I always love discussions with you because you have an execellent way of turning around all sides of the puzzle cube!

It took how many years from the Dreyfus affair to the Vélodrome d'Hiver round up in Paris?

My first post on the thread was to bring back the Paris attacks to their rightful place. There are big issues in the middle east - but this conflict in France . . . It's a North African / French colonial issue. And those people in France might take their sweet time - 44 years - and Muslims will still be outnumbered by non Muslims in country.

You can't look at the issue of Muslims - poor, disenfranchised, marginalized in France -

Without considering the Far Right - and how effective they are in their propaganda.

And I have an icky sick feeling the Far Right there are more than happy to let the Jews take the hits to get what they want.

We are in the age of genocide. We've had one already in this century - Sudan. The world does nothing when countries turn against their inhabitants for WHAT they are. And men like my friend Arnaud are literally dying off. He saw his boyhood friends disappear. He knows precisely what this political climate in France can lead to.
