#2 Instapundit has a link to more on this story by an Israeli blogger. An interesting bit she dropped was, "I heard about it several days ago, only because my in-laws are French, and the affair has understandably shaken the French Jewish community to the core. We had a large wave of French Jews immigrating to Israel last summer. Something tells me that this summer we're going to have another one."

I'm very happy to see the Jews of France aren't as head-in-the-sand as we'd feared.

#3 Thinking further, it will be interesting to see how the Rothschilds respond to all this. A goodly portion of them converted to Catholicism at one time or another, I understand, but the family still retains strong ties to Judaism and even Israel -- I think they sponsor a kosher winery there, amongst other endeavors (long before Zionism the family supported colonies of scholars in Hebron and such).

#4 If the upshot is all those dirtly little people go back to their sh!++y little country, the French would not be at all averse to letting the muzzies take ~~credit~~ the blame for it. Then they crack down on the muzzies. Sort of. If they ever do it to a real Frenchman.

#6 Based on NS' history of commenting here, I think he was being sarcastic, i.e. writing what he thinks many French secretly feel.

#8 Trailing Wife, you said:

"I'm very happy to see the Jews of France aren't as head-in-the-sand as we'd feared."

It's not the French Jews who are head-in-the-sand about Muslims. It's the French people.

#9 Per Trailing Wife:

"I'm very happy to see the Jews of France aren't as head-in-the-sand as we'd feared."

Reminds me of an old joke..

A preacher made his way one Sunday to dinner as a guest of an old farmer who didnt get out to church much anymore. The farmer and his brood welcomed the preacher and he took his seat next to the farmer at the table. The familys old hound, Dog, sat beneath the table, near his master as always.

Shortly after the soup was served an awful smell permeated the room. No sound, just the horrid smell. The farmer eyes shot down beneath the table. Dog, he said sternly. The Preacher muttered no harm done. It was passing the potatoes that that the farmer froze, having encountered a wall of putrid, eye-tearing fumes of hell bad smell. His family froze as well. The farmer sat, leaned beneath the table and hissed, Dog. The Preacher leaned over and touched the Farmer on the shoulder. No harm done, he soothed.

The gravy for the mashed potatoes had just been placed before the Farmer, when the smell came once again, a silent tsunami of sulpher and rotting meat. The farmer coughed, glanced at the Preacher and pushed back his chair. Leaning under the table, he commanded, Dog. Get the hell out from under there before the Preacher damn suffocates you.

It may be wise for the Jews of France to seek other countries for haven for a while.
