Four Jewish men, suspected of being members of the Paris branch of the Jewish Defence League, are in police custody, accused of vandalising a bookshop.

The JDL has links with the extreme-right Kach movement, founded in New York by Rabbi Meir Kahane in the 1970s.

It is outlawed by the European Union, Israel, Canada and the United States. It is also connected to offshoot Kahane Chai (Kahane Lives).

The attack took place last Friday at the Resistance Bookshop in Paris’s seventeenth arrondissement. Owned by Olivia Zemor and Nicholas Shahshahani, the shop is known as a meeting place for anti-Zionist activists.
