Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in that country where there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an E-mail that came from a Jew living in France.

Please read! "Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?" He writes: "I AM A JEW -- therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing. Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France. In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently. A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails and on the statue of Alfred Dreyfus, in Paris, the words 'Dirty Jew' were painted. In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars. The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months. According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days. Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming 'Jews to the gas chambers' and 'Death to the Jews.' A gunman opened fire on a kosher butcher's shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse, France. A Jewish couple in their 20's were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne, France (the woman was pregnant). A Jewish school was broken into and vandalized in Sarcelles, France. This was just in the past week."

"So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a friend, or merely a person with the capacity and desire to distinguish decency from depravity, to do - at least - these three simple things:

First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let yourself become deluded into thinking that this is not your fight. I remind you of what Pastor Neimoller said in World War II: 'First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.'

Second, boycott France and French products. Only the Arab countries are more toxically anti-Semitic and, unlike them, France exports more than just oil and hatred. So boycott their wines and their perfumes. Boycott their clothes and their foodstuffs. Boycott their movies. Definitely boycott their shores. If we are resolved we can exert amazing pressure and, whatever else we may know about the French, we most certainly know that they are like a cobweb in a hurricane in the face of well-directed pressure.

Third, send this along to your family, your friends, and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of good conscience that you know and let them know that you - and the people that you care - about need their help.

The number one bestselling book in France is....'September 11: The Frightening Fraud' which argues that no plane ever hit the Pentagon!

Please Pass This On, Let's not let history repeat itself, thank-you for your time and consideration."



This was emailed to me and I have no clue who the author is....but it came from my dad who forwarded it to me. This is probable not reported in the media to be careful not to hurt the feelings of muslims....

If you read the whole piece you would have noticed that I mentioned, my dad emailed it to me and he had gotten it from some one else....so I did say something about it!

But I just googled one thing and this came up.

ARSONISTS ATTACK JEWS IN MONTPELLIER & PARIS

Arsonists renew attacks on Jewish sites in France
Reuters
April 4, 2002

PARIS - Arsonists struck Jewish targets in two French cities in the latest of a wave of such attacks, firebombing a religious centre and torching a school bus, police said on Thursday.

Attackers threw several firebombs at the Jewish religious centre in the southern city of Montpellier overnight, setting a nearby office ablaze. The bus was torched at a Jewish school in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers on Wednesday evening.

Prime Minister Lionel Jospin has ordered police to mount guards at Jewish schools and synagogues throughout France.

France deployed riot police at Jewish religious sites and schools countrywide after the arson attack late Sunday at Marseille's Or Aviv temple. The fire destroyed the synagogue, leaving it a blackened mass of wood and metal.

Early yesterday, a Jewish cemetery building near Strasbourg was burned down, the latest target in a rash of attacks. Since last Friday, synagogues in Lyons, Marseilles and Strasbourg have been attacked by youths throwing Molotov cocktails.

A Jewish couple was attacked in a Lyons suburb and a kosher butcher was shot at in Toulouse.

This is not reported in the media because it's a chain email with no supporting links.

Good going!
That e-mail could have been sent by anyone from anywhere. And it seems you're ready to push the panic button.

I call BS. France has Jew as its president, for chrissakes!!!

This thread is more of the the elite playing the victim-card again, it gets tiresome, it's time-tested propaganda ploy but nobody believes it anymore. Jews were in privileged positions as elites in the Soviet Union too, and always claimed to be "victims". There are Russian Jewish oligarchs who are multi-billionaires and this STILL try to whine and claim "anti-semitism". It's literally a joke.

Besides, the Muslims are angry at Jews because of Zionism and the way Israel treats the Palestinians. If Israel would act civil, things might change.

As they say, you get what you give in life. For every action there is a reaction..... What comes around goes around....

Moderator cut: the comments you are referring to have been deleted
Back to topic: I call BS. Sarkozy is a French Jew and his son is marrying a Jew. There must be some serious widespread "anti-semitism" for the president of the country to be Jewish and get elected.

Look it up. It's not even controversial, since it's open fact and basic knowledge.

That saying counts for you as well!
It sounds like you have something against wealthy people who worked hard and you make accusations and/or say things that are so far from the truth. Tell me which Jewish president French ever had? If you mean that the previous wife of this president has ancesters with Jewish blood, that doesn't makes him Jewish and he is even married to some one else.
So you accusation sounds more than a anti semitic remark or at least a very biased bashing. If i'm wrong than proof me so and please incl. facts and links!

Sarkozy's Jewish roots (May 8, 2007) (http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=3162 - broken link)

I suggest you do some research, as France is actually very anti-Muslim. Their previous President even spoke out publically against Islam.

All those articles you linked are from 2002.

Wait..Wait...

You actually think France is pro-Muslim and anti-Jew? I don't think anyone who's been following things could possibly take the former with a straight face.
