Sorry. Any Jew stupid enough to try to live in France gets no sympathy from me. Didn't the Vichy regime teach you smug idiots anything?

All my life they told me how intelligent Jews are. Hmm.

[dfwgator]

Time for a sequel?

[papertyger]

Your journey to the dark side is nearly complete.

[Never A Dull Moment]

Judging by your comment, no Jewish person in trouble would find you sympathetic. Smug idiots?

There are Jews living in many nations around the world. They have been there for many generations, are citizens, and loyal to those nations. France is no exception. France does have a very bad reputation for anti-semitism, but not all French are anti-semitic.

There were a number of French people who hid Jews and helped them escape during the Holocaust. There were French nuns who hid hundreds of Jewish children, at the risk of their own lives, did not attempt to convert them, and saved them from the gas chambers.

One of my father’s aunts and her husband was among those children. She survived by the love and compassionate goodness of those French nuns. And with the help of other non- Jewish, French citizens, she rebuilt her life, married, had a family, and stayed in France.

Yes, things there for Jews are very, very bad- very dangerous, actually. And I do agree, Jews should no longer live there. And, most are now in the process of leaving, as are Jews from other areas of Europe, and South America.

But judging by your own hateful attitude, I don’t think Jews are going to be safe in the USA much longer, either.

Idiot bigot.

Most likely they came back after WW II and figured people were willing to be civilized now. But that was before the civilized people felt so guilty for their imperialist rule of Algeria that they extended an open invitation for them to come and be citizens of le Repulique de France. Good intentions pave the road to what, class? Now the civilized people are all too cowardly to help the same people they were too cowardly to help last time. I recently was cat-sitter for a French Jewish expatriate who went back to see his mother, who still lives in Paris. He tried to persuade her to leave, but she’s in dotage and suffers from the delusion that this is the France of...her childhood? adolescence? I dunno what.

[Jewbacca]

Your comment is not constructive.

[rmlew]

You do know that Sarkozy is 1/4 Jewish. The French are not particularly antisemitic. These incidents are happening because of influx of Muslims. The French elite, Gaullists and 68ers are all traitors.

IOW I have no compassion for them at this point, just as I have no compassion for Jews here in the US when the left finially turns on them too in the end. I will laugh my ask off."

"Among those churches which are not members of the WCC, the most notable is the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Since 1965 a Joint Working Group (JWG), co-sponsored by the WCC and the RCC, has met regularly to discuss issues of common interest and promote cooperation. The group meets annually. One of the church and ecumenical relations staff members serves as co-secretary for the JWG and helps to coordinate contact between the Council and the dicasteries of the Vatican through the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. [And] . . . Though the Roman Catholic Church is not a member of the WCC, it is a full member of the Faith & Order Commission. The RCC also serves the team on Mission & Evangelism in a consultative capacity."

Commencement Address at Boston College (Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Boston, Massachusetts, May 22, 2006. US Department of State)

Excerpts:

As a student of a Catholic high school, the Sisters of Loretta taught me, I am pleased to be at an institution of higher education with such strong and celebrated Catholic and Jesuit traditions . . . You see, I got my Master's Degree at Notre Dame. (Boos.) I acquired a passion for the fighting Irish . . . and my family has been college educated and Presbyterian ever since. (Laughter and applause.) . . . I wandered into a course on international politics taught by a Czech refugee who specialized in Soviet studies, a man who had a daughter by the name of Madeleine Albright. With that one class, I was hooked. I discovered that my passion was Russia and all things Russian.

The Vichy regime was the creation of Laval and Petain. Petain was removed, condemned and exiled ( he was 84 at the time ) and Laval was executed. The collaboration with the Germans was horrible. Look at how complacent the American Regime is today toward some rogue regimes and islamist countries..... what will history say about that ?

They don’t give up easily.
