Jewish journalist gets hate on videotape as he strolls streets of Paris
Jewish journalist gets hate on videotape as he strolls streets of Paris, Days after a gunman in Copenhagen opened fire on a synagogue and a free speech event, killing two, a video uploaded to YouTube shows a Jewish journalist walking around Paris in traditional Jewish garb, secretly recording a barrage of anti-Semitic hatred, threats and epithets -- many from Muslims, including a little boy who asks his hijab-clad mother: "Doesn’t he know he will be killed?"
The video was patterned after a viral video taken by a New York woman in which she captured catcalls, unwelcome flirtations and leering of men around the city. But instead of sexual harassment, Zvika Klein, of the Jewish media outlet NRG, caught threats and epithets from Parisians, including one child.
"What is he doing here Mommy?” a little boy asked his mother, who was wearing a Muslim headscarf, or hijab, as Klein strolled through a public housing neighborhood. “Doesn’t he know he will be killed?"
Older men were recorded telling Klein, "Go f--- from the front and the back," "Viva Palestine" and "Hey you, with the kippa, what are you doing here?"
