Re: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has urged all French Jews to move to Israel immediately to escape anti-Semitism.

Sharon's flogging a dead horse:

[...]
In Paris, the Foreign Ministry was clearly offended by Mr Sharon's appeal. A spokesman, Herve Ladsous, said: "We have immediately made contact with Israeli authorities to ask them for explanations about these unacceptable statements."

French Jewish leaders interviewed on France-2 Television said Mr Sharon's remarks were unhelpful. "These comments do not bring calm, peace and serenity that we all need," said [Jewish] Patrick Gaubert, president of the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism. "I think Mr Sharon would have done better to have kept quiet."

Theo Klein, honorary president of Crif, an umbrella group representing French Jewish organisations, said Mr Sharon should let the French Jewish community take care of its own problems. Mr Klein said: "It's not up to him to decide for us."

Sharon's urging the French Jewry to move to Israel is somehow counterproductive --from a Judeofascist point of view... After all, if all of France's Arabophobic Jews leave, who'll be left to stir it up between true-born French and Arab/Muslim immigrants??? Mr Le Pen and his Jewish spinmeister, Mrs Sonia Arrouas, won't like it! Clue:

[...]
Ironically, at least some right-wing leaders profess themselves to be friends of Israel and the Jewish people.

Pim Fortuyn, for example, who heads a rightist movement in the Netherlands, was described in The New York Times as being "as hostile to Muslim immigrants as he is supportive of Israel."

While most French Jews are expected to vote against Le Pen in the [May 2002] run-off, his unofficial adviser on Jewish affairs, Sonia Arrouas, who is Jewish, said that a Le Pen victory might be in the Jews' interests.

"Le Pen is opposed to the Arabs and is, therefore, good for the Jews," Arrouas told the Israeli daily Ha'aretz. "Le Pen is pro-Israel and believes it is the only Western state in the Arab East, and this is why Israel's security and existence is important to him.''

You can bet that the Zionists will NEVER EVER call for large numbers of American Jews to move to Israel. That would reduce the strength of the US Zionist lobby -- without which which Israel could never continue with is dispossession and constant killing of the Palestinians.

Jewish tombs have also been desecrated.

A degrading memorial

By Alexander Yakobson


In the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Beit Yisrael, the Jerusalem municipality has erected a memorial to the fatalities of the August 2003 terror attack on the No. 2 bus: a memorial plaque bearing the names of those who were killed. The name of one of the dead, Maria Antonia Reslas of the Philippines, was engraved separately from the others, and she was given the title "Mrs.," while the Jewish dead were awarded the title "sainted" (kadosh). "Shortly after the ceremony," the newspaper (Haaretz Hebrew edition, August 9) reports, "there was already evidence of the scratching that unknown persons had done over Reslas' name."

The damage to the plaque is an ugly act of vandalism but the plaque itself, which officially declares that one of the dead is a second-class victim because she is not Jewish, is far more shameful and ugly. This is not a matter of an act by extremists. The hand hesitates to write this, but the truth must be told: The municipality of Jerusalem decided to degrade the woman who was killed out of consideration for the feelings of the public.
