France: Anti-Semitic assault at a kosher restaurant in Paris

Europe-Israel blog reports that an anti-Semitic attack occurred at a kosher restaurant on Boulevard Voltaire, Paris.

According to BNVCA
(National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism), witnesses reported that on November 2, at 8:30 p.m., around twenty individuals arrived at NINA SUSHI and proceeded to provoke patrons at the terrace and indoors.

Some were wearing masks.  They flung projectiles and shouted anti-Semitic abuse such as "Death to the Jews".

Witnesses said the assault was carried out by members of the self-styled Jewish Revolutionary League, a  far-left pro-Palestinian organization, who like to  pass off as "Jewish".  They had held a meeting earlier that evening  at 213 Voltaire boulevard, home to many pro-Palestinian organisations. 

The police intervened quickly to restore order and avoid clashes, as diners were ready to defend themselves.  No one was injured and the police made no arrests.
