Bad news

Because it had been a while, because this year had been less anti-Semitic than the previous, something clearly had to be done. So now this. Why, one wonders, might a gang have tortured this French-Jewish man? Is it possible that the gang's vocal anti-Semitism had anything to do with its motives? It's certainly not something French Jews should be at all worked up about, so it's a good thing French Jews have been advised to remain calm. Since after all, Parisians get abducted and tortured all the time for no particular reason.

The time has come to look back fondly on the flaming-car riots.
