“Our daughter experienced anti-Semitism in her flesh,” declare, Monday June 24 in The Parisianthe parents of the 12-year-old schoolgirl, kidnapped, insulted and raped by a group of boys of her age on Saturday June 15 in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine), in particular because of her Jewish religion.

“She is very shocked. Her attackers stole her childhood”assure his parents, who speak for the first time since the events. “It is a clearly anti-Semitic act which is linked to the importation into France of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The punitive expedition consisted of coming to massacre a person because they are Jewish”they estimate.

According to her mother, one of the three minor boys had learned that the schoolgirl had lied about her religion, claiming that she was Muslim: “From what we understood, F. (the 12-year-old minor) said to our daughter: ‘Why did you lie? I know you’re not Muslim… So what religion are you? ?’ In fact, he had learned that our daughter was Jewish and he deduced that she was necessarily ‘pro-Israel’ and anti-Palestinian. The reality is very different since our daughter, like ourselves, is for the camp. peace. But obviously, this F. could not stand the fact that she could have lied to him about her religion.

“We are not experiencing residual anti-Semitism but heavy, visible, palpable anti-Semitism”said his mother. “Above all, we want people to wake up and make the distinction between an extremely hot conflict taking place abroad and the French Jews on the other.”“We also hope that French society becomes fully aware of the level of violence and hatred that 13-year-old children are capable of against another child, on the pretext that he is Jewish”finish the parents.

In this case, two 13-year-old minors were indicted for “meet rape”, “meet sexual assault”, “attempted extortion”, “meet violence”, “death threats and insults based on religion“. Both were placed in pre-trial detention. The third minor, aged 12, was placed under the status of assisted witness concerning the acts of rape. He is indicted for the rest of the offenses.
