OTD  2006, a 23-year-old French-Moroccan Jew by the name of Ilan Halimi was brutally murdered for simply being Jewish. 

ה׳ יקום דמו 🕯️

His killers, a gang that went by the name of Les Barbares or “the Barbarians”, kidnapped Halimi, held him hostage for 24 days before burning him alive and dumping his body near a train station in the Paris suburb of Saint-Genevieve-de-Bois. Halimi was found alive by a local, still fighting for his life, with 80 percent of his body deformed and disfigured by acid burns, an ear and toe cut off and his genitals mutilated. He died on his way to the hospital. 

During the investigation, key members of the group confessed that they believed that all Jews are rich, which motivated them to target Halimi, although he came from the same lower-class, Parisian suburb as the abductors did. The abductors also threatened the Halimi family to send money from the “Jewish community” and “rabbis” if they could not afford the 450,000 euro ransom. 

This instance of the re-emergence of old antisemitic canards associating Jews with money and power demonstrates the lethality of bigotry towards Jews. 

The aftermath of the Ilan Halimi case unfortunately only gained French national attention. Reactions from the global community were scarce, with only the United States Helsinki Commission holding a briefing recognizing the omnipresence of antisemitism in the modern world. 

While all those directly implicated in the abduction of Halimi were sentenced to heavy dues for their crimes, a Halimi relative quotes, “The important thing for me is not handing out heavier jail terms, honestly. The important thing is to open this to the press and public and make it a learning experience”. Unfortunately, when the world sits silently as Jews are murdered overtly, clearly the world holdsno intention for a lesson to be learned.

The cases of the murder of Mireille Knoll, Sarah Halimi (no relation) and others that followed Ilan Halimi’s serve to prove that lethal antisemitism is very much alive in France today. 

May his memory be a blessing

ILAN HALIMI

Je rentrais de soirée plutôt contente, je venais de rencontrer les copains d'un ami à moi, ils étaient sympas et ils me ramenaient en voiture. Quand le mec a côté de moi, que je venais de rencontrer, commence à parler des juifs. Il dit alors "les juifs ce sont des arnaqueurs, ils se font de l'argent sur le dos de tous le monde. En plus comme ils sont communautaires on a moins de clients car ils reste qu'entre juifs." J'étais à l'arrière coincé entre lui et un inconnu, mon ami, le seul que je connaissais vraiment était assis devant. J'avais peur d'entrer en conflit dans cet endroit clos, mais j'avais une boule au ventre. Il ne s'arrêtait pas. Il continuait de parler de Dieudonné qui ne méritait pas son sort, qu'il avait bien raison, de toute façon. J'étais tellement mal à l'aise. Lui continuait à cœur joie, personne ne l'arrêtait, il commençait à parler des médias, complètement contrôlé par la communauté juive. Tellement contrôlé qu'une certaine affaire a fait plus de bruit qu'elle n'aurait dû, dit il. L'affaire de... Il ne se souvient plus bien, il parle d'un homme torturé.. Puis il me regarde et dis "ah oui il s'appel un truc comme David Halimi je crois". Je n'en pouvais plus. Je lui répondi enfin alors : "ILAN HALIMI, il s'appellait Ilan Halimi". J'avais le souffle court mais j'essayais toujours de faire mine de rien, j'avais vraiment peur de ses réactions, mais je ne pouvais plus me taire. Je lui expliqua que je connaissais bien cet affaire, car en fait ma sœur allait à l'école à côté du magasin de téléphonie ou travaillait Ilan et qu'il avait été assassiné dans ma ville à quelques centaines de mètres de chez moi et j'ai enfin pu lui dire que moi je ne pensais pas que les médias en faisait trop. Alors il a demandé à mon ami en m'ignorant : "elle est juive ?". Mon ami lui répondi : "Non". Il savait très bien que j'étais juive, je ne sais pas vraiment pourquoi il a dit ça.. Me protéger ? En tout cas en partant cet homme, ne m'a pas dit au revoir. Paprika

My last post did not have the attention it should have had, the open letter to the attention of #MireilleKnoll remained silent. 🤫No reaction ! 🤔yet the time is serious, a march against the #AntiSemitism under tension has been improvised but has no echo as for #IlanHalimi, I was present at this march in his memory. The #sky will fall on our heads, I do not think so well, it seems that the fall of the #Chinese #Space station Tiangong-1: what of the #ISS? is imminent. If the #European Space Agency (#ESA) estimated that the "crash" of the station could occur in an area between latitudes 43 ° north and 43 ° south, which includes the #SouthOfFrance, #Corsica and departments #Overseas, and why not here on my #photo! 😉but "Nothing is #less #certain than the #uncertain" said #PierreDac . Expected for several weeks, the entry into the atmosphere of the Tiangong-1 space station, with which any contact has been lost since March 21, 2016, should; in all probability; happen during the #Pascal weekend. #HappyEaster to everyone.🐣🎈🐇😎 🔹 By @BertrandDeparis @VoiceOfThings #BDworld 🔹 #VOTworld 🔹 (à N.A.S.A.

Si j’habitais plus près de Paris, j’y serais. Et vous ? Sur cette histoire Ielles en parlent aussi : Juives et Juifs Révolutionnaires Latifa Ibn Ziaten (oui, la même que d’autres soi-disant républicains choisissent de salir… )

Je n’ai pas vu la communauté juive casser, piller et vandaliser et s’en prenant aux noirs à la suite du massacre du pauvre #IlanHalimi

Islamic antisemitism in France is hitting meteoric levels, thanks to the resurgence of centuries old Catholic and Christian blood libels, magnified by an enormous influx of Muslims, largely from North Africa.

OTD  2006, a 23-year-old French-Moroccan Jew by the name of Ilan Halimi was brutally murdered for simply being Jewish.
