STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) - An unexploded homemade
bomb was found in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France on
Friday, the latest assault against Jewish sites around
the country which has included several arson attacks.

Police said the bomb was found in a cemetery in the
Cronenbourg district of Strasbourg -- the same graveyard
arsonists attacked earlier this week. Last weekend oil
was set alight on the door of a nearby synagogue.

These anti-semitic attacks with Molotov cocktails were
obviously not committed by National Socialist skinheads,
otherwise the media sources would be telling you that.

No, they were committed by another group, not too far
down the political spectrum for which the mass media has
much more sympathy towards.

Until a few days ago, I had not heard of this recent series of attacks on Jews in Europe. The press has been very quiet about it.

Bearing in mind that the source is very different, that the media is ignoring what can only be called pogrom is... disquieting, at best.

Wonder how many of the 600,000+ Jews in France voted for the Front National or other conservative parties which have been trying to stem the flood of Muslim immigration into the country. There are a few in leadership positions in the FN but not many.

Here's more evidence of what I am talking about. "They"
protest against racism...yet it is they themselves that
are the source of the racist activity.

Thousands protest in Paris in support of Palestinians

AFP [ SATURDAY, APRIL 06, 2002 7:54:12 PM ]

PARIS: Several thousand demonstrators, including senior
labour union and human rights figures, rallied in Paris
Saturday to protest the Israeli crackdown in Palestinian
territories.


Prominent among those attending the Paris rally were
Bernard Thibault, secretary-general of France's leading
labour union organisation the CGT, and Michel Tubiana, head
of the French human rights league. The march in the French
capital was led by Moulid Aounit, head of the French
Movement Against Racism.


One protest banner read: "Hitler has a son-Sharon." The
march was also in protest against all acts of racist
violence at a time when anti-semitic acts are increasing in
France with the escalation of violence in the Middle East.


Police said Saturday a Jewish sports club in the south
of the country had been petrol bombed in the latest of
a string of assaults on Jewish premises in France.
Meanwhile hundreds demonstrated in the western German
cities of Dortmund and Bonn against the crackdown by
Israeli troops. Other pro-Palestinian demonstrations
were expected elsewhere in Germany during the weekend.

No, no, no. You don't put bombs in cemeteries. You put them in missiles and fire them at Arab tanks.

Gosh, these French don't know the first thing about warfare.
