The Issue: Increasing violence around French protests crosses the line to full-scale rioting, arson and looting.

France is burning, and its leaders appear shocked by the flames (“France on fire,” Oct. 18).

The violence attributed to radical-left rioters should serve as a wake-up call. France for years has struggled with mass immigration, assimilation and the preservation of its nationwide id. It can’t afford to tolerate these who resort to violence and antisemitism.

A rustic that welcomes newcomers has every proper to expect respect for its legal guidelines, traditions and residents.

Consider the humble potato: Drop it into boiling oil, and it becomes a french fry. France has been sitting in boiling oil for years. Now, instead of producing fries, it is getting burned.

Your editorial is a much-needed reminder of what the riots in France are actually all about (“The Target Is France Itself,” Oct. 19).

I traveled to France many occasions in my previous profession and saw a nation not paying consideration to a rising drawback. Integration into the mainstream was ignored.

We have comparable avoidance points in the United States. Hopefully, more emphasis on the actual problem — an attack on civilization — can begin to be understood at residence, before we finish up like France.

It is time for Americans to take a good look at what is occurring in Europe, particularly in France.

If these on the left proceed to vote for excessive leftists that enable crime to rule, we will finish up with the same nonsense. In reality, it has already began.

The anonymous couple smoking and having fun with a glass of wine were actually celebrating the last moments of freedom in France before full give up (“Showing their cool under fire,” Oct. 20).

Not only have the French riots demonstrated the failure of East and West cultures to coexist, it also exhibits a lack of management in France and the abject failure of socialism.

When you let lots of unlawful immigrants swamp your nation and even pay them, in some circumstances more than working-class residents, this is what occurs.

I’m afraid it could occur here. Enough is enough!

Look at Paris; this will be America in 4 years or less. Let in radicals from terrorist nations, and this is what you get.

They hate France. They have no curiosity in assimilation. They’re all on welfare, making no contributions to France.

Will Americans wake up, or will they vote for this to occur here?

Carol Meltzer

The Post is a much-needed exception to media retailers selecting to “report” that what’s going on in the streets of Paris are scholar demonstrations regarding training.

What we are really witnessing is a Marxist try to change the ideology figuring out how France and other European nations are ruled.

Julia Lutch

Davis, Calif.

France is in the midst of chaos led by a combine of leftist anarchists, Islamists and undocumented malcontents. With no loyalty to France, they riot each day, destroying property and historic buildings.

Is it actually any totally different here? With no loyalty to America or its political system, we see makes an attempt to uproot our values, allies, religion and more. Isn’t it time we assert our rights and return to normalcy?

Decades in the past, Beirut was called the Paris of the Middle East. After this last weekend, the actual Paris is wanting like Beirut.

Maybe leftists in Europe should have nervous about their own nations more than a tiny piece of Jewish land 1000’s of miles away.

The components inflicting the riots in France resemble the Democratic Socialists’ platform for altering America.

Voters, particularly Gen Z, are misguided. This will occur to America if socialists take management of the House and Senate.
