Yet because he is a Jew, he was attacked by a group of other children, mostly Muslim, at the private Catholic school he then attended. WTF??? What a crazy country France is.

Not everyone is willing to call the current wave of violence anti-Semitism. Henri Wajnblum, head of the Union of Progressive Jews of Belgium, said it is important to distinguish between anti-Semitic and anti-Israel actions. He and other members of his Brussels-based group have been visiting classrooms in Muslim neighborhoods to help explain the difference between Zionists and Jews in general."I like to start off the class by screaming 'Please do not hurt me, O my worthy Muslim masters' just to warm up" Wajnblum said, "then I tell them: 'Kill the Zionists, don't kill me! I hate Israel, it's the Zionists you want' and then I give them the names and addresses of other Jews. So far, I've been pretty safe!"

The Palestineans want their own country, right...
Let's give them France

There is little difference between the Catholic schools and the state schools in France anymore. The only substantive difference is that the Catholic schools cost money and their students perform better on the national exams.
There are nominally Catholic schools in France nowwhere Muslim prayer services are held weekly and attendance at Mass is optional.
The situation is completely out of hand.

France has sold her soul to the muslims, they have plenty living within their territory. Yes, many confirmations of cases of anti-semitism and since France has contracts with Iraq, that's why they hated us going to war. Now they cannot continue to milk that cow or get their payments - France has become truly evil.

Perhaps, this will give the Jews in France a nudge to leave and head for home (Israel). It's getting about that time anyway. I think the time is coming when the only safe place for Israelites will be either Israel or the U.S.
Also, if things keep going they way they are, Islam will be less welcome here...

Around 100,000 New Yorkers who defended Saddam last weekend, are in support of this terror.

France is allowing Jews to be harassed and attacked with impunity and Catholics are sitting back and doing nothing to prevent it.
Where in the heck have we heard this story before?
Does 1940-1945 come to mind?

If they did that to my child there would be some asses kicked regardless of assault charges against me.

Jews: Arm yourselves. If they attempt a repeat of Crystalnacht they should be met with a hail of bullets.

Seriously, with the growing rise of Islam in Europe AND the acquiescence of Western European governments, it might be wise for Western European Jews to make travel plans. Think "1930s", although that is heartbreaking.

"no one helped him"
Not suprising the French didn't help. There have been alot of these stories lately. The parents should save the money they spend on private school and get the heck out of there (go to Israel or something). Its only a matter of time until it becomes the Islamic Republic of France

Mind you, teachers not doing anything about bullies has been rather common in my experience, without Judaism having anything to do with it....

When Jérémy broke free from his tormentors in the shower, he ran for help to the teacher's lounge but none of the faculty rose from their chairs to help the disheveled and distraught boy. Jérémy said it wasn't the first anti-Semitic incident he had experienced at the school, nor the last.
The director of the school, Robert Patrois, dismissed the incident as a schoolyard brawl between a Muslim boy and a Jewish boy "that brought out their 14-year-old vocabulary." In a telephone interview he grew irritated when asked if the teachers had come to Jérémy's aide.
"Don't ask me to remember what they did," he said. "I didn't want to treat it as an anti-Arab or anti-Jewish incident. I treated it as fighting."
After the incident, Jérémy and his parents filed a complaint with the police, but the boy was taunted repeatedly in the subsequent weeks by other Muslim students.
Finally, Jérémy's mother sent a lengthy complaint in the notebook that every student carries to pass messages between parents and faculty, but the notebook was never returned and a new, blank one was sent home with her son instead.
If this isn't something straight out of the Hitler era, then what is?
