France: Handicapped woman attacked by mob for displaying Israeli flag




Via LeMedia05 (h/t LDJ)

Five people were arrested recently in Gap (south-eastern France) for an antisemitic attack this past July.

Céciliane, a handicapped woman, is not Jewish, but she supports the Jewish people and therefore hung an Israeli flag in her apartment.  The flag was visible from the street.

On July 21st, after a pro-Palestinian demonstration in the town, a dozen people gathered outside her building and started throwing stones and firecrackers and yelling antisemitic slurs.  The next day the scene repeated, with 20-30 people attacking the apartment.  The crowd also attacked the police officers who showed up.

One of the assailants was identified by his DNA, which was found on a stone inside the victim's apartment.
