I Have No Idea What `classic Anti-semitism' Is. I'm Not Familiar With This Term. I Don't Know Where It Comes From And What Connection It Has To France And What Is Occurring Here. There Wasn't Anti-semitism In France. An Isolated Incident Can Always Happen. When Two Drivers Curse Each Other On The Road, And One Of Them Happens To Be A Jew, You Can't Define That As Anti-semitism. In Recent Years - Before The Intifada - There Were Three Or Four Incidents Of Anti-semitism A Year, And That's Out Of 18 Million Crimes And Violations Of The Law.

In France, At Least The German Occupation Was Not Especially Inhumane, Even If There Were A Number Of Excesses - Inevitable In A Country Of 550,000 Square Kilometres... If The Germans Had Carried Out Mass Executions Across The Country As The Received Wisdom Would Have It, Then There Wouldn't Have Been Any Need For Concentration Camps For Political Deportees.

When You Write A Two Thousand Page History Of The Second World War, The Deportations And The Concentration Camps Will Take Up Five Pages, And The Gas Chambers Perhaps 20 Lines.

Im Always Suspicious Of People Who Repent Of Other Peoples Sins.
