Hundreds of messages of protest reached the state-run France 3 TV channel following the live broadcast of a stand-up comedian shouting "Heil Israel!" with his arm raised, clad in army fatigues, wearing a hood, a large black hat, and sidelocks mimicking those of Orthodox Jews.
Addressing Muslims, comedian Dieudonn said, "I encourage the young people who are watching us in the suburbs to do as I did: Convert! Pull yourself together! Join the axis of good, the American-Zionist axis!"
The host of the One Cannot Please Everybody talk show, Marc-Olivier Fogiel, looked flabbergasted and did not respond. Fogiel, a Jew, is usually famous for his skill in repartee. Speaking to the media after his show, he said he "regretted" he did not react in a stronger way to mark his "disapproval of this live hijacking [of the show]... Given today's atmosphere, one cannot allow fanning the flames," said Fogiel, one of the top stars of French TV.
Thursday, the management of France 3 and Fogiel issued a joint statement: "We deplore and regret what has been said by Dieudonn on our channel. In troubled and complex times, his words have particularly shocked us all. Our awareness has been increased. France 3 wishes to present you all its apologies."
Dieudonn , the stand-up comedian, is known for his controversial anti-West statements. He once described Osama bin Laden as "the most important personality in contemporary history... He has succeeded in changing the balance of power and the method of fighting. He is alone against the biggest power in the world. Inevitably that inspires respect."
The 37-year old comedian was born Dieudonn M'Bala M'Bala to an African father and a French mother. Former protests did not deter Dieudonn from repeating his act.
Dieudonn started his career by teaming up with Elie Semoun, a Jew of North African origin. The tall outspoken black and the short and shy Jew were a success until the two decided to part.
Dieudonn then tried his hand at politics in 2002 and entered the presidential race. At the peak of the 2002 wave of anti-Semitic aggressions, a local newspaper, Lyon Capitale, interviewed him on the rise of anti-Semitism among the French Muslim youth.
"Abraham created racism. A chosen people! That's the source of racism. What is happening today is the Muslim's answer to that. Jew, Muslim, to me this does not exist; there is no anti-Semitism because there is no Judaism. These are stupid notions. No one is Jewish. Or everybody is Jewish. I don't understand this story.
"To my opinion, Jews are a sect, a fraud. The most dangerous one, because it is the first. Some Muslims are going the same way, reviving the notion of holy war."
Anti-racist organizations sued Dieudonn for these statements. The case was thrown out of court. Jewish organizations protested several times against Dieudonn 's shows, to no avail.
Meanwhile, Dieudonn convened a press conference, and said he would sue France 3 and Fogiel if they did not apologize for calling him an anti-Semite. A group of members of the French Union of Jewish Students disrupted the press conference, handing out leaflets with a quote of Martin Luther King: "Anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic, and ever will be so." When Dieudonn went up to the group, the students gave him a book, Zionism Explained to our Pals, and left, saying: "There is nothing to discuss with anti-Semites."
CRIF, (Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France), stated its "dismay at the mediocrity of someone who pretends to entertain the French. Dieudonn 's posture is nauseating because he plays with the limits of what is bearable. CRIF expects the public authorities and the anti-racist organizations to react on legal grounds to condemn such statements."
"To my opinion, Jews are a sect, a fraud. The most dangerous one, because it is the first. Some Muslims are going the same way, reviving the notion of holy war."
The entire history of the world is the tale of two cities. Babel (Babylon) where man decided to get to heaven on his own through his own works, and Salem (Jerusalem) where Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
The Muslim reaction to the Jews being the chosen people is a rebellious and defiant reaction against God. Instead of putting their trust in God to be their salvation, they put their trust in their own works to earn their salvation.
Oooh, looky here!

My G-d, but I'm glad you're on our side, woman. :)
france has always had a love affair with the Nazis.
What the hell? They surrendered to everyone else.
Piss on The French.
But what can you expect from people who think the legitimacy of Zionism rests on its endorsement by the left's ultimate icon of iconoclasm, Martin Luther King?
What a sick, pathetic, desperate little man, so emblematic of his people.
