Israeli soccer team attacked by Klansmen in France
2002-04-11
  • Amid a spate of recent anti-Semitic attacks in France, a Jewish amateur soccer team was attacked during a training session in a Paris suburb and one of its members seriously hurt, French police said Thursday. Around 15 hooded attackers wielding sticks and metal bars assaulted the team of teenagers from the Maccabi Bondy association, a Jewish group, late Wednesday after making anti-Semitic remarks. One member of the team suffered a cut to the head and received hospital treatment but wasn't thought to be in danger.

    French Sports Minister Marie-George Buffet issued a statement condemning the attack as "indescribable."

    "I am convinced that the young people of France, of whatever opinion and of all origins, will take action to defend the spirit of tolerance and dialogue," Buffet said.
    M.Buffet is plumb full of, how do you say it in French? Merde. Now how would you translate Kristallmonat?
