Vandals have defaced a Jewish cemetery in the eastern French city of Strasbourg by painting swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans on about 20 tombstones and on a wall, police said on Saturday. Police have opened an inquiry into the desecration, the fourth at a Jewish site in the Cronenbourg section of Strasbourg this month. An unexploded bomb was found at another Cronenbourg cemetery in early April after an arson attack there and a fire at a nearby synagogue. Two young men of North African origin have been detained and three more put under investigation in connection with the arson attacks at the Cronenbourg cemetery, police sources said.
Nope. No anti-Semites here. Just some rambunctious North African youths. No harm done, hardly. Boys will be boys, after all. (Those Jews! They're so excitable!) |
