"Violent hate crimes quadrupled in France in 2002 to the highest l"evel in a decade, with more than half the assaults aimed at Jews, a national study has found.

"Assailants carried out 313 acts of racially and religiously motivated violence last year, compared with 71 in 2001, according to the study by the independent National Consulting Committee on Human Rights.

"In accepting the report Thursday, Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said he was worried the war in Iraq would increase religious tensions in France.

"In the report, the committee said 193 of 313 attacks were against Jews in a "real explosion" of anti-Semitic violence. Last year, the group reported 32 acts of anti-Jewish violence."

"This latest [translated column] is by Ariane Chemin, documenting some of the increasingly nasty anti-semitic incidents which have been occurring during recent French anti-war marches. Chemin tries to find the reasons for the seeming reluctance of some of the political establishment, notably on the left, to condemn these events with any great vigour. She suggests it is because the anti-war movement has aroused the enthusiasm of much of France’s Muslim population, particularly the young people of the banlieues (literally the “suburbs”, but with overtones of “inner city, no go areas”) with North African (Algerian and Moroccan) backgrounds, who have traditionally been disaffected with mainstream politics and mainstream society. Chirac’s anti-war stance has been popular amongst all sections of French society, but especially the Arabs, and some politicians see this as a chance to bridge the gap between discontented minorities and the French republic ('republican integration' as they call it). In this way they can erase the 'shame of April 21', when Chirac ran against the extreme nationalist, anti-immigrant Jean-Marie Le Pen (*). The downside of this is that the anti-war protests also owe their popularity in the banlieues to the fact they are seen as anti-Israeli too, which the extremists among them interpret as an excuse for outright anti-semitism. But some on the French left (probably with the best of intentions – ***the French left has made a career out of paving the road to hell) are reluctant to condemn this because they don’t want to ruin this opportunity to win over the Arabs. Allowing anti-semitism to become socially acceptable again is, in their eyes, a price worth paying for the increased “republican integration” of the Muslim community. You fight racism in one area by increasing it in another. Great logic...***"
