In early November 2023, reports appeared on social networks about the attack in French Lyon on the woman of the Jewish religion. It was argued that the swastika was drawn on the door of her apartments, and the corresponding photo was given. We decided to check the authenticity of this story and photography.
On November 4, the news about the attack on a 30-year-old resident of Lyon spread in Telegram channels. It was claimed that the unknown person inflicted several blows with a knife on the threshold of her own apartment. The victim is a member of the Jewish community, and the attacker portrayed a swastika on its door. This news, along with a photograph of the Nazi symbol, was published by such Telegram channels as "The ax live"(833,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Nevzorov"(580 000), Azfront (118,000) and "Israeli labor workers"(78 000).
It became known about the attack on a woman in Lyon on the evening of November 4. The first to report the Lyon publication about this Le Progrès. The woman told the police that the unknown person called her an apartment, and after she opened the door, he inflicted two blows to her and disappeared. The wounds were not fatal, the next day the woman was discharged from the hospital. Home The version of what happened - Anti -Semitic attack. Both the police and the lawyer of the victim converge in this. A resident of Lyon is a Jewish, a member of the Jewish community. At her door was attached Mezuza - A traditional scroll with prayer, protecting the dwelling. And after the attack, the police found a painted swastika on the door. By that time, according to the French Ministry of Internal Affairs, the country was More than a thousand have been recorded anti -Semitic attacks and attacks that followed the aggravation of the situation in the Middle East.
However, a photograph of the Nazi symbol on the door of the apartment in Lyon in the French media could not be found. Using a reverse search for Google pictures, a link to the incident of 2017 in the United States is found with this photograph. At the end of January, Lapier’s lawyer (Michigan) Erin Zetl discovered a black swastika on the door of her house. They wrote about this first Local media, then international. For example, the incident of February 3 reported London The Telegraph.
But this did not stop the same The Telegraph on November 4, 2023 to illustrate its news notes On the attack in Lyon by photography from 2017.
As an author of the picture, the British newspaper indicated not a lawyer from Michigan, but an account on the social network X (formerly Twitter) @Vysegrad24. Obviously, the photo was taken from post, which appeared in the evening of an attack in Lyon. Most likely, the photo editor for publication, without checking, took the first source that came across.
Thus, the story of an attack on a woman in Lyon, as well as about the swastika on her door, is true. But at the same time, many media and network users accompany it with a picture of 2017, which has nothing to do with either France or a recent attack.
