Jewish Australian Couple Faces Death Threats in Antisemitic Attack in French Supermarket

A Jewish Australian couple, Karen Eivers and her husband, were verbally attacked with antisemitic slurs and death threats by an Irish man during a visit to a supermarket in France. The incident, recorded on Eivers' phone, quickly went viral on the social media platform X, amassing around one million views. The confrontation began amicably when the attacker, identifying himself as "Paddy from Ireland," approached the couple after noticing the husband's French football shirt and overhearing their English conversation. They exchanged greetings and discussed football teams, but the tone shifted drastically when the conversation turned to political issues, specifically Ireland's support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. After the couple criticized these positions, the Irish man became verbally aggressive, hurling severe antisemitic remarks, including the chilling statement, "It's a pity Hitler didn't finish the job." When Eivers started filming, the attacker escalated his threats, openly warning, "I'll stick a bullet in your head." Eivers posted the full video online to expose the attacker and urged viewers to help identify him so authorities could take action. The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media and highlighted the ongoing surge of antisemitism across Europe.
