The French Crush Dissent
The French are mighty annoyed about Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s statement that urges Jews to leave France.
Quoting the Fox News link “The president of France’s National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, said Sharon “missed a good opportunity to keep quiet.”... “These comments do not bring calm, peace and serenity that we all need,” said Patrick Gaubert, president of the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, known by the acronym LICRA. “I think Mr. Sharon would have done better tonight to have kept quiet.””
What is it about the French and their obsession with telling others to “shut up”. Today it’s Sharon, a year ago it was the Eastern Europe: Chirac to Eastern Europe, “”It is not really responsible behavior. It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet.””
???
Something must be lost in translation. Is this the Cheese-Eating-Surrender-Monkey equivalent to Dick Cheney’s comment to Senator Patrick Leahy that he could “F*** off” or “go f*** himself” “shut up”? If so, it sounds rather pathetic – like a kid being teased on the playground telling his tormentors to “shut up!”. However in this case, the bullies are the French and the tormented are the Jews in France, who have suffered as many attacks this year as they had the whole of last year.
If the French want to tell anyone to shut-up, it should be their Arab allies who continue to produce the most incendiary anti-Jewish and anti-American propaganda imaginable. Or better yet, maybe Chirac should take a page out of a Dick Cheney speech and tell the Arab Jew-haters to “go F*** themselves”.
