Jewish family in France assaulted by thugs who believe all Jews have money

A Jewish family was attacked and held hostage by robbers who buy into the cliched libel that all Jews are "rich", and they're lucky to be alive, and the government publicly condemned the crime:
One of the reports I read said the villains were black. Could they have been Muslims too? It's always possible. For now, we have to hope the authorities this time are committed to solving the crime convincingly without avoiding the deeper issues involved. And when the robbers are caught, they should be thrashed hard on their bottoms for what they put the family through.
And I'd suggest Collomb prove himself on his part by inviting the family to dinner at his office.
A brutal robbery that deliberately targeted a Jewish family in Paris has been condemned as “a cowardly act” that “seems directly linked to the religion of its victims.”
France’s Interior Minister Gérard Collomb made the claim on Sunday as he addressed the attack that saw a Jewish family bound, beaten and robbed by attackers who told their victims, “you are Jews, you have money.” The family members were threatened with death, insulted and “violently beaten” during their ordeal.
Mr. Collomb reassured both the victims and the local Jewish community of the government’s “profound support for the family and for the Jewish institutions of France.”
“Every effort will be made to identify and arrest the authors of this odious aggression,” a statement from Collomb’s office said. “The Minister has full confidence in the Paris police services to take determined action in this enquiry.” France’s government would “do everything to indefatigably combat every form of racism and antisemitism, which have no place in the French Republic” the statement continued.
The incident occured last Thursday when three attackers burst into the house in the Paris suburb of Livry-Gargan, cut the electricity and confined members of the family while some were beaten before one managed to escape and alert police. The Israeli Ambassador to France, Aliza Bin-Noun, condemned the incident on Twitter and asserted it was an anti-Semitic attack.
J'apporte tout mon soutien à la famille juive de Livry Gargan attaquée et séquestrée. Je condamne avec fermeté cette attaque antisémite.— Aliza Bin Noun (@AlizaBinNoun) September 10, 2017
