At the start of the video, Zvika Klein puts on a kippah or yarmulke in front of the Eiffel Tower in a short film inspired by "10 hours of walking in NYC as a Woman," which, using a hidden camera, highlighted the everyday sexism experienced by women.

Klein who is NRG's Jewish world correspondent didn't seem to face problems around the well-known tourist spots, but he's taunted verbally by passers-by in other parts of the city.

He's spat at:

While others shout "viva Palestine":

The ten-hours of filming has been edited down into 96 seconds. Klein has denied that he sought out negative comments by going to predominantly Muslim neighbourhoods.

"If I was walking around with an Israeli flag, I understand it might create negative feelings. But I don't think [wearing a kippah] should generate that kind of thing," he told the BBC.

"I did think that there might be some violence, but there was none," he added.

Klein also said that some locals defended him when he was being taunted and that he had friendly conversations but these were not filmed or included for the video.

The video, uploaded Sunday, had been viewed almost 900,000 by Tuesday morning. It was made by NRG, a website owned by billionaire Sheldon Adelson a funder of the U.S. Republican party and ardent supporter of Israel's prime minister.

Tensions in the Jewish community are especially high in France following the attacks in Paris last month which left 17 people dead. Separately, two people were killed in Copenhagen in two attacks, one at a synagogue, by a gunman over the weekend.

Elsewhere, 300 graves were desecrated and a Holocaust memorial smashed in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France on Sunday.
