Paris, May 12, 2003
French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy Monday condemned anti-Semitism as he received an international prize from a leading Jewish organization, saying that anti-Jewish behavior deserved "zero tolerance."
This started as just a bunch of thugs angry at police... some opportunists have decided to make into something else.... I mean- there is no doubt that it is now a political uprising... but I odn't think the first "rioters" had any reason for anything. The press came in making excuses and reasons instead of admitting that the Muslims were acting just like the "conservatives" have described them.
It is like the whole- I murder, rape, and steel because my dad beat me and mom was hooker defense... don't you think?
I believe one of Sarkozy's grandparents was Jewish. One side of his family was from Hungry. They fled the Nazis to France.
Skarkozy has alway downplayed his non-French family heritage. Skarkozy has alway emphasized assimilation.
