Mon dieu, your tb brings back such memories. I saw Johnny Ray at the Olympia, ditto Edith Piaf and Charles Trenet. Maybe Jacques Brel's "Ca va, (le diable)" is so fitting for today. Oh, and I still remember the words to Eddie Constantine's "L'homme et l'enfant," a real tearjerker. Too bad that whole country has turned into nothing more than so much merde.

33. #31 The victim was too busy
getting her head smashed in to ask her attackers which country they were from. They had masks because they were walking down the street looking for Jews to beat up. They chose her just because she was wearing a Star of David necklace. She must have guessed they were "Africans" by their French accent while they were yelling "sale juive" ("dirty Jew") at her. Her father chased them down the street and also got a good look at them. One of the attackers is now in custody. Since it is so important to you, querido Juan, I'm sure you will soon find out which antisemitic African country he comes from. Whether he's Algerian or Moroccan doesn't make any difference. These racist hate crimes against French Jews are being perpetrated by Muslims - from Africa.

34. Shame, but this does not only happen in France/Paris
Even in Israel as some of us pointed out antisemitic violence is there. Fleeing away is a temporary solution and a way of giving in to violence and give victory in the hands of antisemitic bigots. Paris is a lovely city by the way. And I've only encountered warm-hearted French people (really :) ). It's a shame that things like this happen, but as I said before: it's not only happening in France. It's everywhere. And I believe that currently the situation in e.g. GB is much worse for Jews than France is.

35. Attacks on Jewish Women
When will all this madness stop. What is it about we Jews that makes almost the entire world hate us. Nothing that I can see. As a rule, Jews are peace loving citizens. Why would 2 men of African descent attack an innocent woman? Why did others break that innocent man's leg? Jews have to start procreating more or our heritage and religion will die out. There are only about 14-15 million of us in the world. We need to remain and educate the haters.

The white flag was complemented by vaseline.

You are as illogical as the typical Israeli. What do you mean Jews are protected in Israel???? The army of Israel expels Jews from their homes! Rockets fall on Sderot and the government does nothing! Are you blind to reality??? Israel ONCE was a country where Jews defended themselves...this is NOT the case today nor has it been the case for years...wake up and smell the chumus.

Why? Because although it is not said, most likely these men were practioners of the "religion of peace." This mentality is not compatable with the civilized world. It never has been. It never will be. And no amount of education will change that. The best answer (perhaps the only one) is for all other faiths to take a stand.

Speaking of vasoline, which, of course, we weren't......... Fred and Mary got married, but can't afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred's parents' home for their first night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his Mom if Fred and Mary are up yet. She replies, "No". Johnny asks, "Do you know what I think?" His mom replies, "I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to school." Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, "Are Fred and Mary up yet?" She replies, "No." Johnny says, "Do you know what I think?" His mom replies, "Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school." After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, "Are Fred and Mary up yet?" His mom says, "No." He asks, "Do you know what I think?" His Mom, her patiece having worn out, replies, "Ok, do tell me what you think!" He says: "Last night, Fred came to my room and asked for the Vaseline and I gave him my airplane super glue by mistake."

How did I get to Atlanta? That's one long story, but let's just say I got lucky :-) I'm originally from Saarbruecken, Germany. After my mom died, I lived for a year with my much older sister in Valenton, S&O, outside of Paris, where I, of course, went to school, too. She had married a Frenchman, while at the U of Poitiers after the war. There isn't a metro stop I missed in Paris, and though I spent every afternoon in the Louvre for 3 weeks, I never did see all of it. That sister had 6 kids, and as a reward for not killing one or the other of the little brats, but taking them every day to the Plage Bleue outside of Valenton during vacances, I was rewarded with trips to the Olympia. One afternoon, I came home from the Plage Bleue on a Vespa, packed with three happily screaming kids, hanging on for dear life and which Vespa I mistakenly thought some sailor had given to me for dancing the Pasodoble with him for 3 hours non-stop, Although said sailor, looking for his Vespa for a week and finally finding it, admitted to the police that he had made it available to me without restrictions, my sister concluded that France, maybe, was not the place for me. So, I went back to finish school in Germany. When I decided to be an archaeologist and instead heard rumbles from my guardian of British Girls' schools that would teach me how to be a proper lady, I took things into my own hands, had myself legally declared of age and went to check out the University of Munich where I, already, had some friendsl. That's where I met my future husband, a US Marine attached to the US legation there, and the rest, as they say, is history. That cute devil made me forgot all about old bones :-) Although he was from Birmingham, Alabama, the companies for which we worked transferred us to Atlanta, and here I am. This'll teach you to ask me a simple question, and I will not admit to a thing about that Vespa business. After all, my French was only as good as it needed to be :-)

43. Paris and Europe
While living in my birth town , i heard two elderly , non Jewish women talk . They lived in a neigborhood where Jews lived before WWII , and now populated by mediterranean immigrants . What did one of them say : At least , the Jews , we had'nt to fear them . That says it . Now they are intoxicated by anti Israeli propaganda , and not coming to attack us here , they do it against Jews in western Europe .
