WATCH: Protestors storm only Jewish bakery in Strasbourg 

A Jewish-owned bakery in Strasbourg, known as Dreher, became the focal point of a heated protest yesterday (Saturday) during the Passover holiday. The demonstration, reportedly involving Palestinian supporters and some far-left activists, escalated when protesters attempted to approach the bakery, prompting police intervention to prevent entry.

Eyewitness reports shared on social media describe a tense scene, with a crowd gathering outside the bakery, some allegedly shouting inflammatory rhetoric. The protesters reportedly aimed to intimidate or even harm those inside

It's also possible that the bakery was not the primary target but rather a pro-Israeli individual caught in the demonstration’s crosshairs. Police presence appears to have kept the situation from spiraling further, with no reports of injuries or arrests at this stage.

The timing of the protest, on Passover, has people worried. Online reactions draw parallels to historical anti-Semitic violence, framing the event as a troubling sign of rising tensions in Europe. Others argue it reflects a broader conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, a debate that continues to polarize communities worldwide.

The Dreher bakery, a local fixture, has not been prominently linked to such incidents in the past, making the protest’s focus on it particularly striking. Strasbourg’s Jewish community, while resilient, operates in a region where global conflicts often ripple into local spaces.

As investigations continue, Strasbourg’s residents, Jewish and otherwise, grapple with the unease of a holiday marred by discord.
