ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Another summer of rage erupts in Paris, this time sparked by the police shooting several days ago of a 17-year-old Muslim man of North African origin. Many liken the fiery French riots to our own Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots of 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in many ways, they are similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both used the police killing of a man of color to justify violence, arson, looting, and spreading chaos. Their initial stated agenda was to highlight police brutality and police racism, then just racism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then a bunch of other stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, a lot of the BLM rioting was targeted at President Donald Trump. In France, some of the rage is directed at Jews.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, both violent rampages were quickly co-opted, if not initially instigated, by extremist ideologies and agendas. In the U.S., BLM was run by the far left and often became dominated by issues totally unrelated to the police or even racism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, the riots are as much about a growing unassimilated Arab\/North African Muslim minority bringing radical Islam to France, as it is about the police or race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also about being anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic, and anti-French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as BLM often disparaged all of white America as being racist while targeting cops, many French Muslims see the entire French system as evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And part of that ruling system includes French Jews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Times of Israel reported<\/a> that \u201cperpetrators did vandalize<\/a> a monument for Holocaust victims in Nanterre, the Paris suburb where the 17-year-old, identified in the French media only as Nahel M., was killed. The perpetrators spray-painted the words \u2018Police scum\u2019 on the monument.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antisemitic chants have also  been heard during the riots, \u201cpart of a well-documented sentiment<\/a> among some Muslims who see Jews as part of an oppressive power structure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jews haven\u2019t been attacked directly yet, these riots remind many French Jews of 2014, when Muslim rioters singled out Jewish-owned shops<\/a> in a Paris suburb nicknamed \u201clittle Jerusalem\u201d due to its large Jewish population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That anti-Jewish violence, which also targeted several synagogues, was partly spurred by Muslim anger toward Jews amid the 2014 Gaza war between Israel and Hamas and other terrorist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we have Israel engaged in a major military operation in the West Bank against Palestinian terrorists using the Jenin refugee camp as a base for attacks against Israelis. This operation began Monday, and we have yet to see its impact on the riots in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the conflict extends in the West Bank, expect things to heat up more in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as The Times of Israel also noted, this violent uprising in Paris is far more widespread than ever before. And might be a turning point for how the French view their suicidally insane immigration policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2014, I was afraid as a Jew. This time, I\u2019m afraid as a Frenchman,\u201d said Jonathan C., noting that he does not have a Middle Eastern appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Times added<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Police and firefighters are common targets of violence by rioters whom many believe are acting out of resentment of French society, where the anti-immigration far right is the second-largest political force.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other incidents are seen by some as reflecting a religious dimension of the riots, which are occurring in heavily Muslim areas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, two unidentified individuals beat up and robbed a priest in Saint-Etienne near Lyon. Disagreements exist on whether the assault, the second attack of a priest in the region in three weeks, was part of the riots.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hate attacks against Christians are multiplying in France, where in 2021 the interior ministry recorded 1,052 anti-Christian hate crimes, nearly double the <\/em>assaults on Jews<\/em><\/a>. It meant that Christians were, in absolute numbers at least, the religious group that was most targeted that year.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This worries many in France. They see the huge number of antisemitic and anti-Christian attacks, as well as attacks against police, as part of a resurgence of radical Islam in unassimilated migrant communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if these riots subside, the bigger danger remains. And that should be a concern for not just Paris, but other major European cities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
