Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 PARIS — A teenager attacked a Jewish teacher with a machete in the southern French city of Marseille on Monday, and afterward told the police that he had carried out the attack in the name of God and the Islamic State, according to the Marseille prosecutor. The teacher’s back and one of his hands were wounded, but not severely, according to Brice Robin, the prosecutor. The teacher fell after he was hit in the back and then protected himself with a Torah he was carrying while kicking at his assailant, Mr. Robin said. The assault took place near a Jewish school. The teenager, who will soon turn 16, is of Turkish-Kurd origin, according to the prosecutor. The majority of Kurds oppose the Islamic State, so it was unclear what had motivated the teenager to carry out the attack.

TiphEret 1,320 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 This is very weird especially if he is kurdish, it doesn't really make sense but whatever. Good that teacher had a Torah to protect himself! But this antisemitism needs to stop now!

Goosey 3,017 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It says he's of Turkish-Kurdish origin... but aren't machetes from South America?

boobtank 9,090 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No shade but they seem to be linking every attack back to the Islamic state now... an old woman could fall down a flight of stairs and it would have some link to Islam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know it's not from France? the word "machette" it's pretty common...it's just a kind of knife and anyone can buy it...

Machetes originated in tropical regions, South-east Asia, the Carribean, South and Central America, etc. French peasants used tools like bill hooks and axes, not machetes. So it's an import.

Dude we had machete in France for a looong time so if your point was that he got it from the black market it would be as if I said I got a macbook on the black market... maybe two hundred years ago it was mostly in America but not nowadays Sur le sable sur la neige, Sur les images dorées,Sur le front de mes amis, J’écris ton nom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess someone who would go hunting in dense area (forest) maybe or somewhere in the woods, I don't use one personally but I am pretty sure my step dad has one, he collects knives though... I mean it's not rare but for sure not every household as one you know...
