As France reels from alleged rape of a Jewish girl, antisemitism comes to fore in election campaign
The alleged rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a suspected antisemitic attack has sent shockwaves throughout France and thrust concerns about antisemitism to the forefront of campaigning for the country’s legislative elections.
Genocide is bad.
Oppression is bad.
Racism is bad.Those don't seem like difficult concepts to grasp.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The anti-immigration National Rally party, which has tried to shed historical links to antisemitism, is leading in preelection polling and has its first real chance of forming a government, if it comes out on top in the two-round elections that end July 7.
Concerns came to the fore after two adolescent boys in a Paris suburb were given preliminary charges this week of raping a 12-year-old girl and religion-motivated violence, according to prosecutors.
The prosecutor’s office did not specify the girl’s religion or release her identity, according to policies for the protection of victims, as is standard practice for hate crimes in France.
France has the largest Jewish population in Europe, but as a result of its own World War II collaboration with the Nazis, antisemitic acts today open old scars.
His predecessor as party president and the National Rally’s 2022 presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, accused the “extreme left” of “stigmatization of Jews” and of “instrumentalizing” the Israel-Hamas conflict.
‘’Today it’s the camp of the left, of progressives that is gathered with all people who are worried by antisemitism and all kinds of racism in France, in a particular political moment with a far right that could possibly come to power.’'

I think that "alleged" can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.
Don't push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

"Alleged" exists until proven in a court of law. It's how the system is uilt to protect potentially innocent people from being slandered. The news has a responsibility to be neutral and that language is a necessary part of it.
