France: JDate ad removed due to vandalism




The city of Nanterre, a Paris suburb, removed 18 billboard ads put up by Jewish dating site JDate.

Apparently because the Jewish Star poses a threat to public order, given the recent media coverage of antisemitic comedian Dieudonné.

Update: headline updated.

Tribune Juive updates that some billboards were removed by the advertising firm Decaux because they were vandalized (swastikas, broken glass).  The city had nothing to do with it.
