#1 Something that nobody has mentioned, is that it is rare that Jews have been so oppressed they turn to terrorism. But if one or more Euro governments take the side of Moslems against the Jews, they might create a terrorist nightmare 100 times worse than anything the Moslems might do.

Granted, most of the terrorism would be directed at the Moslems...

But, as the expression goes, they ain't seen nothing yet.

#3 Translation is quite correct (yup, they were helmeted, full motorbike helmet is a staple of organized street demonstraters here, as they both conceal identity and protect), your french must certainly be better than my own broken english.

#4 The French non-muslims should read carefully the truthful account of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, and ponder. You don't want to get the Jews that stirred up again, even the ones in Israel. Nations could disappear if things get too far out of hand. While the Jews don't go out of their way to pick a fight, if you hound them enough, they will turn like a pack of rabid wolves. What happens after that isn't pretty for anybody.

#5 There are about 500,000 Jews in France. Somewhat over half are Sephardic Jews, who fled North Africa after 1948. While they are generally of more Gallicized background than those who went from North Africa to Israel, they are still strong in their identiy and relatively "tough" IIUC. Most of the Ashkenazic (European background) Jews in France are highly assimilated, and I doubt anyone is particularly scared of them. Of course since they are wealthier, its easier for them to avoid muslim and other immigrant areas than it is for the sephardim.

#6 Nimble Spemble asks the musical question:
King David Hotel?
which I assume is in reply to Anonymoose's assertion that:
...it is rare that Jews have been so oppressed they turn to terrorism.

He said it was rare, not unknown. You know, it's pretty funny, whenever people mention Arab terrorism, there's always some joker who pipes up with "King David Hotel!"

What about the Sbarro bombing?
King David Hotel!
And the Seder?
King David Hotel!
Disco?
King David Hotel!
Grocery store?
King David Hotel!
Any number of buses?
King David Hotel!

I'll let someone else handle the Baruch Goldstein version of this classic routine.

#8 What happens after that isn't pretty for anybody.

Yep. Bible's full of examples of what can happen next. Not pretty.

#9 My dad firmly believes the Jews are God's chosen people.

Every civilization which has gone up against them is either a footnote in history or dying like Germany/Europe.
