Worrying times in France

Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in France where there are nowbetween 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an E-mail that came from a Jew living in France.Please read!

Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?

Hewrites, "I AM A JEW -- therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing." Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France : In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire.

In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg andMarseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.

A Jewishsports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails, and on thestatue of Alfred Dreyfus in Paris , the words "Dirty Jew" were painted.

In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks andmetal bars. The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliershas been attacked three times in the last 14 months.

According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days.

Walls in Jewishneighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming "Jews to the gaschambers" and "Death to the Jews."

A gunman opened fire on a kosherbutcher's shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse, France; a Jewish couple in their 20's were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne, France. The woman was pregnant; a Jewish school was broken into and vandalized inSarcelles, France. This was just in the past week. "

So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a friend, or merelya person with the capacity and desire to distinguish decency from depravity,to do, at least, these three simple things:
First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let yourself become deluded into thinking that this is not your fight.

I remind you ofwhat Pastor Neimoller said in World War II: "First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then theycame for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me".

Second, protest to the media about what is going on. Write to the French embassy.

Third, send this along to your family, your friends, and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of good conscience that you know and let them know that you and the people that you care about need their help. The number one bestselling book in France is...."September 11: TheFrightening Fraud," which argues that no plane ever hit the Pentagon.
Please Pass This On, Let's not let history repeat itself, thank-you for your time and consideration.

write to the French embassy about your concern for the safety of Jews there.
