Charges of antisemitism are a cover for the activities of a group

Part of the "world-wide conspiracy", Larry?

Because when it comes to the French, the predjudice fits. The French deserve what will be their ultimate fate; enslavement at the hand of the Muslim immigrants they are allowing to overrun their country. (Don't worry, we are doing the same thing with Mexican immigrants.)

I agree with you, Angelique. I don't understand why it's okay to bash an entire nationality (the French) in the name of fighting anti-Semitism. Why is it fair to demonize one ethnic group as a way of protesting the demonization of another group? The vast majority in France is not anti-Semitic. I would invite everyone to read an article on anti-Semitism in this week's issue of the Economist. The article includes poll results showing that 80% or more of the French population does not hold anti-Semitic views.

What is the problem with saying the synagogues burning in France are due to Jews, among others, pushing multiculturalism?

Nothing. Most rape victims had it coming too.

Well. France targets the US ALL of the time. I love the fact that we are supposed to sit there and take all the vitriol directed towards us but if we express dislike of the French, we are "Hateful."

Nevertheless, I do not hate you, I just pity you. I couldn't live in your form of state for one day, let alone my whole life.

We did not "get" Le Pen, sad to say, and what on Earth prompted to compare this great French patriot, the male Joan of Arc, the modern day Martel, with the likes of Bill Clintoon?

[Phillip Augustus]

Touchdown! Keep telling the truth, and, eventually, the truth might, just MIGHT, start seeping into some heads.

[Phillip Augustus]

They don't do much when the Mooslims gang rape French girls, either. It is not called anti-semitism, it is called cowardice and Political Correctness, and it is not limited to France, either (eg, Mardi Gras riots in Seattle, Crown heights pogrom in Brooklyn).

The only place in France I'd visit is Agincourt.

[besieged]

Hmm, Phillip... sounds to me like another good reason for not visiting France, don't you agree???

[onedoug]

Christ liked people too. Look what happened to him.

[Phillip Augustus]

I suppose you could look at it that way, but if a Political correct government precludes a vacation, then I would have to boycott every place in the world, excepting places I would not wish to visit in the first place, like Saudi Arabia.

[SJackson]

The "rape victims" should blame the rapists, not their fellow-victims.

I agree completely. It's not the fault of the victim attire, the street she chose to walk down, of the fact that the victim might be an unarmed opponent of gun rights. The victim is just that, and the blame rests solely with the rapist.

[besieged]

You have a good point.

And as much as I wanted to visit Spain, Sweden, London, Greece, etc... that all has to go on hold till things change in the world. We all need to make choices - what we consider important to stand up for.

For me, the behavior of the EU in general has been a thorn... so, I am voting with my dollars, which are being diverted from France to Israel. From Bordeaux to Napa. (wines) From Chanel to Gucci. (perfume) From Bavaria to Detroit (cars). From Camembert to Parmgiano (cheese). From Mephisto to Naot. (Shoes) From LaCoste to Ferragamo. (Clothes).

I know my contribution is infinitesimally small... but for me, it is big. I am not suggesting you do what I do. Each of us must according to thier own internal compass.

That's it- I'm calling for reparations ;)
