France's anti-Semitism. . .and some suggestions

Apparently I am not the only one who thinks that France is the most anti-Semetic country on the planet. This article in Haaretz suggests that over 90% of Jews think so. It is no surprise that France is doing little to attempt to change this, though Sharon's recent pronouncement about Chiraq not being an anti-Semite probably helped a bit.

France is a shitty little country in Europe. It is about as significant as Greece. Many years ago they made a contribution to the world, but that era is over, and now they have to show themselves to be the great liberal, progressive country they claim to be.

There is no Zionist conspiracy to hate France. Jews have nothing to gain by marginalizing her. Zionists have more important things to worry about. It just works out that anti-Semitism is France's biggest commodity.

France should improve her image. Perhaps she can start a program of having Jew-friendly tours of the country with kosher food, and a guide who is not rude to everyone. Perhaps they can admit that they liked being Vichy, and now feel sorry. Perhaps they can crack down on those who stab rabbis and burn synagogues. Perhaps a few public trials of perpertartors. Maybe Chiraq could come to Israel and make Kennedyesque "Ani Yerushalmi" speech.

Of course doing this would piss off her new Arab voters.

And that reminds me that there are now two strands of anti-Semitism in France. Maybe I should give up.
