Calling the anti-Semitic incidents a "spillover from the Israel-Palestinian conflict," he argued that "they don't make France any more anti-Semitic than the persistence of the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists makes the United States a racist country on the verge of restoring segregation or slavery."

Funny, I don't recall any novels celebrating the KKK, lynching or slavery shooting to the top of the American bestseller lists the way a new anti-Semitic novel just has in France. Do any of you?

By the way, the number of active Klansmen in the US today is roughly a whopping 2500 people. That's 0.009% of the US population. Who here believes only nine-thousandths of one percent of the French are anti-Semites? (Hint: 3% of France is Muslim. And France wasn't exactly known for being a Jewish haven even before the Muslims started emigrating.)
