the 2006 murder of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jewish cell phone salesman who was kidnapped and killed by a gang in Paris after three weeks of torture. Halimi was found naked, covered in bruises, knife slashes and burns; he died on the way to the hospital... Halimi had been abducted by a gang calling itself the Barbarians, which had tried unsuccessfully to extort a ransom of 3 million Euros ($4.5 million) from Halimi's family... When police raided the apartments of gang leader Youssouf Fofana and other gang members charged with Halimi's killing, they discovered anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi and radical Muslim, or Islamist, literature. Fofana continued to send anti-Semitic letters to the judge overseeing the case.

The police traced the crime to a group that became known as "the gang of Barbarians," allegedly led by Youssouf Fofana, the twenty- five-year-old son of African immigrants, and determined that Halimi had been abducted because he was Jewish.

Column One: Ilan Halimi and Israel


Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST  Feb. 24, 2006


Ilan Halimi's barbarous murder in France should awaken all Jews to the most significant truth of our times: Today, every Jew in the world is on the front lines of war.


[...]

This makes sense. Anti-Semitism in the Muslim dominated suburbs of Paris and other French cities is all-encompassing. As Nidra Poller related in Thursday's Wall Street Journal, "One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang [of kidnappers], who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture."


It appears that Ilan Halimi's murderers had some connection to Hamas. Tuesday, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said that police found propaganda published by the Palestinian Charity Committee or the CBSP at the home of one of the suspects. The European Jewish Press reported this week that Israel has alleged that the organization is a front group for Palestinian terrorists and that in August 2003 the US government froze the organization's US bank accounts, accusing it of links with Hamas.
Halimi's family alleges that throughout the 20 days of Ilan's captivity, the French police refused to take the anti-Semitic motivations of the kidnappers into account.

The barbarians of Europe

Feb 28, 2006 ... The woman had been sent as bait in order to lure Halimi to a spot from where he could be kidnapped. She had been sent by a gang named "The Barbarians," from Bagneux, a suburb south of Paris. The 15-strong gang, which includes Muslim radicals (one was the son of an Egyptian newspaper correspondent), overpowered Halimi and took him to an apartment in Bagneux.



Over the next three weeks they contacted Halimi's family and demanded a ransom of up to 500,000 Euros ($600,000). On Feb. 13, Halimi was found tied naked to a tree, handcuffed, gagged, hooded and starved, with severe burns and torture marks and cuts all over his body.



He died of his wounds as he was taken to hospital. The French police officer leading the investigation said the gang "kept him naked and tied up for weeks. They cut bits off his flesh, fingers and ears, and in the end poured flammable liquid on him and set him alight. It was one of the cruelest killings I have ever seen."



The gang phoned the family several times and made them listen to verses from the Koran while Ilan screamed as he was tortured in the background. Even when it became clear that the family, who are not rich, couldn't pay, the gang continued committing violence against Ilan for its own sake because, the police say, he was Jewish.
One of the young torturers now under arrest told police his accomplices took turns to stub out cigarettes on Ilan's forehead while voicing hatred for Jews.



The police also found literature linking the suspects to extremist Muslim causes and discovered that the gang had already tried to kidnap four other Jews in recent weeks, hospitalizing at least one 50-year-old Jew who was pistol-whipped before managing to escape, and throwing a hand-grenade at a Jewish doctor in another attack...

The Halimi Cover-Up - Op-Eds - Israel National News
May 26, 2009 ... Death in an Islamic "homemade concentration camp".


Warning! The following contains descriptions of extreme brutality.


The abduction and murder in Paris of a young Jewish man by a gang of Muslim immigrants calling themselves the Barbarians shocked the whole of France in 2006. But now that the accused are on trial - silence.


A French judge has ordered the latest issue of the magazine Choc ("shock") removed from the shelves. The cover showed a man with duct tape completely covering his head, except for a small opening around his nostrils.
His nose is bloody. His hands are also bound with duct tape.


It was a photo of Ilan Halimi, the 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by the Barbarians. His captors took the picture and sent it to his family. A lawyer for Halimi's family had complained about the magazine, but Choc's editor-in-chief Paul Payan responded: "Of course, we understand the anguish of the parents and, of course, we share their anguish.... But what's so harrowing is not the publication of this photo. What's harrowing is what it represents, what happened, the reality behind it."


And it gets worse. The New York Times reported last week that "in the two and a half weeks since 27 people went on trial [in Paris] for the brutal 2006 kidnapping, torture and killing of a young Jewish man, little has filtered out about the proceedings." Worse still, the little that has emerged indicates that French government and law enforcement have done everything in their power to obscure the Islamic Jew-hatred that led these Muslims to commit this crime.

Torture Murder of French Jew Spurs Marches, Rallies, Aliyah, and a Tribute at Rutgers



On April 24, Rutgers Hillel will hold a tribute to Ilan Halimi, z”l, the 23-year-old French Jew who was kidnapped and brutally tortured to death by a pre-dominantly Muslim gang in a Paris suburb this past February.

Leah Shisha, a Douglass College junior majoring in marketing, is one of the organizers of the memorial rally... “Living in 2006, I believed that brutal killings along antisemitic lines no longer happened. Ilan’s murder woke me up to the frightening reality in which welive. For this reason, I am determined tokeep the memory of Ilan Halimi alive, for his death has become a symbol of the antisemitism that still exists around theworld,” she said.


Making a Date


On Jan. 20, Mr. Halimi, a real estate specialist between jobs while hesaved towards his goal of making aliyah, was working in a small cell phone shopalong Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. A 17-year-old Iranian-French girl came into the shop and flirted with him, perhaps, authorities say, believing he was the store’s owner.

The two arranged to meet the following Friday evening, but, when they did, the young woman lured him to aspot she had pre-arranged with her gang, a group of mostly Muslim young men, who kidnapped Mr. Halimi and held him for 24 days in a building in one of the banlieues, the poor suburban projectst hat ring the French capital.[...]

Page 15

Throughout Mr. Halimi’s disap-pearance, the police handled the case asif it were a simple matter of kidnap for ransom. They neglected, some say purposefully, to connect the dots between Mr. Halimi’s disappearance and several other men who had been targeted in other recent kidnapping attempts. Most of them, like Mr. Halimi, were Jewish.

600 Messages

During the three weeks of Mr. Halimi’s ordeal, the gang contacted his divorced parents approximately 600 timesby phone and email. One of the emails contained a picture of Mr. Halimi with asack on his head and a gun pointed at his temple, suggesting, according to the police, “scenes of torture at Abu Ghraib.” In the Wall Street Journal, American novelist Nidra Poller, who resides in Paris, wrote, “As it turns out, the beheading of Daniel Pearl or Iraqi snuff films are the better comparison.” Unlike those cases, however, Mr. Halimi’s kidnappers, who appropri-ately called themselves “Barbarians,”wanted money. Ransom demands to Mr. Halimi’s very modest family rangedfrom €500,000 ($600,000) one day, to €100,000 ($122,159) the next, and then to €5,000 ($6,108).

The kidnappers called off several pick-up arrangements. But while some of their antics seemed amateurish, they knew enough to keep their emails and cell phone numbers untraceable.

Not for the Money Alone

...From the beginning, the Halimi family knew different. Ilan Halimi’s uncle, Rafi Halimi, told reporters that, during several of the gang’s phone calls, the family was forced to listen to gang members read from the Quran. In the background, they could hear Mr. Halimi screaming in agony as the torture continued.

When the family told the kidnappers that they did not have money to pay aransom, the Barbarians told them “to go and ask in the synagogues. ”The gang later contacted a rabbi to tell him, “We have a Jew.” “If Ilan hadn’t been Jewish, he wouldn’t have been murdered,” his mother, Ruth, told reporters.

Moroccan Immigrants
Mrs. Halimi and her former hus-band, Didier Halimi, immigrated to France from Morocco in 1980 with their two daughters, Anne-Laure and Yael. Ilan was born in France. Family photographs show him as tanned young man with a ready smile andclose-cropped hair. Friends described him as maintaining a sunny dispositionand an open heart. He associated with people from all backgrounds, which is why he had no problem keeping a date with a young Iranian woman. Mrs. Halimi, who works as a clerk for a Jewish communal center in Paris, accused French police of ignoring the antisemitic motive because they did not wish to upset Muslims.“ We told the police that there were at least three attempted kidnappings of young Jews, but they kept insisting that the motives were purely criminal,” said Mrs. Halimi. [...]

Page 17

..smoke the culprits out. Jewish communal leaders now say that publicizing the case might have led to the earlier capture of the kidnappers andthe possible prevention of thetorture they perpetrated ontheir victim.“ Everyone knows you maintain contact, otherwise, they become enraged, and that is exactly what happened,” Mrs. Halimi told reporters. She said she felt “abandoned” by the French police, not because they had no interest in catching the gang members, but because “they were not thinking about Ilan.” “It was cold-blooded, with no feeling, like they didn’t care,” she told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Real Torture

One of the photos sent to thefamily shows Mr. Halimi wrapped like a mummy with only a small hole for air and liquids. Another shows him with blood streaming down his face. His tormentors had shaved his head and sliced his cheek with a knife before photographing him.“ This was real torture. Not touching a terrorist’s Quran with the wrong hand. Or leaving the lights on in his cell until he tells you where the next big terrorist attack might comefrom.
Real torture in the flesh. Tortured to death. Despised with the most utter hatred,” wrote an Internet blogger commenting on the case.

Brutalized

On Feb 13, Mr. Halimi was found stumbling in a field near the railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris. Handcuffed, naked, with 80 percent of his body covered with bruises, stab wounds, andserious burns, he was found by a passerby who called for help.

Mr. Halimi, who had lost parts of his fingers and his ears to the torturers, died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. No one wound was said t obe the cause. He died from the cumulative effect of torture. The French police officer leading the investigation said the gang “kept him naked and tied up for weeks. They cut off his flesh, fingers, and ears, and, in the end, poured flammable liquid on him and set him onfire. It was one of the cruelest killings I have ever seen.”

There were some suggestions that he was burned in an effort by the kidnappers to destroy their own DNA evidence. Some reports said his abductors thought he was already dead when they dumpedh im near the railroad.

Fast Arrests

As the pieces fell quickly into the place, French police made numerous arrests. A remarkably accurate police sketch of a blond woman who had tried to lure other youngmen, most of them Jews, to the kidnappers, prompted Audrey Lorleach to turn herself in before she was captured. She led police to a housing project in Bagneux, a suburb in Hauts-de-Seine where Muslims commonly refer to Jews as “Feuj,” which is “Juif” backwards. A sketch also led to the capture of the Iranian woman who had lured Mr. Halimi to his death. Fifteen “Barbarians” were arrested as hundreds ofSWAT officers raided apartments. Another suspect was arrested in Belgium.

Ms. Lorleach told police she did not expect the kidnapping to lead to murder, but she did nothing to alert authorities once the torture began.

Ringleader

Youssouf Fofana, the gang’s 26-year-old shaven-head ringleader, who alternately refers to himself as the “Brain of the Barbarians” and “Mohammed,” was found ...

Page 18

... in northern Ivory Coast, where he was born. He had flown there on a one-way ticket, bought under his own name, on Feb 15, the day his picture appeared in Le Figaro. According to French police, when Mr. Fofana saw his name and photograph in the French media, he became enraged and, from Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, called Mr. Halimi’s father and girlfriend, as well as several of his own accomplices in France. These calls led police to his exact location.

French police described Mr. Fofana as a small-time gangster with 13 arrests for crimes that included armed robbery and assault on a law-enforcement official.
In 1999, he stole a car and beat the Portuguese owner when he tried to intervene. Mr. Fofana was arrested and sentenced to two years in prison, which he served not far from Paris.
... Mr. Fofana, who reportedly was cheerful in admitting his participation in Mr. Halimi’s kidnapping, said his only motive was money. “The kidnapping was for financial reasons,”he told French television.He said he did not participate in the murder, but his accomplices accused him of delivering Mr. Halimi’s fatal stab wounds.
The arrested Barbarians and their colleagues include the 18-year-old son of an Egyptian newspaper correspondent.

Hatred of Strangers

One of the most troubling aspects of the case is the probable involvement of many of the Barbarians’ relatives and neighbors, who were told about the Jewish hostage and seem to have dropped in just to participate in the torture. No ne called the police or urged the abductors to show mercy.“ It was like they had a trophy, a Jewish kid, and everybody abused him,” said Sammy Ghozlan, a former French police officer who serves as president of the National Office of Vigilance against Antisemitism. Mr. Ghozlan, 63, sees his missionas monitoring security for the French-Jewish community.

Police searches of the crime scenes, an apartment and then, later, a utility room in the cellar of one of the project buildings, led to the discovery of Islamist literature, including pamphlets supporting Al Qaeda and the Palestinian terror group Hamas. The Barbarians were given the spaces in which to hold Mr. Halimi by a custodian, who is now also in police custody.“ They promised him €1500 ($1,827), so he gave them an empty apartment touse and said nothing. What kind of man is that? A man who simply does not care.
It was an open secret in the neighborhood that a Jew was being held and tortured, and nobody called the police anonymously, not one person,” said Mrs. Halimi.
She noted that the building’s elevator was blocked for 10 days, and people were guarding the door to the torture-chamber apartment. “It was not that all those neighbors were antisemitic. It’s more that they simply did not care,” she said.
... “This is anti-Jewish hatred,” said Mr. Ghozlan. “You see it in the choice of the target and in the way they treated him when they had him.” Mr. Ghozlan, who was born in Algeria and speaks Arabic as well as French and Hebrew, maintained that if the motive were not antisemitism, the gang would have released Mr. Halimi when it was clear there would be no ransom. But Mr. Ghozlan conceded that these thugs probably see Jews as just one of their many enemies. “They mix everything together. They are against Jews, Americans, France, the West. If they could have got-ten their hands on a French cop in the same way, they probably would have done the same thing,” he said.

Stuck in the Lower Class


Page 20

Some French authorities explained to the Los Angeles Times that the Barbarians were driven “by a tribal, predatory code that glorifies brutality, a subculture nourished on violent films, rapmusic that curses France and politicians, Islamic fundamentalist literature, and jihadist videos. “There are only two idols in the projects today, [French NBA star] Tony Parker and Abu Musab Zarqawi,” the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq,” said author Stephane Btome, a former anti-terror-ism detective. “And unlessyou’re a really good basket-ball player, it’s easier to emu-late Zarqawi.” That seems to be thepath taken by Mr. Fofana,who, after his release fromjail, returned to his mother’sapartment and used his prison credentials to assume the role of a senior thug. Just before Mr. Halimi’s funeral on Feb. 15, Mr. Fofana called Didier Halimi on his cell phone to issue one last threat: “Do you see what we did to your son? We’ll do the same thing to you if you don’t fork up the money.”

National Solidarity

On Thursday, Feb 23, more than 1,500 mourners, including French President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, Archbishop André Vingt-Trois of Paris, and Dalil Boubakeur, president of the organized Muslim community, jammed Paris’s Main Synagogue on Rue de la Victoire, for a commemorative service held after the seven-day shiva mourning period.

Thousands of Jews and non-Jews, who could not get into the shul, paid their respects outside. The family was accompanied by police officers for security.
Mr. de Villepin stressed the “emotion” and “meditation” in the synagogue. “It is the national solidarity which is expressed here,” he said.


Mr. Chirac, who was accompanied by his wife, Bernadette, spoke at length with Mrs. Halimi and her daughters. He promised that “those responsible for this act of barbarity will be traced, caught, and punished.”

“Before” and “After” Ilan

During the service, France’s chief rabbi, Joseph Sitruk, said, “From now on, there is a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ Ilan.” He asked all French citizens “to stand up as one manand cry: It’s enough. No, France, didn’t lose its soul.
It must remain the country of enlightenment as it always has been.”
Paris’s chief rabbi, David Messas, recalled that, in Hebrew, Ilan means “tree.” “Others uprooted the tree andsowed hatred, horror, and terror,” he said.


In Brussels, some 600 people, including two government ministers and several MPs responded to a call issued by the Belgian Union of Jewish Students to gather at the city’s main synagogue to pay tribute to Mr. Halimi.

After Kaddish was recited, the crowd marched silently to the nearby Law courts, where candles were lit.

Stern Response

Although French authorities may have come on their own to the realization that antisemitism was a factor in Mr. Halimi’s murder, they were doubtlessly jarred by an angry protest that evening in which hundreds of Jews demanded that it be classified as a hate crime. “The truth is that these lowlifes acted primarily for sordid and vile motives, tog et money, but they were convinced that ‘the Jews have money’ and if those kidnapped didn’t have money, their family and their community would come up with it. That’s called ‘anti-semitism by amalgam,” said French Interior Minister and Presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy.
Mr. Sarkozy, whose stern response to crime and anti-semitism has endeared him to much of the Jewish community, pointed out that four of the six other people targeted by the Barbarians for kidnapping were Jews...

'Barbarian' defies court over torture and murder of Jew - Times Online


April 30, 2009



Charles Bremner in Paris


A self-proclaimed Muslim barbarian shouted his contempt for his judges yesterday at the start of his trial for the torture and murder of a young Jewish man.



Youssouf Fofana, 28, who led a loose-knit gang of youths from an immigrant housing estate, swaggered into court and shouted “Allah will conquer” as the court began hearing a case into a killing that horrified France and the world Jewish community in 2006.



Mr Fofana and most of his 26 alleged accomplices have admitted their roles in the kidnapping of Ilan Halimi, 23, an assistant in a Paris telephone shop, who was held for ransom for 24 days in the suburb of Bagneux.



Mr Fofana, whose parents came to France from Ivory Coast, denies killing the victim, who was tied up in a cellar and tortured with acid, cigarettes and knives. He died in an ambulance after Mr Fofana dumped him by a railway line and allegedly set him alight.



The crime symbolised the casual and violent anti-Semitic culture among the young on the immigrant estates. It shocked France because many residents, including parents of gang members, were alleged to have been aware that Mr Halimi was being held. Some allegedly took turns in guarding the captive for a few euros. Half the defendants, mainly teenagers at the time, face charges of failing to render assistance or alert police.



The racially charged trial proceeded in camera because two of the accused were minors in 2006, including Emma, 19, of Iranian background, who is alleged to have lured Mr Halimi to his doom by visiting his shop and inviting him on a romantic date.



Ruth Halimi, the victim's mother, has accused the police of bungling the inquiry. She initially attacked the Government, including Nicolas Sarkozy, then the Interior Minister, for playing down its anti-Semitic aspect.



After thousands demonstrated, Mr Sarkozy promised Jewish leaders that everything would be done to bring all those involved to justice.



Mr Fofana faces life imprisonment if convicted of kidnapping, torture and murder, aggravated by anti-Semitic motives, a specific charge in French law.



Mrs Halimi sat apparently praying in court as Mr Fofana, bearded and in a white tracksuit, grinned at her and jokingly told the judges that his name was “Arabs African revolt barbarian Salafist army”. Salafism is a fundamentalist movement espoused by many young immigrant radicals.



Mrs Halimi has been waging a campaign to keep the spotlight on the anti-Semitic motives behind the crime. Mr Fofana's accomplices are alleged to have said that he picked the victim because he was Jewish and “Jews have money and they stick together”.

Trial begins of French 'gang of barbarians' accused of killing young Jew after 24-day torture,BR>
By Mail Foreign Service

Last updated at 8:49 AM on 30th April 2009



A self-proclaimed 'gang of barbarians' accused of kidnapping a young Jewish man in a Paris suburb, torturing him for 24 days and killing him went on trial yesterday.

The death of Ilan Halimi, 23, in 2006 horrified France and came to symbolise a rise in anti-Semitic violence in its poor, multi-ethnic suburbs.

The leader of the 'barbarians', Youssouf Fofana, smirked at Halimi's relatives and shouted 'Allahu akbar!' ('God is Greatest!' in Arabic) at them as he entered the courtroom.


Bearded and wearing a white tracksuit, Fofana gave his identity during formal questioning by the judge as 'Arabs African revolt barbarian salafist army'.

Murder Trial Puts Focus on French Anti-Semitism
By Bruce Crumley / Paris Sunday, May 03, 2009


The murder of Ilan Halimi was an anti-Semitic crime. That fact, with which virtually everyone in France now concurs, was established at the opening of the trial this week in Paris of the self-styled "Gang of Barbarians" charged with kidnapping, torturing and then killing the young Jewish man. And although acknowledging Halimi's death as a hate crime may seem like stating the obvious, it's a far from insignificant detail in a country that has tended to minimize the bias aspect of past violence against Jews.



From the opening moments in the trial of 27 youths accused of involvement in the February 2006 abduction, persecution and murder of Halimi, the anti-Semitic attitude and motivations of alleged gang leader Youssouf Fofana became quite clear. Previously, Fofana had told police he and his cohorts had chosen to kidnap Halimi for ransom because the victim and his family were Jews and therefore, Fofana believed, had to be rich. But once in court, Fofana sought to frame his behavior in jihadist language: after shouting "Allahu akbar" at the court, for example, Fofana gave his name as "Arabs, African, Revolt, Armed, Barbarian, Salafist [the literalist Muslim puritanism whose more violent incarnation is usually associated with al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups]." Later, Fofana, 28, appeared to taunt the victim's family by, among other things, giving his date of birth as Feb. 13, 2006, the date of Halimi's death. (See photographs of Nazi Germany's Kristallnacht pogrom.)



None of his 26 co-defendants echoed Fofana's tirades; most have minimized their participation in the kidnapping and torture by telling police investigators that they reluctantly participated for fear of defying the intimidating Fofana. Some also admitted to investigators that Fofana's depictions of Jews as rich exploiters had jibed with the anti-Semitic comments often heard in the racially diverse, economically depressed housing project from which they hailed. Despite the rich-Jew stereotype embraced by many of the accused, the same impoverished milieu from which they came is also home to several large Jewish communities, often founded by Sephardic Jews forced out of France's former North African colonies after independence. These communities have reported mounting tension with their black and Arab neighbors in recent years.



At the time of Halimi's death, many commentators — and, initially, even the French police — declined to see Halimi's abduction and murder as an anti-Semitic crime. Instead, they explained it as a naive ransom attempt by plotters whose motivation was financial gain, even if their social milieu and limited education had led them to accept grotesque racist stereotypes of Jews. No one is offering such rationalizations any longer.



"Ilan Halimi was targeted because he was a Jew and because his tormentors believed he had to be rich and deserved what was coming to him," says Richard Prasquier, president of the Representative Council of France's Jewish Institutions. "This gang attempted kidnapping two people before Ilan Halimi — both Jews. They were not dissuaded upon realizing Ilan worked in a mobile-phone store, didn't earn much and came from a modest family that couldn't be rich. To them, he was a Jew, so he was victimized."



"If this crime wasn't anti-Semitic, what crime is?" agreed Laurent Joffrin in his editorial for the daily Libération as the trial opened. Joffrin warned that anti-Semitic thinking that has long been present among France's extreme right- and left-wing political groups is gaining traction in France's blighted suburbs. "In the exclusion of the projects, in the racism that strikes minorities, and in their social despair," Joffrin wrote, "the old plague has found favorable terrain."



The "old plague," of course, is also boosted by a tendency to hold France's Jews responsible for Israel's actions: anti-Semitic attacks here tend to spike during outbreaks of violence between Israelis and Palestinians. Prasquier noted the "disturbing surge of [anti-Semitic] acts in January, due to the war in Gaza." Previous outbreaks of Mideast violence in recent years have produced a similar effect in France, which is home to Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish communities — populations of around 6 million and 350,000, respectively. The 936 anti-Semitic acts reported in 2002 and the 974 two years later coincided with flare-ups between Israel and Palestine. Those peaks — and perception among many Jews in France and abroad that French authorities had displayed insufficient concern or reaction — led Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2004 to denounce the "spread of the wildest anti-Semitism" in France. The only answer for French Jews, Sharon said, was immediate emigration to Israel for their own safety.



Even at that time, however, French Jewish leaders denounced Sharon's comments as unfounded, deeming them a misguided swipe at the pro-Arab policies of France's then President Jacques Chirac. Current President Nicolas Sarkozy has made priorities of cultivating strong relations with Israel and fighting anti-Semitism at home — factors that have partially contributed to a slowing of French emigration to Israel. Last year, the number of French Jews moving to Israel was 1,562 — a 33% decline from the 2007 figure, which itself had been down from 2006.



The number of anti-Semitic attacks in France in 2008 dropped for the third straight year, to 397 — even as racist acts directed at other minorities exploded 45% higher. Though the recent violence in Gaza fueled a spate of anti-Jewish aggression in France during December and January, Prasquier is careful to note that "France wasn't unique in this way, because we saw the same kind of action against Jews elsewhere in Europe — notably in England and Belgium."



And as it has done recently in facing up to its darker history under Nazi occupation, France is showing clear intent to confront rather than deny anti-Semitism — as much of the commentary regarding Halimi's murder indicates. French Jews are not ready to claim that anti-Semitism is no longer a problem, but Prasquier says most now do feel that things are moving in the right direction.



"If there ever were any existential fear felt, it is gone today," he says. "There is concern at each new act of anti-Semitism and keen attention paid to how French society reacts to them. Often, we feel reaction in the rest of France is largely in phase with ours."

Re: Arab Helen Thomas, Arab-Palestinians get back to ARABIA where they came from?


"She should lose her job over this," Fleischer said in an email. "As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling."

"She is advocating religious cleansing. How can Hearst stand by her? If a journalist, or a columnist, said the same thing about blacks or Hispanics, they would already have lost their jobs."

Thomas knows that she could never say the blacks should go back to Africa or the Hispanics should go back to Mexico, she would ruin her over-celebrated reputation as the "dean" of the White House press corps.

What if someone would copy this Arab woman Helen Thomas, and had said that the Arab 'Palestinians' should get the heck out of Judea & go back to Arabia?

Not even a Zionist Jew would say that in America announcing that in public, you know why? because the most "moderate" Arab is more racist, far more bigoted and extreme than the most radical Zionist can ever be.

The True Identity of the So-called Palestinians.
The current myth is that these Arabs were long established in "Palestine", until the Jews came and "displaced" them. The fact is, that recent Arab immigration into the Land of Israel displaced the Jews. That the massive increase in Arab population was very recent is attested by the ruling of the United Nations: That any Arab who had lived in the Holy Land for two years and then left in 1948 qualifies as a "Palestinian refugee".

By 1864, a clear-cut Jewish majority emerged in Jerusalem - more than half a century before the arrival of the British Empire and the League of Nations Mandate. During the years that the Jewish presence in Eretz Israel was restored, a huge Arab population influx transpired as Arab immigrants sought to take advantage of higher wages and economic opportunities that resulted from Jewish settlement in the land. President Roosevelt concluded in 1939 that "Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during the whole period."
http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp507.htm

Britain's naval and political reaction to the illegal immigration of Jews to Palestine, 1945-1948, Fritz Liebreich, Routledge, 2005, ISBN 0714656372, 9780714656373, [p. 30]

The Determinants of British Policy... Matters improved with the departure of Lieutenant General Sir Louis Bols on 30 May 1920, the ending of the military adminidstration and the appointment of Sir Samuel as the first British High Commisioner for Palestine. However, under constant pressure from British pro-Arab spokesmen and officials, relations between Britian and the Jewish Zionists deteriorated steadily.
A Very good exaple of virtuallly general anti-Zionist bias of successsive British mandatory adiminstrations would be the virtual continuation of the Ottoman policy of supporting or at least condoning non-Jewish illegal [p. 31] immigration to Palestine. In contrast to the near universal and general condemntation and confrontation with Jewish illegal immigration.
As a buffer against the Bedouin the Ottomans had already brought the first Circassians from the Caucasus to Palestine in 1878. These truculant habitual warriors had been settled by the Turks as irregular garrisons on the desert fringes, allowing them to occupy and cultivate land, and thus hold back the nomad Arabs, who neither paid tax nor tilled the land at any time. Egyptian immigrants were settled by Ibrahim Pasha in Jaffa, Acre, Nablus and Beisan, Moors and Kurds settled in Safed, while the Arab tribes of the Wulda, Bu Sheille, Lheib and Adwquat, having been defeated in tribal wars and raids, entered Palestine at about the same time as the first Jewish settlers arrived. These Arabs cannot be considered indigenous to the land and neither can the Turks, Kurds, Moors, Algerians, Egyptians and Circassians imported by the Turks as aprotective force. The virtually generally accepted British claim of an overwhelming Arab indigenous population, settled for a thousand years in a crowded Palestine, whe were in danger of being swamped and displaced by the Jews was, therefore, considered by the more extreme Zionists to be a rewriting of history.
Illegal Jewish immigration was always fastidiously reported by successive British administrations, while the very considerable Arab illegal immigration was only addressed when their detection has became flagrant. The British Mandatory authorities whose tasks included recording the comings and goings in Palestine, was occasionally forced to mention the illegal Arab immigration, but only when the battle became too prevalent. The movement was always underestimated, minimised and considered casual:

In addition to increase in recorded immigration, a number of persons are known to enter Palestine illegally from both adjacent and European countries and remain there permanently.
Considerable Arab immigration was indeed proceeding without restriction or record from such areas as Syria, Egypt, Trans-Jordan and Lebanon. There has been some immigration from the surrounding territories, which, since it avoids the frontier controls, is not recorded.
Jewish illegal immigration was minutely detailed and meticulously recorded but all references to Arab illegal immigration were, perhaps deliberately, obscured. The preponderant concentration on the Jewish illegal immigration overwhelemd and negated all record of the parallel Arab traffic.
Tewfik Bey al-Haurani, Governer of the Hauran, was quoted as saying, 'In the last few months from 30,000 to 36,000 Hauranese Syrians have entered Palestine and settled there.'

Who are the Palestinians and who is occupying what?
[...]
The word plesheth meant migratory referring to the migration of the Philistines into the sea coast of Israel. So the Palestinians of 3000 years ago were, in fact, the Philistines. The Philistines were not native to Israel, in fact, as their name implies, they came from somewhere else. Most scholars agree that they came from the Greek Islands, most likely Crete. Obviously, they did not speak Arabic and they were not Semitic like the Jews and Arabs. The Arabs came from guess where?--Arabia.

The Canaanites disappeared from the face of the earth three millennia ago...
Even the Palestinians themselves have acknowledged their association with the region came long after the Jews... Over the last 2,000 years, there have been massive invasions that killed off most of the local people (e.g., the Crusades), migrations, the plague, and other manmade or natural disasters. The entire local population was replaced many times over. During the British mandate alone, more than 100,000 Arabs emigrated from neighboring countries and are today considered Palestinians.

By contrast, no serious historian questions the more than 3,000-year-old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel, or the modern Jewish people's relation to the ancient Hebrews.

"...[the Palestinian Arabs'] basic sense of corporate historic identity was, at different levels, Muslim or Arab or - for some - Syrian; it is significant that even by the end of the Mandate in 1948, after thirty years of separate Palestinian political existence, there were virtually no books in Arabic on the history of Palestine.."

"PALESTINE" - Never an Arab Country
[...]
there was no geopolitical entity called "Palestine," no Arab nation ever set historical roots on this soil and no national claim was ever made to the territory by any national group other than the Jews.
[...]
Under the Mandate, the Jewish population continued to grow but while their immigration was progressively restricted, that of Moslems from the surrounding countries (Syria and Jordan) was completely free. As a result, attracted by the Jewish development of the country, the Moslem population increased rapidly and had attained majority by 1947. Palestinian Arabs Never a Nation "Palestinian" Arab nationalism today is a product of recent political and religious currents. Until the 1920's no such national community had even existed in "Palestine". This is why both the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations Mandate charged the Jews of the National Home with guaranteeing the civil and religious rights of other inhabitants. No mention was made of other national rights of other inhabitants, as it was recognized that the only national claim to the area was that made by the Jews.

The True Identity of the So-called Palestinians

In this essay I would like to present the true origin and identity of the Arab people commonly known as "Palestinians", and the widespread myths surrounding them. This research is intended to be completely neutral and objective, based on historic and archaeological evidences as well as other documents, including Arab sources, and quoting statements by authoritative Islamic personalities.
There are some modern myths -or more exactly, lies- that we can hear everyday through the mass-media as if they were true, of course, hiding the actual truth. For example, whenever the Temple Mount or Jerusalem are mentioned, it is usually remarked that is "the third holy place for muslims", but why it is never said that is the FIRST Holy Place for Jews? It sounds like an utterly biased information!

In order to make this essay better comprehensible, it will be presented in two units:
·1) Myths and facts concerning the origin and identity of the so-called Palestinians;
·2) Myths and facts regarding Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.

I - Origin and identity of the so-called Palestinians
Palestinians are the newest of all the peoples on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in a single day by a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is unique in the whole history of mankind, as it is witnessed by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist that acknowledged the lie he was fighting for and the truth he was fighting against:
"Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?" "We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag". "When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out".
This declaration by a true "Palestinian" should have some significance for a sincerely neutral observer. Indeed, there is no such a thing like a Palestinian people, or a Palestinian culture, or a Palestinian language, or a Palestinian history. There has never been any Palestinian state, neither any Palestinian archaeological find nor coinage. The present-day "Palestinians" are an Arab people, with Arab culture, Arabic language and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came into the Land of Israel about one century ago to contrast the Jewish immigration. That is the historical truth. They were Jordanians (another recent British invention, as there has never been any people known as "Jordanians"), and after the Six-Day War in which Israel utterly defeated the coalition of nine Arab states and took legitimate possession of Judea and Samaria, the Arab dwellers in those regions underwent a kind of anthropological miracle and discovered that they were Palestinians - something they did not know the day before. Of course, these people having a new identity had to build themselves a history, namely, had to steal some others' history, and the only way that the victims of the theft would not complain is if those victims do no longer exist. Therefore, the Palestinian leaders claimed two contradictory lineages from ancient peoples that inhabited in the Land of Israel: the Canaanites and the Philistines. Let us consider both of them before going on with the Palestinian issue.
http://www.imninalu.net/myths-pals.htm

The Myth Of The Palestinian People - The answer is that the myth of the Palestinian People serves as the justification for Arab occupation of the Land of Israel. While the Arabs already possess 21 sovereign countries of their own (more than any other single people on earth) and control a land mass 800 times the size of the Land of Israel, this is apparently not enough for them. They therefore feel the need to rob the Jews of their one and only country, one of the smallest on the planet. Unfortunately, many people ignorant of the history of the region, including much of the world media, are only too willing to help.

The Smoking Gun: Arab Immigration into Palestine, 1922-1931 - Middle East Quarterly.
http://www.meforum.org/article/522

In the early 19th century, Palestine was a backward, neglected province of the Ottoman Empire. Travelers to Palestine from the Western world left records of what they saw there. The theme throughout their reports is dismal: The land was empty, neglected, abandoned, desolate, fallen into ruins.

In Jerusalem, all reports and journals of travelers, pilgrims and government representatives during these years, repeatedly record the poverty, filth and neglect and the desolate nature of the countryside. Early photographs show lepers in rags and dilapidated buildings. Jerusalem was surrounded by marauding bands of Bedouin Arabs and had to close her gates at nightfall and reopen them at first light, a practice that was similar in Biblical times.

Some quotes from the writings of these visitors before modern times:

Nothing there [Jerusalem] to be seen but a little of the old walls which is yet remaining and all the rest is grass, moss and weeds. [English pilgrim in 1590]

The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population. [British consul in 1857]

There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent [valley of Jezreel] -- not for 30 miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. ... For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee ... Nazareth is forlorn ... Jericho lies a moldering ruin ... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds ... a silent, mournful expanse ... a desolation ... We never saw a human being on the whole route ... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country ... Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery Palestine must be the prince. The hills barren and dull, the valleys unsightly deserts [inhabited by] swarms of beggars with ghastly sores and malformations. Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes ... desolate and unlovely ...

http://primerct.blogspot.com/2007/06/mahmoud-abbas-admits-palestinian-arabs.html

On a visit to the Ottoman-controlled Holy Land in 1860, Mark Twain described it as "the prince of desolation." "The hills are barren... the valleys unsightly deserts... peopled by swarms of beggars struck with ghastly sores and malformations... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... only the music of angels could charm its shrubs and flowers again into life."

Other writers and artists visiting the Holy Land (chiefly from Britain and Germany) — as well as geographers, archeologists, and cartographers — were equally stunned by its utter desolation.

It was only toward the end of the 18th century, when a growing stream of Jewish immigrants rehabilitated the land — draining swamps, reclaiming deserts, and controlling the diseases (chiefly malaria) — that a decimated Arab population began increasing. The resuscitation of the land by the Jews and the economic opportunity they created brought an influx of Arab immigrants from dirt-poor neighboring Arab states to swell the number of Arabs in Palestine, so that by the turn of the century there were about 250,000 Arab Muslims and 150,00 Jews living there. 100,000 Christians and others

It was in fact British colonial machinations that turned initial Arab acceptance of a Jewish homeland in British-protected Palestine into unmitigated and disastrous hostility. British behavior in the Middle East in general, and in Palestine in particular, was common colonial practice: divide and rule. In India, it enabled the British to subdue the subcontinent with few troops by pitting hostile segments of the indigenous population against each other. They employed this strategy in Palestine too.

From the very first days of the mandate, a group of very influential British officials in the Colonial and the War Offices, who wanted to maintain control over the land and to prevent the establishment of an independent Jewish national home, started undermining their government's efforts to fulfill its obligation toward the Jews. These British officials, many of them avowed anti-Semites, fanned Arab resentment over broken British promises to make the Arabian chieftain, Faisal, king of Damascus and Syria, and redirected it against Jewish aspirations in Palestine.

Indeed, their naming the mandate over the Holy Land "Palestine," rather than the land of Israel, was a deliberate effort to obliterate the Jewish connection to the land by calling it by its Roman name. They also, in 1923, unilaterally removed from the original mandatory area all the land east of the Jordan River-75 percent of the territory promised to the Jews — and gave it to the Emir Abdullah of Arabia, Faisal's brother, in compensation to the Hashemite family for other broken promises. They did so despite objections from the League of Nations. The small area that had been designated as a home for the Jews was thus reduced to a mere sliver.

A distinct Palestinian Arab nationalism evolved only after the dream of an Arab Syrian kingdom — the brainchild of T. E. Lawrence — was shattered when the French evicted his protégé, the Emir Faisal, from Damascus in 1920. Only then did the South Syrian Arabs living under Britain's Palestine mandate separate themselves from Syria and start defining themselves as Palestinians. The process was accelerated by their growing negative reaction to the League of Nations' designation of Palestine as a Jewish national home.

The British helped make hostility to Zionism the defining issue of local Arab politics, and assisted in its exploitation as a lethal weapon in bloody Arab inter-clan struggles for dominance. Muslim clerics and Arab effendis exploited hostility against the Jews, always convenient scapegoats, to deflect the rage of their destitute, exploited people.

The British appointed an extremely radical upstart politician, Hajj Amin al-Hussieni, with a record of violence and incitement, as chief mufti of Jerusalem. They gave him the authority of a spiritual leader to the Arabs, and control of the considerable funds and properties managed by Muslim religious trusts. The mufti promptly proceeded to exploit these resources for his nefarious campaign against the Jews and against his Arab opponents — much as Arafat...

PALESTINIAN FALLACY

by Judah Tzoref

The verbal Jihad legitimizes all means of demagogical rhetoric, spiced with shameless deception, just as the military Jihad legitimizes all forms of atrocious terrorism to undermine the existence of Israel. In both pursuits, the intent is to advance the "holy" cause of denying the Jewish heritage. Pursuing the "glorious" tradition of verbal Jihad, some fervent advocates of the Palestinian cause contract 4,000 years of the unique Jewish bond with the Land of Israel to merely 500 hundred years of past Jewish kingdoms.

The continuity of Jewish predominance within the Land of Israel was interrupted only by the Islamic conquest [1]. The Islamic occupation successfully accomplished ethnic cleansing of the Jewish community through displacement, expropriation and forced inundation of the Land of Israel by Arab immigrants (a proven historical fact). All historical, scientific and non-Jihadic findings attest to the predominant Jewish existence in the Land of Israel over 2,500 years (since Abraham up to the ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Islamic occupation).

DEVILISH OF ANTI-SEMITISM - THE HATRED THAT NEVER HAS A REASON

DEVILISH OF ANTI-SEMITISM - THE HATRED THAT NEVER HAS A REASON

Unlike any other form of bigotry that is usually based on a REASON (for example: anti Muslim is because of their global violence), anti-Jew'ism (anti-Semitism) is a hidden deep UNEXPLAINED hatred that can only be defined as a push by the devil / dark force (history shows that anti Jewish movements was always anti humanity - as proven towards their end), since no matter what a Jew does he will be disliked by the anti-Jew bigot,

Which is why anti-Jew'ism has been "able" so quickly to change its tone, to adapt to any "environment", from Communists to anti communists, from anti-socialists to socialists, from fanatical Christians to anti Christians today...
Which is why any Jew will be hated from the moment he is born before he will be: Religious or not, Zionist or not, political or not, actually the Jew is "doomed" by the bigots already before he start his/her life.

Because it's never WHAT the Jew does.

Before the European Jews returned to their original homeland (Israel / "Palestine") they were told by anti-Semites in Europe 'go back to Israel/Palestine - where you came from,' when the Jews got already there, those that continue this hateful 'tradition' changed 360 degrees that 'no!' Jews can't go back to their roots, that they have no "right" (or that dreadful policy of putting quotas on Jewish immigration but not on Arab immigrants in the early 1900s).

Even Hitler-ism that was build on so called "racial purity" - supremacy, yet, it didn't make sense even according to his 'ideology' as stupid as it was/is - the amazing inconsistency, take for examples the following: Hitler, the Nazis (eve though they have regarded the Arabs also as "inferior race", yet) supported the 'brown' Arab Mufti Haj Amin Al-Husseini as far as their war on any Jews, be 'brown' or blond & blue eyed.
By the same token this very infamous Mufti had his Bosnian Muslim "impure" troops as SS committing heinous crimes against the Christian WHITE Serbs... in Yugoslavia.

The sudden "flexibility" of Nazis shows again the unexplained anti-Jewish hatred that goes far beyond putting into any words, it annuls any reasoning or argument that they tell you supposedly "why" they hate.

The sad part of Islam today is that it couldn't get any positivism out of Christians tradition besides adopting old stupid refuted libels on the Jews, while Christian have moved on and improved by far, Islam has been going all backwards, more and more."

(3 Years to) MUSLIMS' FACSIST GANG ATTACK ON ILAN HALIMI - QURANIC TORTURE

(3 Years to) MUSLIMS' FACSIST GANG ATTACK ON ILAN HALIMI - QURANIC TORTURE

MUSLIMS' FACSIST GANG ATTACK ON ILAN HALIMI
The Shocking unimaginable Torture for weeks (to the sound of reciting the Quran...) and murder by a gang of (about) 30 Muslims called the "Barbarians" [with additional "drop in" Muslim friends that happily participated in the torture] of the young french Jew Ilan Halimi (seduced by a Muslim prostitute sent by the gang to get into a trap).





The grisly murder of Ilan Halimi should concern the entire Jewish world.


The highest echelons of the French government -- led by President Jacques Chirac and Premier Dominique DeVillepin -- went out of their way Thursday night to express sympathy and solidarity with their country's Jews, following the torture and murder of Ilan Halimi. Their attendance of memorial services at Paris's Victoire Synagogue for the 23-year-old victim constituted the most unequivocal and authoritative admission that Halimi fell prey to a horrid hate crime.


The knee-jerk inclination of French officialdom, however, was refusal to categorize this as an anti-Semitic homicide. Initially there even was reluctance to note the Jewish identity of the victim.


The discovery of the dying Halimi near rail tracks in the Paris suburb of St. Genevieve on February 13 sent shock waves throughout France. The cell phone salesman was found handcuffed, gagged, battered, slashed and with burns over most of his naked body. He had obviously been tortured to death.


The interrogation of the since-apprehended gang, which abducted and then for three weeks held Halimi for ransom -- before, as French police report, dousing him with flammable liquid and setting him alight -- indicated that greed wasn't the sole motive.


A pretty young woman lured Halimi from the store in which he was employed. He was kept naked, bound and hooded, subjected throughout to gruesome torments. The kidnappers, who demanded ransom, were told that the family was far from wealthy. They replied that funds be elicited "from the synagogue," because "all Jews are rich." The French-Arab and African-Muslim ringleaders also recited verses from the Koran in their communications with the family.


French interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy confirmed that the perpetrators "were convinced that 'Jews have money'... That's called anti-Semitism by conflation." He added that four of six persons the same gang attempted to capture were also Jews.


Sarkozy revealed that some suspects possessed extreme Islamic and pro-Palestinian literature and documents. What they confessed to the police further confirmed the apprehension that Halimi was subjected to barbaric abuse because he was a Jew.


The grisly attack came at a time in which some French higher-ups boasted that they had beaten back the anti-Semitic tide that accompanied the 2000 intifada. Indeed the French government oversaw a dramatic drop in anti-Jewish incidents. Reportedly the number of anti-Semitic assaults in France for 2005 is 47% below that of 2004. In this respect the French approach and record is better than that of other European states.


But this clearly isn't the whole story. Physical attacks are only one expression of the distress experienced by French Jews, many of whom live in close proximity to Muslim immigrants (estimated at 12% of the population). Jewish children in public schools are frequently bullied by Arab classmates. It's almost impossible to teach the Holocaust in schools with large Arab/Muslim student bodies.


In certain urban French neighborhoods it's risky for Jews to wear skullcaps. Many French Muslims regard local Jews, their houses of worship and communal institutions fair game in their attempts to wreak vengeance on Israel. This indeed is something for Israelis to ponder. The Jewish state's enemies often consider all Jews legitimate targets, as the 1994 blast in Buenos Aires's AMIA Jewish Community Center (which claimed 86 lives) demonstrated on a tragic scale.


France was late in combating the "collective punishment" meted by some Muslims on their Jewish neighbors. It first turned a blind eye to numerous anti-Semitic outbreaks, insisting that "there is no anti-Semitism in France." Jews were essentially requested not to bother the authorities.


Official downplaying of rampant anti-Semitism between 2000-2003 left deep emotional scars in the Jewish community. The Halimi murder and the initial disinclination to treat it as a hate crime reopened many old wounds. DeVillepin promised "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" about the crime that alarmed France's Jews. He will have to convince them, but not only them.


Anti-Semitism in Paris isn't just an internal French matter. It should concern all of us in the Jewish state. We mustn't be wary of speaking up lest we offend French sensibilities. Ariel Sharon didn't shrink a few years back from calling on French Jews to make aliya. Our government's concern over the Halimi murder should be conveyed directly to the French government at the highest levels, and our solidarity more emphatically shown with the embattled French Jewish community.

The Murder of Ilan Halimi
Tuesday, March 07, 2006
...Little by little, information emerged about the crime. There were at least fifteen thugs, maybe more. They had used a girl to seduce Halimi into the trap where he was captured. They knew he was a Jew and they had chosen him for that reason. In his pocket they found the phone number of a rabbi and he was the first person they called, telling him: "We have a Jew. The family has to pay. If the family cannot pay, it will be the synagogue." In succeeding days, they called the rabbi again, howling sentences full of hatred. Later, they called the family, asking for $600,000, before lowering the price to $5,000. They spoke to the mother, to Halimi’s sisters, uncle, and father. When they were not asking for money, they were reciting suras from the Quran. In some of the conversations it was possible to hear Halimi screaming in the background. The thugs sent a videotape showing the young man naked, humiliated, handcuffed, just like on a Zarqawi videos from Iraq. ..
During the last ten weeks, the people who tortured and killed Ilan Halimi had tried unsuccessfully to kidnap four other Jews..
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=609AC68E-E190-4749-A7E8-CF30DF89AF58

... Barbarians seemed an appropriate name. The shocking cruelty inflicted on Halimi seemed to have little to do with efforts to extract money from his anguished family. It evoked the sadistic moral universe of A Clockwork Orange, the novel by Anthony Burgess, with a dose of anti-semitism thrown in.
Thanks to Yalda's charms, Halimi was imprisoned and tortured with acid and cigarette burns for more than three weeks in the heart of a council estate.
More than 30 neighbours in the building knew what was happening but said nothing about the crime, part of a worrying wave of attacks against Jews all over the country.
Besides Yalda, several women have been arrested in an investigation into their role in botched efforts to lure other Jewish men into "honey traps".

"He wanted a Jew," a girl called Audrey told police, referring to Youssouf Fofana, the charismatic leader of the Barbarians, who was listed by the girls in their telephone directories as "Youssouf the barbarian".
His choice of victims was based on two anti-semitic myths: that Jews are all rich and that they stick together. "They're a big community," Fofana told Audrey. "United and willing to pay."

The murder of Ilan Halimi-Commentary
by Melanie Philips February 24, 2006

As if the kidnap, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi near Paris wasn't bad enough, the way it has been dealt with and reported has graphically illustrated what can only be described as a pathological refusal within Europe to acknowledge the fact that French Jews are being attacked and murdered by Muslims in a kind of rolling pogrom. Ilan Halami was a Jew. He was... kidnapped and murdered because he was singled out as a Jew for this fate. A number of recent kidnappings have taken place of which the vast majority of victims have been Jews and their kidnappers Muslims. As Nidra Poller has reported in the Wall Street Journal [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB114064452021880485.html]:
...
the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Quran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background. The family has publicly criticized the police for deliberately ignoring the explicit anti-Semitic motives, which were repeatedly expressed and should have dictated an entirely different approach to the case from the start. Police searches have now revealed the presence of Islamist literature in the home of at least one of the gang members. The highest echelons of the French government are now preoccupied with the murder of Ilan Halimi. Paris is well aware that the case threatens France's international reputation, but far more than that is at stake. Once again, as in the suburban riots of 2005, the country is forced to come face to face with the criminalized, alienated and racist Muslim youth and their adult enablers in its midst. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin declared, in a long speech delivered at the annual dinner of the CRIF, that this heinous crime was anti-Semitic, and that anti-Semitism is not acceptable in France
http://www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=236

according to reports in the French press, some of the suspects in police custody said that they tortured Ilan with particular cruelty simply because he was Jewish.
No longer able to deny or play down the racial motive, the investigation is entering a new phase. One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang, who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture.
Ilan's uncle Rafi Halimi told reporters that the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background. The family has publicly criticized the police for deliberately ignoring the explicit anti-Semitic motives, which were repeatedly expressed and should have dictated an entirely different approach to the case from the start. Police searches have now revealed the presence of Islamist literature in the home of at least one of the gang members.

Halimi's recent murder is only now being recognized in France as a racist hate crime. While the delay in such recognition needs to be addressed, the French are finally beginning to acknowledge that such offences are being perpetrated in France and must not be explained away or ignored - for the good of the country as a whole.

Father of Ilan Halimi describes kidnapping ordeal

The story of Ilan Halimi's murder at the hands of a terrorist gang of French Muslims brings to the surface the various pathologies now converging to make the prospect of annihilating all Jews seem possible to our enemies. First, there are the murderers who took such apparent pleasure and felt such pride in the fact that for 20 days they tortured their Jewish hostage to death.
This makes sense. Anti-Semitism in the Muslim dominated suburbs of Paris and other French cities is all-encompassing. As Nidra Poller related in Thursday's Wall Street Journal, "One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang [of kidnappers], who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture."
It appears that Ilan Halimi's murderers had some connection to Hamas. Tuesday, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said that police found propaganda published by the Palestinian Charity Committee or the CBSP at the home of one of the suspects. The European Jewish Press reported this week that Israel has alleged that the organization is a front group for Palestinian terrorists and that in August 2003 the US government froze the organization's US bank accounts, accusing it of links with Hamas.

A Follow-up attack?

Jewish teen tortured in French town where Ilan Halimi was killed
06/03/2008
The incident of brutal abuse began at 10 A.M. on February 22. Mathieu Roumi, 19, whose father is Jewish, was strolling through his neighborhood in the Paris suburb of Bagneux, which has been the site of violent riots by immigrants in the past two years. The suburb became notorious as the scene of Ilan Halimi's 2006 murder, which horrified France.
...after which they beat him and, with the help of a third friend, dragged him to a dark basement. The three assailants were joined by three other youths, all neighborhood residents and neighbors of Roumi.
For two hours the attackers tortured the young man. One shoved cigarette butts into his mouth, another took issue with Roumi's Jewish origin, grabbed correction fluid and scrawled "dirty Jew" on his forehead. The six men proceeded to scream at him and threaten that he would die the way Halimi did.
They identified themselves as members of the "Barbarians," the same gang that kidnapped Halimi from his store, demanded ransom for his release, and when that was not forthcoming, tortured the 23-year-old over the course of three weeks. Moments after he was dumped on the street, Halimi died. ...
"We admire Youssouf Fofana!" they shouted at him, referring to the leader of the gang that murdered Halimi. Fofana and 29 other suspects are on trial for abduction, torture and murder. If convicted, they can expect a life sentence.
...the six assailants were arrested. Most are in their 20s, two come from Muslim homes...
