Ariel Sharon issued an appeal for all Jews in France to leave and move to Israel.In doing so, he's not only right; he's also catching on a trend that's been going on for more than a year (see also here, here, and here... Enough already?)
While the French foreign ministry issues its Pointless Protest patented 254164 dash 6 (the one that calls Israel for an explanation of the "unacceptable comments"), the money quote comes from the president of the so called International League
There goes the Sandman, live from the Land of the Great Slumber:
These comments do not bring calm, peace and serenity that we all need (...) I think Mr Sharon would have done better tonight to have kept quiet.In other words, do let us sleep while our Jews are being clobbered.
Putting aside what seems to be a French tradition to tell the rest of the world to shut up when the rest of the world puts France's face in France's feces, what's remaining is an outstanding example of an aggravated state of reality denial.
135 acts and 375 threats of anti-semitism in the first six months this year, as opposed to 125 acts and 463 threats for last year as a whole. Confronting hatred, terrorism and unavowed warfare, such as what the French Jewish community is facing today Mr. Sandman, will require anything but calm, peace and serenity.
What you need indeed is awareness, resolve and ultimately self-defense.
The Left, and all these so called International Leagues of Subsidized Gushy Feelings are very good at having pointless dinners and fruitless protests where people will chant with self-flattering tears of professed altruism "Never again".
How touching. How noble. How futile.
Synagogues are burning now, cemeteries are being profaned now, and Jews are being attacked now.
Never again? Now is the time to prove you really mean it.
Over the last year, when asked for advices by my Jewish friends, my answer has been fairly simple: you could get weapons, or you could get the hell out of here. However, you're not supposed to defend yourself, since the French State enforces its monopoly on the legal use of force.
So you'd better get the hell out of here, before it's too late my friends.
Because despite its promises, you can't count on the French state to use its monopoly for your defense.
