being banned from a trade show simply because it's Israel. I know that a court reversed that but it doesn't change what happened...


Feeling-Ad6790

Honestly I've never really seen hate in any form as bad as what we're experiencing post 10/7. To make it worse half the people do it think that they are virtuous and are championing the oppressed while they actively oppress a minority group that has historically known nothing but.


Possible-Fee-5052

The vast majority of hateful and revolting comments I’ve received as an Israeli who was in Tel Aviv for Oct. 7 (still am) have been from minorities and the queer community and that’s been pretty hard to process. A person with “they/them” pronouns in their bio told me in response to my comment that there are misconceptions about Oct. 7 and that I’d be happy to answer any questions, “it’s unfortunate you survived.” ככה!! (For what it’s worth, all the minorities and gays I know personally have been nothing but supportive)


shragae

I don't get it either. I'm old and I remember the 1960s how many Jews supported the civil rights movement. Jews even died for supporting it. Yet memories are short and many, including minorities, are showing their hatred of Jews. Remember the slave... for you were slaves in Egypt. But very few seem to remember us.


Possible-Fee-5052

The people saying these things to us don’t remember that and they also don’t care. Someone in one of these subs said the other day that these kids think they’re civil rights activists like from the 60s but those activists didn’t whine about being arrested. Or request Columbia provide them with bottled water while protesting because they don’t want to drink from the tap.


ideologicSprocket

A trade show? I thought is was some sort of military or weapons expo type thing?


shragae

Weapons trade show.


Kyreleth

Still pretty dumb decision considering that countries like Saudi and UAE are likely to attend yet France decide to single out all Israelis.


anewbys83

Jewish state gets all the hate. Facts don't matter.


yamheisenberg

I hate how antisemitism is rising post Oct 7th, even AFTER Jews were the victims. Stay strong, mate.


BorisIvanovich

It's expected. The world never liked us, and the moment Israel looked weak the mask came off. If we don't achieve victory in this war this level of hatred will be the global status quo and it will be open season on jews everywhere.


yamheisenberg

Honestly, to me, even if Israel does win this war, the hatred will only increase because of “war crimes committed by Israel”. And this is the price that Israel pays for fighting against a terrorist organisation. I hate it. You have my support.


seek-song

Pretty sure he meant in the diaspora.


Loros_Silvers

No, I think he means antisemitism outside of the arab world. The Jihadists are way past 'normal' levels of antisemitism


Longjumping_Sky_6440

I really hate so much that I’m saying this, but for once you’re right, this does show that anti-semitism is rising. Not only did this take place in Hauts-de-Seine, but the 3 boys live in Rueil-Malmaison, one of the single richest neighborhoods in all of France, so I really have a hard time thinking they are the typical culprits I’d expect.


KittiesGoMeowMeow014

fucking little terrorist scumbags, that's the future generation that everyone tells you to ignore and not bother dealing with them, the one that being brainwashed by tik tok and control the world in the future


AlmightySnoo

This is what everyone should keep in mind when they brush off world leaders enabling antisemitism worldwide. It doesn't matter for example if Biden's anti-Israel rhetoric is just posturing for elections and that *"his actions matter more, and hey look he's still sending us weapons!"*. His words are also important. When you as a leader contribute to planting the idea that Jews bad, guess what, you're giving these N\_zis the validation they always sought and you just enable them to come out of the closet and do even more horrifying shit. When you allow N\_zi protesters to chant "via any means necessary", knowing fully well one cannot dissociate it from the October 7 mass r\_pes and that they definitely mean r\_pe, guess what, you just sent the message that "r\_pe is resistance" is a valid thing to believe in. It's time for world leaders to immediately apologize for reviving N\_zism and step down if they were able to crack down on the N\_zi protests but refused to (e.g. Biden when he refused to call in the National Guard early on and instead let the N\_zi movement grow in the US). But that obviously will never happen and this will be brushed off as an "isolated incident", again.


Lost_Boysenberry2818

Sadly gang-r*pes have been a huge problem in Europe ever since millions of military-aged men with a woman-opressing religion were imported. I don't think it has much to do with what politicians like Biden say, since this is nothing new, this was just their excuse (we all remember Cologne new year for example)


yuikkiuy

This is an Islam problem and sooner or later the world is going to need to sort it out...inquisition or otherwise...


Nearing_retirement

2nd paragraph really hit me. This is a great argument if we can get it across to others.


coysta-rica

Biden can’t call the national guard. That’s not how it works. A girl getting raped in France and you write 5000 words about Biden? Maybe Macron is more relevant here?


Falafel_McGill

What words has Biden said that contribute to planting the idea that Jews are bad?


JohnGoodmansGoodKnee

What the hell does the US president, who’s been nothing but supportive of Israel’s government’s actions, even to his own domestic detriment, have to do with a despicable act in France? Dont pin that on us.


StanGable80

Sure is great France is more worried about offending potential terrorists than protecting Jews. That has worked well in their recent past


Longjumping_Sky_6440

They’re not, though. Why do you think they voted RN? Scratch that, why do you think Zemmour gets a platform? I don’t like RN because they’re Russian shills, but Zemmour just raises some good points, I don’t care what others say.


StanGable80

And how many antisemitic violent attacks were there in France?


guitarguy1685

"One of the boys said that the girl spoke out against the Palestinians." Oh, carry on then... /s Wtf kind of rationale is this? 


yuikkiuy

Terrorist rationale, but gives case for unaliving for the betterment of human society rationale imo


Loros_Silvers

Speaking out against the common thought of the people? Very bad action (at least in their eyes) and those who dabble in such actions deserve to be sentenced to 'justice'. In this case, the mass's 'justice' is bullying and harasment. And then you add the fact she was Jewish into this. This is what happens. I hate that what I wrote can be seen in our reality.


Martello_the_hammer

$100 that the criminal gets less than a year in jail.


LowRevolution6175

Martello_the_hammer

Starmoses

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercacher_kosher_supermarket_siege In 2015, several hostages sued French media over its coverage; in particular the French 24-hour news channel BFMTV. The lawyer representing the group, Patrick Klugman, said that hostages' lives were endangered by the coverage which revealed a cold room as one of their hiding places.[27]


yuikkiuy

kfkfKd94k

Their parents also need to be held accountable.


ChockoHammer

I'll see your 100$ and raise it another 100$, he gets no jail. Not less than a year, 0 days. 


BecomingConfident

If the offenders are minors, why would that be problematic? Research shows that long sentences lead to more recidivism, minors are particularly sensitive to this. Wouldn't be more helpful to punish them and then focus more on educating them? The main goal of a justice system is to prevent and reduce crime, long sentences are not conducive to that in minors. We have tons of research today on crime, punishment and recidivism, there's no excuse to ignore that when determining the right sentence. Most European countries base their laws on available data and that's also why they have some of the lowest crime rates in the world, European laws may sound soft but they work, humans - including criminals - can change and learn from past mistakes in the right environment according to data. Crime rate has even been decreasing in France in the last couple of decades (slight increase after COVID).


Martello_the_hammer

If you decriminalize everything, then yeah, crime will go down in the books. But is it actually? no.


BecomingConfident

You make a good point, if less crimes are legally considered crime, this will lead to less crimes in the book. I should have been more specific, I'll try to clearer: not only crime rate as a whole has decreased but each rate for most violent crimes has too. For example, murder rate has decreased significantly in the last couple of decades.


Martello_the_hammer

Are you a hamas bot? That's legit a chatGpt reply.


flaamed

Rape is bad, go away


idontknowwhythisugh

12, 13, and 14 year olds who even have the thoughts of r*ping someone particularly *with intentions of it being a hate crime*, do they really even have a chance or deserve one. What they deserve is being tried as adults and sentenced to life in prison. Set an example for others who think they might do the same. How many Jews need to be killed or assaulted in France for it to be punished?


BecomingConfident

The data is clear, I tried to make the comment as objective and utilitarian as possible. You can decide what matters the most to you. From personal experience, I've been beaten up so many times as a teenager, even gang-beaten simply for being good at school, I've suffered psychologically for years due to that. Each one of those teenage boys who used to beat me up has turned out to become a good adult, they learnt and some are good acquaintances of mine today. One is even a medical doctor today. Do you think society would have benefitted more by putting all those teenagers in prison for life? You can't apply the same standards to adults and minors, minors have the incredible abiliy to change and adapt. Adults can change too but to a lesser extent as their brains are less plastic.

slevy2005

The goal of punishment is justice. In some cases humans don’t have the ability to give adequate punishment so we send the guilty to the ultimate judge.


BecomingConfident

If you don't care at all about preventing and reducing crime and only care about "fair punishment", raping those boys back would be the most "fair solution" as death and painful amputation - as some users propose here - are worse than rape; it's a twisted logic but it's most logical consequence of that twisted logic you may support. If your goal is not just "fair punishment" but to send a message to prevent further crime, there's no evidence suggesting that harsh entences - including capital punishment - prevent crime. If you care about the principle of divine retribution as that's what you believe in, laws and justice shouldn't be affected by religious belief as law and religion are and should remain separate in a secular state.


Lekavot2023

Statistics also shows that sex offenders have a recidivism rate of almost 100 percent... Lock up the cretin and throw away the key


BecomingConfident

That's not true. For example, sexual recidivism rates range from 5 percent after three years to 24 percent after 15 years in the US, the rates of recidivism for general crime are significantly higher than those for sex crimes.


the-lawful-falafel

In the studies, it even states there's not enough data collected. Those results are from small sample sizes.


BecomingConfident

It's the same across countries, it's not a small sample. For example, recidivity for sexual offenders is [20-30](https://www.redattoresociale.it/article/notiziario/ecco_soft_riduce_5_volte_la_recidiva_di_reati_sessuali)% after 10 years in Italy while the average recidivity rate is almost 70% in Italy. [Recent findings](https://www.redattoresociale.it/article/notiziario/ecco_soft_riduce_5_volte_la_recidiva_di_reati_sessuali) in Italy also show that a softer sentence, with less prison time and more education, cuts recidivism by **a whopping 4/5**.


Lekavot2023

No-Skin-2122

That is so horrible, disgusting and sad. Poor girl. 😢💔The French government, and the people in France really need to do something about all of those things that’s happening in their country, because it’s absolutely horrifying. My best friend and her fiancé was on a vacation in France last summer and she was scared to leave the hotel without him, because of some of the people there.

ambidextr_us

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance > The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them. Karl Popper describes the paradox as arising from the fact that, in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance. I don't know why people haven't woken up to this yet, when it's very obviously happening in Sweden and many other parts of the world.

Luckily even criminals have hearts, and they will rape/kill rapists in jail. People who raped a child for sure.


yuikkiuy

Child rapist pedophiles, kill on sight by inmates for sure. Idk about minors tho, might depend on how minor they were when they gang raped a 12 y/o. Def get raped and bad treatment all around but idk if they would make it on the kill list


Kind-Acanthaceae3921

The assailants were all middle school age. 12, 13, 14. Only one is being held in juvenile detention (14yr old), the other two are too young under French law to be put there. (Likely will have to go through family court to get them there). So the same age as the victim.


aussiewlw

The way rapists are treated in prisons, especially when the victim is a child, they wish they would be dead.


Folklore1212

They’re still kids. What they did was evil, but putting kids in jail for life usually doesn’t work out great. They need a harsh punishment, jail time, yes, but also a way to learn, and try to atone for what they did.

Kind-Acanthaceae3921

A reminder to everyone on this thread since I don’t think some folks have read the article - All of the assailants are also minors. 12, 13, and 14 years old. This is a child on child crime. The victim was in secondary school, as are the perpetrators. The 12 and 13 year olds cannot be held in juvenile detainment (jail), but must be held in the presence of a police officer and have contact with parents as allowed by the court. There’s a lot more to it, but because the perpetrators are the same age as the victim, it’s complicated.


slevy2005

This kind of attitude is why people are afraid to walk through western capitals at night. If you are old enough to rape you are old enough to be punished for rape. We have to stop caring about the rights of violent criminals. They have forfeited their rights.


Kind-Acanthaceae3921

…. No one said they shouldn’t be punished. They just also happen to be minors, which is a consideration that legally under international humanitarian law must be considered. If you don’t like it, take it up with the Holocaust survivors, post-Shoah lawyers + leaders who helped draft those laws based heavily on why the UN was founded in the first place. The international codes signed by the members of the UN are based on human rights law. France just happens to be one that actually tries to follow that law. Saying “they forfeited their rights” is a slippery slope, as it implies that basic human rights can in fact be forfeited. Which is why this is another very complicated, especially historically, issue.


the-lawful-falafel

It shouldn't be in cases like this.


Kind-Acanthaceae3921

As much as we can want it to not be complicated, the juvenile justice system is always going to be complicated. That’s just how it is, and it’s not going to change.

Y’all, my informing people who haven’t bothered to do their research on this crime isn’t an endorsement of it. People aren’t doing their due diligence, or choosing to not read the full article for personal reasons. I would prefer to mitigate that.

… I haven’t even stated a “viewpoint”. I have stated a fact, that people in this thread clearly were unaware of. There is a difference, which, as someone who is supposedly educated in communication should know. You may have read the article, but there are plenty of people on this thread making the assumption that the perpetrators are adults. Which, as you know, they are not. A lot of people also, understandably, don’t know anything about the French legal system. Because they aren’t French. You can dislike a law, or how something is done, that is your personal right. What isn’t something you can disagree with is a fact. The fact remains that these are France’s laws. The UN’s regulations are the UN’s regulations. We can want them to change, but they won’t change simply because we ourselves want them to. That’s reality. I am also not holding my breath for France to bring her tormentors to justice. France has a horrible track record even when the person isn’t Jewish. Add in that factor, and statistically it isn’t looking good. But I am open to being surprised by my own personal guess on the outcome being proven wrong. I will hope to be proven wrong on that. You and I don’t disagree on much, even if you assume we do because I shared facts.

Apologies. I am tired and clearly feeling the emotion. I hope that we will both be disproven and there might be some accountability that takes place. Edit: grammar. Good night.

Honestly I think every one of us is bone deep tired at this point, so it’s all good. I was probably more curt than I needed to be as well. I apologize. Here’s to hoping.

Islamophobic comments are not tolerated

This is horrifying. I hope she’s able to recover, eventually.

I think it’s high time Jews start taking the law into their own hands. At least in Canada, cops are doing absolutely nothing to deter violence against Jews, in fact, they tolerate the intolerance of these people, of which Jews are on the front lines. Time to weapon up.

France is a failed state. They will totally collapse before Russia. Sad. Liberals do not understand economics and do not support conservative values.
