The video all of France wants banned:
To: LarryLied
''Bravo for France! This vote shows the French people do not want to return to the past and do not want to be ruled by despicable people nostalgic for the Vichy regime,'' she said. Well, only 20% of them do.

France's Jewish community, Europe's largest, welcomed the defeat of extreme right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen in the presidential election on Sunday but warned that his score was worryingly high nonetheless. I fail to see how empowering the Muslim Immigrants can be a good thing for France's Jews.
How many of the current crop of anti-Jewish acts in France have been perpetrated by Le Pen supporters?

Le Pen is worse than the Muslims who torch synagogues. Le Pen said the Holocaust is a "detail" of history. Jean-Marie is a madman.Had he not been defeated, who knows what he might have said next.

You have to wonder if Jews have a death wish.

BBC reported that 10,000 Jewish students protested Le Pen in Paris on May Day.

Would you like that video if its targets were reversed?
No, I would not like to see the tail end of all French people, thank you very much.
Do you really think all or most French are that bigoted?
Just the 40% or so that are on the far left and the 20% on the far right, and the nut jobs in the middle 20%. Everyone else is okay.

It *is* a detail of history. Almost every single event in history is a 'detail.' He never said it didn't happen and I have not heard him comment on the morality of it. If he said it was 'okay' for the Germans to do what they did, I would've been appalled and I doubt anyone here on FR would've given him the least bit of support.
Most of what I have heard lately is mindless ranting and hysteria. Rarely does the media actually quote anything the man has said, and even more rare do they give large pieces of his speeches. Instead, his opponants resort to undemocratic means of defeating him, such as labelling him something and then refusing to debate with him. If the man is really that much of a whack job, why not let him display it to everyone by putting him in the spotlight. The answer is that I have heard he gives very good speeches and can debate well. I suppose Chirac and the media doesn't want his voice to be heard...for people's own good, of course.
Sorry, but from those things that have come directly from Le Pen, he doesn't seem entirely like a whack-job. Some of his measures seem a bit extreme to me, but many of them seem very sensible.
At any rate, the people of France have chosen. They remain, to me, a pathetic people: only in France would the electorate have to chose between an alleged fascist and a scandalous loser. As they say, people get the leadership they deserve.

Well, I guess the French Jews can just continue to be stuck with the Jew-hating Arabs in their midst.
I just wish the press would quit insinuating that anti-Semitism is flourishing among the European French people, instead of pointing out up front who the true anti-Semites are, the Arabs, and oddly enough, as it appears some of the Jews as well. Another thing, the press is strangely quiet about all the attacks on non-Arabs living in France by the Arabs there. They like to portray the Arabs as victims.

Over a million French citizens marched against Le Pen one day last week. France needs to find someone not as left as Chirac, but the answer is not a Holocaust denying, ultra right-wing nut whose defeat you appear to mourn.

It was in America's best interest for Le Pen to get at least 30%.
That would have knocked down the Trotskyites, communists and socialists for a generation. They are the ones always running to international organizations such as the UN and attempting to infringe on our national sovereignty. And they don't operate alone, they get other internationalists to push and push and push with them.
The fewer of those types in power anywhere, the better for America.
But you don't care about that. 600,000 Jews in France were offended by Le Pen. That is more important to you than the interests of over 260,000,000 Americans.
Abe Foxman would be proud.
Btw...Le Pen's real sin in the eyes of Foxman was not his comment about the Holocaust. It was that Le Pen said Jews used communism and race (multiculturalism) to tear down Christianity and France. Only place I saw that reported was by Eric Margolis in the Toronto Sun. Every other article repeated the Holocaust "detail of history" quip he made. Wonder why that was. . .

It *is* a detail of history. Almost every single event in history is a 'detail.' France's empowered Muslims do not consider the Nazi Gas Chambers to be just a detail of history but rather something to be celebrated and emulated.
To: Mike Darancette
Jospin had been a member of an underground Trotskyite party. For years, Jospin was a mole in the French socialist party. Trotsky attempted to stamp out Christainity and murdered many before he was expelled from the Soviet Union. Didn't see Jews marching in the streets of Paris protesting Jospin, a man who admired Trotsky. Abe Foxman didn't denounce Jospin for following a person who committed genocide and crimes against humanity.
