Communist terror training camp lurks near Limoges

After a culprit in the destruction of the Limoges city hall was arrested, it's said there's a terrorist training camp for communists near the township, proving Islamofascists aren't the only ones proving dangerous for Europe:

A known far-left extremist on the French government’s terror watchlist has been arrested after the destruction of Limoges City Hall, as claims mount of a communist “terror training camp” operating in the countryside near the besieged city.

Far from an accidental conflagration caused by a rogue spark, French authorities now say the burning of Limoges City Hall was a planned operation by political extremists and is now being investigated by specialist counter-terrorism prosecutors. A new main suspect was arrested in a dawn raid Tuesday morning by specialist counter-terrorism police in Val-d’Issoire, a village north-west of Limoges, with the suspect allegedly being a known left-wing extremist, reports Le Parisien.

Identified by local newspaper Le Populaire du Centre as 34-year-old Hodei Docampo Ciarra, the Paris-born suspect is said to have smashed windows in Limoges town hall to allow access to the building’s cellars for the alleged arson team. The report states Hodei is “a committed environmental activist” with a criminal record.

According to Le Parisien, he is a known “ultra-left activist” with an ‘S-file’, a flag against his name on the national police computer identifying individuals from all extremist and terrorist backgrounds whore are subject to surveillance as a serious threat to national security. [...]

Others have linked the attack to a known core of ultra-left activists living in the region. French newspaper of record Le Figaro cites remarks by the Mayor of Cannes, free-market liberal French Presidential candidate David Lisnard, who spoke of the existence of “terrorist training camps” on the Plateau de Millevaches, a rural wooded area southeast of Limoges. Described as a “communist stronghold”, it is said that a whole network of radical activists, including foreign activists linked to ‘black bloc’ Antifa, inhabits a series of villages in the area.

These people are “training in urban guerrilla warfare” and acquiring “heavy equipment and weapons for attacks against the police” to wage war in cities, Lisnard said, calling on the government to “dismantle and ban all these small groups”.

If Jean Luc Melenchon ascends to power after this horror connected with his dark movement, it'll be an utter tragedy.

Update: both France and Italy have deployed military forces to contain and prevent more disaster.

Far-left riots in France lead to destruction of ancient Limoges city hall, and Italy's Milan also sees similar incidents

Jean-Luc Melenchon's repulsive communist party's machinations have resulted in the destruction of the Limoges city hall:

Local prosecutors said that at least 15 people have been arrested in connection with the riots that broke out in Limoges and the arson which destroyed the city’s historic City Hall.

The supposed demonstration against the cost of living and education spending on Saturday evening saw the destruction of Limoges City Hall, an 1883 Neo-Renaissance building designed to pay homage to Paris’s Hôtel de Ville.

Designated as a historic monument in 1975, the 143-year-old building was largely destroyed in a fire allegedly set by rioters who entered the building. Dramatic images shared on social media show the building’s tower collapsing amid the conflagration.

According to Limoges prosecutor Emilie Abrantes, police have made “more than 15 arrests” in connection with the fire and the riots, which also saw six police cars burned and multiple businesses in the city centre looted.

The Limoges-based Le Populaire du Centre newspaper reported that, according to a City Hall source, “the rioters entered through a cellar door beneath the council chamber. They reportedly threatened to kill those inside.

When the rioters threaten murder, that speaks volumes. It makes no difference what their ethnic/religious/ideological background is, they cannot remain in the country, period, and exiling violence monsters is going to have to become a serious issue to be brought forth.

And now, of all times, Macron's government actually has what it takes to blame the far-left for this terrible incident:

The French government has accused the far-left of stoking the riots that engulfed the nation on Saturday, resulting in widespread clashes with police, looting of shops, as well as vandalism and arson of government buildings.

What began last month as a small protest over teacher shortages at a school in the Créteil suburb of Paris has become a full-on national revolt, with various leftist unions and other organisations also taking to the streets in cities across the country on Saturday, with an estimated 550,000 demonstrators.

At a press conference in Paris, Minister of the Interior Laurent Nuñez said that unlike other protests, where rioters wait until the end of the event to turn violent, the violence on Saturday “started right from the beginning”, Le Figaro reported.

Nuñez specifically blamed the “radical left” for stoking the riots, saying that “groups of several hundred or thousands of rioters, clearly instigated by the far left, attacked the police,” leaving at least 60 officers injured. He said that around 400 people, mostly adults, have been arrested. However, the minister noted that “the day isn’t over yet.”

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu also pointed to “ultra-left groups” being behind the demonstrations and having “organised violence in several French cities”.

“Peaceful demonstrations have their rightful place in our Republic. Arson, looting, and attacks have no place whatsoever,” he said. “To those who clearly want to use these acts of violence as a ‘warm-up’ before the presidential election, I say this plainly: we will not be intimidated. No one will impose their political agenda through violence.”

Well this sure is audacious of them, after Macron went and made a faustian pact with them just to keep the RN from getting a real majority in parliament a few years ago. Did he actually think this was going to literally change their ideological beliefs and make them take up civilized lifestyles? Sorry, but this is coming awfully late, and now the country's paying a heavy price for Macron's irresponsibilities.

Making matters worse, the riots have now spread even to Italy:

The European anarchy has set the stage for a particularly disturbing scene in Milan, Italy, as one of Christianity's most recognizable landmarks became the backdrop for violent unrest.

Flames rose from makeshift barricades, fireworks exploded, and thick smoke filled the square outside Milan Cathedral, the magnificent Gothic church that has stood at the heart of the city for centuries. [...]

The violence erupted during a left-wing demonstration that drew more than 5,000 people to Milan. What began as a protest over high prices, low wages, and deteriorating public services descended into clashes between police and groups of masked rioters, some of them clearly North African immigrants.

According to Italian news reports, rioters hurled stones, firecrackers, and makeshift explosives at officers while setting fire to rubbish, street furniture, and barricades. Police responded with tear gas, water cannons, and charges.

Windows were smashed, shops closed their shutters, and tourists fled the city center as police fought to regain control of the square. ANSA reported that police officers were injured and approximately 20 people received medical attention in the area.

The cathedral itself was not reported damaged. But the spectacle unfolding beneath its spires was extraordinary. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence.

"Demonstrating is a right. Setting our cities on fire is not," Meloni said in a statement reported by ANSA.

The location makes the images particularly jarring. Milan Cathedral, known as the Duomo di Milano, is one of Europe's great Christian monuments. Construction began in 1386, and its elaborate marble facade and towering spires have become inseparable from the city's identity.

So now it's clear Europe is being plunged into a war that was bound to happen sooner or later, and who knows if anybody in the USA's willing to help them now, after all the horrific university and school indoctrination that went unchecked and uncurbed for many years? I don't believe even the shoddy Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson's willing to go to war if that's what it takes to put an end to what the Religion of Peace is resulting in (and Sean Davis is no better). I mean, where were people like these when Betty Mahmoody was trying to save her daughter from being turned into a hostage of Islam in Iran 4 decades ago? Some people may not realize it, but some of the worst enablers of Islamofascism came from within the conservative movement and put the keys in the ignition for the left to spread further. Those "conservatives" who aren't willing to fight for freedom have no business even commenting on the issues, period.

Update: sadly but predictably, a synagogue was also the subject of looting.

It would be good news if this is so

According to this news, 46 percent of Muslims would consider leaving France if Marine Le Pen's elected president, and they're not the only ones:

Nearly half of all Muslims in France say they would think about going into exile if sovereigntist candidate Marine Le Pen is elected President next year, with a massive one in five followers of Islam saying they would definitely leave the country.

French news magazine Marianne has published the findings of large sample polling conducted for them by Ifop that suggests a large proportion of the country would simply refuse to keep living peacefully in France if their preferred candidates don’t prevail in the April 2027 Presidential Elections. Some 46 per cent of Muslims in the 9,600 respondent poll — a large sample for European polls — said they would consider “leaving France to settle in another country”. [...]

Muslims living in France are not the only group who told the pollster they’d consider going abroad. Almost as welling to sit out a Le Pen Presidency were supporters of hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, who seems a credible candidate to make it to the Presidential run-offs against Le Pen, and whose party has been accused of stoking recent riots in France for their own political ends. According to Marianne, 43 per cent of Melenchon voters say they’d consider leaving France.

With his polling hovering around 17 per cent nationally, the results imply five and a half million leftists in France who would consider reacting to losing an election by moving abroad.

Wonder if the Melenchon commies would be interested in living in Muslim countries? Who knows, maybe they would, though some would surely move to Russia, for all we know, which has plenty of Muslims there already as it is.

This is certainly intriguing news, and for now, it remains to be seen how things will turn out.

Update: for now, what's terrible is the continuing riots, stoked by the "red-green alliance".

Order must be restored in France, and the jihadists cannot be allowed to riot during election

A vital case is made for why order needs to be restored in France, and an important warning made about how the jihadists in France could be plotting to commit mass violence if Marine Le Pen's elected:

France’s latest round of rioting, nominally a protest about underfunded schools, is proving to be unusually violent as well as perversely destructive. Burning down or attacking schools is an unorthodox way of improving them. And there are legitimate fears that the disorder, which is being encouraged, at least to some degree, by leftist agitators who have long since left the classroom, may spread further still. There is speculation that this may even be a dress rehearsal for massive disturbances should Marine Le Pen’s populist-right RN win next year’s presidential elections.

Which beggars the query: does Emmanuel Macron intend to allow this to occur when the election takes place? And if the rioters burning down schools, that proves the claim they want better resources is entirely false.

Meanwhile, mass immigration continued, and, as has been made evident yet again by the current rioting, assimilation has proved incomplete, a failure that now stretches across several generations. As a result, the RN (previously the National Front) has long since emerged from the fringe. These riots will do the RN no harm. On the far left, a relative newcomer, the far-left LFI under Jean-Luc Mélenchon, celebrates the “creolization” of France and is appealing to younger voters, immigrants, and their descendants, as well as to Islamists as co-belligerents, a strategy that the left is using elsewhere in Europe. The role played by some in the LFI, tacit or otherwise, in encouraging violence presumably rests on their understanding that for the right audience, violence makes an excellent recruiting sergeant. Moreover, were it to lead to a response by the authorities that could be characterized as an overreaction or that generates a martyr or two, so much the better. [...]

For now, however, the government needs to restore order — and soon — if the rioting is not to spread further. Thereafter, it will doubtless be focused on the budget and trying to avoid next year’s runoff being between Mélenchon and Le Pen, two tricky problems. As to the first, giving the can another kick down the road looks like a good bet. So far as the second is concerned, a recent speech by one presidential hopeful, former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, in which he called for yet more EU integration merely adds to already overwhelming evidence that France and indeed Europe’s radicalized “centrists” remain incapable of addressing the scale of the disaster they have done so much to create.

There's plenty of valid points to be found here. The Trump administration should also speak out about this more too, and confront Macron on what he intends to do in his last days as president to curb the current violence and disorder, which, last time I looked, has also spread to Belgium and even Italy. And any Americans who aren't willing to help out innocent Europeans won't be helping matters.

Poll finds 4 in 10 young USA citizens support Islamic sharia

I rarely read the Federalist site now, because of how some writers like editor John Daniel Davidson leave a bad aftertaste, but the following report (via Jihad Watch and Front Page), which is favorable to Israel as well, tells the USA has a very sad case of whole generations who were indoctrinated into being Vladimir Lenin's "useful idiots":

A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.

Additionally, according to the Our Republic poll:

Overall, 21% of likely voters said they have a mostly or somewhat positive opinion of sharia, compared with 57% who have a negative opinion. Positive views were much higher among younger Americans, including 43% of voters ages 18–24 and 39% of those ages 25–29.

The reason American youth may be trending this way, according to Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic, is a lack of understanding about the “value [of] the Constitution and the protections it provides.”

It could also be that they lack appreciation of civilized values, and if it turns out they know more than we think about what Islam is like, they're actually okay with it.

Other findings from the same set of polls clarify the suspicion young people have of Israel, with 46 percent of voters ages 18–24 and 60 percent of those ages 25–29 reporting they would support a proposal “to completely dismantle Israel and replace it with a Palestinian-led nation in exchange for ending the war with Iran and providing the United States with lower oil and gas prices.”

Haskins does not believe that American youth who take these positions are necessarily committed Islamists, nor does he believe they are considering Sharia primarily “as an extension of religious liberty.” Rather, says Haskins, “the more important factor is that Muslims are widely perceived as an oppressed or marginalized group in the United States,” he says. “Within that framework, groups perceived as marginalized are often treated sympathetically without much scrutiny of what those groups or their belief systems actually teach.”

That's another chilling problem - they practically indoctrinated into taking predetermined positions, yet if and when it turns out some leftists get caught committing crimes, those who pretend they're not guilty complain the MSM is just cliche-hunting and never does any research. This is exactly why laws are badly needed to deal with such an issue as sharia. It wouldn't be shocking if the pro-sharia crowd they speak of is already willing to support imposing sharia in cities like Dearborn and Hamtramyck, Michigan. Also, if they're against the war on Iran's autocrats, that too speaks volumes, as does their hostility to Israel, and their potential desensitization/willingness to commit violence, the latter which is particularly offensive.

Now since we're on the subject, the Van Zandt County committee in Texas passed a resolution condemning sharia:

Van Zandt County Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday denouncing Sharia, making it the first Texas county to pass a resolution specifically addressing use of the Islamic religious code.

Van Zandt County Precinct 2 Commissioner Cliff Williams said he brought the resolution forward because of an 80-acre land purchase in southern Van Zandt County by a family with ties to Muslim youth organizations.

The resolution was inspired by a draft resolution introduced by Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, that denounces Sharia in the United States. Self’s resolution has not been passed by Congress.

While introducing the resolution, Williams explained how Sharia is practiced in various Muslim-majority countries.

“Sharia, as practiced by governments around the world, is more than a private devotion. It operates as a complete political and legal order,” he said. “Where states enforce it, the record speaks for itself. In Iran, women have been beaten in jail for uncovering their hair. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have sent people to prison and stirred mobs against them on a single person’s accusation.”

Williams also discussed the treatment of women under some interpretations and applications of Sharia, saying a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s, her inheritance is half that of her brothers, and her ability to work, marry or travel can depend on a male guardian.

“It’s not American,” Williams said. “Compare that with what we hold as Americans and Texans. Every person stands equal before the law.”

This is also exactly why even abroad/overseas, we can't just stand idly by while Islam dominates anywhere else. And parents who really care have to start taking serious responsibility for what their children think and end up advocating.

Update: the surveys get worse, as the following from the Buckley Institute reveals there's a considerable number of undergraduate students who believe what Hasan Piker espoused:

Just weeks after the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, a new poll reveals more than one in five undergraduate students believe America deserved the attacks, while nearly half of all undergraduate students think physical violence is justified to stop so-called hate speech.

The Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey polled 803 American undergraduate students between September 5 and 14.

A shocking 22 percent agreed that America deserved 9/11, including 28 percent of liberal students. Notably, leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who campaigned with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and cozies up to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — has said America deserved 9/11. Meanwhile, Aber Kawas, a Democratic Socialist of America member and nominee for the New York state Senate, has said that America brought on 9/11 because of capitalism, alleged white supremacy and racism, and alleged Islamophobia.

The poll also found that 45 percent of American college students believe physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech — among which 54 percent of liberals agree compared to 30 percent of conservatives.

“Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” The Buckley Institute found.

Shortly after Charlie Kirk was murdered on a Utah college campus for his free speech, a YouGov survey conducted from September 10-12 asked respondent whether they think “it is ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals?” Twenty-five percent of respondents who identified as “very liberal” said it can be justified, while 17% of self-identified liberals said the same. Just nine percent of people who identify as either conservative or very conservative said it was justified.

Meanwhile, a recent poll conducted by the Center for Strategic Politics found “Democrats want Trump out by (almost) any means necessary” — including assassination.

Well this is also very chilling, and fully confirms why parents need to stop even sending their children to universities, even if they don't espouse this kind of garbage indoctrination. The influence of violence is a very grave issue that needs serious address everywhere, and Europe too is in sore need of it.

Defeatism in the 1990s

In this article, Dror Eydar talks about the Islamofascist horror engulfing Europe, and brings up something he was told about that occurred in Belgium during the 1990s:

A prominent professor once told me about a conversation he had with a Belgian colleague back in the 1990s. "Look at all the mosques springing up on every corner," he told him. "What will you do when the Muslims actually start taking over Belgium? How will you fight them?"

The Belgian, a devout Catholic, answered candidly: "We won't fight. We'll convert to Islam. They ruled Western Europe once before, so they'll rule it again." While the enemies of the West are prepared to sacrifice their lives to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization, European society is unwilling to pay a price to defend its freedom.

This reminds me of what was said about what the Christian leadership response could be to a movie based on Betty Mahmoody's horrifying experiences in Iran today. Do these people really lack that much confidence they're willing to literally sell out? Additionally terrifying is what the USA public's positions could be on this, recalling how, in a way, the surveys they led to crippled the military's ability to fight the war against Iran on the ground as much as in the air. If the Bush administration, pretentious as it was, was willing to fight Iraq on the ground, and they had no problem with that, why do they suddenly have a problem now, if it could be done the same way and just as effectively? Of course, let's not forget the horrible example Ronald Reagan set when he withdrew the army from Lebanon in 1983, and it's become largely Islamic since.

The incident aboard the flight from Dubai illustrates this principle. Thanks to the sacrifice and quick thinking of Yaniv Hayun, along with the courage of the Indian pilot and other Israeli passengers, many lives were saved and a catastrophe was averted, one that could have emboldened Islamist terrorism.

And if the pilot adheres to Hinduism, it indicates even they have a much more realist view of the need to be vigilant. So perhaps that's why Europeans who need a faith that can give them a reason to live should consider either Judaism or Hinduism? And if it's the former, it needs to be offered without demanding or even expecting the possible convert to follow what the ultra-Orthodox do. That would be a most utterly unsuitable way to handle things.

Trump has what to say about riots in France

Donald Trump's weighed in on the latest terrible riots in France and what's behind them:

President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm over France’s spiraling street unrest, warning that the threat of Islam is taking over the country and fueling a crisis that has now engulfed the country’s schools, streets, and police.

“What’s happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “This isn’t about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country!”

French teenagers stormed back to the barricades Tuesday for a third round of their increasingly violent school revolt — and this time, the adults joined them. Scuffles broke out between protesters and police on the streets of Paris, while clashes flared in Lyon and Strasbourg as hundreds of thousands of high school students once again blockaded their schools.

It's chilling, and also makes clear that in or out of government, Jean Luc Melechon's party, which reportedly incited this, clearly is a troublemaker that's bound to cause hell for France that nobody needs.

Rotten leftist apple in France tries to defame Jordan Bardella

It appears the business of a man who's supposedly favorable to the Jewish community has followed in the footsteps of Britain's, when they refused to support Tommy Robinson earlier. Here, it's a case of the French-based Mediapart trying to defame Jordan Bardella of the National Rally party for antisemitism on social media, even though the primary founder of Mediapart did something very offensive himself:

Jordan Bardella on Tuesday categorically denied being the author, denouncing these messages as “crude forgeries.” He has filed a defamation lawsuit against Mediapart.

In a lengthy post published on X, Amichai Chikli called into question the outlet’s credibility in its coverage of the allegations against Jordan Bardella. He directly attacked Mediapart and its co-founder Edwy Plenel, who led it until 2024. The Israeli minister specifically references Plenel’s early writings in support of Black September, the Palestinian organization responsible for the hostage-taking at the 1972 Munich Olympics, during which eleven members of the Israeli team were killed.

Chikli also taook aim at Mediapart’s current president, Carine Fouteau, for her highly critical stance toward Israel and the way she characterized the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The minister thus calls into question the outlet’s credibility in its coverage of the allegations against Jordan Bardella.

Chikli highlighted the National Rally president’s recent statements against Hamas and antisemitism. In particular, he recaleds Bardella’s visit to Israel last year, during which he went to the Nova Festival site and to communities near the Gaza Strip affected by the October 7 attack. He also highlighted Bardella’s speech during a conference in Jerusalem against antisemitism and his decision to cancel a speech in Washington after a gesture by Steve Bannon that Bardella deemed comparable to a Nazi salute.

For Amichai Chikli, the accusations against Jordan Bardella are part of a campaign to “destroy his reputation” led by a segment of the French left. “We have no confidence in those who spend their adult lives fighting the right of the small Jewish state to exist,” he wrote, before directly calling out those who, in his view, have in the past supported the perpetrators of the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich.

I seem to recall noticing that years before, Mediapart was going after right-wing figures like Nicholas Sarkozy, and while he was otherwise a disappointment, right down to his being anti-Donald Trump, he's still peanuts in comparison with figures like the leaders of France Insoumise, and that Mediapart would only concern themselves with people like Sarkozy but not leftists like Jean Luc Melechon does speak volumes.

So I'm not accepting what Mediapart says about Bardella, and I hope Jewish leaders in France know better than to go along with this entirely at face value, mainly because one report stated Mediapart didn't explain how exactly they got the "dirt" on him.

And Chikli's right to point to how Bannon sadly wrecked his credibilities by being lenient on antisemitism and doing sick tricks like National Socialist salutes. That was simply repellent and in poor taste.

Jean Luc Melechon's monstrous party incited riots in France

The repugnant political party of far-left Jean Luc Melenchon, France Insoumise, incited riots in France that led to considerable damage, and there were even Muslims involved:

Paris and numerous other French regional cities were engulfed in the chaos of mass-scale violent riots and protests incited by the far-left on Thursday, with hundreds of reported acts of vandalism, arson, blockades of school facilities, and assaults against law enforcement agents and civilians.

French government officials and politicians have accused the far-left La France Insoumise of inciting the dramatic wave of urban violence that left at least 1,949 arrested and at least 305 police officers and gendarme agents injured.

According to French outlets, the majority 90 percent detainees are minors involved in the chaotic acts.

Several student protests have rocked the European nation in recent days after they initially erupted at a high school in Créteil on September 18, with participants allegedly demanding better conditions and resources for their schools and a solution to overcrowded classrooms and a lack of teachers as the manifestations expanded across the French territory.

The protests, however, rapidly strayed away from their alleged peaceful nature and became increasingly violent this week, with over 440 individuals — mostly minors — being detained nationally on Tuesday. [...]

Per Reuters, the French government was informed by the nation’s intelligence agencies during an emergency crisis meeting that La France Insoumise was behind Thursday’s wave of violence. The party has since then reportedly denied the allegations.

No shock at all they refuse to take responsibility. And this is a party that Emmanuel Macron ended up helping to undermine Marine Le Pen's chances of better success in the parliamentary elections? He has nobody but himself to blame along with Melanchon and company themselves.

Le Pen also shared footage of one of the most harrowing moments of Thursday’s protests. In the video shared by the politician, a young policewoman being chased by a mob of violent protesters in Paris before the violent protesters throw her down to the ground and assault her. Le Pen emphasized that such violent acts demand “exemplary punishment,” speaking for millions of French people to offer support to the attacked law enforcement official.

According to French outlets, a man is heard yelling “By Allah, you filthy wh*re! By Allah, kill her.”

Le Pen’s deputy, Jordan Bardella emphasized that the images of the assaulted police woman illustrate what France has become “after decades of lax enforcement and mass immigration.” “How much longer are we going to tolerate this barbarism? How much longer are we going to let our country sink into ruin without doing anything about it?” He asked.

What occurred at the incident involving the attack on the policewoman says all you need to know about whom Melechon's courting, in addition to the clues involving Moslems at the scene. If he's elected after this, it'll be a disaster and a horror. And no doubt, this riot must've been Melechon's revenge for the Pope's visit to Paris, where he did impress upon many people.

Dutch government ignores their own crisis of Muslim grooming gangs

While the Dutch government attacks Israel over its right to self-defense, they ignore/enable Muslims in their own country to commit sexual violence, and a local girl paid the price for their biases (via Jihad Watch):

An 18-year-old woman has been gang raped and beaten by up to ten different men, many of them with a Syrian background, in the Dutch city of Dordrecht. Although the rape occurred in May 2025, the suspects are only now being arrested. In response to the rape, political leader Geert Wilders wrote that the Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs and called for all the perpetrators to be removed from the country along with their families.

Six suspects have now been arrested, aged 20 to 23. During the incident, the girl, who lived in a residential group home, was driven to two different parking lots and raped by several men, some of whom filmed the assault and shared it on Snapchat. Police say the woman was humiliated and beaten.

“A bruise on the cheek, a tooth through the lip and a swelling on the knee,” described one source. “It is a very serious criminal offense where all boundaries have been crossed and the victim has been treated very disrespectfully. As if she were an object that everyone could use.”

The incident has already attracted attention from politicians in the Netherlands, including PVV leader Geert Wilders.

“Teen victim of gang rape by Syrians. Raped by ten boys at different parking lots. The Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs. The Netherlands needs an unprecedented cleanup. All that scum out. With their families. No mercy,” he wrote on X.

Similarly, even Britain's been enabling rape gangs to roam free (also via Jihad Watch):

Oxford grooming gang survivors and former police officers have said they believe "hundreds" of Pakistani rape gang perpetrators are on the loose in the ancient city.

Oxford was one of the towns and cities across Britain where most of the vile perpetrators were identified as older men of Pakistani heritage.

Twenty-one men have been convicted in connection with the Oxford grooming gang - but survivors say there are many more who have never faced justice.

One woman detailed how grooming gang members gave her cigarettes laced with heroin and sexually abused her from the age of 11.

More than two decades later, three men were found guilty of abusing her and were jailed for between five and 24 years in 2020.

She feels the sentence was not enough, saying "they should stay in there forever, because obviously they've taken my life".

There was also a similar problem in France recently, including sexual violence along with antisemitism there too, and insufficient action taken. With this news, we see how in addition to antisemitism, misogyny is something they're incredibly lenient upon, and this is getting repulsive enough already as it is. Who knows if any stop will be put to it?

Native French could become minority in own country by 2050 if mass Muslim migration continues

According to the following research:

The French people face the prospect of becoming a minority in their own homeland by as early as the middle of the century, should the political establishment in Paris continue to embark upon its mass migration agenda, a leading think tank has warned.

The report from the Paris-based Immigration and Demography Observatory (OID), initially published in Le Figaro, attempted to forecast the future demographics of the French nation in the coming decades under different immigration policies. The OID acknowledged that this task is a “complex exercise” and has significant “difficulties”, including the imperfect data on migration flows and fertility collected by the French government, not to mention the unpredictability of the future. [...]

The think tank noted that even though this outcome was classified as its most extreme, given their self-imposed three-generation limit, the increasing level of migratory flows, the declining birth rate among women born in France, and the rising birth rate of women from sub-Saharan Africa, they believe this was a “very conservative” prediction and “likely underestimates the projected proportion of immigrants and their descendants within the population.”

Well this is exactly why the native population has to start working on raising more children of their own again, and the same can be said of Italy. No country that cares about safety and sanity can afford to just refuse to work on childbirthing anymore, and it's something that has to be worked on now.

This is why I hope that Pope Leo, who visited Paris for a mass Christian gathering, is now willing to change his MO and advocate for something more positive, after the embarrassments he was performing earlier in PR:

Hundreds of thousands of Catholics poured into Paris on Saturday as Pope Leo XIV held Mass in the city centre, spreading a message of religious revival amid modern secularism stemming from the French Revolution and calling on the faithful to “bring hope wherever discouragement and spiritual dryness prevail.” The first papal visit to France occurred in 754, when Pope Stephen II crossed the Alps to visit the Frankish kingdom and anointed King Pepin, son of Charles Martel, hero of the Battle of Tours and father of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. At the time, Pope Stephen remarked that the Franks were more “glorious than other nations” in their service of the Church.

Now, nearly 13 centuries later, after decades of decline and rising numbers of non-believers, the Church in France appears to be reviving, with baptisms of adults and teenagers hitting record levels this year in France, up 20 per cent over 2025.

The strength of the Catholic Church, which remains the largest religion in France, was on full display on Saturday, as an estimated 800,000 faithful flocked to the Champs-Élysées and the Place de la Concorde in central Paris for an outdoor mass led by Pope Leo XIV. [...]

Formerly known as the Place de la Révolution (Revolution Square), the site served as the central stage for many key events of the French Revolution, notably the Reign of Terror mass guillotine executions, including those of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette and thousands of others.

During the final days of the Terror, many of the most prominent revolutionaries were also executed at the site, including arch anti-Catholic Maximilien Robespierre, who sought to displace the power of the Church with a ruthless and modernist state, which ultimately turned against him.

The Pope touched on the sacrifice of French Catholics while visiting Parcours des Martyrs at the Catholic Institute of Paris, which stands as the site where over 100 bishops and priests were killed by radical revolutionaries in 1792, during the September Massacres, after they refused to renounce their allegiance to the Church.

The vital question, however, is if Leo is changing his earlier stance, which was defeatist. If he doesn't, he could undermine what impact his current visit's had. The question is whether he wants Europe to one day be safe again. So far, he hasn't made any statements acknowledging he opposes replacing native populations with Islamic adherents. Does that provide reason to find Leo's visit encouraging? Here's more about the tour here.

Moral assymentry is horrific

Adam Milstein writes about how the USA is failing to honor the victims of Islamic terrorism ever since 9-11:

We promised never to forget, and to defend our American freedoms and way of life in memory of those who perished that day. But sadly, over time, our promise to America has evaporated. The evidence is everywhere: in our classrooms, in our city halls, and in the fastest-growing factions of our own politics.

As America marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, while celebrating 250 years since its founding, those anniversaries compel us to confront a question that is uncomfortable but unavoidable:

What happens when a civilization loses confidence in its own values while its enemies remain completely convinced of theirs?

The threat of radical Islam, foreign and domestic, has not receded. It has spread.

The terrorists of 2000 wanted to murder Americans abroad, and the terrorists of 2001 wanted to destroy American lives and symbols on our homeland. Today’s Islamist threat can still take the form of terrorism, but it also operates through propaganda, political influence, ideological networks and efforts to reshape how Americans normalize, accept, and even cherish radical Islam.

The examples are no longer isolated. In August, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) promoted a back-to-school resource guide that blamed 9/11 on “American support for Israel” and recommended Osama bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America” to students. After deserved backlash, the material was removed.

Imagine a curriculum about Pearl Harbor that treated Japanese propaganda as required reading while suggesting that American policy was fundamentally responsible for the attack.

We would immediately recognize the moral inversion.

If they did, would it be because religions of the far east aren't built on the same kind of barbarism those of Islamic countries are? Although some could reasonably wonder if today, any moral inversion emphasizing the National Socialist ideology that grew in Germany during WW2 would be considered acceptable.

The problem is moral asymmetry.

When Islamist extremists attack the West, we are told to examine the grievances that supposedly caused them to act.

When Western countries defend themselves, we are told that their very existence is the problem.

When Islamists or their sympathizers are criticized, the discussion immediately shifts to Islamophobia.

This moral relativism is one of the most dangerous weapons available to an extremist movement.

Because if there is no objective distinction between terrorism and self-defense, between murdering civilians and fighting terrorists, between democratic government and authoritarian rule, then there is no moral basis for defending civilization at all.

They understand something that many Western elites have forgotten, ideas matter.

Osama bin Laden understood that he was fighting not simply the American military but American pride. His objective was not merely to kill Americans. It was to convince Americans that their civilization was corrupt, illegitimate and unworthy of defending.

Twenty-five years later, we are helping him make that argument.

Some could say it all began with the Bush administration, which tried at the time to take steps to "convince" the Islamic world that American culture isn't "materialistic and lewd". Bush's appeasements are something Daniel Greenfield also brings up, and that there's a chilling number of people now in the MSM and on the left who're justifying Islamic terrorism:

“Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that,” President George W. Bush had claimed in remarks at a mosque after 9/11 while accompanied by terror-linked Islamists. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace.”

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently asked the former president to talk about his mosque visit after the attacks to “make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn’t blame them for what had happened.” Bush chimed in, “I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace, not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.”

Muslims, however, don’t agree. It’s not just the generation of Islamic terrorist attacks that have taken place in America since then, the vast majority of which were not organized or planned out by any central terror network like Al Qaeda, but by ordinary Muslims living in the United States.

Some of them may have even paid their taxes.

While Bush was nostalgically recalling his comments after 9/11, the father of Todd Beamer, one of the heroes who led the effort to retake Flight 93 from the Islamic terrorists who had hijacked it, was recording a commercial against Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. David Beamer had not previously gotten involved in politics, but El-Sayed had been campaigning with Hasan Piker, a Turkish Muslim influencer who said that “America deserved 9/11” and recently told an interviewer that “pound for pound”, America was worse than Al Qaeda and that was too much.

What does it say that Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani, the two most prominent Muslim politicians right now, have both been tied to a Muslim who said, “America deserved 9/11”?

Or that the biggest expansion of Islamic political power in America came after Muslims rallied on behalf of Hamas after Oct 7 (Hasan Piker had defended Hamas as “a militant resistance comprised of orphaned soldiers born into a 77-year occupation” and dismissed its atrocities as “rape fantasies”) and in doing so hijacked the Democratic Party to elect terrorist supporters.

Their current crop of candidates includes Melat Kiros, a Colorado congressional candidate who refused to condemn a Muslim terrorist setting a Holocaust survivor on fire, Dariazila Avila Chevalier, a Muslim congressional candidate in New York City who attended a rally celebrating the Oct 7 massacres, Aisha Wahab, a Muslim congresswoman in California who called for diplomatic relations with the Taliban, and Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, the former translator for the Blind Sheikh terror leader at the center of the World Trade Center bombing, and who had volunteered for an Al Qaeda front group. The mask is off and they aren’t hiding it anymore.

A vital lesson could be learned from this, that when nobody's vigilant enough, it's a "conservative" who could end up sowing the seeds of defeat, as Bush did when he basically groveled, and repeated his defeatist positions later on too. Why, the French president Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who was in office during 1974-81, was also "right-wing", and he enabled mass Muslim immigration to France that's taken a horrifying toll since. Even Ariel Sharon was supposedly "right-wing", and was another example who turned out to be a monster. That's why anybody who cares has to pay careful attention so that the right isn't infiltrated by bad actors as the left has. Today's generation of conservatives thankfully seems to have what it takes for that, but it still may not be enough. More vigilance is needed.

America before the dhimmitude propaganda took hold

Tim Rice tells about how the USA got to where it is now with Islam having taken hold in the quarter century since September 11, 2001:

It’s popular among a certain sort to point out that Islam has always been a fact of American life — Thomas Jefferson owned a Koran, don’t you know — but that’s not really true. Before 9/11, Islam was only tangentially relevant in American life. As recently as 1993, the journalist Robert Kaplan was still using the term “Moslems,” which feels like “Boer” or “Hottentot” or something else we left in the 19th century.

But on September 11, 2001, Islam and America collided, and the former has been on a speedrun in our country ever since.

It’s fascinating but not entirely surprising that an Islamic terror attack on the United States somehow led to the rapid mainstreaming of radical Islam in this country. Countries tend to import bits of former enemies’ cultures, like how we all drive Hondas and the Japanese love baseball. But the acceptance of even the most vile and un-American forms of Islam was hastened by the liberal obsession with fighting “Islamophobia” during the War on Terror, an arguably good intention that paved the road down which folks like Abdul El-Sayed now trod.

Our problem is not a lack of awareness necessarily — consumers of conservative media at least are familiar with things like the footwashing station in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport and the semi-autonomous Muslim town in Texas. The problem is that even those of us paying attention don’t appreciate how quickly we got here.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, consider the scandal that rocked the 10th: the planned construction of an Islamic community center blocks away from the site of the terrorist attack. Dubbed the “Ground Zero Mosque,” the project was almost universally derided. Howard Dean said the project was “a real affront to people who lost their lives” on 9/11, while then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called for the builders to pick a different site.

It’s hard to imagine Democrats reacting that way now, and that’s a problem. But even in 2011, things had gotten away from us. Reid and Dean broke with President Barack Obama, who defended the project. Obama may not be a secret Kenyan Muslim, but he sure did his best to make criticizing Islam socially unacceptable.

Even years before, both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were already enabling footholds, and there were alleged conservatives who were just as hostile as some leftists to the whole notion of daring to speak negatively about the Religion of Peace. Tucker Carlson's quite possibly one of those. Many of these same people are more than utterly willing to call even 911 Families "bigots and xenophobes", and in the past quarter century, I remember a man from Titusville, PA, claiming to be a teacher, who said that while he may not call a kid whose firefighting father died in the WTC tragedy a bigot, he would be perfectly willing to say he was wrong to come within even miles of saying anything negative about the Religion of Peace. Its makes no difference whether somebody's willing to employ crude language or not, what's offensive there is that somebody in a position of "education" is basically saying survivors of 911 and their families have no moral authority and are systematically forbidden to address serious issues like these in any way, shape or form. And it should be noted the man I speak of later embraced a book laced with anti-American metaphors that minimized sexual violence. That man, to my knowledge, died 4 years ago at just 57 years old, of an illness, but the damage people like him did to morale and unity is stunning. And that people like him were willing to support books with repulsive viewpoints speaks volumes.

I've thought at times about what Rice says on the high liklihood the Democrats today wouldn't say a word against building a mosque near Ground Zero. And the election of Zohran Mamdani to mayoral office in NYC is additionally chilling, because it speaks volumes about what kind of electorate now resides in the Big Apple, and not just Muslims themselves. It also makes clear how many non-Muslim leftists now reside in a burg I myself never felt much attachment to, and that spells serious trouble going forward. Especially if they reelect Mamdani in the next few years.

When will France recognize these specific injustices?

That's what Freddy Eytan's asking when it comes to history issues:

By definitively rehabilitating Brigadier General Alfred Dreyfus, restoring to him his dignity as a soldier and officer, the French Republic and army have finally regained their honor. They had lost it during the dark years of Petain, at the time of the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, when the Israelis faced death. France had adopted an incomprehensible and cowardly policy. Even today, with each event in our region, it loses its dignity, its honor, and its universal values. It refuses to stand with the free world, to recognize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a terrorist organization, as Great Britain has recently done. In doing so, it fails to realize that it is indirectly supporting the Islamist camp, all those who advocate hatred of Jews, antisemitism, boycotts, and the destruction of the Jewish state.

Following the successive failures of French policy, following the disputes, crises and misunderstandings between our two countries, it is high time to re-examine our bilateral relations because they play a considerable role of influence on the Muslim community in France and allow politicians to manipulate and win over voters in each election campaign.

Of course, this is not about boycotting and cutting ties with the Arab world, but about fighting together against jihadist enemies and fanatics.

Glad to know somebody's not throughly lost faith in a country that also built the Statue of Liberty 2 centuries ago. But I would just make clear that so long as the Arabic world adheres to Islam, that's why a boycott may unfortunately be in order until they abandon it. Certain stands and standards have to be maintained.

Will alleged deal with Iran include surrender of nuclear materials?

Now, president Donald Trump says a deal with Iran will be signed on Sunday, ahead of a G7 conference he's attending:

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a deal with Iran will be signed on Sunday, ahead of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) at the White House and his departure for the G7 in Evian-les-Bains, France.

A short time after Pakistani Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar told Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan that the deal will be signed electronically, Trump took to Truth Social to confirm the deal will be formalized.

[...] The president said the deal does not include cash exchanges and the nature of his administration’s relationship with Iran is substantially different than that of his predecessors.

“Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands,” he wrote.

Trump added that, at some point, the United States will retrieve the “Nuclear Dust” — enriched uranium that was buried by B-2 Bomber strikes at Natanz, Fordow, and Esfahan in Operation Midnight Hammer a year ago. Iran allowing the United States to retrieve and destroy this material had been a key redline of the president’s throughout negotiations.

Now here's one serious problem: Iran's reportedly trying to seal openings to the underground storages where they've kept the uranium with mines in order to make it difficult for the USA military to reach those areas, if at all. If such reports are factual, that's not shocking Iran's tyrants would do that, but it certainly won't make things any easier.

And of course, the Iranian dictatorship, as it stands now, cannot be allowed to continue running the country in any way. They've threatened to attack Israel again because of the IDF's continued work in Lebanon to defeat the Hezbollah, and if they do, that'll only confirm the regime has no intention of cooperating with even Trump. So it still remains to be seen what'll be the outcome.

Riots break out in Belfast, Ireland after Sudanese Muslim tried to behead local

Once again, infiltration of the Religion of Peace into once safe countries has resulted in violence against innocents, to which the local public has responded with outrage:

Bedlam broke out in Belfast on Tuesday evening as protests turned violent and rioters set fires to vehicles and homes in the wake of an apparent beheading attempt allegedly at the hands of a Sudanese migrant.

Horrific footage of the stabbing attack on Monday evening, in which a man was seen repeatedly stabbing another man’s neck, inflamed tensions in Northern Ireland, which had previously been the site of anti-mass migration.

On Tuesday morning, police announced that they had arrested a man in his 30s from Sudan who had been granted leave to remain status by the UK Home Office after being granted in 2023, after having travelled through Paris and Dublin, ultimately entering the UK territory through the soft open border with the Irish Republic.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, protests over the alleged attempted murder were held across the city, some of which descended into scenes of chaos and violence. Multiple vehicles, including a city bus and a police car, were set on fire by rioters.

Well, we can see now where Europe is sadly headed in the near future. More on the subject here. It's very sad as it's also horrifying what's occurred, yet local politicians vehemently refuse to convincingly address the issue and perform the mass deportations needed to curb such horrors.

Churches in France continue to be desecrated by Muslims

Anti-Christian persecution in France is also as common as anti-Semitism, and here's an example of a church that was vandalized (via Jihad Watch):

Vandals desecrated the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine in Toulon, France, damaging a statue of the Virgin Mary at one of the region’s most visited Marian pilgrimage sites.

On June 9, the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon reported the desecration of the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine, a prominent Marian pilgrimage site overlooking the harbor of Toulon in southern France. Church authorities announced that a statue of the Virgin Mary was damaged in an act of vandalism discovered in recent days by the priest of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul parish, which is responsible for the shrine. The diocese has filed a formal complaint with the authorities.

According to a report released by Tribune Chrétienne, the damage was identified after the parish priest inspected the site at the summit of Mount Faron. The pedestal supporting the statue, known as Notre-Dame du Mont Faron, had been knocked over and broken. The wooden statue itself also suffered damage. Church officials reported a crack in one of the feet and additional deterioration to the head that will require restoration work. The statue has since been removed and secured pending repairs.

At this stage, the diocese indicated, no information has been made public regarding those responsible for the desecration or the reasons behind it.

In all cases, the perpetrators arrested have turned out to be Muslims, and if they're allowed to continue growing in numbers in Europe, this will tragically continue apace.

Geert Wilders is right: when streets turn violent, we must reclaim them

Following riots in France that occurred after a sports match, Geert Wilders has written about the need to take back our streets for safety's sake:

Following a football match, rioters in Paris went on a rampage in the French capital, looting shops setting cars on fire, attacking, even firing at police officers. Videos and television footage showed that many rioters had an immigrant background. It is a scene Europeans have become all too familiar with – not just in France, but all over the continent.

In the past decades, Europe’s ruling elites have allowed millions of immigrants from Africa and the Islamic world to settle in our midst. Some of them hate their host country to the extent that they want to destroy it. They loot and vandalize, assault and rape, and even murder.

Leading politicians – such as Emmanuel Macron in France, Rob Jetten in my own Netherlands, Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, and many others in their ivory towers – think that people do not notice what is going on. But they do notice, and they are deeply worried. They want the chaos to stop. They also realize the root cause of our societal break-down: Mass immigration by people who contribute absolutely nothing to our societies and reject our cultural values.

While our cities begin to resemble war zones, our governments continue their march of folly. In my country, the authorities want to force literally every municipality in the Netherlands to house a quota of asylum seekers. These fortune seekers, many of whom are young men, are being lodged in hotels, holiday resorts, former schools, former army barracks, even on cruise ships.

I have called on the Dutch people to resist – firmly, but always in a non-violent manner – the establishment of centres for asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods. I have recently begun a nation-wider resistance tour, visiting local communities where the authorities are planning new asylum centres.

The response has been overwhelming. The mainstream media do not report on the protests because the demonstrators are peaceful and law-abiding.

It is not our people who go rampaging in the streets, ravaging their neighbourhoods! We are not conquerors like the thugs in the streets of Paris; we defend our homes. We do not destroy our communities; we love them. We do not loot our neighbours; we protect them. We do not harass and attack our women; we stand up for them.

Well if Donald Trump can perform mass deportations of monsters from the USA, so can European governments, and that's something the public must dedicate itself to demanding now. Wilders is right that something must be done.

Sex-segregated halal restaurant in Lyon closed over health violations

Over in France, a halal restaurant that operated according to Islamic beliefs in sex-segregation was closed in addition to that for health violations:

The Seven Times restaurant in Vaulx-en-Velin has been shut down by the local prefecture, pending the fulfillment of no less than 39 corrective measures for serious breaches of local hygiene rules. But this isn’t the first controversy for Lyon’s “largest halal-certified food court.”

Last December, Seven Times launched an all-girls room, which was finally ended over outcries of discrimination. The restaurant insisted that the “100% girls” area had zero link to Islam. But locals weren’t buying it.

National Rally (RN) deputy Jérôme Buisson at the time denounced the move as “unacceptable and illegal separatism” in a post sharing a TikTok video from the restaurant’s channel that clearly indicates only women may go to the girls-only room (seemingly in the back and completely shut away), while the rest of the restaurant, out in the open, is reserved for men. The man in the video is clearly pleased with the space provided for men, seemingly referencing some sort of cultural norm that this is appropriate.

Unfortunately, this is France, and people responded accordingly.

French law also stipulates that any establishment open to the public, such as a restaurant, cannot deny service or restrict access to specific areas based on sex.

When such an establishment even fails to uphold health standards, you know something's wrong.

Hugh Fitzgerald, commenting on the issue, said:

The case isn’t over, but I think rather than giving the owners of Seven Times the chance to literally clean up their act, given the great number of serious infractions of the code, it will be shut down. I’m guessing the owners will not give up, but move far from Lyons, open another health hazardous restaurant for halal-only clients in, say, Marseille, with its huge Muslim population, and do just fine, until another set of health inspectors from the Mairie comes a-calling, and shuts down that restaurant too.

Marseille is definitely another place that's in serious danger of Islamofascism, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

USA ambassador to France hears what Jewish-French teens have to cope with

Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner and ambassador to France, held a meeting with Jewish-French teenagers who're on the front lines in the crisis involving antisemitism in the country, perpetrated as it mainly is by Muslims:

It was supposed to be just another official visit on the busy schedule of US Ambassador to France Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner.

But when Yonès, an 18-year-old from Rennes in northwestern France, refused to accept an official letter from the embassy explaining his absence from school, the masks began to fall. Yonès did not want his teachers - and certainly not his classmates - to know he was a member of a Jewish youth movement. In fact, apart from his best friend, no one at school knows he is Jewish.

Yonès’s confession was only the opening moment of an emotional and unusual meeting held at the ambassador’s official residence on the prestigious Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Ambassador Kushner invited young leaders from CTeen, the worldwide Chabad youth network, to hear firsthand what life is like for a Jewish teenager in France in 2026.

For two hours, the ambassador and his wife Seryl spoke not about high diplomacy, but about real life. Kushner asked direct questions: “What does it feel like to be Jewish today in a secular French school?" The answers he received were simple and painful. Since October 7, 2023, schools have become a social battlefield for many of them.

“These are teenagers living on the front line of antisemitism," said Rabbi Mendy Mottel, director of CTeen France, who accompanied the group. “The ambassador wanted to know what is really happening in the hallways, what they feel when they walk into a classroom knowing they may be the only Jews in the room."

Here's also the same story on the Jerusalem Post site:

A private meeting between Jewish teenagers from across France and US Ambassador Charles Kushner exposed the daily reality facing young Jews in French public schools, where some said they hide their identity, remove visible Jewish symbols, and wait all week for the chance to reconnect with Jewish peers.

Nine members of CTeen France, Chabad’s global Jewish teen network, visited Kushner and his wife, Seryl, on May 4 at the official US ambassador’s residence on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, Chabad.org reported. The teenagers, ages 14 to 18, came from CTeen chapters around the country and spoke with the ambassador for two hours about life as Jewish students in France.

One of the teenagers, Younes, 18, from Rennes in northwestern France, reportedly declined an official embassy letter explaining his absence from school because he did not want teachers or classmates to know he was active in a Jewish youth movement. According to CTeen representatives, only his best friend at school knows he is Jewish.

When Kushner asked the teenagers what it felt like to be Jewish in a secular French school, they described years of antisemitism in classrooms and a sharp rise in hostility since the October 7 massacre, Chabad.org reported.

Read more, but seriously, it's annoying that they describe the classroom as "secular" when there could be Muslims "studying" there. It's terrible this is the case. But that's exactly why on the one hand, they have to support movements for exiling the Religion of Peace from the country, and on the other hand, they should also back women and children's safety movements, since many women and children have fallen victim to violence, sexual and physical, committed by Islamofascists. And I hope Mr. Kushner will give his backing to that position too.
