| French Muslim jailed for anti-Semitism |
| 2004-01-22 |
| A 24 year-old French Muslim has been sent to jail for six months after being convicted of an anti-Semitic assault on a neighbouring Jewish family. Rabah Zihani threw a stone at members of the Alimi family as they left their home in October and shouted, "Dirty Jew, Hitler did not finish the job," lawyer David Metaxas said on Thursday. "The Alimi have been through hell. For three years the four of them have been targetted with insults and swastikas on their door," said Metaxas. |

| #5 "Dirty Jew, Hitler did not finish the job" Interesting, since they deny the Holocaust ever happened. |

| #4 article says they are also looking at going after inciters note - some of the antisemitic inciters are also attacking the headscarf ban - a genuine change of heart on Chiracs part, or a convenient way to kill 2 birds with one stone - getting people opposing french policy on schools, and also dealing with accusations of antisemitism that are really hurting Frances image abroad (esp in the US) |
