A 12 year old Jewish girl is brutally gang raped in a Paris warehouse and French society is shocked. But why?
For years it was defacto state and media policy to deny, obfuscate and downplay the blatantly racist Islamist driven antisemitism and sexual violence rife in immigrant communities.
Letβs start with an example of otherwise accurate reporting of the event in Le Monde the mainstream paper read by the establishment.
βWhat happened on Saturday, June 15, in the northwestern Paris suburb of Courbevoie? On Tuesday, three teenagers aged between 12 and 13 were charged, as part of a judicial investigation, with "aggravated rape, aggravated sexual assault, attempted extortion, invasion of privacy, death threats, violence and insults, the latter two offenses being aggravated (...) because of the victim's religious affiliation." They are suspected of assaulting a 12-year-old Jewish girl. The news drew strong reactions from the Jewish community and unanimous condemnation from politicians.β
It is the glaring omission in this report of the religious and ethnic identity of the perpetrators in relation to the religious and ethnic identity of their victim that is significant. The heart of the matter.
The 12 and 13 year old children turned rapists are unanimously condemned and charged. The law will do its bit.
There is also unanimous condemnation and justified outrage at the buildup of Antisemitism in France. The French president will tackle Antisemitism in schools. All good.
But will this time be different? Different from all the other times Jews in France were targeted by individuals and groups that share an ethnic and religious identity with the perpetrators?
Will those identities be named? Analysed? Held accountable?
Where did 12 and 13 year old children learn to hate their fellow Jewish citizens to commit such a heinous crime against another child?
What are they taught at home, in their communities, in their media, at the mosque and online about Jews in the name of their religion?
White, far right Antisemites were ostracised in France and in Europe.
They were named and shamed. Their ideology shown to be violent and murderous.
The Islamist driven antisemitism of today will only be defeated if its agents are also named and shamed. Its theological foundations has to be exposed and unanimously rejected. Anyone who espouses it - hiding behind Anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel must be excluded from polite society.
The sooner this is addressed the more credible the promises to protect Jewish communities in Europe will be.
Anything less than a full autopsy of the ethno-religious hatred that resides in the hearts and minds of many in the Muslim immigrant communities of France is just another empty ritual.
@SoniaPoulton So this gave them a golden ticket to rinse these services under the disguise of protecting 'our NHS'
It was theirs when it benefited them. It's ours now it's effed up beyond all recognition.
Well here I am all shocked and that, no really. .
The average person I'm afraid has no concept of how unavailable most basic services are until they or someone they care about need them.
SPOILER ALERT: They aren't there.
Trying to dismiss the NHS's eye-watering waiting lists, Sunak told the BBC last night that "most reasonable people can see this election is about the future".
Really?
I think his party's track record on the NHS makes it utterly unfit for office.
14 years of destruction.
@doctor_oxford They won't do anything to improve it because these people don't use it.
I'm 44 & recently diagnosed with cancer that's spread all over the place. It had 7+ years to do so. My severe symptoms were considered imaginary until 4-5 weeks ago.
I wont be seeking treatment from them.
@NathanJRobinson@petersavodnik 20-30 years ago dyed hair and tattoos were non conformist, that's hardly true now.
Both are fine, but let's not pretend it's simply a sign of a free thinking individual expressing themselves.
In large part, this is just a new uniform.
@Telegraph What is wrecking my head more than the diagnosis and the fact that the MRI flagged more suspicious looking areas is that you're then in a position where you have to trust the same organisation to treat it, should you go ahead. Everybody deserves better.
@Telegraph I've lived a much longer life than this poor girl but probably a lot less than the one I'd have lived had they not spent all that time dismissing, condescending to me and removing me from the cancer pathway due to a sub optimal inconclusive biopsy 4 1/2 years ago.
@Telegraph I'm 44, I've just been diagnosed with cancer that I have had the symptoms for for 7 years but were 'normal for a woman of a certain age' and in my imagination which I'm sure we can all agree is some very powerful manifesting on my part.
@JANGZ999 @Miss_Snuffy Servitude? That's just emblematic of why this didn't work. Your kids are at school to work. The staff are there to ensure ALL of the children are nurtured and educated. Secular schools do not exist to serve and conform to a religious ideology.
@huseyin_gokalp@Miss_Snuffy Any pupil that could get in I'd imagine.
There's a huge difference between hate and a refusal to pander for the benefit of the few. She stood up for the Muslim children being intimidated by others. That isn't hate, that's fairness.
@Miss_Snuffy I recently watched your conversation with Peter Boghossian and I'm just in awe of your passion for education. It really shouldn't be the exception that a school works so hard to build community. I think it's invaluable. This needs to be the rule to foster stability but just isnt
@Miss_Snuffy My child is so bright and was just failed at her school. She did incredibly in spite of it but I'd be experiencing some serious gratitude if she had been able to attend a school like Michaela. Kind of disgusted by this whole thing but so glad it ultimately lost.
@jk_rowling@StAustellAdam You're a legend for so many reasons but standing up for detransitioners at a time when so many are discounting them or In some kind of weird denial of their existence is what compassion and courage actually look like. β€οΈ
@jk_rowling@StAustellAdam A stark difference here is you did what was right, not knowing what the consequences would be, they did what was easy. You've also done it with a lot of grace and compassion and often on behalf of people that aren't listened to when they speak x
@jk_rowling@StAustellAdam Something I find really difficult to watch is the public figure tendency to say what's popular. It just shouldn't be a race to condemn someone for their views, not someone that until 5 minutes before you're saying is a decent person.
