#1 The US should make a public offer of refuge to French Jews. France and the EU would work themselves into a knot trying to spin that one.

#2 French Jews need to take the gloves off. Once there is retaliation then you'll see the big papers pick up the story. Lines will be drawn and shit can hit the fan. But maybe being French they are inclined to turn the other cheek. Remember "never again".

#3 Capt. Joe -- Absolutely. We should make an open offer of asylum/immigration to all European Jews. We should also halt immigration from Arab countries, at least temporarily, pointing to the European experience as the reason.

#4 I'm shocked by the acts, but not by their apparent cover-up by big media (really didn't heard of it, even on continous news channels; perhaps on parisian regional news reports?). Antisemitism is surging since 3 yrs, but the problem has been timidly acknowledged only since a few weeks. This is only going to worsen, and the jews are the proverbial canary in the coal mine.
OT : some of you may bitch about how biased CNN and the likes are, but, believe me I watch CNN with relief. Censorship is not the problem, mindset is. French media are owned by big-business, are overtly deferrent to politicians, overhelmingly left-leaning (72% IIRC), most of their cadre are formed in formating schools (and many "celebrities" are ex-trotskysts, very chic). They are basically an integral part of an isolated, self-reproducing "aristocracy" (France's true ennemy is its elite), a mouthpiece for the powerstructure and its choices (appeasment toward islam, containment of the US power, pro-arab/anti-israeli foreign policy, thirdworldism, EU integration, collectivism,... and generally, enforcing the statu quo at all costs), period.

What's a formating school? Post grad finishing?

#6 Correction : I actually remember Chantal Piekolek's murder; it was presented as a motiveless slashing. What was unusual in the reports was that the perp 's name was given (unwritten law : whenever muslims are involved in a crime of some sort, names are not given) and his ID pics broadcasted (ugly, scary MF).
"Formating " = bad english; what I meant was that elite are technocrats that all come from a handful of prestigious schools (mostly ENA, Ecole normale supÃ©rieure & polytechniques), and that media technocrats also have their own prestigious school, the CFJ, that "formate" their mind.

#7 "Formating school" -- where young French kids go to have their simple, common sense OS erased and replaced with the "French" operating system.

(sorry, Anon, couldn't resist a good geek reference)

#8 A link about France's troubles. You know you want to read it. Apparently written in french, and translated into basic english, so it's not great reading, and it's VERY didactical (I love the lil' drawings). Still, it explains a lot about that country.
