| [JPost] He chose...poorly 34-year-old Jewish man Eliahou Haddad was allegedly killed by his Muslim roommate in Longperrier. Here's what we know. A 34-year-old Jewish man was allegedly killed by his Muslim roommate in Longperrier, a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in north-central France. The National Bureau of Vigilance against Antisemitism (BNVCA) provided the identity of the man: Eliahou Haddad. "The BNVCA received requests of many correspondents who see information circulating [online] about the murder of a man of Jewish faith, from Djerba in Tunisia and whose family lives in Beer Sheva in Israel," reads a press release form the BNVCA. "The assassination was committed by a suspect of [the] Muslim faith. The concern is heightened by the silence surrounding this case," the organization added, likely referring to the murder so other Jews like Sarah Halimi. "The Crif expresses its full solidarity with the family of Eliahou Haddad, killed on August 19 in Longperrier," Yonathan Arfi, president of the Crif Jewish umbrella organization in France, tweeted. He added that "we hope for information quickly [about the murder] and ask that all possibilities be examined at this stage, including the possibility of the aggravating factor of antisemitism." Some of the reports suggest that he was murdered on August 20, not the 19th. |
