We were in Paris this past summer and spent some time in the largest Jewish neighborhood. The sight of heavily armed patrols by the army and Foreign Legion were very distressing. The author of this piece is right on the money. That is no way to live.
There is a Jewish school not far from where I live in California. For many years, they have had huge, burly guards dressed all in black stationed at the entrance to and exit from the parking lot. Most people hereabouts think they are well-armed ex-IDF.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

What an excellent story and analogy.
We are all lobsters, consentually boiling away in a pot of our own making.
There was a school shooter a few years ago who was seen in security videos driving past schools with armed guards until he found one with no guards. That is the one he chose to shoot up.
The analogy is true, though, if they used the Boiling Frog.
With Iran eagerly developing nukes and promising to use them in yet another “Final Solution” to the “Jewish Problem”, I’m not sure that recommending that they all cluster in one very convenient and surrounded and ever-targeted area is the best idea... just sayin’...
I’ve dropped them into a pot of boiling water and in most cases they just move down toward the bottom. The only time I’ve ever gotten a reaction from a lobster is when I tried to kill one “humanely” by stabbing it behind the head. It threw all its legs out suddenly and dramatically and started thrashing violently about. “To hell with humane,” I said, whereupon I picked it up and tossed it into the pot. It went quietly.
So where are the laws against Jewophobia???
The lobster story is cute but has no basis in fact....every lobster I have ever witnessed cook was submerged in boiling water!!!
I had always heard that the French Foreign Legion was not ever to be deployed inside France proper.
Things have gotten that bad, apparently. Once upon a time the Foreign Legion battled Muslims in North Africa & the Maghreb.
Now the Muslims have come home to roost in the French homeland. The Foreign Legion was renowned for going take-no-prisoners when necessary. They need to again.
Civilization versus barbarism, it’s that simple.
We're living in the last days. It is written....
God bless Israel and his chosen people. May God have mercy on America, though we, as a nation, certainly don't deserve it.
Good analogy, bad cooking lesson. Plunge the lobsters headfirst into rapidly boiling water and they NEVER climb out; they’re dead and cooking in a second or two.
So another thing the Jews (or anyone in danger of oppression) have to fear is that pot coming to a boil nearby.
A friend who lives in Paris told me that it is both regular army and Foreign Legion. I couldn't tell which they were myself but I saw a patrol of 8 soldiers and they looked like they were ready for war. Very formidable, but the fact that such a thing is even necessary in a major world capital speaks volumes.
If French Jews flee en masse to Israel, then France will suffer a major brain drain which will weaken the popular will to resist Islam even further.
Charles DeGaulle was no friend to Israel after the 1967 six day war, and drawing France’s Jews toward making Aliyah to Israel would be the best revenge that is served cold.
The great irony of all this is that the emotional reasons behind multiculturalism in Europe was to prove they were not the racists they once were, so they opened the gates to the closest 3rd world, which is the Muslim world.
So in order to NOT be bigoted & antisemitic, they let in bigots and antisemites of the harshest sort, who have now balkanized and changed their societies to tolerate the new bigots—meanwhile on the far (far) right, feeding the racial stereotypes they’ve been seeking to avoid.
(Of course the practical reason for mass immigration/multiculturalism was a growing economy needs a growing population—and selfish Europeans aren’t having enough kids...)
The French took over 200,000 casualties in the Fall of France in 1940, including over 85,000 dead
Yes, before they capitulated and the government allied with Germany. I’ll leave out the Brit’s unhappiness at the surrender. They put up, briefly, strong opposition to Operation Torch in Oman and Morocco. Americans died. And at sea, though even less effectively. I’ll draw a distinction between the French government and the people, many of which fought the occupation at great risk of life. Many losing their lives. But the French government did ally with Germany, did save the Germans the chore of rounding up Jews. And the population, not the government, did exact retribution against collaborators at wars end. But that’s not the government.
Don't know the specific incident you're refering to, but assuming terrorists and mass murderers are stupid is a mistake. Often fatal.
