EU "Covered Up" Attacks on Jews by Muslims
(Telegraph-UK) - A study released by the EU's racism and xenophobia monitoring center astounded experts by concluding that the wave of anti-Jewish persecution over the last two years stemmed from neo-Nazi or other racist groups. "The largest group of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic activities appears to be young, disaffected white Europeans," said a summary, contradicting the findings in the body of the report which said that most of the 193 violent attacks in France in 2002 - up from 32 in 2001 - were "ascribed to youth from neighborhoods sensitive to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, principally of North African descent." "The percentage attributable to the extreme Right was only 9% in 2002," the report said.
