Irish Visitor in France Threatens Jews with Hitler Remark in Viral Video
An Irish tourist visiting France verbally attacked two Jewish visitors, expressing regret that Hitler "did not finish the job." The incident was recorded by one of the victims, Karen Eivers, and the video quickly went viral, amassing around one million views on the social media platform X within hours. The man, who identified himself as "Paddy from Ireland," initially engaged in a seemingly friendly conversation about football before the discussion turned hostile and antisemitic.
According to Eivers, the encounter began when her husband wore a French football team shirt, prompting the Irish man to joke about why an English-speaking person would wear it. The husband explained he was Australian and liked the shirt while traveling in France. The conversation remained amicable until Paddy criticized the Irish football team and then shifted to political topics. When Eivers confronted him about Ireland's anti-Israel policies and support for Hamas and Hezbollah, his demeanor changed abruptly.
Paddy became aggressive and declared, "We all agree with that. And I'm sorry Hitler didn't finish the job!" At that point, Eivers started filming the confrontation. The man also threatened to kill them, saying, "I'll stick a bullet in your heads." Eivers called on the public to make the "Irish Nazi psychopath" famous to expose his hateful behavior. The video highlights a disturbing episode of antisemitism experienced by Jewish tourists in France.
The viral nature of the video has drawn widespread attention to the incident, though no further details about any legal or police response have been reported yet.
