France Riots: They're Not "Peaceful Protests"

Stop pretending the French riots are anything but an attack on civilization

New York Post Editorial Board,  10/18/26:

"France is seeing its worst riots in decades — violence clearly aimed not simply at the ruling party, but at France itself — and the left-liberal establishment is still trying to blame a few bad apples.

"That’s true not just of President Emmanuel Macron, but of global media that claim it’s mainly about student grievances over budget cuts — at least one BBC article actually used the phrase “mostly peaceful protests.”

"This is nonsense: The street mobs haven’t been just (or even mostly) kids for weeks now, and the vandalism began in the first days; it was last month that “protesters” set a teacher on fire.

"Foreign flags (Morocco, Algeria, “Palestine”) came out at the start; the crowds are mostly blacks and Arabs — overwhelmingly from Muslim immigrant communities, in other words.

"And the political statements are obvious: Burning down historic town halls; smashing a statue of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.

"Synagogues ransacked and other targeting of Jews. 

"Liberty isn’t leading these people, but a hatred for Western civilization itself.

"Leaders of that civilization who still insist on denial will either find themselves as former leaders, or 'leading' a former civilization."
