In wake of teen deaths, Israel vows to crush Hamas

Really French Anti-Semites?  Broken glass?

Chromeo is still together, so not all is lost.

How is that relevant?

One guy is a Jew and the other is an Arab.

Jew-hating?  Muslim-hating?  Combination of the two?  This Israel-Palestine stuff is ugly enough without all the temper tantrums it causes throughout Euroland all the time.

Well I didn't spend that much time. I exited as soon as I saw "well rockets don't really hurt many people" and "myth."

The perps have been identified as Turks. The Austrian intelligence service is investigating. Politicians from all parties have condemned the attacks.

Who are they attacking?  Is that guy an Israeli or something?

Most of these anti-semites are not only of foreign origin AND anti-French, anti-West as well, Not to mention demonstrations organised by amateurs as these regularly end with rioting since there is real security and they get infiltrated very easily.
By Derspiess' criteria anyways, they would not be considered French.
Last demo went okay btw.


In other news, a Kurd wearing a red keffieh ended in court since the cops thought he might a dangerous anti-semite.

Juste après F. comparaît E., 26 ans, ingénieur, arrêté samedi à Bastille suite à une altercation avec des policiers et au port d'un keffieh. «Mais je suis kurde ! Je n'étais pas en train de manifester, proteste-t-il. Mon keffieh est rouge ! Cela n'a rien à voir avec le keffieh noir des Palestiniens.» E. explique qu'il a vu une femme voilée chuter à terre devant un cordon de CRS, qu'il a voulu courir la relever et que c'est là qu'on l'a interpellé. Au bout de quinze minutes d'interrogatoire, il craque : «Écoutez, je ne voulais pas dire ça, mais vous allez m'y pousser... Je suis désolé pour ceux qui sont propalestiniens dans la salle mais... la Palestine, j'en ai rien à foutre. Je suis kurde. Qu'est-ce qui attaque le peuple kurde en Syrie ? C'est le Hezbollah. Et le Hezbollah, c'est le premier à défendre la Palestine.» Le procureur ne croit pas à son discours, ni à «l'étrange coïncidence» de sa présence devant un cordon de CRS. Il rappelle sa «rébellion» à l'interpellation et réclame quatre mois de prison avec sursis. Après délibéré, E. est relaxé.

Red keffieh= kurt black/white keffieh = Palestine
I thought red keffieh meant pro-PFLP 

He should not have opposed the ID checking I guess and is not so good at finding excuses.

Israeli team playing (Maccabi Haifa) in Austria vs Lille.

My translation from German:

UNESCO declares Middle East Conflict World Cultural Heritage

Paris, Jerusalem (dpo) - The UNESCO has today officially declared the Middle East Conflict a World Cultural Heritage. The organization wants to ensure that one of the most important monuments to human idiocy is protected from possibly being destroyed one day through empathy and willingness to compromise. The recent attempts at mediation by the USA and Egypt are not seen as threat by the UNESCO but rather as part of the conflict that deserves protecting.

UNESCO speaker Michelle Levevre explains the surprising addition to the list of World Heritage: "With its history of more than a century the Middle East Conflict is one of the few constants of modern times. The roots of the dispute reach back into antiquity. Additionally, the Middle East Conflict is a much better testimonial to the character of humanity than all pyramids, castles and Buddha statues combined."

Protected is the Middle East Conflict as comprehensive work. According to the UNESCO this not only includes shrill, uncompromising hardliners, suicide attacks, missile attacks, bombings, violence against children and civilians, or unshakeable belief on both sides to be well within their right to commit those acts. All peace talks are also considered protected part of the Middle East Conflict - as long as they remain without success or consequence and only serve to increase the standing of the third parties involved in the process.

The decision was unanimous after the members of the World Heritage board determined that the Middle East Conflict easily fulfilled most of the ten criterias required for protection (e.g. "master piece of human ingenuity", "exceptional example of cultural tradition" etc.).

Both Israel and the Palestinian National Authority claimed full credit for the elevation of the Middle East Conflict to World Cultural Heritage and promised to do anything necessary to prevent misuse of the title by the other side.

As in other cases the UNESCO is obligated tointervene in case the Middle East Conflict should be threatened in in any way. The organization is confident, however, that this won't be necessary in the coming decades.

Beautiful.  It is a national shame they beat the Onion to it.

Not sure how keen he is on Jews either.

Die Presse commented today, that some young Turks in Austria might be taking their cues from Erdogan who frequently riles against the Jews (he called Israel's behavior in Gaza literally "worse than Hitler", blamed them for the troubles in Egypt, for the Gezi protests etc.). And that for some immigrants who are searching for identity the conflict creates an "Us" (Muslims) vs. "Them" situation that gives them a feeling of belonging.
