Ro Khanna Thinks Torching Jewish Shops Is an 'Inspiring' Youth Movement
Anyone who has studied the night of Nov. 9, 1938, will recognize the pattern in what has unfolded across France in recent days. During Kristallnacht, the mobs that moved through German and Austrian cities knew exactly which shop windows to smash and which synagogues to set alight, because someone had gone to the trouble of telling them where the Jews could be found. That same cold preparation has now resurfaced in the south of France, and we should have the honesty to call it by its name.
TL;DR
- Recent unrest in France shows patterns similar to Kristallnacht.
- Mobs specifically targeted Jewish-owned businesses in Marseille.
- Shops owned by Muslims on the same streets were left untouched.
- A synagogue in Paris has been vandalized, and churches have been targeted.
- The unrest has spread to Milan and other parts of Italy.
- The author believes political leaders are not correctly identifying the nature of the events.
