A group of Chabad Hasidim were subjected to a vitriolic antisemitic tirade at Orly Airport in Paris. The aggressor, identified as a French-Moroccan activist, reportedly followed the travelers from Marrakech to Paris, screaming racial slurs and comparing them to "rats" and "vermin."

The incident occurred in the baggage claim area of Orly Airport, but witnesses report that the verbal assault began before the flight even departed from Morocco. The woman, identified as Sonia Hanafi, a French-Moroccan pro-Palestinian activist, allegedly targeted the Jewish passengers during the boarding process.

According to testimonies, the abuse escalated upon landing in Paris:

Hanafi reportedly screamed at the group, calling them "the cancer of the world," "rats," "cockroaches," and a "dirty race." Witnesses described a sustained and aggressive verbal attack that caused a significant disturbance in the terminal, with Hanafi shouting, "You'll see, you group of dirty race."

Several victims of the attack have announced their intention to file official police complaints. The incident has sparked outrage among travelers and Jewish advocacy groups, leading to calls for French authorities to take immediate action.

Critics and community leaders are urging law enforcement to arrest Hanafi and charge her with hate speech and antisemitic harassment. The aggressive nature of the confrontation, spanning two countries and an entire flight, has highlighted growing concerns over the safety of visibly Jewish travelers in European transit hubs.
