Over 100,000 people marched in Paris, France on Sunday, against antisemitism, which has been on the rise since Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Over 100,000 people took to the streets in Paris on Sunday to protest the rise in antisemitism taking place since Oct. 7, when Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel to execute a deadly massacre. As of the day before the protests, French officials had counted 1,247 antisemitic acts in the country since Oct. 7, which is about triple the number of antisemitic acts during 2022, according to the Interior Ministry.
During the protest, Paris authorities had 3,000 police troops setup along the route of the protest, called by leaders of the Senate and parliament’s lower house, the National Assembly. The protest was called as anti-Jewish acts in the country – which has the largest Jewish population in Europe – are on the rise. One issue with the antisemitic acts is that they open old scars stemming from France’s collaboration with the Nazis during World War II.
Paris police said the protest on Sunday drew 105,000 protesters, including family members of some of the 40 French citizens who were killed in the initial attack executed by Hamas, as well as of those who have gone missing or were taken hostage.
Pro-Palestinian protests have largely been banned in France, though supporters have marched in several French cities over the past few weeks, including thousands who are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, who participated in an authorized protest in Paris last week. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
