After three boys were indicted for the rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a Paris suburb, French President Emmanuel Macron again spoke out against hatred of Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n

At a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Macron \u201cspoke solemnly and seriously about the scourge of antisemitism\u201d and called for a \u201cdialogue\u201d on racism and hatred of Jews in schools to prevent \u201chateful speech with serious consequences\u201d from \u201cinfiltrating\u201d classrooms,\u00a0AFP\u00a0<\/em>cited a source as saying.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boys, two aged 13 and one 12, were arrested on Monday and\u00a0indicted<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 13-year-olds were charged with gang rape, antisemitic insults and violence and issuing death threats. They remain in custody.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 12-year-old was charged with antisemitic insults and violence and issuing death threats, but not with rape. He was allowed to return home after being charged.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, the girl, who had spent the afternoon with friends, was crossing Henri Regnault Park in Courbevoie, when she came across two boys, one of whom she vaguely knew. (Part of the La D\u00e9fense business district spreads over the southern part of Courbevoie.)<\/span><\/p>\n

They blocked her way and forced her to follow them to an abandoned daycare center. A third boy joined them and started insulting the girl as a\u00a0\u201cdirty Jew,\u201d the teenagers told police.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the attackers held a lighter next to her face and threatened to burn her. They forced her to perform vaginal, anal and oral sex on them, and threatened to kill her if she told anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afterwards, the girl made her way home and told her parents what had happened. A friend who was with her when the boys took her was able to give a detailed description of the suspects, who police confirmed were at the crime scene through images from security cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attack drew condemnation from across France\u2019s political spectrum amid a heated campaign ahead of snap parliamentary elections later this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon, leader of the far-left\u00a0France Unbowed\u00a0party, denounced \u201cantisemitic racism\u201d in an X post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Far-right leader\u00a0Jordan Bardella\u00a0called to \u201ccombat\u201d the \u201cantisemitism that has swept down on France since October 7.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Another right-wing leader, Marine Le Pen, accused the \u201cextreme left\u201d of stigmatizing Jews over the past eight months \u201cthrough the instrumentalization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
