​A 12-year-old Jewish girl was allegedly gang-raped by child attackers who taunted her with antisemitic slurs in a case that has shocked France.

The alleged attack has placed antisemitism at the centre of the upcoming parliamentary elections, with parties across the political spectrum condemning the attack, and pointing fingers at one another.
