The “skinheads” of France are a useful tool for the Left, and for the Muslims.
They conjure up memories of Nazis, and are often associated with some neo-Nazi movement. By vandalizing Muslim tombs they arouse sympathy for Muslims, and by extension for immigrants. By vandalizing Jewish tombs they arouse sympathy for Jews, not to mention memories of the war. By exhibiting racist behavior they arouse contempt from the media and fuel the anti-racism movement. But many questions remain as to their motives: do they act on their own, or are they mercenaries employed or manipulated by someone else? It is always convenient to blame them, but never convenient to analyze who really benefits from their actions.
