PARISIANNE WALKWAYS...

I see that those infamous French "youths" have been busy, this time throwing molotov cocktails at a synagogue north of Paris.

"Molotov cocktails were hurled at a synagogue north of Paris, the latest attack in what France's interior minister said Monday is a new wave of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim attacks over the violence in Gaza. ...Firebombs broke a window and charred the walls of a pizzeria on the ground floor at Chabad House Ohr Manahem, in the town of Saint-Denis, said Isroeil Belinow, the synagogue's assistant rabbi. Belinow said police found 15 other unignited firebombs nearby."

Fascinating to the read that the Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie has said that France has faced a "very clear increase" in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim attacks since Israel started an offensive against the militant group Hamas in Gaza on Dec. 27.

She declined to provide specific figures on the increase....

As Powerline rightly points out she may have a reason why she cannot any detail on the anti-Muslim attacks she chooses to reference - there have been none!

This is rancid political equivocation - she is making up the idea that there have been attacks on French Muslims so that the attacks on French Jews don't look quite so .... anti-semitic! And who might be carrying out these attacks on the synagogue in the above story .....mmmmm, more "youths"? Ssshh - don't say Muslim - it might only upset those gentle inhabitants of les banlieues.
