Footage from Paris shows the moment pro-Israel march came under attack by anti-Israel extremists. The rally was held to call for the release of three Israeli teenagers kidnapped by the Hamas terrorist group.

Police intervened, however, and can be seen making at least one arrest.

Violent anti-Semitism in France is a growing problem, with many Jews there unable to publicly display their Judaism or support for Israel for fear of coming under attack. The success of the far-right National Front party, coupled with the rise of militant Islam in the European country – which has the largest Muslim population of any non-Muslim country – has alarmed the French Jewish community, with increasing numbers turning to self-defense initiatives or leaving the country altogether as authorities stand accused of not clamping down on anti-Semitism.
