The Other Side Of The Paris Riots

While the media obsesses on the failure of Muslim society to integrate into the French culture- and how that failure is non Muslim problem- there is something else they are not reporting on.
Arsonists, who set 1300 cars across France on fire Saturday night, have until now targeted two synagogues.

Arsonists threw at least two Molotov cocktails at synagogues in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine and Garges, leaving worshippers unhurt.

Elsewhere, near the synagogue of Stains about 40 rioters confronted police forces who were braced for an attack.

Jacki Brami, Garges’s rabbi, and his sons have been, "as usual", insulted, according to the anti-Semitism vigilance bureau.

“It’s business as usual,” Samy Ghozlan, head of the anti-Semitism vigilance bureau told EJP. “These communities are used to these daily assaults. It’s worrisome, but we fear the worst is still to come.”

“Now that the media decided to reduce coverage of the riots, the thugs may intensify the violence against the Jews, to regain media attention," he added.

French authorities advised Jewish security officials not to publicize their fears, as such declarations could encourage rioters to attack Jews and Jewish community buildings.
Once more, Jews are being asked to do what no one else would be asked- or expected to do. SC&A readers do not need the above explained. You've seen it before.

What is also left unsaid are the few truths no one wants to address.

The French have left their colonial states over half a century ago.
If life in France is so bad, why do immigrants clamor to get in, legally and otherwise? If they are so disenfranchised, how is it that goal of so many is to live off the huge menu of French welfare benefits, without attempting to do better?

Rather than take advantage of the wealth of opportunities available for the asking, schools are set ablaze and opportunities for social integration are scorned. French citizens live fear and crime rates have been increasing steadily, for years. All the while, le gouvernement bristled at the idea that Islam was somehow outside the French mainstream.

They appeased the Muslim community and now they are paying for it- and Jean le Pen waits for the next election.
