Disturbing video captures ‘proud’ Nazis chanting ‘f–k the Jews’ on Paris metro
Shocking video captured the moment a group of youths hurled antisemitic slurs on the Paris metro – including “F–k the Jews!” and “We are Nazis and proud!”
The clip, which went viral after being shared on social media, shows commuters reacting in disbelief to the vile chants on the train.
“F–k the Jews and f–k your mother … long live Palestine!” the youngsters, whose faces are seen, shout in French. “We are Nazis and proud!”
On Wednesday, French prosecutors launched an investigation into the incident amid a surge in antisemitism since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel and the Jewish state’s military retaliation.
“Shocking, unacceptable, unworthy comments,” Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez said on X, adding that authorities would do everything possible to find those responsible.
There have been 857 antisemitic acts in France since the war began, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said this week, nearly double the number for the whole of 2022.
The incidents include graffiti, physical assaults and even death threats, officials said.
Stars of David have been spray-painted onto buildings in the French capital and its suburbs to mark that Jews are living in them – scenes that are reminiscent of the dark days of the Holocaust.
Outside a stadium in Carcassonne, someone painted: “Killing Jews is a duty.”
Emmanuel Grégoire, deputy to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, said the stars would be removed and an investigation launched.
“Antisemitism continues to kill. We will never give up the fight,” Grégoire said, the BBC reported.
“I am crying, because I am once again seeing the hate that we received when I was a child,” a resident of one of the buildings that was targeted told the French broadcaster BFMTV. “I can’t understand it.”
