"Only France would consider a terrorist attack as the victim's fault."

Not true...we got lots of them right here in the U.S.A...

France Says It Must Not Be Arab-Jewish Battleground

So the Jews do NOTHING violent, yet they receive half the blame. Par for the Vichy pigs. At least they admitted the Arabs were behind the attacks! We should be thankful for small miracles...

Good point, but I don't know of any attacks by Jews on Arabs or Neo-Nazis. How does this become an Arab-Jewish or Neo-Nazi-Jewish battleground.

the idea that all Jews are Liberals is exposed as a falsehood.

Exposed how? No one ever, that I know of, would claim Jews or anyone else are all one thing. One can draw solid conclusions from history and voting patterns where any group lies on the political spectrum however. Not many Mormons around who supported the Soviet Union. Not many blacks around who voted for George W. Bush.

There have been arson attacks on at least a dozen synagogues since 9/11. The situation is so bad in the Muslim-occupied 20th quarter of Paris the police don't bother to enter. It is Algiers all over again, and this time the Jews are the pied-noire.

The same Muslims who were whyning that we would target "innocent" Muslims for 9/11 are now targeting Jews because of what is going on in Israel. I'm sure the hypocrisy of it all is lost on them.

The French daily Le Figaro voiced concern about rising tension between France's Jewish community -- Europe's largest -- and its four to five million Muslims, suggesting the country could become "an annex of the battleground in the Middle East."

Wow, how anti-Israel is the French media? Attacks on Synagogues and Jewish couples is termed as tension between the Jewish and Muslim communities? Call it what it is,- terrorism.

I heard the French were trying to surrender but they were not able to get either side on the phone.

In a sense the attack on the WTC has everything to do with the US allowing the immigration of two conflicting parties into the US.

Which two conflicting groups did we allow in? Jews were here while we were still a part of England.

If France doesn't want to be a battleground, it should deport its Muslim juvenile delinquents and terrorists post haste.

A story from my college days in France, in the late 1970s/early 80s. Professors and students alike seemed to glorify the Native American Indian and the Black American and love to put the white Americans down for how they treated the minority groups. I got into the middle on one of these discussions, heard my culture get trashed for racism yet again, and asked, innocently, "Well, what about you French and the Arabs?" One educated frenchwoman turned to me and said, "Well, that's different. They are ARABS!"

If this conflict were to spread into France, want to place bets on how fast the French will be begging us to come over there and save their sorry butts?

Of course we'll help out.

Natcherly, we only send 'em volunteers. You know, liberal types who like the U.S. just as much as the French like us. They'll fit right in.

Remember, no killing. Our guys/gals are just there to give peace a chance. They'll be the human shields. You know, keep the terrible Jews from attacking the peace loving Muslims.

One condition, though. They don't get to come back.

I can support that idea.

You cannot allow your country to be overrun with immigrants from the third world and expect that they won't bring their baggage with them

I read in the NYT several years ago about an African woman who was a Muslim and one of four wives of an immigrant man...all 4 of his wives were on welfare...the stupid French are so PC that they are literally throwing away their own culture with both hands...I sure hope that el Qaeda doesn't blow up Notre Dame or the Eifel Tower...poor Europe...they don't know what to do to save themselves...maybe they need some cowboys presidents to drive the bad guys out of town.

Then FRANCE WILL BECOME A MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN BATTLE GROUND, my friends!

You're right! Christians would be the next target. Unlike Britain's Colonial legacy, France has mostly Islamic immigrants. They're scared with the Moslems who make up some 10% of it's population, which shows in its policies and politics.
