Anti-Semitism Surges Among Children of Immigrants
Immigrants? Why not use the term "Muslim?"

Its time for French Jews to make aliyah to Israel. They'll be safer there than in France and they won't be murdered just for being Jews.

In working-class Parisian suburbs like this one, heavily populated by North African Muslims, the word "Jew" is now a standard epithet. It appears in graffiti on middle school walls and neighborhood playgrounds and on the tongues of the young.

"It's blacks and Muslims on one side and Jews on the other," said Sebastian Daranal, a young black man standing in the parking lot of a government-subsidized housing project with two friends.

Eight Muslims beat the son of a rabbi here in March. Another Jew was attacked the next day.

In the wake of the torture and killing in February of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jew, attention has focused on an undeniable problem: anti-Semitism among France's second-generation Muslim youth, whose high jobless rate the government is trying to address with a law drawing widespread protests across the country.

Schools are the battleground over anti-Semitism, and teachers complain that the government has done little, despite many proposals.

"The minister of education has done nothing," said Jean-Pierre Obin, an inspector general of education in France, who wrote a report in 2004 that called Muslim anti-Semitism "ubiquitous" in the 61 schools surveyed. "He prefers not to talk about it."

Mr. Obin wrote in the report of "a stupefying and cruel reality: in France, Jewish children — and they are alone in this case — can no longer be educated in just any school."

Ianis Roder, 34, a history teacher in a middle school northeast of Paris, said he was stunned by what he witnessed after Sept. 11, 2001. The next day, someone spray-painted in a stairwell of the school the image of an airplane crashing into the World Trade Center beside the words "Death to the U.S., Death to Jews.".............

Fixed some of it....

While I'd welcome them, why should they have to leave? Why not kick the immigrants out?

...well they obviously need to raise taxes and increase government spending over there. That's the only thing that will fix the problem...

One possibility they might have overlooked... I don't think they have any pyramids in France; has anybody looked into the possibility of setting these losers to work hauling pyramid blocks?

Because the New York Times decides what news is fit to print and what news is fit to hide.

You are right.

And now we have Nazis on the rise in Florida and killing people. the nazis are so close to the Muzzies.
The funny part is that the Muzzies would kill the American Nazis in a New York minute and the nazis would kill the MuZzies cause they aren't "white."

Hey... there's an idea..let them kill each other!
I'm in such a great mood tonight.ha

There is an MP from the Bloc Quebecois who wants to bring them all to Canada.

The Jewish citizens in Europe have a choice - either lock and load and protect yourself or leave.

I don't want Americans going back to Europe again on a rescue mission.

How can all this strife take place in the enlightened socialist utopia of France? And John Kerry and the Commiecrat party want us to be more like them...

It's time for the Jews of France to take up arms against the Islamonazis and their filthy little Vichy enablers. Why the hell should they be the ones to leave?

BRITONS have been warned: Stay away from riot-torn Paris.

The Foreign Office says the French capital — which has been rocked by violent demos — is too dangerous.

Protests against a new employment law have erupted into riots, with fierce fighting in the shadow of famous tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.

Cars have been set alight, shops looted and gangs of youths and masked men swinging baseball bats and wooden planks have had running battles with riot police who have used water cannon and tear gas.The Foreign Office alert is a huge blow to France, which has always considered itself a haven of fashion chic and culture.

Pictures flashed around the world show a new Paris racked with class division. That was illustrated yesterday by photographs of an elegant woman in high heels set upon by youths in the trendy Esplanade des Invalides.

They harried the defenceless woman like a pack of wolves, oblivious to watching police and photographers. One ripped her handbag away while another rifled through her pockets.

Some hotels around the famous Left Bank of the River Seine — usually full of romantic couples strolling hand in hand — have boarded up their windows up as armoured vehicles with water cannons patrol the streets.

Paris’s mayor, Bertrand Delanoe, called the situation “explosive” and added: “The government’s obstinacy is creating an extremely dangerous situation that is sinking into further violence and further danger.”

French President Jacques Chirac, in Brussels at an EU summit meeting, called the violence “intolerable and unacceptable” and ordered authorities to punish troublemakers “with all necessary severity”.

The violence — which has spread to other cities — has led to more than 1,400 arrests and more than 450 cops being injured.

For the same reason we don't. (ruefully shaking head)

Hey, we already learned that from the French.
