Top French university rocked by antisemitism allegations
|
[IsraelTimes] Sciences Po assailed by government after pro-Paleostinian students blocked Jewish classmate from entering lecture hall because ’she’s a Zionist’
An elite French university on Wednesday was dragged into the national spotlight, when a pro-Paleostinian demonstration sparked accusations of antisemitism.
Sciences Po, founded in 1872, is a hugely influential cornerstone of French elite education and a cradle of political power. Its alumni list features President Emmanuel Macron and several former French and foreign leaders, as well as top names in literature, media, culture and fashion.
Controversy struck the Sciences Po campus after around 100 students occupying the main lecture hall as part of a pro-Paleostinian demonstration on Tuesday were accused of barring entry to a Jewish student and insulting her.
The student — a member of the Union of Jewish Students in La Belle France (UEJF) that claims a national membership of 15,000 — was greeted with shouts of "Don’t let her in, she’s a Zionist," the union said on X, formerly Twitter.
’UNSPEAKABLE AND PERFECTLY INTOLERABLE’
The incident sparked condemnation at the highest level of government, with Macron telling Wednesday’s cabinet meeting that the remarks were "unspeakable and perfectly intolerable."
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said the government would be filing a legal complaint over the incident, warning of an "active and dangerous minority" on campus.
But students on the ground said the government should be more circumspect in its condemnation.
"It’s really sad that unverified information is taken directly to the French president," said one student who declined to be named. "We don’t tolerate any form of antisemitism."
Another student told AFP that the Jewish student had been denied access to the lecture hall because "she previously intimidated pro-Paleostinian students" at the protest.
The student was the only representative of the Jewish student union to be barred from entering.
"Other UEJF members were able to take part in the debates," said the student, who declined to give her name.
La Belle France is home to the world’s largest Jewish population after Israel and the United States, as well as to Europe’s largest Moslem community.
The country has seen a rise in pro-Paleostinian protests since the Paleostinian terror group Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Antisemitic acts in La Belle France have also increased, according to the Council of Jewish Institutions in La Belle France (CRIF).
Holocaust memorial vandalized in Paris suburb of Drancy
[israelTimes] A Holocaust memorial in the Paris suburb of Drancy was vandalized this week, with officials and authorities denouncing the act as antisemitic.
“During the night of Tuesday, March 12 to Wednesday, March 13, damage was caused to the façade of the Shoah [Holocaust] Memorial. An impact from a pellet shot on a window…cracked the glass,” Jacques Witkowski, who represents the state in the administrative division, also known as department, of Seine-Saint-Denis, tells AFP. The incident falls under the department’s jurisdiction.
The Drancy Holocaust memorial was inaugurated in 2012. It commemorates the victims of the Vel d’Hiv round-up in July 1942.
Over the course of two terrifying days, police herded 13,152 Jewish people — including 4,115 children — into the Winter Velodrome of Paris, known as the Vel d’Hiv, before they were sent on to Nazi camps. It was the biggest such roundup in western Europe. The raids were among the most shameful acts undertaken by France during World War II, and among the darkest moments in its history. Drancy held a transit center that was central to French Jews’ deadly journey to Nazi camps. Some 63,000 people were held over the course of the war.
