It's the Muslim immigrants this time, just as it was the German "immigrants" last time. The French, their hands are clean.

"The fact that German [or French] anti-Semitism and anti-capitalism spring from the same root is of great importance for the understanding of what has happened there, but this is rarely grasped by foreign observers." -- F.A. Hayak, "The Road to Serfdom", 1944

Just as true today as it was back then. No wonder the Pat Buchanans and Jean-Marie Le Pens are lately indistinguishable from the international labor unions and A.N.S.W.E.R. War is a great clarifier.

Let me get the rules straight.

Everyone must hate ther French, but the French can hate no one.

Interesting.

I cannot even get through this post. I am seething.

a lot of Jews in France feel very French, they also feel abandoned by their government

France has had both a positive and a negative relationship with its Jews..

"France never purged itself of anti-Semitism, just hid it.”

...there is also a “new anti-Semitism” on the Left that has practically nothing to do with Le Pen. “In fact, its most dangerous practitioners,” according to Caldwell, “are to be found among the very crowds thronging the streets to protest him.”

Dr. Charles Jacobs, president of the David Project in Boston, adds that the European Left’s adoption of “Palestinianism” as its banner exacerbates hatred of Jews.

...every militant Islamic organization throughout the globe preaches anti-Semitism and nearly all refer to a battle to the death with Jews...

....animosity displayed against Jews by the French Arabs or Muslims is also due to tribal solidarity..

In Europe, the Jewish population has been dwarfed by Muslim immigrants, many of whom blame the Jews for the suffering of the Palestinians,”

They need to point out French hypocrisy

But Project David’s Charles Jacobs says that understanding the merits of the case is key to understanding the problem. He believes the conflict in Israel is seen by much of the Muslim world as a religious conflict between Islam and the Jews. Jacobs speaks of a campaign in the Islamic world, funded in part by the Saudis, in which anti-Semitic material is distributed through a global network of madrassas and mosques.

Why is this not a hate crime? Why are Muslims allowed to use their mosques to distribute hate literature? Would any other religion in America be allowed to do this?

and the more recent public statement of Jean-Marie Le Pen, head of the right-wing, National Front party, calling the gas chambers a mere “detail” in the history of World War II.

Fill me in here guys. From what I remember Le Pen was labled "right-wing " for wanting to curb immigration, like any political person who speaks out against an influx of Arabs in Europe. I never read anything to make me believe he was anti-semetic.

Fortuyn was labled a right-winged extremist, (even though he was gay, ...not exactly a conservative stronghold)) He really nailed the problem with open Muslim immigration. He stated that the problem was fatherless Muslim families where mothers are not allowed to disipline their sons (Muslim laws), thus leading to marading raping, anti-semetic street gangs.

Socialism is not France's only major problem. If they don't wise up, sooner or later we are all in for a hell of a ride.

“Jews and Jewish institutions have been attacked by Muslims in France, Belgium, Italy and other countries because of this.”

Wheew, glad they didn't say Germany. I'd like to think they have the nuts under better control here.
