French police opened an investigation Monday after suspected members of an extremist group marched through a Jewish quarter in central Paris shouting anti-Semitic slogans over the weekend.
Shoppers in the historic Marais neighbourhood, one of the busiest districts in the Jewish area of Paris, were left in shock early Sunday evening after a group of extremists terrorized community members with anti-Semitic verbal abuse.
More than 20 men claiming to be members of the Tribu-Ka anti-white group walked up and down the crowded Rue des Rosiers shouting at the families and youths in the area.
The French Office of Vigilance against anti-Semitism (BNCVA) said in a statement the gang was "performing Nazi salutes, looking for a fight with the neighbourhood's Jews, threatening and intimidating them."
"We are in contact with the Interior Ministry and the police department over the matter," the head of the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (CRCIF), Roger Cukierman, said.
"They screamed out 'Death to Jews!'" one witness, who would only give his name as Julien, told EJP.
"They told us they weren't Arabs and that they would 'kosherise' us," said a second witness, Stephan, a fifty-year-old butcher from the Panzer delicatessen.
"I've never been more scared in my life," book-salesman David R. added.
Police quickly broke up the march, running identity checks on 19 people, none of whom were armed. Security has been stepped up in the area. Since they committed no apparent offence, police let the men go.....

People should have learnt something from the past and stop blaming and hating each ontherfor all kinds of troubles. The way to peace isnt impossible. intelligence and understanding are required for all human beings! It seems like signals of young racist are not well picked up by society thus all these sick people (racists) can increase if they are not corrected at a young age. The then act in groups and terorize whole neighbourhoods like recently some innocent people were shot in Belgium. The victims weren't Jewish, but these days hate rises towards foreign people due to all kind of circumstances. what can we do about it (anyone some usefull tips?)
