Many Americans have an intense dislike for the French...... and it has absolutely nothing to do with any religion....Jewish included.
It has much more to do with their view of America. Many feel that a large portion of the French population are unduly argumentative, quarelsome, anti-American via jealousy, and overly pro Russian. Example? Politely ask for directions to a local person in Paris and nine times out of ten they will give you the wrong directions and laugh behind your back.....happy to create problems
Recall also that a large portion of the French were pro German during the occupation.....and the French military was split against the Allies until they saw which way the wind was blowing. In North Africa Roosevelt had little confidence that the pro German Vichy French would not kill large numbers of Americans....People conveniently forget these things.
Yes, I know...not ALL the French!!!
