(Paris) The Gilets Jaunes or in English "yellow vest" protests began in mid-November last year over fuel taxes. Since then they have broadened into a revolt against President Macron, and a political class seen as out of touch with common people. The protests often turn violent, causing mindless damage.
Yesterday France claimed it was shocked and disgusted after coverage of a hoard of yellow vest protesters hurling anti-Semitic abuse at 69-year-old Jewish academic Alain Finkielkraut in the street .In videos of the incident, protesters can be heard
yelling: "Dirty Jew" and "you're a hater, you're going to die,
you're going to hell," while others called on him to "go
home" and "return to Tel Aviv." In a different clip
demonstrators can be heard screaming anti-Semitic profanities such as
"dirty Zionist shit." Thankfully Police were at hand and whisked him away before somebody took to physical violence.
🔴Quand les #GiletsJaunes croisent le philosophe Alain #Finkielkraut boulevard du Montparnasse, à #Paris, et l'insultent copieusement.#Acte14 #ActeXIV pic.twitter.com/Rgt8ClrAf3— Yahoo Actualités (@YahooActuFR) February 16, 2019
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke out against the
attack stating that "the anti-Semitic insults he
[Finkielkraut] has been subjected to are as the absolute opposite of who we are
and what makes us a great nation. We will not tolerate them." His stance was mirrored by others in Government. Yet not one of them have noticed that the main agitator during the incident sports an Islamic beard and is wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh, funny enough others supporting his stance don't look French either. what with their dark tans and such. yet despite the rise in Anti-Semitism across Europe, nobody has managed to add 1 and 1 together in which to come up with 2 .
Just what is it with European political elites and their inability to call out Islamic based intolerance. I mean they don't have a problem playing the white race hate card when somebody looks funny at an gun bearing blood dripping Islamic terrorist who is screaming 'Allah ackba do they.
