Vandals have daubed swastikas on graves at a Christian cemetery in eastern France, two days after a similar incident at a nearby Jewish cemetery.

Tombstones were found desecrated at Niederhaslach cemetery in Alsace, near the German border, on Sunday.

On Friday, swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti were discovered at a Jewish cemetery in Herrlisheim.

The French government has strongly condemned the desecrations. It is unclear who is responsible.

France has suffered a wave of anti-Semitic violence coinciding with renewed fighting in the Middle East.

Many of the attacks have been blamed on young Muslims - although it is unclear who is behind the cemetery incidents in Alsace.

The local Council of the Muslim Faith has called for those responsible to be punished "with then utmost severity".

On Monday, French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin reaffirmed his "firm condemnation of all racist or anti-Semitic attacks".

He spoke after meeting the head of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, Dalil Boubakeur, in Paris.

SSDD.

Terrorism and hate crime are standard French and EU policy.

And so, France has become a shi%%y little country, filled with terrorists.

Given how heat resistant the arabs are another heat wave will greatly speed up their surrenderless conquest of the frogs. Who would have believed the frogs would go down without a white flag?

As you can see they did the same thing to the World War I Memorial last year protesting the war in Iraq.

French Anti-war protesters vandalise WWI memorial 4/2/03

The memorial at Etaples, near Boulogne on the Channel coast, was daubed in red paint with slogans including "Rosbeefs [British] go home", "Saddam will win and he will make you bleed" and "Dig up your rubbish, it is contaminating our soil".Some 11,000 British servicemen and women are buried at the cemetery, most of whom died defending France in the first world war.

Now that's funny as hell, thanks!

[Vigilanteman]

Disgusting. It also shows the Islamofacists are too dumb to even point a swastika in the right direction. Why does France host such vermin?

[Codeflier]

I noticed the swastika was wrong also. These people are too stupid to even be good Nazis.
