31. French poll
Dana ,   NY, NY, USA   (01.25.13)
In other words, nearly half of the French are anti-Semitic. I knew anti-Semitism was common there, but this is shocking - or it should be. How can the French believe in their vaunted, supposedly democratic values and also feel this way? Don't they understand their hypocrisy? What a deplorable country.
32. And what of Sarkozy?
zelig ,   memphis u.s.a.   (01.25.13)
It looks like former President Sarkozy and his dyn-o-mite wife are planning to jump ship,too.I suppose it is his Jewish blood and not his disgust for confiscatory taxes that's the REAL problem!
33. not much time left....
leslie ,   canada   (01.25.13)
I know 80% of the 40% is the muslim population, but I am still shocked that there are jewish population in francistan....
34. no jew has ever stated this
al-kafir al-yahudi ,   usa   (01.25.13)
No Jew has ever said he is more loyal to Israel than to his host country. This is a faulty perception, because the euros simply hate Jews. However, how many muslims in Europe OPENLY state that they want to convert their host countries to Shariah? And why does no one care about that?
35. Let the French Jews come to the US
Seth Lewin ,   Boston, USA   (01.25.13)
Given the way things are going in Israel with the Haredim running the rabbinate and making non-Haredim jump through hoops to exercise their civil rights (such as marriage) I suggest any non-Haredi Jews wishing to leave France consider immigrating to either the US or Canada where they'll be both safe and free to live as Jews without having their Jewishness called into questions by Haredi extremist rabbis.
36. Very true,Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the country
Sami ,   Lebanon   (01.25.13)

39. Unhappy France
SteveR   (01.25.13)
Too powerful simply means too successful. The only people who complain about the success of others are those who are bitter with their lot in life. France must have a great many unhappy people at the moment. Looking at the EU unemployment rate, no surprise. Moreover, the rise in classic antisemitism will simply match the rise in the Muslim population of France. As they increase, the antisemitism will increase. Of course, as the Jews leave France that antisemitism will be turned to anti -Christian sentiment or even anti-secularism and then it will simply turn into an anti-France sentiment completely. The country is changing and for the worse. Not too late for the genius of France to reawaken but it is getting close.
40. Allo, Vichy?
ASTRONAUT ,   ME, USA   (01.25.13)
Nazis devoured France with the help of the Vichy "government."
41. The same crap is happening in Quebec...
Al   (01.25.13)
The vile Pequists are one and all anti-semites. Who is coming to Quebec today? Haitians and Arabs...hahaha...good luck with that one. Jewish population in Quebec is getting smaller and smaller. More Jews today in nursing homes and over 65 than there are Jewish kids under 20. We do get Russians who spend time in Israel and of course Philipinas who were in Israel as well. How do you say Bubble Tea in Hebrew? I would like to know.
42. #10 Chaim: Its not left. Its not right. Its hatred!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (01.25.13)
Since when have the Europeans, East, West and Center needed an excuse to hate Jews? The answer: Go and ask 6,000,000 Jews murdered by the Nazis. Ask the victims of the Pogroms under the Czar and the Stalin. Ask the Jews of Britain to look back at the hatred of Jews in England and the UK and ask the Spanish and the Portuguese Jews about the Inquisition! Its go nothing to do with Israel, Netanyahu, the right or or the lefts. Its just plain Antisemitism and its been this way for thousands of years!
43. @28 100% agree !! we will be loyal to france but
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (01.25.13)

anton ,   istanbul   (01.25.13)

46. Asking the WORLD ZIONIST ORGANISATION
desi ,   montreuil   (01.25.13)
to make a poll about antisemitism s like taking Jack the Ripper as your gynecologist...
47. notice to all in Israel under 50
ADAM ,   CHICAGO   (01.25.13)
40% of most nations in the world have always felt this way wake up
48. brothers, leave while you can
ari ben canaan ,   planet reason   (01.26.13)
To all the Yehudim in France (listen up if you live anywhere else in Europe): Come home to Israel or live safely in North America. We aren't welcome in Europe, and we simply don't belong. It's like a WASPY country club armed with fangs. Europe has history and culture, and believe me, it's nice to visit once in a while. But we can't live there anymore. History has taught us that much. We owe the barbarians absolutely nothing! To those who don't want to abandon their host state, I recommend you arm yourselves immediately. Stay safe. Start a European JDL.
49. #42. Jew haters couldn't hurt us without Jewish help.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.26.13)
This is a very painful issue but we have to address it. I speak of the issue of Jewish collaboration with our enemies. It happened during the Holocaust and it is happening in Israel today. Some of the collaboration is evil. Some of it is plain foolish. There was a tremendous amount of Jewish collaboration with Nazis; mostly unintentional. Not only did European Jewish leaders forbid Jews from using force against the Nazis till it was too late to stop them. They destroyed Zev Jabotinsky when he warned Jews to flee Europe and arm themselves. Yet American and British Jews succeeded in stopping Nazi uprisings in their nations by using force against them. Today we see massive Jewish collaboration, most among leftists, with "Palestinians" who openly declare their intention of mass murdering Jews and driving us from our sole tiny Homeland. Jewish collaboration with Jew haters is a very painful issue but we must discuss it and, most importantly, end it.
50. #4. Who cares about those who want 9 mile waist for Israel?
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.26.13)
Anyone who wants to steal Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from Israel and trim Israel's waist to 9 miles, as the basis for "peace", is a fool, a Jew hater or both. Why worry about the opinion of such creatures? Why try to impress them?
51. To nr 30 - Ferdinand you are missing the point
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.26.13)
Judging by your talkbacks you seem to be a Jew, a Zionist and an Israeli patriot - Kol Hakavod. I will neither question your Jewish identity nor your loyalty to Israel - nor will I question your moral character. You seem to be a decent guy. You have stated your case - I fully understand what you are trying to say - I too think it's wrong to claim that a whole nation is anti-Semitic, but your claim that Mahlon Drungoole "is as bad" as the anti-Semites is what is REALLY disgusting about your statement Ferdinand. You don't seem to get it. Jews REACTING with anger to anti-Semitism (racist genocidal hatred of Jews) cannot morally by any yardstick be compared to the actual evil and racism of anti-Semitism. You cannot equate anti-Semitism with opposition to anti-Semitism. There is a moral difference between racism and genuine indignation over racist ideologies and racist sentiments. Second, nowhere did Mahlon Drumgoole ever suggest that French people are genetically or racially "inferor". Racism my friend means in plain and simple English that you ascribe AN ENTIRE ETHNIC/NATIONAL/CULTURAL/RACIAL group of people negative traits collectively speaking. Mahlon didn't do that - he was pointing out - factually, the actual and very real Jew hatred in France. Last, but certainly not least, 40% of the French cannot possibly be defined by any standard or yardstick as "some people". 40% is a huge percentage. I too perceive the French collectively as being anti-Semites - i.e. I'm attacking their racist hostile ideas/opinions against Jews - not their French/gentile/Catholic identity. I understand what you are trying to say - the few cannot represent the many - true - but 40% of the French are not so "few".
52. Anti semitism?
(01.26.13)
And how is called this hatred towards French people and France?
53. If France loves so much the Arabs
(01.26.13)
Then how come Israel always claim French are antisemites?
54. #20 Dan. Not a rational word in your post.
Chaim   (01.26.13)
#20 Dan. People like you use puerile insults because they are incapable of supporting their arguments rationally. There is not a rational word in your post.
55. No25

You live in Lodz . What is it you are saying ? Say it in Polish and then we maybe understand. r birg
56. Jealousy and Jaundice !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.26.13)
I Quote - French poll: 40% say Jews too powerful in business Comment - It was the Bougoise in France, who through the Frence Revolution, rised Imperialistic Capitalism and comerse up. And now they has become like Kain agains Abel. Nothing new under the Sun.
57. Al, Buzz ! You are so wrong...
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (01.26.13)
The Quebecers have nothing against jews. The PQ government is formally civil and does not like religious school. You can learn, on the Huffington Post Québec (26 januar 2013), that the Lower-Canada(former name of the province of Québec) was the first region of the british Commenwealth to grant the full rights to the Jews. Six years before the Great Britain did... P.S. Don't mix up everything.
58. Here we go again ,...
split ,   US   (01.26.13)
Whenever this subject is mentioned the first reaction of Jewish goons is “you are anti Semite” which discourages those aware of their pinhead 'not an inch' mentality and an open minded participants looking for an open discussion in effort to get to the bottom of it - According to pinheads there's no tribal solidarity in France or anywhere, no Jewish nepotism, dishonest business practices, corruption, there're no Jewish con-artists or neo-cons and of course no schnorrers abusing the system in self-imposed ghettos that's all it's there is the tribe of patriotic angels against the hateful baseless accusers whom must to be destroyed at any cost including acumulating hate and future backlash ,...
59. 13. if jews control the media why they are so anti-israeli ?
split ,   US   (01.26.13)
Give us an example where some goyim schmock that criticised the Jews and got away with it and I give you a couple of dozens for one that didn't ,... If they don't control it than tell me why can't I buy a printed English version of Solzhenitsyn's masterpiece "200 years together" a best-seller in Russia, France and Germany, despite that he's the most respected and trustworthy author/historian in 20century (if not ever) awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature for his monumental and indispesable contribution to historical literature until he wrote published (in Russian) a book about 200 years of Russian-Jewish relations? ,... How loyal and patriotic they are you can check by comparing their population with their representation in armed forces. After you done do it again comparing their proportion in Armed Forces with their representation in all branches of government and let the numbers speak for themselves ,...
60. No one has the right to 'hate' Jews...
Edithann ,   USA   (01.26.13)
But Jews have the right to 'hate' all non Jews...it's Toarah/Talmudic...'' TATA
