Two French Jews received hospital treatment after anti-war protesters attacked them outside a youth movement building in central Paris. On Saturday, Yoni Odonnat, 17, was pushed up against a wall, beaten and then pushed to the ground by demonstrators described by onlookers “as Arabs wearing kaffiyehs.” He was taken to Paris’ Hotel Dieu hospital where he was treated for eye injuries. Near that attack, Noam Levy, 24, was hit on the head with an iron bar as he gave an interview to a passing television camera crew.
