A Judaica shop on the Rue Alexandre Boutin in Lyon, France has been vandalised with antisemitic graffiti while the owners were on holiday in Israel.

Images of Mechy Judaica show ‘sale jui’ – French for ‘dirty Jew’ – sprayed onto the glass front of the shop.

The owners of the shop were alerted to the attack after pictures of the graffiti were sent to them by neighbours, The Jerusalem Post reports.

They are considering returning from their holiday early and filing a police complaint.
