And at least one of the dead was not ethnically French; I think he may have been Muslim-born but secular (I can't seem to find any more info).
Cole may be partly right about that, though perhaps not in the way that he means. Provoking anti-Palestinian violence in front of Western cameras is certainly the point of most Palestian terrorism. Of course, by that logic, the real cause of terrorism is, not to put too fine a point on it, people like Juan Cole.
