Thousands Protest when French Government Decides Not to Prosecute a Jew-Killing Muslim
Five years after the horrific Charlie Hebdo massacre in France, it looks like the nation has learned nothing. In 2017, a 29-year-old Muslim man named Kobili Traore called the daughter of his Jewish neighbor, Sarah Halimi, a “dirty Jewess.” Halimi was frightened of this man, she told neighbors.
