Something to ponder:

The last defenders of the Führerbunker were the French SS volunteers of the 33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne (1st French) who remained at the bunker until the early morning of May 2 to prevent the Russians from capturing the bunker on May Day. (ref: Jean Mabire Mourir à Berlin Fayard, 1975).

Wow, you’d come almost to my shoulders. (Almost 7 ft.)

In France, 'libertarian' likely means anarchist. Probably, socialist-anarchist.

I confirm. This guy Siné and this rag are deeply Marxist. They are also very successful and the staff is paid handsomely compared to your average journalist. So it's an incarnation of the caviar Left, with a hint of anarchistic tendancies to conceal their profound hypocrisy.

They are definitely not among the French supporters of Libertarianism in the US sense. They either ignore or hate Rand, von Mises, Hayek.

Political labels barely make any sense. They vary by time and place. I'd like to see a reinvention of the US libertarian movement under some unique label indicating nothing but a moving towards increased freedom.

Comparison of the Danish cartoons to this is specious. The Danish cartoons were solicited by the magazine which published them. Threats of violence, boycotts and demands for repression ensued from the OUTSIDE.

Here the Editor is entitled to decide that this Sine person should not represent the paper. It is an employment decision, not a free speech issue.

"France has worked itself into a fit of high intellectual dudgeon."

Is that even possible? I would have thought that the French were too busy folding to the Islamo-thugs to get worked up over anything as pedestrian and endemic as Jew hatred. The only thing that the average Frenchy is more fond of than thumping the JOOOOOZZZ is their national past time of verbally kicking around those stupid Americans.

Honestly, between a Muslim in a chador and a shaved Jewess, my choice is made!
What a sick writer. Not much has changed since Herzog heard the horrifying shout of "death to the Jews" as Dreyfuss was led along.

Had this little morsel of excrement written with a similar anti-Muslim bias, he’ lost his head. The Jews will do nothing.

Just a small correction:

Sarko’s paternal grandparents were Hungarian Roman Catholics. His maternal grandfather was Jewish. The grandfather converted to RC when he married the grandmother, who was French, a RC. and a Bouvier. Don’t know if there is any connection to Jackie O.

Siné was fired from Charlie Hebdo over this.

Again, I speak French.

If an American politician or pundit ever used the word 'Jewess', they would be gone instantly, as they should be. Is the French equivalent more widely used, or restricted, pretty much, to anti-Semites, as in today's English.

Unlike English, French has masculine and feminine nouns, the masculine form of Jew is Juif, when referring to a Jew of the female gender, the word is Juive.

"Jewess" was commonly used to denote a female Jewish person throughout the 19 and early part of the 20th century, although it is now archaic. I do not consider use of this word sinister, just quaint.
