France and their Jewish countrymen - a love affair gone sour
HaAretz ^ | 8/18/09 | staff

There's Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve (in better days) and rude waiters, lovely Paris in the spring and stifling and deserted Paris in August, brave fighting comrades in 1917 and waving the white flag in World War II.

And then there is the relationship between the French and their Jewish countrymen.

France's cyclical anti- and philo-Semitism is the theme of "Being Jewish in France" (Comme un Juif en France), Yves Jeuland's densely detailed documentary film, a three-hour long overview of what one Jewish jurist describes as "a love affair gone sour."

A friend inherited some property in a Paris and the French government warned her that the neighborhood was going to ‘go Moroccan’ and they could not & would not protect a Jew in such a neighborhood. She was so disgusted with her own government that she called me and asked me to sponsor her for a H1B visa. She is now a US citizen and tells anyone wanting to visit France not to.

I never whine - life is good. I am a staunch supporter of Israel as well. I just believe we are constantly having one segment or society or the other always complaining.

Oh, they don’t need three hours. It is really quite simple. The French are terrified of their domestic Muslims and afraid of losing business and influence in Muslim nations. It is math, really: the Muslims are many and the Jews few.

““Jews” really need to stop whining that nobody likes them.”

Morons really need to stop putting quotes where they don’t belong.

“Morons really need to stop putting quotes where they don’t belong.”

Perhaps he is one of the fools who recount the debunked myth that Jews are not really Jews, but russians or whatever the stormfront myth-de-jour is.
