According to the Jewish Agency, Anti-American demonstrators attacked and wounded two young boys Saturday. The boys were participating in an educational activity of the Hashomer Hatsa'ir youth movement, taking place nearby.

The Jewish Agency called on the French government "to assume its responsibility for the security of its Jewish citizens, and to prevent violence against Jews or anti-Semitic acts under the guise of pacifist protest".

S.O.B.....I have to go to bed because it's late, but as an historian and because FR is a gigantic information archive, I have to repeat on this thread for the record :

I've been saying for weeks that the actions and words of the current French regime are VERY similar to the actions and words of the 11th century regine, which has the honor of being the FIRST regime to force Jews to wear the infamous yellow badge, and then ask the populace nicel not to HARM those dirty Jooooz wearing that yellow badge....and then finally expelled the few Jooooooz who survived the ensuing carnage.

Once again paople: history is repeating itself.

UPDATE:

Two Jewish youths were hospitalized Saturday afternoon after being stabbed in Paris by individuals who had taken part in an anti-war demonstration. The separate incidents took place near the Hashomer Hatzair youth group building in the city, in close proximity to Beaumarchais Boulevar and Bastille Square.

One young man was stabbed and lightly wounded after a group of men noticed his yarmulke. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. The attackers are believed to have been immigrants from North Africa. After stabbing the young man, they tried to break in to the Hashomer Hatzair building, but members of the youth group managed to block the entrance.

Fifteen minutes later, a 24-year-old youth group advisor exited the building to address a television crew that had arrived to interview him. After exiting the building, he was seriously wounded when passers-by attacked him with metal rods and chains.

Jewish Agency Chairman Sallai Meridor called on the French government to fulfil its responsibility to provide security for its Jewish citizens and prevent the anti-war demonstrations from becoming anti-Semitic events.

At this rate, there's going to be more casualties from these so-called anti-war protests than from the actual war.

If that happens, I would hope that the vast majority of the bodies are on the communist side.

Chirac should resign in disgrace for this one event alone. I seriously hate that man. France is despicable, they deserve 100 years of third-world status.

Reading things like this really make me wonder how so many of the jewish people here in America can vote democrat!!!

"Out" groups gravitate toward the left, because the left stands for change. Jews still think of themselves as an "out" group, even in America, where they have long been part of the mainstream, so they tend to be way more liberal than their interests would currently seem to dictate.

That's my theory, anyway.

Another factor could be that liberal Democrats mostly recognized Hitler as a danger well before conservative Republicans did.

You think this is a DISGRACE to Jacques IRAQUE? He rejoices in this sort of thing.

COWARDLY SCUM! How can they live with themselves?

John 16

1"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.

This scripture popped into my head when I read your post. It certainly fits the Muslim mentality.

No, I meant it would be considered a disgrace by any human being.

I guess we see what saving france's butt did to the "gene pool" of nations. A country that, due to its non-fight against Hitler and its complete and total lack of gratitude to the victors of World War II, coupled with its bigotry, antisemitism, and general deacadence, deserved to be removed from the planet.

We should have left it subsumed under Germany after the war. Then we would have had a better gauge of when a moral depravity identical to that of Hitler resurfaced.

A frenchman makes the ultimate disguise for anti-semitic thuggery; people think of the french as so submissive that they would be the last you expect to be terrorists. They are passive terrorists, terrorists who aid and abet the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Osama, but who themselves are so lazy and scared by nature that they are rarely directly part of the action.

Chirac is on the same level as Hitler, spiritually: anybody who would help Iraq build Nukes not once but twice is a cold-blooded mass murderer, whether their actions are successful or not.

Perhaps the US should provide asylum for refugee French Jews.

"Thankfully, Great Britain and Scandinavia seem to have escaped this curse."

Unfortunately not. In Britain especially, it's rampant.

He finally was removed from the "active roster".

Presumably because he was saying patent nonsense.

What are you talking about? Apart from in the Islamic community, I don't know of any country that cares less if someone is Jewish or not than Britain. "Blame the Jews" conspiracies here are rightly considered insane.

"What are you talking about? Apart from in the Islamic community, I don't know of any country that cares less if someone is Jewish or not than Britain. "Blame the Jews" conspiracies here are rightly considered insane."

And I too live in Britain and do sometimes wonder when I read your posts what country you are in fact living in.

Surely, overt anti-Semitic theories have little place in British life but anti-Semitism takes on a very different form in Britain. But Anti-Semitism is a more polite but no less virulent activity than elsewhere in Europe. Jews are tolerated but only as a girlfriend of mine once put it as a "necessary evil".

Without going on at length just look at the sheer venom of the anti-Zionism of many of Britain's newspapers and also, most particularly, the BBC. Check out their talk of Jewish plots and whether Israel should exist. Look at Britain's history from the infamous 1939 White Paper which cut off the escape route for so many Jews to her absolute failure to do anything during the war for Europe's Jews (and no, the very last thing Britain did was fight the Nazis to save the Jews). Observe her treatment of concentration camp survivors in mandate Palestine. Witness her betrayal of her promises to the Jews. Follow carefully her considered and continual appeasement of the Arabs since 1948. Look today at what Blair is doing by using his influence with George W Bush to sell out the Jews once again. And, finally, read Melanie Phillips' article on the "New Anti-Semitism" in this week's Spectator.

I am not alone. From left and right the Jews of Britain are voicing their fears about their safety in Britain. Orthodox Jews are loathe to openly display symbols of their religion. Many have been attacked and insulted in the streets of London and elsewhere. I personally feel not much different to how a Jew felt living in Vienna in the late 1930's. Anti-Semitism may be lurking under the polite cover of anti-Zionism but it is no less real and no less dangerous.

Oh OK, you're talking about anti-Zionism. There I absolutely agree that the BBC and many newspapers are in that fold. I also am willing to agree that many on the Left use anti-Zionism to cover anti-Semitic prejudices.

But speaking as a non-Jewish Englishman, I can't recall ever giving a toss about any of my co-workers being Jewish or not. I can't recall my co-workers ever giving a toss about such things. I can't recall my mates giving a toss about such things either. You do hear about wacko minority groups such as the National Front, and how they attach themselves to football, and of course the mosque at Finsbury Park, but that is not the same as saying that the nation itself is deeply anti-Semitic.

Anti-Semitism is evil and the BBC is full of nonsense; but I hope you are not basing your opinion of the rest of your countrymen on what the BBC has to say.

Regards, Ivan
