MK Sharren Haskel (United Right) revealed on Wednesday that her 88-year-old grandmother was violently attacked in France.

She was attacked on Monday after she was seen wearing a Star of David necklace. She submitted a complaint to the local police and said she was attacked by two individuals who came from behind.

When submitting the complaint, she reported that she was hit in the face, her teeth broken and one of the assailants threw her to the ground and shouted: "Dirty Jew, dirty old lady, this is what you deserve."

MK Haskel wrote: Antisemitism in France has been surging for a long time, and since October 7th, it has become unbearable while the French government remains indifferent. The French government allows the spread of blood libels against Israel on media, resulting in the Jewish community suffering from violence, rape, and murder."

She shared: "My 88-year-old grandmother was attacked by Arab thugs, and I have no hope that the French authorities will be able to deal with this.

"The Israeli government must wake up and lead the fight against this exploding antisemitism. Jewish communities around the world are an integral part of us, and we have a great responsibility towards them. There should be more civilian initiatives like the 'Jew hate database' in America. It is far more effective than anything I’ve seen until now, in having a price tag against racism," she added.

Turing to diaspora Jews she wrote: "I call on the Jews of the diaspora, like my grandmother, to come to their national, cultural and historical home. We have only one home."

MK Gideon Sa'ar commented: "I am shocked by this violent antisemitic incident, which exemplifies what diaspora Judaism in general and especially French Jews are experiencing now. I call on the authorities in France to work with determination to investigate this incident and bring those responsible to justice. I send my wishes to your grandmother."
