Indicted on counts of aggravated rape, sexual assault in a meeting, attempted extortion, violence committed in a meeting on a minor under 15 years old and on grounds of religion, invasion of privacy , recording or transmission of the image of a person of a sexual nature, repeated death threats, and insult on grounds of religion. This is a lot (too much) for two 13-year-old minors – the third, 12-year-old, having been placed under the status of assisted witness regarding the acts of rape and indicted for everything else. Just writing the legal terms takes our breath away, as they conjure up such unbearable images.
Exactly, the images. The kids who raped and tortured – because lighting a lighter and holding it to the cheek of a twelve-year-old girl and threatening to burn her, before raping her, threatening to kill her, all for a long hour , it amounts to torture – filmed everything, without shame, with pride. They even sent the images to their friends straight away. Like proof and a trophy. Like the images of Daesh recruiters, which, against the backdrop of heady music, Hollywood montage, chaotic burning, majestic beheadings, barbarity established as a rule of art, and promises of criminal sex, rape of unbelievers, rape of punishments, attracted young people brought up in the civilized comfort of the West to the new caliphate. Like the images of the pogroms committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7, filmed by the terrorists, these bodies of women brutalized and raped, these women exhibited like trophies, these women dehumanized because they are Jewish, who therefore only deserve this public unveiling and the consequent outrages – absolute sins for the “true” believers covered, hidden from view, preserved.
These three teenagers, aged 12 and 13, committed a crime, which was born in their environment, in the words they heard, in these words which made rape, torture and death threats “normal”. a 12 year old girl because she is Jewish. And they acted by mimicry. I am certain that they saw the images of the rapes and torture, of the massacres of the pogroms of October 7 and that they did not have adults around them to firmly denounce them, to designate these acts as ” wrong”. On the contrary, they heard resistance instead of terrorism, liberation instead of pogrom, justice instead of massacre. Because adolescents are now on a drip of images that they are incapable of prioritizing, because the brutalization of language, of bodies in public space offers them a model to imitate, without any authority designating for them the good and the evil. Because here we are at the heart of decivilization. The civilizational veneer is cracking, savagery is taking hold, barbarity is justified because it is necessary to avenge – the poor for the rich, the Palestinians for the Jews, the women for the men, the LGBT for the straight, Islam for the West. The permanent conflict.
Insoumise France and in its wake an entirely submissive left are largely responsible for the normalization of brutality, of violence established as a method, of chaos as political arguments. The daily anti-Semitic innuendoes, which instantly transform into anti-Semitic acts in the street, in schools, in kindergartens, in high schools, in universities, in elite schools, the continued dehumanization of Jews since October 7 , participate in this filthy rape. But murderous anti-Semitism did not wait for the pogroms in Israel to exist on French soil. Ilan Halimi, Jonathan Sandler, Arieh Sandler, Gabriel Sandler, Myriam Monsonego, Mirelle Knoll, Sarah Halimi, Yohan Cohen, Yoav Hattab, Philippe Braham, François-Michel Saada. All died because they were Jews.
Mortal victim competition
We die in France for being Jewish. And because France, all of France, did not live up to the seriousness and horror of these anti-Semitic crimes, these anti-Semitic crimes were able to recur. Because the march against anti-Semitism did not bring together all French people, first and foremost the president, because, out of fear, out of deadly victim competition, the more or less representative bodies of the Muslims of France refused to march with the Republic, anti-Semitism continued to take an almost institutional place, a place justified by “the massacres taking place in Gaza” which allows, in a forum of shame, a lawyer and a historian to explain to us, without trembling, without feeling their humanism wavering, that there is good anti-Semitism and bad anti-Semitism.
The day after the abject rape of a 12-year-old girl because she was Jewish. They write, convinced of being the archangels of Good, “that there is no equivalence between the contextual, populist, electoralist anti-Semitism, used by certain members of La France insoumise, and the founding, historical anti-Semitism and ontological of the National Rally”. So one anti-Semitism is excusable and the other is not. And they spread pages and pages, words follow one another in a whirlwind of denial, discomfort, lies, to explain to us that being on the left is enough to explain all anti-Semitic excesses and that it is ultimately not so serious to sacrifice a 12-year-old girl, raped, tortured, bruised, on the altar of the victory of the poorly united left.
There is something rotten in the kingdom of France. This something rotten which prevents the members of La France insoumise from saying, from writing: “anti-Semitic crime”, preferring “anti-Semitic racist crime”, following guru Mélenchon, as if it scratched their mouths to spell ” anti-Semitic.” There is something rotten in the kingdom of France which sees a group of politicians meeting in a room and debating for eight hours how to formulate the terrorist attacks of a terrorist group and ending up laying eggs – and proudly who more is: “terrorist massacres committed by a theocratic group”. Nausea. This something rotten in the kingdom of France is nausea. Nausea in the face of the convolutions of infamous politicians capable of the worst, not even willing to remain silent for a few hours, a few days in the face of the martyrdom of a 12-year-old girl, raped, tortured, because she was Jewish. Nausea in the face of demonstrations which mainly bring together only Jewish French people, nausea in the face of what has become the norm in French society: to sympathize, to suffer only for one’s own. Nausea in the face of a power represented by a president incapable of appeasing, of uniting, of uniting all the components of the Nation, preferring his personal adventure to the future of a bruised nation.
