I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s &quot;pure scapegoating&quot;. It&#x27;s very much a relevant part to understand the mechanics behind thing like this. The French ban on anti-Isreali demonstrations might very well have helped radicalization and recruitment of young people with non-french backgrounds. So might the last years worsening conflict in Palestine. It shouldn&#x27;t be a particularly controversial statement to say that there are things that Isreal do, like settlements, that is not good for the security of EU&#x2F;US.
