Gustave has already documented this well. Jews are aligned with the racist facists in France, in persecuting the Arab and North African segments of the population: ... An unholy alliance of hard-line Zionists and the fascist National Front of Jean Marie Le Pen is spearheading efforts to whip up already festering tensions between France’s Muslims and Jews ... wsws.org And there is no telling how many of these "anti-Semitic" incidents were perpetrated by Betar/Mossad/etc. Tom

Lorne... just out of curiosity, does the USAF still enforce the burqa on female cadets? Top general is pressing inquiry into sex scandal Eric Schmitt The New York Times Friday, February 28, 2003 WASHINGTON The U.S. Air Force's top general has endorsed a congressional call for an independent inquiry at the Air Force Academy, where at least 20 women say they have been raped or sexually assaulted in recent years. The officer, General John Jumper, the air force chief of staff, also promised that a team of officers sent from Washington to the academy in Colorado Springs would "vigorously investigate" accusations that current and former cadets who reported sexual assaults faced indifference or even retaliation by academy officials. "I welcome any investigation that is put out there, but there's none that's going to be more thorough than mine," Jumper said Wednesday. In his most detailed comments on the widening scandal, Jumper, a former fighter pilot and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke in unusually personal terms about an issue that he said struck close to home. He is the father of three daughters, two of them captains in the air force. The third begins officer training next year. "You're looking at a dad who has absolutely no patience for that sort of thing, if it's true," he said. Mindful of how the navy mishandled the Tailhook sexual harassment debacle a decade ago, Jumper and his civilian boss, James Roche, the air force secretary, have taken leading roles on the issue as an increasing number of women have gone public with their accounts of being raped or sexually assaulted at the academy. Roche was due to speak to the cadets on Thursday night at the academy. He and Jumper have talked about what some women cadets say is a male-dominated culture at the academy that discouraged reporting the attacks and failed to give the women adequate emotional or legal support afterward. Some women have said that in the inquiries into their accusations, academy officials seized on other violations that occurred before the assaults, like drinking or inappropriate fraternization, to undermine their credibility.
