A young Jewish woman suffered an vicious anti-Semitic attack in Marseille, France. The Jewish Agency For Israel said the woman, 22, was attacked Thursday night at a train station by two men of Middle Eastern appearance. The men tore a Star of David necklace from the woman’s neck, lifted her shirt and painted a swastika on her stomach, then fled. Local police opened an investigation but have made no arrests.
