At least 10 Jewish homes and businesses around Paris and a synagogue in the northern French city of Rouen have been defaced, according to police, with antisemitism being considered as a motive.
The acts of vandalism came as France marked 10 years since the Paris terrorist attacks that shook the country. Twelve people were killed at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and five people were killed in the subsequent antisemitic attacks on a kosher supermarket in January 2015.
Buildings in the Parisian suburbs of Vincennes, Saint-Mandé and Fontenay-sous-Bois, many located near the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket where the attacks took place a decade ago, were affected on Sunday and Monday, police said. A rabbi’s home and a synagogue in Rouen were also targeted with antisemitic messages and swastikas scrawled on the buildings.
Israel is the most anti-Semitic country around isn’t it? Jews world wide have never been so unsafe in a long time and it’s all Israel’s fault.
They’ve even made the word antisemitic lose all meaning by using it against any criticism of the state.
Ah yes, because antisemitism clearly didn’t exist before Israel was a country
Also the antisemitism is one of the main reasons Israel exists in the first place
Boy, we sure didn’t have to wait long for someone to show up and blame Israel for a French person terrorizing French Jews in Jewish spaces on the anniversary of a French terrorist killing and injuring French Jews. Predictable and tiring, but still pretty disappointing.
I mean like it or not Israel has been working to make people conflate hate for it as a state with antisemitism, and it’s working. We have people who think hating Israel is antisemitism and therefore bad, and people who think antisemitism is the same as opposing genocide and therefore good (or are using the opportunity to make their views appear more sympathetic). There’s a not insignificant chance this attack was caused or at least encouraged by the attacker conflating Israel and all Jews in the opposite direction. The comment was unnecessary I’ll admit that, but the logic checks out.
“Discovering these tags in Rouen, it’s a double symbol, a symbol because it falls on the anniversary of the Hyper Cacher attack, and a symbol because it targets the Rouen synagogue, which was the victim of arson a few months ago,” said the president of Representative Council of Jewish institutions in France, Yonathan Arfi, on French radio RTL on Tuesday.
Why would CNN include quotes from the leader of a genocide denying organization?

It would be like with the Cali wildfires they had the kkk grand lizard get on TV and talk about how sad it is…
It is sad, but we don’t want to fucking hear from people like that.
Don’t normalize these extremists by letting them pull an Al Sharpton everytime there’s a tragedy. Not to mention that the whole reason they insert themselves is to blur the line between the religion and the state of Israel.
Edit:
To clarify the organization (Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France) which that person is currently the leader of has been excusing human rights abuses by Israel for years.
They’re less an advocate for members of the religion and more PR for Israel.
Normalizing them and going with their bullshit further intertwines Judaism with Israel.
They are not the same things
I think we all know why American Media would side with genocide.
Maybe you should examine whether it makes sense to silence Jewish voices on the anniversary of a Jewish massacre because of a decade-old blog post that wasn’t even written by the person quoted.
Maybe you should examine whether it makes sense to silence Jewish voices.
I’m not the Shomrim…
If someone does something wrong they don’t get a free pass from me because their religion matches mine.
So while you label that “silencing Jewish voices” I label it “silencing supporters of genocide”.
Can you clarify why you care more about the genocide deniers religion then them denying a genocide?
Not the same guy and it’s from 2014.Why would CNN include quotes from the leader of a genocide denying organization?
That is what I said
And I linked a release by that organization, that shows they’ve long ignored the genocide of the Palestinian people. Like, it’s not like up to 10/6 everything was rosey for the indigenous people over there, it’s kind of been happening for a while…
But I think you misunderstood my comment, and are now expecting me to defend some position I’ve never held…
I realized this 4 hours ago and even added a note to the original comment clarifying incase anyone else were confused you like.
Are we on the same page now?
Because yes, I do 100% agree with what you said:
Not the same guy and it’s from 2014.
It’s just that no one has said any differently either…
Like, Joe Montana didn’t write Harry Potter either, but if we’re just naming different pairs of people it kind of feels like this has gone off the rails…
Quick edit:
Oh…
I just realized this is you coming back to the same thread 4 hours later and replying with a “gotcha”…
Because up till now you never have said that it wasn’t him. This reply really did come out of nowhere
This has gone off the rails.
