(IsraelNationalNews.com) Agence France Presse reported that thousands of protesters participated yesterday in a demonstration in Paris against Israel. According to the French news agency, it was the largest such demonstration in the past few years. Many protestors raised Palestinian flags, called Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Zionists “murderers.” The demonstration was organized and sponsored by the France-Palestine Solidarity Organization, the Human Rights League, the Anti-Racism Movement, the Communist and Green parties, organizations of the extreme left and workers unions.
The protest was preceded by a confrontation between the anti-Israel demonstrators and approximately 30 youths carrying the Israeli flag. There were several injuries in the ensuing brawl, but the demonstration itself continued without further incident.
You defending Hitler now? Figures.
And I would not put much stock in the 'thousands'. AFP is pro-Arab.
Conservatives? Like Bush? Rice? Bill Bennett? No buddy you belong in the Deformed Party with Buchanan.
A marvelous (unintended)description therein to be found of the irrelevancy of the France.
Not to mention the feminists and the homosexuals. That should make very entertaining viewing on TV ... watching the feminists take a bullet to the back of the head at the Paris St. Germand soccer field, while all of the homosexuals are hanging from the bleachers.
Almost inevitably, that most Gascon of all animals, the rooster, was chosen long ago as the national symbol of France. (The choice is fortuitous, of course, because of a Latin pun, Gallus, meaning both the courtyard animal and the inhabitant of Gaul. The English pun could probably be considered even more apt). The brilliantly plumed cock is the first to announce the dawn of a new day to everybody, dominates his immediate world, seduces and fecundates all the unresisting hens, destroys his rivals, and crows triumphantly from the top of the dungheap.-- Luigi Barzini, The Europeans.
They took some sort of perverse pleasure in it. However, I cannot imagine any Jews supporting those who call Zionists murderers or supporting that sort of speech in France. There are "yevseksia" types in France, but they are miniscule in mumber.
As for conservatives who dislike Israel, I suspect that those who fit that description never liked Israel, and aren't too fond of Jews period.
You are now an expert on Jews and what they they think?
These folks protesting are your people.
Leftwing cranks, Arabs, and anti-semites.
George Will: With likes of Rumsfeld making defense menu, nation should be spared from ‘French toast’
'RECOILING FROM THE carnage of the static warfare of 1914-18, a few French officers, including a young major named de Gaulle, argued that tanks were going to be crucial in the mobile warfare for which Germany was preparing. However, French military leaders were averse to change. Patrician cavalry officers said, “Oil is dirty, dung is not,” and one general said tanks would require mechanics, many of whom would be Communists. The price of such obduracy was paid in 1940, when the Wehrmacht required just six weeks to roll from the Rhine to the Champs Elysees.'
I defended you on another thread. I certainly won't be doing it again.
