French pensioner gets jail term for anti-Semitic graffiti
Saturday, 18 November 2023
France, where over 1,500 anti-Semitic acts and comments have been recorded since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, has slapped an 18-month jail term on a pensioner for anti-Jewish graffiti. The 62-year-old man was found guilty Friday by a Strasbourg court of inciting racial hatred in the eastern city near the German border. Strasbourg has one of France's biggest Jewish communities. "It's an exemplary decision ..(to punish) hate messages," said lawyer Raphael Nisand, who represented the city's tram company whose property was defaced.
