A 33-year-old man with a mental disability was convicted of attempted assault on Jewish TV host Valerie Benaim by a French court earlier this week, according to Inspired Traveler.The assailant, Samir E., allegedly was inspired by French rapper Freeze Corleone, and showed up to the television station to “do battle with the Jews,” while hurling antisemitic insults, as well as death threats at Benaim.He received a two-month suspended prison sentence for his wrongdoing.The man was drawn to action following Benaim’s stark review of the French rapper, as she detailed his hate-filled lyrics, such as, “I arrive determined like Adolf in the 1930s,” and “Every day I f*** Israel like I live in Gaza,” according to the Algemeiner.Following the review, Benaim received numerous threats, including those from the convicted assailant. He is reportedly considered “as cotorep,” meaning he currently has a disability and is receiving government assistance to be reintegrated into society, which he undergoes daily monitoring for.Freeze Corleone’s lyrics are being investigated for “provocation to racial hatred” and Holocaust denial. His debut album is reportedly riddled with “antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and apologies for Hitler, the Third Reich and [Afghan Taliban commander] Mullah Omar,” according to the Algemeiner, citing a French watchdog organization.
