Nunca pensé que esto fuera noticia relevante para España cuando lo leí ayer. Sin embargo, veo que hoy está en los titulares de la prensa española. Curiosamente, cuando es un cementerio judíos –y está sucediendo en Francia con cierta frecuencia en los últimos años- el asunto no pasa el filtro de los jefes de redacción. Western Resistance nos hace un repaso:
Attacks upon Muslim graves have been increasing in recent years. Jewish graves have also been subject to attacks from racists. In 1990, more than 50 Jewish graves were desecrated over two days in May at two cemeteries in France. 34 tombs were attacked in Carentras near Avignon in the south of the country, while 20 graves in Wissembourg, close to the German border, were attacked. During the 1980s there had been at least nine attacks upon Jewish cemeteries.
In 2004 then-president Jacques Chirac condemned the desecration of Jewish graves in Lyon in the southeast of France. Shortly before that incident, on Friday August 6, 2004, Muslim graves at a military cemetery in Strasbourg, northern France, had been attacked. Before that attack, there had been a rally by neo-Nazis in the region.
At the end of March 2007, dozens of Jewish graves in a cemetery near Lille in northern France were vandalized. 51 graves were attacked, with two of these smashed. Five young males were later arrested in April. By that time, 180 Jewish graves had been desecrated in three separate incidents in three weeks. At the same time, the three men who had carried out the April 2007 attacks upon Muslim graves in Notre Dame de Lorette cemetery had confessed.

Y aquí nos cuentan que este mismo fin de semana se ha dado con caso parecido en un cementerio cristiano: Nouvelle profanation d’un cimetière
Me parece una infamia profanar cementerios, de cualquier confesión. Los muertos son sagrados, pero evidentemente para la prensa unos son mucho más sagrados que otros.
