Racist motive to French kidnap

[Atlas]

A young Jewish man who died after being kidnapped and tortured may have been the victim of an anti-Semitic attack, French officials say.

Seven people are under investigation for kidnapping and "murder linked to the victim's religion".

Justice Minister Pascal Clement said one of the suspects had made it clear he attacked had Ilan Halimi "because he was Jewish, and Jews are rich".

The 23-year-old died on the way to hospital last week.

In a case that has shocked France, the phone salesman was discovered naked, bound and gagged, and covered in burns near the Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois train station near Paris.

State prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin had previously ruled out anti-Semitism, saying that the suspects were unemployed and motivated by money.

Ransom demands

On Monday, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin told an annual meeting of Jewish community leaders that the judge handling the case was investigating leads pointing to an anti-Semitic attack.

"We will do everything we can to arrest the authors of this barbarous crime and bring them to justice," he added.

Jewish community leader Roger Cukierman urged the government to "provide the whole truth" about the case.

Halimi went missing on 21 January after a date with an unknown woman, who approached him at his workplace in central Paris. He is thought to have been held on a housing estate in Bagneux, in the Paris suburbs.

The young man's kidnappers sent a 400,000 euro (£273,500; $475,000) ransom demand in e-mails and text messages to his family, which they were unable to raise.

The sum later dropped to 5,000 euros, after which the gang broke off contact.

The same gang is believed to have attempted six other kidnappings since the end of last year.

Fifteen people, aged 17 to 32, were arrested last week in connection with Halimi's death, but five have since been released.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Yussef Fofana, said to be the gang leader, and two women believed to have acted as bait for kidnap targets.

This piece of shit gangleader should be beaten into an inch of his life, castrate their penis and dip it into acid before their very eyes and then have the blood sucked out of him by a bunch of leeches. Criminal scum like this are lower than shit.

What are the chances this incident will be used to further harass genuine French nationalists?

Pretty high. The French police would much prefer to serve warrants on a retired actress in her downtown apartment rather than tiptoe around an Algerian ghetto trying to find a band of ruthless thugs.

Why does it matter? Neither people involved were french. One was a jewish parasite, one was an algerian immigrant.

Please allow me to rectify : He was from Ivory Coast. But still muslim and with a bad influence on his neighborhood in France I guess.
He fled to Ivory Coast about 3 or 4 days ago just before his photo was published, not sure if we will catch up him in this shithole but you're right : We got rid of a jew, and a nigger muslim. No one is going to give a shit about that waste around here.

The jew was a native and not opposed to French culture... the raghead black was an invader and a muslim.

Lower than shit? Of course! Yet, somehow I still think you're being too nice.

at least you can point out the black in the crowd, the jew bastard can blend in more easily. Whatever problems the black immigrants offer, they are all surface problems. Murder, robbery, rape, etc. Jews infiltrate and destroy the infrastructure, which is far more dangerous. Attacking the black immigrant is only attacking the symptom IMO.

Obviously, this one should be brought to justice.

The case seems to be hotting up.

The police are now being criticised for downplaying the anti-semitic nature of the murder because of fear of re-igniting Muslim violence.

Jews claim police hid killers' motive to appease ghetto

The Times, February 22, 2006.
From Charles Bremner in Paris


THE torture and murder of a young Jewish man in Paris triggered outrage among Jewish leaders yesterday as the Government sought to prevent the affair from inflaming emotions in the Muslim-dominated housing estates of France.
Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister, and his ministers promised that justice would be done after the parents of Ilan Halimi, 23, who was held captive for three weeks on an immigrant estate, accused the police of playing down the anti-Semitic motives of his kidnappers.

Voicing the anger felt among the Jewish population, Radio Shalom, a station in Paris, said that M Halimi had “been made to pay for the (Danish) cartoons of Muhammad and Abu Ghraib”, the prison where US forces tortured Iraqi captives.

M Halimi, who worked in a telephone shop, died shortly after being found ten days ago naked and bound on a suburban roadside. Police denied any racial aspect in the kidnapping and ransom demands, but on Monday investigators added racial hatred to the kidnapping and murder charges that six men and a woman in police custody are facing.

...

M de Villepin was reported yesterday to have reprimanded Pascal Clément, the Justice Minister, for quoting one of the accused kidnappers as saying M Halimi had been abducted “because he was Jewish, and Jews are rich”. His discretion reflects official fear of stirring the anger that drove thousands of young men from Muslim-dominated estates to a frenzy of fire-bombing last autumn.

Exactly. While blacks commit petty thievery and murder, jews are becomming lawyers, doctors, and bankers swaying laws, science, and international monetary relations.

Which one is more dangerous in the long term, emperor palpastein?

The gang leader has been arrested by the Ivory Coast police tonight.

He will probably be send to France in a few days.

Kidnap, ransoms, threats, torture, anti-semitism and murder, I think he is gonna spend quite some years in jail now.

For a jew, not the sharpest knife in the drawer it doesn't sound like. A nigger or other type of mud woman I am assuming?

They probably would have done the same thing to a white person. It probably doesn't have much to do with him being a jew as much as it has to do with them being thugs. "jews have money" and they wanted it and decided in nigger fashion to fuck with him a little first.

But, of course, the jews are always looking for the anti-semite behind every tree.

This piece of shit gangleader should be beaten into an inch of his life, castrate their penis and dip it into acid before their very eyes and then have the blood sucked out of him by a bunch of leeches.

LOL.

They never do loose a step do they? Trying to paint this as either a problem stemming from the white man's bigotry or Islam. What in the world does a few thugs who kidnap a rich jew have to do with the Muhammed cartoons or Abu Ghraib? If they just happen to be Muslims, that doesn't mean shit. Muslims motivated by anger over this shit don't seem like the type that would be shy exactly about stating that.

Apparently, the girl who approached him was a young arab, probably quite cute if he gave her his phone number and accepted to see her again.

However, I can't understand why a jew wouldn't be more careful, especially being hit on by an arab girl who already wants to meet him in private after seeing him for the first time... like if she fell in love ? Something is wrong in this story. I guess we don't know everything yet.

But anyways, that's true, many jews are lawyers, doctors, dentists, university teacher or working in medias - but not all - there are quite some jews who have an "average job" too. Like the one who has been killed. He was just employee of a shop in a mall, nothing special.
