Anti-Semitic tags appeared in the week of October 2 to 8, 2023 on the walls of a town in Tarn-et-Garonne. Erased, they arouse concern with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Anti-Semitic tags appeared, in the week of October 2 to 8, 2023, on the walls of the small town of Boudou, located in Tarn-et-Garonne, near Moissac.
“Deaths to the Jews”, “Juda Hate” were “inscribed in red paint, followed by crossed out Stars of David and a Nazi cross” as reported by our colleagues at Radio Totem.
“These inscriptions were discovered by the mayor of the town, Marie-Thérèse Vissières-Delvolve last week, who informed me and reacted immediately”, tells us Jean-Lou Lévi, president of the Montalbanese Jewish community. The town hall filed a complaint and erased the tags discovered at the belvedere and at the Boudou bowling alley. A police investigation is underway. “I will not be able to date them, if they were written before or after the events that occurred in the Middle East”, underlines the man who is also the vice-president of CRIF d’Occitanie, the Representative Council of Jewish institutions in France. Jean-Lou Lévi, who notes a resurgence of anti-Semitic acts in Moissac and Boudou, will also file a complaint. He fears that the conflict between Hamas and Israel will be transposed to France.
The village of Boudou, 750 inhabitants, is located very close to Moissac, town of Justes where 500 Jewish children were hidden and rescued during World War II. “It’s a shame that Tarn-et-Garonne is giving in to this phenomenon, although we have not yet noted any attacks”, he worries. This Thursday, October 12, 2023, a silent gathering is planned on the square in front of the departmental council in Montauban at 4:30 p.m. It will be followed by a silent march at 6 p.m. It will leave the town hall to reach Cours Foucault where candles will be placed in the memory square. Two other events are organized in Castelsarrasin this Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. as well as in Toulouse at 6:30 p.m. by Crif.
