journalist Zvika Klein, of the Jewish media outlet NRG, 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?'

He could have just come on ATS and saved himself some time. We have so many anti-Semitic bigots willing to spew their vitriol from the comfort of their homes.

Is there more footage?
The only anti-Semitic things I saw was that disgusting person who spat at him!
& the man who seemed to be following him saying "Jew"...
I don't know how a group of youths saying "I'm not joking... the dog won't eat you" is anti-Semitic.
& the first guy saying "are you a Jew?" seems to be heading towards anti-Semitism until he stopped talking and the clip changed.

Jewish journalist gets hate on videotape as he strolls streets of Paris
This will likely be labeled as hate mongering when the real hate mongers are in the streets of Europe practicing their hatred as a matter of daily fact, everyday normalcy to them.
Not since the rise of Hitler does the world face an oncoming genocide. The pieces are in place, the people are primed, and the start of it is plain for anyone to see if they don't let their biases blind them to what is coming.
History repeats itself only if past history is ignored.
Discuss, and no a reply of "Faux newz blah" doesn't cut it.

Cyberland is an important new aspect to spreading hate that translates into the streets of the real world. That is very much important in todays world where in the past it was confined to print and public speaches. Hitler used the beer halls early on to rally huge support and used discrimination in the rhetoric, that could be compared to todays online platform that modern extremists are using.

These types of videos are almost always skewed to fit a specific agenda. I question this video's veracity, just as i do with the New York video on which it is based.
Just some points i noticed:
- The audio is horrible and we don't know if the translations match the statements made by bystanders.
- The original footage may have captured a multitude of responses, including positive interactions. This video may have been edited to suit this specific agenda of anti-semitism.
- Going off of some of the comments made by French people on the Youtube video, it would appear that this man had decided to film himself walking through predominantly poor and Muslim neighbourhoods, where one might expect interactions different to walking through other areas of Paris.
What's even more suspect is the fact that the video quotes the ADL as saying that 'France is the most anti-semetic country in Western Europe', yet out of an apparent 10 hours worth of footage, the man only provided us with 1 minute and 30 seconds of minimal interactions with others (and that's walking through poor Muslim neighbourhoods).

Questions have been asked as to if this is based on 'ten hours in Paris as a Jew' why it's whittled down to 90 seconds. The guy who actually posted it on youtube has conceded that he experienced comments in what would be called rough areas, but that he also had friendly exchanges with people that for some reason he didn't include.

It's impossible for us to verify Klein's video, and like other "10 hours in..." videos there has been a large amount of editing - which critics say conveys a false impression. The clips featured appear to be shot in poorer and predominantly Muslim neighbourhoods. Could he be accused of deliberately seeking out negative comments? He doesn't see it that way. "If I was walking around with an Israeli flag, I understand it might create negative feelings. But I don't think [wearing a kippah] should generate that kind of thing."
So are Jewish people confronted with this kind of abuse throughout the city? No, not everywhere, Klein tells BBC Trending. In its more famous neighbourhoods - around the Champs Elysees and the Eiffel Tower - he saw "a little bit, but nothing worth putting in the video". "As we went to the suburbs, or certain neighbourhoods in the city, the remarks became more violent," he says.
Although a bodyguard was trailing Klein and his secret cameraman, the abuse didn't escalate beyond the verbal. "I did think that there might be some violence, but there was none," he says. In fact some locals spoke out in his defence when heckled, and there was a friendly conversation as well, but these were not filmed and included in the video.

That about sums it up for me. The man received positive and negative interactions, depending on the suburbs and people. The video was edited to elicit a specific response from viewers, and it was engineered to conform to a specific agenda.
Not surprising at all.
Thanks for the link.

So you are going to pass this off as isolated cases that don't indicate any widespread hatred?
