Personal note:antiarabs are also committing these acts to stir and ethnic conflict between to the two groups, so it shouldn't always be assumed that this shit is antijewish.


LYON - An unemployed graphic artist who acknowledged spray-painting swastikas on Jewish gravestones in southeast France told investigators he was inspired by a TV documentary on American neo-Nazi groups, officials said yesterday.

The 24-year-old, identified only as Michael, turned himself in to Paris police Sunday and admitted to desecrating the graves at a cemetery in Lyon on August 9, state prosecutor Xavier Richaud said......


"He is clearly in a racist mind-set, inspired by a hatred of Arabs," Richaud said at a news conference in Lyon.

Authorities said it appeared the suspect worked alone and wanted to be caught by police. A black sweat shirt found at the cemetery had contained traces of DNA that matched the suspect, Richaud said.

3. I don't get something

It seems that the article implies that he desecrated the headstones to frame Muslims.

5. Another incident

This man also appears to be psychologically unbalanced. There have been about 130 anti-Semitic incidents in France alone in 2004. Pointing a finger at one or two who were obviously troubled individuals will not excuse the who trend.

Anyway, this has been going on for years. Munich 1972 is still fresh in the minds of many.

6. Everyone who does this sort of thing is mentally unbalanced. n/t
