Vandals Put Swastikas on Graves in France
2003-11-26
Vandals desecrated tombs at a Jewish cemetery in southern France, carving swastikas and other Nazi symbols into the headstones. Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin condemned the attack in Marseille as a ``hateful manifestation of anti-Semitism.’’
Ooooh. He said the word.
Seven tombs at the Trois-Lucs cemetery were covered with graffiti or damaged by pelted rocks, said Alain Marc, an official at the regional prefecture. French President Jacques Chirac promised a tough crackdown on anti-Semitism after an arson attack on a Jewish school outside Paris this month. There were no injuries, but the building was gutted. In the last two years, France has suffered a wave of violence against Jewish schools, temples and cemeteries that coincided with new fighting in the Middle East. Many of the attacks have been blamed on young Muslims.
Wasn’t there a report about anti-Semitism in the EU just recently? Oh right, never released.

#8  NMM--

Now I'm super-confused. You don't like GWB but you DO like not only Berlusconi (Forza) but also Fini (MSI)! NMM, you do know what the Movimento Sociale Italiana comes from, right? (Here's a hint: the name of the entity established at Salo' was "Repubblica Sociale Italiana") And if you're worried about antitrust violations here, don't you think that Berlusconi's media ownership would be a question too? Don't get me wrong, Berlusconi lives in reality a hell of a lot more than his opponents do....

How odd.

#7  Naah, Euro-nuts like Aris just love the morally cowardly EU, especially when Jew-killing and defamation is involved. (it's a Greek thing)

#5  TT, thanks for the explanation, I should have known that. If the Joooooos were more clever with the cleaver, they'd have fewer problems :-)

#3  Absolutely right TT--the Euros have their head in the sand and their asses exposed to the home-grown Muslim shit going on in their countries--but the Italians have finally awakened thanks to Forza and MSI

#2  Steve, don't you see?! Last week's report was about Muslim anti-Semitism. This incident is entirely different. When the LePen nutcases write nazi graffitti, then the Euro grandees spring into action. However, when the Algerian immigrants, spouting Palestinian propaganda terrorize synagogues - that's entirely different. So now you see how they are entirely unrelated. If there were any incidents at all. This act was probably committed by Jooooos, or at least provoked in some fashion in order to draw attention to anti-Semitism. They're cleaver like that.

#1  Mr. Bush needs to both make a bold statement about European anti-Semitism AND make Chiraq look like the scumbag everyone already knows he is. How? Simply announce that 250,000 or so French Jews can enter the U.S. as political refugees.
