The Facts
Two teenagers have been detained and charged with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in a Paris suburb. The police suspect the incident was motivated by antisemitism.
The victim told the officers she was beaten and raped multiple times by three boys "uttering death threats" and antisemitic slurs last week.
The Spin
Right narrative
Violence like this incident reflects the rising influence of the far left, which is exploiting the Israel-Hamas conflict for their political gains and has become far too permissive of antisemitic language and antisemites in France.
Left narrative
This horrific rape of a minor girl calls for discussions in schools. The incident has already caused enough pain and suffering to the girl. Her turmoil shouldn't be turned into a media spectacle or exploited to settle political scores.
