French authorities are reportedly outraged that high school students are using a rap song by MRH that references Mohamed Merah, an Islamist terrorist responsible for a 2012 attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse. Merah, heavily armed, arrived at the Ozar Hatorah school on March 19, 2012, and murdered seven people. He first shot Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and his two sons, Arie and Gabriel, who were at the school entrance. The director's daughter, eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego, ran into the courtyard. According to witness accounts and court testimonies, she returned for her pink backpack containing her ballet shoes, tripped, and was then grabbed by Merah and shot in the head. The song's use during protests has led to Merah being described as a "new hero of the French protests."
