Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are not the same thing. Plus, did this Ambasador ever engage or incite in any anti-Jewish violence?
No mention, either, of the cartoon in the leftist French newspaper Liberation that, as an account in the July issue of Commentary put it, showed Prime Minister Sharon "standing next to a cross with a hammer and nails in his mouth. The caption: 'no Christmas for Arafat. But he is welcome on Easter.'" Liberation is not edited by North African youths, nor did the classical anti-Semitic image of the Jew as Christ-killer originate with North African youths.
And how many of the Liberation's editors engaged in violence against Jews? And how many of the readers of this magazine do you think would be moved by the image of the "Christ-killer," given that most Frenchmen are not believers?
100% of the incidents involve Moslems.
Most French Christians (or should I say post-Christians?) don't like Jews very much, but dislike and hatred are not the same thing. If historic French anti-Semitism were responsible for the present violence, why is it that these attacks only began after large waves of Moslem immigrants were let into France?
I don't believe that for a minute. If you had stated,"MOST of the incidents involved Moslems",I could have gone along with it. There is no shortage of Jew-haters amongst the non-Muslim French population,and I'm positive some of these people are responsible for some of the violence against Jews. As far as that goes,these same people are probably also responsible for some of the violent acts against Muslims in France.
