French police – No antisemitic motive to murder of 89-year-old; Jews not convinced.
"The Jewish community has doubts, as René Hadjadj was pushed out a window like the late Sarah Halimi.
French police have ruled out an antisemitic motive in the murder of an 89-year-old Jew in Lyons Tuesday, but the Jewish community has its doubts.
René Hadjadj was thrown over a 17th floor balcony after a dispute with a neighbor. His body was found by the police around 8 p.m.
French media reported that the police have arrested an unnamed 51-year-old suspect who said he pushed Hadjadj after an argument. The elderly man lived on the second floor of the building.
While booking the suspect for intentional homicide, the public prosecutor’s office and police 'mentioned' the possibility that the murder was motivated by Jew-hatred, but then dismissed the idea.
Jewish media outlets as well as posters on social media have questioned whether the authorities are not rushing to this judgement too soon.
The Tribune Juive pointed out that 'the neighborhood in question is part of the Lost Territories,' a term used for areas in French cities that have large immigrant populations that do not acculturate into French society and where violence is prevalent. According to an article by the French Jewish Defense League in Le Monde, the suspect is of Arab-Muslim extraction."
Sadly, throwing elderly Jews out of windows to their deaths seems to be a popular killing method by French Muslims.
