On Sunday, 20 July 2014, a pro-Palestinian protest against the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza degenerated into an antisemitic riot in Sarcelles , France . Jewish-owned and non-Jewish-owned businesses were attacked and looted by several hundred local youths armed with metal bars and wooden clubs. The rioters repeatedly attempted to attack a synagogue thronged with worshipers, but were held off by the Ligue de défense juive , an organisation modeled on the Jewish Defence League , who shielded the synagogue by forming a line in front of it and holding motor-cycle helmets as weapons. The Guardian newspaper later refuted press reports that the attack had been instigated or provoked by the Jewish defenders.
