Anti-semitic shirts for sale in Belleville

Not anymore, but apparently they were. According to the AFP, whose reporter visited the shop, the shirts bore German and Polish phrases that both translate as 'Jews forbidden from entering the park'. The assistant at the store said she hadn't known what the inscriptions meant. (Sure, the old Tibetan flag defense.)

The AFP got its tip from the Bureau National de Vigilance Contre l'Antisémitisme, which also says that Jewish youths often complain of gangs of other youths trying to keep them out of the Parc des Buttes Chaumont. The BBC is only willing to offer that there have been "scuffles" between Jewish youths and youths of North African descent.
