Suspicions of Paris Police Methods
by A. Cohen
The Paris police again found that an apparent antisemitic
crime was in fact not committed for antisemitic motives. It
was simply an act of revenge because the vagabond who did it
was about to get fired. "He is precisely the type of person
who would perpetrate an antisemitic arson attack," said the
police.
As in most police investigations of crimes against Jews, the
claims of an antisemitic attack were refuted and then turned
against the Jews themselves. All of the condemnations of the
terrible crime, the appearances by politicians at the site
and this time even a visit by the Israeli Foreign Minister,
are made into a mockery only a few days later.
The Jews feel bewildered by the bizarre police investigations
surrounding attacks against Jews, not knowing whether or not
to believe the police due to the methodical way in which they
seem strip every attack of antisemitic motives, regardless of
the circumstances.
According to French radio from the outset (as usual) the
investigators doubted allegations that the fire was set by
antisemitic Muslims and initiated by a Muslim organization.
They hypothesized that the arson attack was an inside job,
saying that it appeared that the suspect had the keys to the
back door. When informed that police were searching for him,
the Jewish suspect went to the station of his own volition
but refused to admit to the crime. The investigators claim he
was carrying antisemitic writings and there is evidence he
bought two liters of gasoline shortly before the fire took
place.
