‘Dirty Jew’ spray painted on Judaica store in France
Owners of the Lyon shop considering returning home from holiday after being sent pictures of the vandalised shop by neighbours
Graffiti reading “Dirty Jew” was spray-painted on the storefront of a Judaica store in the French city of Lyon.
The store was closed at the time of the attack, while its owners were vacationing in Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Neighbours of the stores sent photos of the vandalism to the owners, who now are considering returning to France early in order to file a complaint with police, according to the newspaper.
