The riots in France have become antisemitic
After a Holocaust memorial was defaced, why did few non-Jewish outlets call it antisemitism?

The riots in France included "the deliberate defacement of a Holocaust memorial...threatening Jews with a new Holocaust, as has happened in the Paris suburb of Nanterre...with the slogan “On va faire une shoah“ (We are going to make a Shoah)..."

"If you rely on newspapers like the New York Times or the Guardian, or the websites of CNN or the BBC for the entirety of your information about the riots in France – even if you combine all four...to make sure you get a comprehensive picture – you will be completely oblivious about the incident..."

"It seems that the defacement of a Holocaust memorial with threats of a new Holocaust counts as a niche news item, its newsworthiness restricted to those who are directly affected by it through their Jewishness; not political news, but 'Jewish interest' news."

"And even if we...look at it as an isolated incident, the silence surrounding it is still striking, and suggests a desire to avoid 'tainting' the riots with it, in order to preserve a certain narrative."

"If the explanation for this curious state of affairs is not an ideological one, with all the tacit endorsement of (some kinds of) antisemitism and willful abdication of journalistic duties that entails, one would certainly like to know what it is instead."

Anti-semitism is the tie that binds Neonazis and Islamic fundamentalists together. Although these two are sworn enemies, they usually unite on this point. And this is a big problem in Europe, why this is not reported? Depends which side newspapers stand
