Besides other strange analysis this Fisk has, his parallel between France/Algeria and Israel/Palestine is not valid : 1/ French to Arab population was 15% 85% Israel to Arab population is 80% 20 % 2/ The Frenchmen had some other place to go, France for instance. Israelis have now here to go. 3/ Algeria was a pure colony since 1832. The French never was an historical connection to that land, never prayed "next year in the Sahara" like Jews did, possibly too much. Or too long ? 4/ The surfaces cannot be compared as the whole Israel is hardly more than 1% of Algeria, and there is no oil or gaz. 5/ As for the casualties, Nadine replied. 6/ Pals do not cut throats. Nor genitals. Israelis do not massacre. 7/ The war inAlgeria lasted 6 years, in Is/Pal 54, and going up.
