ChIrak mad at the anti-semitic boomers. Really.

"When a Jew is aggressed, France altogether is aggressed," said France’s President Jacques Chirac. "For centuries and centuries, our Jewish co-citizens are here at home. I want to solemnly condemn in the name of the Nation all anti-Semitic action." Chirac added that anti-Semitism was not in accordance with the traditions of the Republic.
Right before his lips fell off.
Two days after arsonists torched a Jewish secondary school near Paris, Jacques Chirac hurried to convene a special restrained cabinet meeting "to fight racism and anti-Semitism in France". "The President insisted upon chairing in person this meeting to remind that the Republic’s basic values cannot tolerate racism or anti-Semitism," said France’s Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin.
Then his legs shrank.
Jacques Chirac asked his Prime minister to set up an interdepartmental commission that will convene on a monthly basis, "to take stock of the actions recognized as anti-Semitic actions throughout the country and of the necessary repression of this evil. We have mobilized means for the security of places of worship and of study. We will also act to reinforce the penal actions, to impose the heaviest sentences so that we can clamp down as is right and proper on all those who carry this evil: anti-Semitism or racism," said Raffarin.
Then his nose grew.
A targeted action will be lead in the French state schools "to improve the understanding of living-together," added Raffarin.
He was then distracted for a moment as his harp bent and a string broke.
Following the restrained cabinet meeting, President Chirac told a delegation of French Jewish leaders about the decisions taken to toughen the struggle against anti-Semitism.
Then he turned into a pillar of salt and could say no more.
According to figures released by the French presidential palace, 2003 showed a marked decrease in the number of anti-Semitic acts (172 anti-Semitic acts from January to August 2002, 72 for the corresponding period in 2003; 647 anti-Semitic threats from January to August 2002 against 247 for this period in 2003). "These are encouraging figures which strengthen the determination of the French authorities in pursuing their policy of zero tolerance" according to the official document.

You would think that the degree of violence associated with each incident would make a difference to any moron not mezmorized by a graph.

If and when the French finally restore law and order to the cités, only then will I believe that they are serious about solving their many problems. Until then, statements like these are simply treated as bullshit to be ignored....
