The French government is about to ban the Jewish Defense League, after JDL members attacked pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Paris.

JDL leaders claim they were defending synagogues, however, leaders of the Jewish Community of France say they’ve never asked the JDL for protection.

In 2001, the U.S. FBI declared the JDL a terrorist organization.
