I entirely agree.
and the fact that theyre targeting jews instead of the french makes it easier for them to rationalize such disgusting behavior.
Hum, there are several problems with this statement. First, a lot of Jews in France identify themselves as French first, thank God. Also, the Muslims do abundantly target the French (by which I assume you mean "non-Jewish French"). The prisons in France are choke-full of Muslims, and many a Frenchman has been senselessly mugged or harassed by Muslims for the crime of being a Roumi.
Many well-to-do leftists don't have to leave their rich, protected enclaves, which shields them from this kind of risks. So yes, in that sense you're right: they don't have to face the consequences of their behavior.
Well, jewish victims of muslim violence are easier to “explain” than french. French victims are the result of colonialism like Algeria (which is a 50 year old argument) and economic problems, whereas Isreael is always readily available for the liberal elites as the cause of anti-semitic violence by muslims.
