"Most of these acts seem to be committed by youngsters of Arab origin who identify with the Palestinian cause but who don't really know what they're doing," said a spokesman for the EUJF.Another person (the spokesman) with his head in the sand. Of COURSE they know what they're doing. They're learning in school that Jews are to be hurt and Jewish property vandalized or destroyed. It's just part of their education. As they grow older some will graduate to even more violent acts, and may actually become young adult terrorists. An elite few may actually go to the middle east and participate in the violence there. (Unless we have an all out war, I expect these young terrorists will have plenty of opportunity to practice their trade there.)

Their behavior is inexscusable and the Islamic apologists for that behavior are a party to it. I hope that France decides pretty soon here whether they are just Brand-X status-quo Jew baiters or an Islamic country. Pathetically, it appears, they are more Nazi than Napoleon; more laughable than Lafayette. Overflying France is sometimes useful, and giving them the illusion of control over their airspace is flattering to them. However, they are not a major player in the new world order. Russia is. China is. Quite a few countries are, but France is right there with Quebec. Talk funny. Count for little. Have any amazing ability to come down on the wrong side of it, whatever it might be.

They're learning in school that Jews are to be hurt and Jewish property vandalized or destroyed...They're learning from the European press that Isreal is not granted the same rights that other nations are accorded: namely, the right to exist.
Also that the United Nations is like a weathercook, spinning whichever way the political winds blow.
