Well, so far just one it seems. With scarce sources, with the French police hardly a reliable one. Still a terrible crime, like all the other thousands of rapes each year, which surprisingly are not in the front page while they probably should. I wonder why…
And plenty of people denying there’s any rise in hatred and violent actions towards Jews.
Like a lot of other minorities, especially en France, which has presque an institutionalized racism. One would think that the antisemitism is receiving coverage for some other reasons beside it being “simply” an hate crime.
The “Plenty of articles like those here.” was a reply to the first part of your post.
Yeah, it’s receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.
And the rape was specifically because she’s a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she’s a Jew.
There are plenty of stupid and/or devious people who will see what’s going on in some part of the world and believe a narrative or use that narrative as an excuse for their own ends.
If it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else. The whole human race has a problem with human garbage who can’t control their actions. Some of them end up running countries and turning a blind eye to war atrocities, if not asking for them outright.
This doesn’t lessen what happened to this 12-year-old victim, and it doesn’t lessen what’s happening elsewhere in the world, nor the ramifications. My point is that the link, while there, is tenuous.
The perpetrators are human garbage who found a reason to stop pretending not to be, and now should be treated as such.
How is the link tenuous?
You could write the same thing about neo-nazi violence.
There’s a clear issue here.
The reality is that this is a part of a global spike of cases against Jews since the 7th of October, who are targeted because they are Jews.
It could’ve been someone else. Another Jew. Like the other French Jewish woman who was raped because she’s a Jew and was done as “revenge” in the eyes of the perpetrator.
There is a terrible trend of people blaming Jewish people overall for what Israel is doing – and ironically, some of Israel’s sharpest critics are Jewish.
Some people are incapable of realizing that Jewish people are not the same as Israel, and in doing so, they play right into Netanyahu’s hand. Antisemitism is completely separate from criticism of Israel, but Netanyahu would love for people to believe it’s one and the same.
People who want revenge against Jews in the West for what Israel’s doing are no different than those who interned the Japanese in WW2 or demonized all Muslims after 9/11. It’s collective punishment and it’s wrong.
Yeap. Although this “trend” isn’t very new.
Antisemites calling all Jews, Zionists, was done from even before the founding of the state of Israel. One example from before its founding, is of Muhammad Rashid Rida.
