| French mayor gets it : 'Either them or us' |

| A week old, but interesting anyway. He gets it, obviously. Note the first hit I got when googling it to find the english version was of course a scornful rebutal ("Racist! Zionist!") by the french Moderate Muslim forum oumma.com... By Daniel Ben Simon Even two weeks later, the Jewish merchants of the Jewish Quarter were still on edge. Some of them still had fearful memories of the band of black youths dressed in black who launched an attack on the Rue des Rosiers, waving heavy baseball bats as they threatened the merchants to crack their skulls. For several long minutes, dozens of members of the Tribu KA marched down the Jewish street, shouting anti-Jewish slogans. The owner of the Jewish bookshop located where the street begins related this week that the youths shouted "Death to the Jews." The falafel stand owner said that they threatened to "fuck all the Jews." Rue des Rosiers is at the very heart of the Jewish neighborhood of Le Marais, which has recently begun to attract members of the city's homosexual community. Actually, in people's minds, Le Marais is now more strongly associated with gays than jews, I'd say, but that's just my impression. But then again, I'm not parisian, thanks God. Thousands of Jews were forcibly removed from their homes here 60 years ago by the Vichy authorities and were sent to transit camps, from which they were deported to death camps. The memories are still fresh, and the Jewish residents of this neighborhood still carry the scars from that era when the skies of France darkened. |

| #1 He is sure the Muslim immigrants have declared war on France with the intention of bringing it to its knees. Maybe a celebration of the 24th of August will bring to the muzzies attention what can happen to minorities in France if the people feel they and their way of life are threatened. |
