An Anti-Semitic Crime: Same Scenario, Same Target
French magazine Choc has published images of "the other Daniel Pearl" - Ilan Halimi - who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by Muslim "youths" (as old as 28) now on trial (in juvenile court). It now appears these "youths" staged Halimi's death in imitation of Pearl's.
The man in the photo is Ilan Halimi: the 23-year-old French Jew who was kidnapped, tormented, and killed by a self-styled “gang of barbarians” in the Parisian banlieue in early 2006. Halimi went missing on January 20, 2006. When police found him bound and naked near train tracks south of Paris on February 13, he was barely still alive. He had two stab wounds to his throat, another on his side, and burns over 80% of his body. He would die the same day from his wounds and the combined effects of the abuse he had suffered over the previous three and a half weeks.
I am republishing the photo (below the fold). This needs to be seen and considered. This needs to be avenged. Damn the French publication ban. And damn the French too if they cannot bring themselves to see justice done for one of their citizens.
