Jewish journalist's hidden-camera walk through Paris

Inspired by the viral "10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman" video, Zvika Klein — a journalist with Israel's NRG news site — tried a similar experiment in Paris in February 2015, with a darker purpose. He walked the city for ten straight hours wearing a kippah (Jewish skullcap), filming the public's reactions with a hidden camera.

The results were disturbing. Over the course of the walk he was spat at, followed, cursed, and threatened. In the video's description, he wrote: "Welcome to Paris 2015, where soldiers are walking every street that houses a Jewish institution" — a reference to the French military deployment guarding Jewish sites after the January 2015 Hypercacher kosher supermarket attack in Paris, in which four Jewish hostages were murdered.

The video, titled "Hate: A Yarmulke in Paris," drew millions of views and became part of a painful European conversation about antisemitism — one that continued to intensify in the years that followed.
