At Paris Airport, Woman Spits on Jewish Man Carrying a Sefer Torah

An antisemitic confrontation erupted at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle International Airport after a woman verbally abused a Jewish man who was carrying a Sefer Torah, according to video that has circulated widely on social media. The incident unfolded in a public area of the terminal, drawing the attention of nearby travelers.

The footage captures the woman repeatedly yelling at the man, “Leave France, I’m Muslim.” At one point, she is seen spitting at him as he continues to hold the Sefer Torah.

As the exchange grew increasingly heated, a second man at the scene stepped in and positioned himself between the two in an apparent effort to defuse the situation. His actions appeared aimed at preventing the confrontation from escalating into physical violence in the crowded airport setting.

The video was shared on X by Chen Mazzig, an Israeli activist known for his advocacy work and opposition to the BDS movement. Commenting on the incident, Mazzig wrote: “Spitting on a Jewish man carrying a Torah scroll is not random aggression. It is deliberate humiliation. It is an attack on faith, identity, and presence. A man carrying a Torah scroll should be able to walk through an airport without being humiliated. The fact that this even needs to be said shows exactly where we are.”

As of the latest reports, neither airport officials nor French law enforcement have released a statement addressing the incident or indicating whether any action has been taken.
