The alleged rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a suspected antisemitic attack has sent shockwaves throughout France and thrust concerns about antisemitism to the forefront of campaigning for the country’s legislative elections.

    I think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.

    Don’t push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

      “Alleged” exists until proven in a court of law. It’s how the system is uilt to protect potentially innocent people from being slandered. The news has a responsibility to be neutral and that language is a necessary part of it.

    Genocide is bad.
    Oppression is bad.
    Racism is bad.

    Those don’t seem like difficult concepts to grasp.

      Thanks, but could we not “all lives matter” the antisemitic sexual assault of a 12 year old?

        It’s not far fetched to see antisemitism being an issue and think “they’re gonna come after the anti-zionists too”. This comes up in the article. This isn’t “all lives matter”.

          That’s exactly what it is. If you read an article about a little girl sexually assaulted because she is Jewish and your first thought is, “but there is also a genocide in Gaza!” then you have lost the plot.

            This isn’t just an article about a little girl being sexually assaulted; it’s an article about a little girl being sexually assaulted and the effect of that on French politics. People saying “but there’s a genocide in Gaza” are concerned about the latter half here.
