Could Anti-Semitism in France be caused by RW'ers?
Edited on Sat Dec-24-05 05:16 PM by ck4829
There has been a wave of Anti-Semitic Incidents in France in recent years.

People are quick to blame Muslim Immigrants for it, but there is more than meets the eye.

Time to read up on a little history everyone.

1. I think you're underestimating the IQ level on this forum a little.
Anyone with even slight knowledge of France knows who LePen is and would not find right-wing anti-semitism to be odd or unusual. (Though I note they are not exactly thrilled with Moslems either)

2. Hmmmm..... on a similar note, who knew that Henry Ford was
so fond of Hitler.... perhaps before he went over the deep end.....

>>> From Who Financed Hitler: The Secret Funding of Hitler's Rise to Power 1919-1933 by James Pool and Suzanne Pool (The Dial Press, 1978), pp 111, 129:

"That Henry Ford, the famous automobile manufacturer gave money to the National Socialists directly or indirectly has never been disputed," said Konrad Heiden, one of the first biographers of Hitler.<87> Novelist Upton Sinclair wrote in The Flivver King, a book about Ford, that the Nazis got forty-thousand dollars from Ford to reprint anti-Jewish pamphlets in German translations, and that an additional $300,00 was later sent to Hitler through a grandson of the ex-Kaiser who acted as an intermediary.<88> The US Ambassador to Germany, William E. Dodd, said in an interview that "certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy."<89> At the time of Dodd's criticisms, the general public was aware that he was speaking of Ford because the press made a direct association between Dodd's statements and other reports of Ford's anti-Semitism.
