Rather than get into the nitty-gritty politicking, to answer the OP's question, if the Eiffel Tower was destroyed (regardless of the perpetrator), my reaction would be that of shock, just like 9/11.
I've noticed that the left talks about "proportionality" when it comes to Israel fighting against Islamists. So I'm wondering, is it "proportionate" to blow up the Eifel tower because Burkas got banned?
or is proportionality just a thing expected of Jews?

DO you think it would be more like shock or anger? Since these things are starting to happen a lot more?
Personally, I think it's ugly. However, the destruction of the tower would mean the death of hundreds of people, thousands depending on which way the tower would fall. The tower has become a symbol of Paris. There are culturally more valuable targets they could go after but none are a true symbol of Paris like the tower.
What's strange is that in the movie Superman II which was released approximately 20 years ago, a group of terrorists try to blow up the Eiffel Tower. Superman was able to get rid of the bomb, but that led to a whole new set of problems for him, and earth.

Exactly. They want to hit something that is a symbol of France.
I can only sit here every day and hope they aren't successful with ANY of their plots to attack ANY country.
The Tower falling would cause many deaths. I thought it was beautiful but I know some of my friends think it is ugly. But even despite that, no one wants to see it blown up. Just horrible.
I don't shed many tears these days, however, if the tower was destroyed, I would. Some wonderful memories there.
Hmm, you'd shed tears over the loss of a big piece of metal. What about the lives lost in such an attack? A building can be rebuilt.
