France: 5 Arrested over Shocking Vandalism of 300 Jewish Graves

Five adolescents aged 15 to 17 have been taken into custody in eastern France for questioning over a massive vandalism attack against Jewish graves, a local prosecutor said on Monday.

All five are from the region of Sarre-Union in Alsace, where around 300 tombs were defaced over the weekend.

The youngest came forward after being shocked by the massive reaction across the country to the vandalism, prosecutor Philippe Vannier said.

"Apparently, he was very very affected by the scale of the reaction to this affair, including the statements from the highest state authorities," Vannier told reporters.

The boy, who was encouraged to hand himself in by one of his friends, has denied any anti-Semitic motive, Vannier added.

"We don't know the motives of these adolescents who don't have past criminal records and we don't know of any ideological convictions that could explain their behavior.

"They are very very shocked by the turn of events."

The five boys pushed over tombstones in the cemetery and opened up vaults. A monument to the victims of the Holocaust at the entrance was also vandalised.

Following news of the attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve denounced it as "a despicable act".

Whaaaat? Vandelizing the grave of the infidel Jew was wrong? Who knew? Given what he probably heard from his "community" every day of his life, he imagined such an act was no big deal.

Why Jews remain in Europe just mystifies me. They have to know they are targets. Otherwise, they are silly stupid. I would be out of there in a Paris minute (Not NY since they are in Europe)!! I would be moving home to Israel now. Before I were made a victim of a murdering thug of murdering pig religion of izzlam.

Are these anti-Semitic yoofs Muslim? The Frenchies ain’t saying yes or no which makes me suspicious.
Is this simple vandalism or imported vandalism as in Muslims?

Roger that. THAT issue has always had me dumfounded. I never got that. They, in my humble opinion, are like blacks. Just ATM cards to be punched by the Dims. Sad. The Dims beloved FDR sends a ship load of Jews trying to escape the Nazi’s right back to the gas chambers of Germany when he refused to let them come here. Yet, Jews love the guy and still vote Dim.

NEWS REPORT:
“France’s leading Muslim groups denounced the attacks in Paris and Copenhagen, and are frustrated that Islam is often associated with terrorism.”

Alsace has many folks of German descent, and was part of Germany from 1871 to 1918.

Just sayin’...

Oh, just a little stunt, why should anybody care.

Well, he found out that context matters (and anyhow it’s a lowdown thing to do to anybody’s grave).

"The killers are not *real* Muslims. This goes against the word of Allah!"

And it is Mohammed's will that we saw off your head with a dull knife if you disagree with us.

Sons of Allah’s Anarchy on decapitations:

If a Muslim likes you he will use a sharp knife. If he hates you or you are Jewish or Christian...you get the dull knife.

Those 20 Coptic Christians that ISIS just decapitated— Video is at Shoebat. I watched with the sound off, without the Arabic mumbo-jumbo from Allah’s psycho-killers.

We have some very liberal Jewish friends. Their apologies for Jihad are so absurd, you’d think they were a joke.

I swear, if ISIS was in the process of slicing off their heads, they would be going on about how True Islam is very compatible with Judaism, unlike Christianity, which is the bloodiest ideology to ever come upon the earth.

Politics aside, they are very nice people and very loyal friends.

Read the Koran and you’ll find out that all these acts of barbarism are promoted, dictated and decreed in that collection of satanic verses.

This video is from a WW II British Military Cemetery in Libya. Are our cemeteries at Normandy next?
