To Nadine: Yes, there are anti-Semites in France as there are racists in this country that burn down black churches... Both are odious and neither supported by the population at large. French article about the Jewish community receiving support from the Islamic community after the incidents. permanent.nouvelobs.com To Haim Branisteanu: France has very strong anti-Semites - research the Dryfuss (spl?) trial over 100 years ago and the Vichey Government during WWII The Dreyfuss Affair was over a hundred years ago and, yes, it did reveal anti-Semitism was alive and well in France. Not unlike the "Morgan Bonds" Affair in the U.S. when J.P. Morgan saved the U.S. from financial ruin and making a profit at the same time. The nation was in an uproar over that. A nation had been saved but people were upset because a Jew had made a profit. Hints of anti-Semitism a hundred years ago in the U.S. The Vichy Government was a 'puppet' govt. installed by a conquering army. You know, the kinds of things the U.S. liked to do. Reminds me of Batista in Cuba. To Hawkmoon Well, I certainly question their grasp of reality when a book, written by a Frenchman who claims the terrorist attack on the Pentagon didn't happen (some kind of CIA plot, I suppose)... Idiocy knows no boundaries: Pierre Salinger had proof that a missile shot down TWA 800. Also found this site proving that Americans are loony too stating: "WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT WAS BEHIND IT OR NOT, THEY'RE CERTAINLY CAPITALIZING ON IT. "GIVE UP YOUR LIBERTY FOR SECURITY" Meanwhile, The Borders Are Wide Open, The Feds Have Given the Chinese the Newest Missile Delivery Systems, and They, in Turn, Have Given Them to Iran." infowars.com Check out the #1 non-fiction best seller in the U.S. January 20,2002 1 The Death of the West by Patrick Buchanan (St. Martin’s/Thomas Dunne). Buchanan blames America’s problems on immigration, population shifts and lack of religion. Label me whacko but this guy might be considered anti-Semitic: Buchanan referred to Capitol Hill as "Israeli-occupied territory." (St. Louis Post Dispatch, 10/20/90) In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage...Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path." (The Guardian, 1/14/92) Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by diesel exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90) Buchanan's columns have run in the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American National PAC newsletter and other publications that claim Nazi death camps are a Zionist concoction. Buchanan was vehement in pushing President Reagan -- despite protests-- to visit Germany's Bitburg cemetery, where Nazi SS troops were buried. At a White House meeting, Buchanan reportedly reminded Jewish leaders that they were "Americans first" -- and repeatedly scrawled the phrase "Succumbing to the pressure of the Jews" in his notebook. Buchanan was credited with crafting Ronald Reagan's line that the SS troops buried at Bitburg were "victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps." (New York Times, 5/16/85; New Republic, 1/22/96)
