An Israeli family visiting Paris was denied service at a hotel after an attendant noticed their Israeli passports, continuing a\u00a0record spike in antisemitism across France<\/a>\u00a0that has increasingly led to violence against the Jewish community.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the French magazine\u00a0Le Point<\/i>, the Israeli family of three intended to spend three nights in Paris. Although they had booked their Novotel Paris\u00a0Porte de Versailles hotel room online, an attendant informed the family, after seeing their Israeli passports, that the price of the room had increased.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe completely changed face,\u201d the father said in a complaint to French authorities, according to the publication.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he saw that I had an Israeli passport, he told me that the room would cost 1,219 Euros in the end; he increased the price voluntarily,\u201d the father continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attendant also allegedly hurled antisemitic accusations at the family, including, \u201cIsrael, you think you are kings of the world; you will not have a room in this hotel!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The family was turned away from the hotel at 1:30 am and forced to stay elsewhere.\u00a0The attendant \u201ctreated us with contempt and racism,\u201d the father said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accor, the group that manages Novotel, offered the family compensation after their poor treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The incident came amid a spike in antisemitism to record levels across France.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an especially egregious attack that has garnered international headlines, a\u00a012-year-old Jewish girl was raped<\/a>\u00a0by three Muslim boys in a Paris suburb on June 15, according to the French authorities. The child told investigators that the assailants called her a \u201cdirty Jew\u201d and hurled other antisemitic comments at her during the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

The three alleged attackers were arrested by French police two days after the rape. Two of them were indicted for gang rape, death threats, antisemitic violence, attempted extortion, and invasion of privacy. The third boy was charged as a witness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the attack,\u00a0French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a>\u00a0\u201cdenounced the scourge of antisemitism\u201d overtaking French society and spoke of the need to combat hatred of Jews in schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The parents of the girl agreed to speak anonymously with the French newspaper\u00a0Le Parisien<\/i>\u00a0in an interview that was published on Monday. They described the attack as a \u201cmimicry\u201d of Hamas\u2019 sexual violence against Israeli girls and women during the Palestinian terrorist group\u2019s onslaught across southern Israel on Oct. 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rape in France reportedly occurred after the assailants discovered that the victim was Jewish. \u201cWhy did you lie? I know you are not Muslim. So what religion are you?\u201d the boys yelled at her before the attack, according to her parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the girl\u2019s mother, \u201cbefore they let her leave, they made her swear by Allah not to tell her parents or police.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The assault was antisemitic and motivated by the war in Gaza, her parents told\u00a0Le Parisien<\/i>.\u00a0\u201cThis incident is a sign of a collective social failure in the fight against antisemitism and extreme violence,\u201d they said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jewish children were also targeted in another Paris suburb this past weekend. On Saturday,\u00a0six Jewish minors were assaulted at a movie theater in the suburb of Levallois-Perret. According to reports, three assailants yelled antisemitic slurs at the minors and \u201cslapped one of them several times,\u201d before the victims fled toward Jerusalem Square in the French capital\u2019s 17th arrondissement, where they filed a police complaint. French police are investigating the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI condemn the physical attack of antisemitic nature in which several young minors were victims,\u201d\u00a0Geoffroy Boulard, mayor of the 17th arrondissement, wrote on X\/Twitter in response to the assault.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recent antisemitic attacks came amid a\u00a0record surge of antisemitism in France<\/a>\u00a0in the wake of Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel. Antisemitic incidents\u00a0rose by over 1,000 percent<\/a>\u00a0in the final three months of 2023 compared with the previous year, with over 1,200 incidents reported \u2014 greater than the total number of incidents in France for the previous three years combined.<\/span><\/p>\n
