Well, you can bet John F'n Kerry will sign will sign a bill to absorb the next five nukes, too. Gotta be sensitive about such things.
ARSONISTS IN PARIS SET ABLAZE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER
NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
PARIS — Fire swept through a Jewish community center in eastern Paris in the early morning hours on Sunday after arsonists broke into the building and scrawled swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans inside.
It was the latest in a series of neo-Nazi acts across the country.
The center, which prepares kosher food for Jews in need, occupies the ground floor of a five-story residential building. There were no injuries.
President Jacques Chirac and other politicians were quick to issue statements condemning the attack and vowing to find and punish the perpetrators. Mayor Bertrand Delanoe visited the scene on Sunday and said he felt “shock and horror.”
Much of this year’s neo-Nazi activity in France has been concentrated in the eastern region of Alsace, a traditionally German-speaking area along the German border. On Saturday, about 3,000 people took part in a neo-Nazi march in the German town of Wunsiedel, about 250 miles from Alsace, to commemorate the death, in 1987, of Adolf Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess.
Dozens of Neo-Nazi acts have been perpetrated across France since April, in some cases by copycats with no clear relationship to an organized movement.
The recent neo-Nazism in France appears to have no clear ideology beyond anti-Semitic slogans and the lyrics of white supremacy, heavy metal music by such groups as Ninth Panzer Symphony, Kontingent 88 and Elsass Korps. Adherents are mostly men in their teens or early 20s, say people who monitor the movement, and their targets are as often Arabs as Jews. France is home to Europe’s biggest Muslim and Jewish communities.
JibJab a little Bush vs Kerry humor.
