France's highschools blockage
Hi, before you read it, know that english isn't my first language, i'm french. Also know that i'm not sure if those publications can be posted here but i'm still gonna share it here since there is no rules that forbide to do that kind of publications
So.. you probably heard about highschools being blocked in France, and in my opinion, it's OKAY ! There is no chairs, tables, teachers and ceillings are fallings (TW: violence) cops are gassing teenagers, beating them up, arresting thousands of them in less than 6 months, a 14 years old got strangled, a 16 years old loosed a hand cause they threw a grenade at him, another 16 years old loosed an eye after Having been shot at with a LBD (less-lethal defense weapon), another teenager got gassed in the stairs and had a seizure and then got arrested just after So i mostly agree with those teenagers, but there is something i don't agree with, many of those blockage end up being extremely antisemitic ! (TW: antisemitism) I saw videos of those teenagers saying they want death of the jews Which have NOTHING to do with how bad education system is here ! I want to know how to show support when it comes to the education system here without having to be associated with antisemitism neither having to put myself in danger (i'm jewish so if i help them with blockages and they end up learning i'm jewish they can become very violent)

I understand that you care and feel sympathy for young people who are hurt, but I do not think you should place yourself in danger of injury or arrest for people who would turn on you if they knew you were Jewish. Based on what you’ve written, you already know that your virtue will not convince them you are human.
Politicians, their parties, and the states and organizations funding them are putting young people on the frontlines of these protests, and they profit when they become violent. Like Hamas and their fellow travelers, they put people in harm’s way, incite or simply instruct them to do violence, and then film the predictable response. I don’t think you should play their game, even if you are only on the side of the reasonable case.
There are effective, civilized ways to advocate for the education changes you seek—methods that don’t risk your safety or your self-respect.

The riots are unacceptable and make France's socialist paradise look like a failure. High taxes and over regulation yet France can not take care of its schools properly? News reports showed many newer school buildings being destroyed as well so the riots are not legitimate. The rioters mostly are from Arab and African countries that have broken into businesses and stolen property while celebrating that the police can not do anything to them.
So you are concerned about the riots being anti semitic, but you should not because the rioters are idiots. Instead vote for elected officials that will remove migrants that do not want to accept French culture and not give in to the demands of migrant groups that are destroying France. It is no mistake that France and Spain have become centers of anti Semitic violence because of decades of unrestricted Arab migration.
