FRANCE: Macron condemns attack on prominent intellectual by “yellow vest” protesters
An anti-Semitic attack targeted at prominent philosopher by “yellow vest” protesters on the streets of Paris has been condemned by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Reports say the French intellectual Alain Finkielkraut was bombarded with insults and anti-Jewish taunts in the capital, and it took local police to protect him as some of the protesters got aggressive.
