Rabbi Yehuda Malul of the Menuchat Shalom synagogue in Marseilles, France, was attacked this past weekend with another congregant while on their way to morning prayers.
The synagogue is located in the center of the southern French city, where there are many hareidi-religious Jews, synagogues and yeshivot.
According to a report posted on the Hebrew-language website Bhadarei Haredim, the attacker was a “young man of Arab appearance.”
The rabbi, who spoke with a writer at the website, said the attacker yelled, “Yahud, Allahu Akbar!” The attacker punched the rabbi with his fists, and he shouted again, “Itbah al-Yahud!” as the rabbi fell to the ground.
When the rabbi’s companion went to the rabbi’s side to try to protect him, the attacker pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the abdomen.
The rabbi told the site that he was “not hurt” and continued on to the synagogue. However, his companion was rushed to the hospital where doctors “said it was a real miracle, and that the knife was blocked due to the heavy coat he was wearing. If not for the coat, the injury could have been critical.”
The attacker had been released only a few days earlier from prison, according to the rabbi, who said the incident was “frightening” when taken in context of the normal Marseilles lifestyle.
“Here in Marseilles, it’s not like Paris,” he said, “ we have had no anti-Semitic incidents; that this has happened at a time of stabbings in Israel is frightening, especially since after the stabbing the stabber continued to curse the Jews after being arrested by police.”
On Sunday, the Jewish community in Marseilles is set to hold a solidarity rally for Israel, walking from the city center to the Israeli consulate.
You don’t have to say “Islamist terrorists”. Islamist implies terrorist.
Disgusting!
Why like this?
Did the French police try to find the terrorists and arrest them or just ignore the terrible attack.
These islam fanatics are really sick in the head
Just deport these Muslim newcomers.
i guess the islamist thug thought the rabbi and the congregant were threats to islam and his so called allah who endorses the killing any one who is not islamic.
See, now, this is what I can't wrap my mind around. This attacker had only been released from prison a few days, and here he goes and does it again. Who in their right mind can believe these people can be intergrated into another society that is not Islam?
Time for all Jews to leave France and let them keep the Muslims.
So the knife jihad against Jews spills out of Israel…
Don't be too comfy if you're not a Jew. We're all kafirs.
Muslims just CANNOT be trusted!
