7,000 French Jews ask USA for Asylum
Arutz 7 ^ | 3-20-2007 | IsraelNN.com

Posted on 03/20/2007 1:12:29 PM PDT by Nachum

(IsraelNN.com) More than 7,000 French Jews have signed a petition asking for political asylum in the United States because of anti-Semitism in France. The petition makes pointed reference to the murder of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured to death last year by an anti-Semitic gang, and says that "following the barbarous murder of a young Jew because he was Jewish, in the context of the rise in anti-Semitic acts committed by Islamic fundamentalists, numerous members of the community no longer feel safe in France."

The petition was sent to the U.S. Congress and asks it to enact a law according French Jews refugee status.

Some French Jewish leaders were outraged: "This petition is bizarre, stupid and out of place," said Chaim Musicant, director of CRIF, the umbrella organization of secular French Jewish groups.

No, no rules broken.

Most Freepers don't mind immigration... that is, immigration of skilled workers desiring to assimilate into the American melting pot.

What Freepers don't what are unskilled workers immigrating to America to become leeches suckling on a government teat. Unskilled workers that demand that WE assimilate into THEIR culture.

It's a dang shame that you cannot tell the difference.

The French troops sent to Afghanistan were support troops, not combat, numbering 1900. Don't have the breakdown, but included women.

French Special Forces troops, about 200, were active in combat roles during Operation Anaconda.

I believe that they were recalled last year and that there is no longer a French presence there, although there might be a reduced presence for training of Afghan troops.

Bull, it was Socialist policies that allowed and nurtured the mass migration of muslims into Europe. It was
thwe "Humanist justice" that made it criminal to speak against it.

Probably "liberal lefty cowardly" French types.

Let them go to Israel and learn how to stand up to their/our enemies.

Israel would probably give them the boot if they could just for the sake of being French.

This reads more like political theater than anything serious.

Oriana Fallaci wrote an excellent book on how the Muslims came to Europe. Daniel Pipes also writes extensively on it. He talks of the demise of Christianity, but does not lay the blame on socialism.

Here are a few links...

"Any thoughts?"

I'm a big supporter of Israel, and I have been for many years. I resent that our Government restrains them so much in the WOT, and a lot more.

That said, once a Jew "aliyahs" to Israel, they should not be voting in American elections. Allowing that is insanity, well at least unreasonable.

And *why* does France and Europe and Russia *have* such low birth rates? It's not because the women have become that less
fertile..it's because of the zeitgiest that
exists under socialism. Because Socialim
undermines the natural family, it teaches women that
to be wives is to be oppressed. That babies
instead of their natural goal, are only anchors to be turned over to the state as soon as possible...

Much of the socialist/Democrat platforms are the
same. They are anti-life, anti moral,
only the state can say what is moral, instead of the way that it should be, and that the people tell the state what their beliefs and mores are.

Stalin and Hitler destroyed the church & synagoge
tpo make themselves the ultimate arbiters, and Islam
confers godlike status on it's leaders in a hierical
structure to keep their masses in line. and attacking
infidels first byinfiltrating them with their undeserving poor.

"Combine with that a long lived populace (Jews are generally speaking long-lived), ...'

You Sir, have a flair for irony.

Is George Bush a socialist? He is advocating an amnesty that would bring in another 20 million Mexicans. During Ronald Reagan's term, he gave amnesty to at least 10 million. Was he a socialist? It is not only the liberal (socialist/communist) DemocRATs that want the illegals to run accross our borders, big business wants cheap labor to make bigger profits and destroy the unions.

Are you following the case of the two border patrol agents serving 12 year sentences in Federal prison for shooting an illegal alien? It is George Bush's justice dept. that went after these men and ruined them. Is this socialism?

I like many things about our President George W. Bush,
But i think he is horribly wrong in his approach to our border and immigration policies, aned that he is doing us great harm with his inaction, and willful ignorance if the problems.

As far as the border guards..i don't liked
what's happened, but i have reservations
about why they tried to cover up the
evidence. I don't know what i think i need to know to make a judgement about it.

Compared to what, Moslems that have multiple wives and 20 children? Even in traditional Christian homes of yesteryear, women were never forced to produce children like this. Even if Europe recaptured its Christian roots and women stopped having abortions, and stayed home and had more babies, they would never equal the birth rate of the Islamists. Christians cannot compete with the religious equivalent of Hitler unless they go to war. Europeans are faced with an ugly reality that they have a violent group in their midst that will out breed them and attack them all along the way.

Europe is done. More and more blood is running in the streets...this is only the beginning.

These 7000 are the canaries in the mine. Stop and think how serious it is for 7000 people to recognize the danger the future holds and to make this request. I understand it is too dangerous for Jews to wear a Star of David or anything else that would identify them as Jews.

The world is changing rapidly....I doubt it will wait for 2008.

Thanks,at least he was tried over there. I had kind of kept my eye on the incident for a year or so and then forgot about it. I recalled it because that same year there was another awful murder in Boston. It was a little boy named Michael Curley?(I think).

I know the two men who killed him were convicted and I think serving life. However,they found Namblia? material in one of the perps car and the parents were suing Namblia?,claiming that the material triggered the attack. The court hassling was still going on last I heard. I was hoping the parents might prevail. Think I will go Google it.

I see your problem.

You are incapable of reading anything but the second sentence of a post. Have you considered seeing a doctor for the problem?

(I don't have to worry about you reading that, as you can't. You can only read the second sentence.)

Here's the rest of the post you quoted (should I be wrong):

... that is, immigration of skilled workers desiring to assimilate into the American melting pot.

What Freepers don't want are unskilled workers immigrating to America to become leeches suckling on a government teat. Unskilled workers that demand that WE assimilate into THEIR culture.
