A French journalist took to the streets of Paris wearing a kippah/yarmulke on his head and a tzitzit (knotted ritual tassels). He wanted to see how safe the streets were for Jews… and by the looks of it, it’s not a very pleasant experience.

The shocking hidden camera footage shows antisemitism is rife in the French capital as he is seen harassed and intimidated. As he wanders around neighbourhoods wearing the garments associated with the Jewish faith, he is spat at, threatened and even called a ‘dog’.

Zvika Klein, who is in fact Jewish, was shocked at the results he got.

The further from them [the tourist areas] we walked, the more anxious I became over the hateful stares, the belligerent remarks, and the hostile body language.

Isreal’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a contested comment that there should be a “mass emigration of Jews from Europe to escape the rising tide of antisemitic terror attacks”. He added that “Israel is now the only country in the world where Jews can feel safe”.
