Sharon was right to call French jews to aliyah. Only horrible, little people could act this way.

Stunned and sickened.
What kind of scum would act like that, in THAT place?
What were those three doing there? Taking notes? Getting ideas?!
So, Carine, any "Don't touch my buddy!" campaigns being launched by the government to decry violence against jews? Such as the one done 15 years ago to halt flare-ups between the french and the rapidly growind, non-assimilating, North African muslim population?
Or is this new anit-violence campaian called "Tsk. Tsk."?

Still not a word in the French media.
So long, "buddies."

My grand-mother is Polish, though Catholic. My grand-parents moved to France a long time ago, before WWII.
Europe seems to be giving in to her suicidal inaction again.
How bad is the situation in Poland? I've had the opportunity to talk to some Polish Catholic nuns here in France and I was shocked by their anti-Semitism. And to be honest, their anti-Americanism too. But I assumed they were just bigots. What is the situation in Poland?

Another one in the Polish grandmother club here. Do they all stuff you full of food till you're ready to burst?

You can count on me to stand with you.
Years ago I was honored to hear Irene Gut Opdyke be interviewed. I was so moved by her story of courage and determination to thwart the Nazis in Poland I bought her memoir, In My Hands. Mrs. Opddye is honored today in Israel as a Righteous Gentile.
I hold the book in safe keeping until my little daughter is of an age to read this grimly horrific, but inspiring story. Evidence that one person can make a difference.
Evil spreads only when it is allowed to grow. And something is growing in Europe.
