I was urged to learn more about the Paris massacres of 1961. It does not make anything acceptable, but provides context. Knowledge and comprehension is what will move humanity forward, not hate.
This article is written after the Paris attacks last year, not the more recent deadly events. But I in turn recommend further research for more insights.
"On October 17, 1961, at the height of the Algerian war of liberation against France, the Algerian FLN (National Liberation Front) organized a demonstration of Algerian workers and their families on the Right bank of Paris, right around the same area where Friday’s massacre took place. More than 200 people were killed by the Paris police all around the city."
