"The French" are not a bunch of Israel hating anti-semites, any more than "the French" are a bunch of America + Britain hating anti-les-Anglo-Saxons.Originally posted by Sidez
Come on Stone, apologise for your comments and recognise that anti-semitism is not wide spread in France. The actions of a small minority within the muslim communities does not make us French a bunch of Israel hating anti-semites. Let's move on.
However, anti-les-Anglo-Saxonism is widespread in France. Anti-semitism is widespread in France, at times, conveniently couched in anti-zionism. Keep denying it and it'll keep spreading - it's happened before, and it'll happen again. I'd fear for French Jews if not for the fact that I trust in the power of America and Israel.
I don't hate the French - I hate the politics they've adopted, and I hate what those politics will do to a possibly great country. Britain was on the edge of falling into a France-like situation back in the 70s: thanks to Hatcher, it's come back out of that pit, and it's ascending once again. Maybe one day they'll figure shit out, learn how to run a real democracy, and capitalize on the amazing potential of France. I'm not holding my breath.
