Bravo Paris. FIFA World Cup games and tournaments coming to America. Millions coming to watch and have fun. Will “savages” attack fans and disrupt parties surrounding FIFA events here? Are coordinated terror attacks planned for these venues and host cities? Can American law enforcement stay ahead of what maybe is planned? Once carried out can citizens expect swift justice and protection from further escalation of violence…..lots to think about in the wake of what our French friends deal with almost daily.

I do not agree that the anti semitism is equal on right and left. At least here, the republican party protests the vitriol and violence, the dems, not so much, and include it on their platform. Yes there are so called conservatives, Owens. Carlson Fuentes et al espousing Jew hatred. But they are being called out by true conservatives and republicans.

It's not about comparisons. I habe written quite a bit about it over.the past 3 years. Ever since Covid people have been pushed into extremes on both sides. We will see it get worse over the next 3 years.

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again;    there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say,    “Look! This is something new”?It was here already, long ago;    it was here before our time.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10).

keep shining light on the darkness. be the salt of the earth. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank YOU! You are such a blessing to countless thousands of us trying to keep our feet and way on a darkening and ever more dangerous path in this life and world. You shine the light on this path, the path of Jesus himself, who proclaimed “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” and “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 14 and John 8)

Centuries of European abuse, expulsion and murder if Jews is now being paid back in kind by the murderous Islamists and their supporters that have infiltrated and are conquering their countries. Gd has a long memory and divine justice is playing out in real time. The US needs to internalize the lesson or it’s over.

Final comment: a pox on London and Paris. Both cities and countries have always been rife with anti semitism. Both are now filled with Muslims. Too late for them.

So no police presence at all? I don't understand how the UK and France seem to be sitting back and letting things happen.

It's just out of control.

If I was driver of one of those cars being attacked, I would run those fokers over to get out of there 😖😖😖

A terrifying choice to have to make. And you see would probably end up in prison!

True, but can be called self preservation

I hadn't thought of sports as a political activity, until this article. The greatest political sporting event held was the heavyweight boxing championship between American Joe Louis and German Max Schmeling. It was highly political, but was supposed to showcase the Third Reich's white supremacy.

France, and much of Europe, have been having protests, most against the government, for many years. The last dozen years or so, these protests have been weapon of choice for the (Nazi) Anti-Fa (anti-fascists). Since COVID, these protests seem to be popular (of the people), but there's no telling which groups support them in the background

The general population is given little leeway in these protests by the police/officials, so there isn't much hope that they will be productive for the people. Now we are seeing more destruction and violence. Incidentally, the weak leadership in Europe does not have the backbone to stop Muslim group events. None of these is beneficial to France's, or Europe's, Jewish population. Jews would do well to stay clear of them.

I did some research on football clubs in Poland, they are worse the most violent gangs and extremely racist. Also in Serbia, Croatia, and then across Europe now, sadly. I wrote an essay touching on the topic but haven't had time to devote an essay to it, which it most certainly deserves.

Anne Hidalgo was mayor of Paris from 2014 to 2026. She just spoke at the Umass Boston graduate commencement ceremonies immediately after receiving an honorary doctorate.

We’re seeing gangs of teenagers running out of control on the streets here in the US, too. Not because of football, though. Just doing it to riot and destroy.
