As the investigation has continued into the shooting attack in Paris, it appears the crime was motivated by anti-Muslim hate. President Macron had this to say on the matter: "What happened today is, I am telling you, ​a turning point, because it is the first time we have had ‌a terrorist act that was planned to kill our compatriots, our children, based on the color of their skin or ​their religion." I guess the man who shot children at a Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse in 2012 doesn't count. He must have chosen a Jewish school by accident. And I suppose the man who shot and took hostages at a kosher grocery store in Paris in 2015 also didn't count. Please do not mistake what I am saying here. I am not saying this isn't a horrible terrorist attack targeting people on the basis of religion. I am not saying that this terrorist attack is in any way less awful than the ones targeting Jews that came before it. But I am asking why the President of France is erasing the history of Jews being targeted by terrorists in his country. The tragedy is already horrific; why make things up?
