A Jewish family was robbed and beaten in their home by several men in Paris, authorities say. The attackers reportedly told their victims that Jews “have money” and that they planned to give it to “the poor.”
The incident took place in Livry-Gargan, a northeastern suburb of Paris, on Thursday night, according to French media citing local prosecutors.
Three men, “probably of African origin,” broke into the house of Roger Pinto, the president of the France-based SIONA group, which fights anti-Semitism and advocates for the rights of the Jews, the National Bureau for Vigilance against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) said.
The suspects attacked Pinto’s son and wife, before targeting the head of the family, who rushed to help his family, according to BNVCA.
According to the victims, one of the perpetrators was about 30 years old, while the other two were in their 20s.
While threatening to kill them, the attackers said: “You are Jewish, you have money. We take money from Jews to give to the poor.” The perpetrators then took the family’s jewelry, money, and credit cards, BNVCA said, citing the victims.
According to Israeli media, the family did not alert police about the attack until Friday morning. The victims were transported to the hospital.
“My wife, my son, and I were assaulted. I think it [the attack] was planned. [The intruders] promised to ‘kill us’ if we didn’t give them what they wanted,” Roger Pinto later told i24NEWS channel.
Pinto said that what struck him most was that when his wife told them, “We have nothing to give you,” the attackers replied, “if you are Jewish, you have a lot of money.”

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb expressed “indignation following the violent aggression committed against members of a Jewish family,” a statement from the ministry said on Sunday.
“The motivation behind this cowardly act seems to be directly related to the religion of the victims,” the statement added.
Israeli Ambassador to France Aliza Bin Noun also condemned the attack.
“This odious act is the proof, if need be, that the Jews of France are particularly threatened in the streets and within their homes. This is very worrying,” Francis Kalifat, the president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, said in a statement.
He said that “after the atrocious murder of Sarah Halimi at her home, this new aggression must lead the authorities of our country to a heightened vigilance and exemplary and dissuasive sanctions.”
Sarah Halimi was a 65-year-old Jewish woman who was killed by a Mali citizen in Paris in April. The man, identified as Kada Traore, shouted religious slogans while murdering the woman.
It’s about time..
I guess I’m a horrible person…but I just don’t have a problem with this.
At first I was going to type in an LoL because,hey, Jews getting attacked is funny.
But then I read the article and from what I can tell, the whole thing is made up.
They didn’t go to the hospital until the next morning?
Yeah. It’s a real b-tch getting out of bed in the middle of the night in order to stage a fake attack. Better off waiting til morning. That way everybody can get plenty of sleep.
They couldn’t pick up a phone and call an ambulance? They have ambulances in France.
Maybe the french ambulances only run from 8:30 am until 11:30 pm. Kinda like buses.
The president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France is pissed and says somebody is getting sanctioned.
They don’t know who is getting sanctioned, but there is going to be some sanctioning going on.
I suppose, when they pretend to catch the beater uppers that, from what I can tell don’t exist, they can pretend to sanction them.
He also said,
“This odious act is the proof, if need be, that the Jews of France are particularly threatened in the streets and within their homes. This is very worrying,”
Now see, it’s that “if need be” part that blows the whole con.
when there needs to be some proof and they don’t have any, well, they’ll just make it up like they always do. Proof? I haven’t seen proof of anything.
Which hospital did they got to? B’nai B’rith Schlomo Memorial?
This entire story stinks and I don’t believe a word of it and neither should anyone else.
I have no problem with jews getting what has been coming to them, chickens come home to roost you know.
To take or steal without trial? I’ll have no part in it………..
“The motivation behind this cowardly act seems to be directly related to the religion of the victims,” the statement added.”
Sorry, but I have ZERO sympathy for Satan’s minions.
Whatever wealth they have was stolen from the ‘goyim’, one way or another.
Of that you can be sure.
