Through a Haaretz.com article on French Jewish singer, Shirel, who played the role of Esmeralda in the musical, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, there are glimpses into the dark world of anti-Semitism in France.I have no problem, from what I know, of establishing that these racist outcries are the product of Arab French louts. It is sad to see this kind of racism able to live and prosper in a democratic, enlightened country like France.
"Today, calling someone
`dirty Jew' is already part of
French slang. It's trendy there to
say that Jews are Nazis. It's very
difficult today to be a Jewish kid
in a French school. "
Only the French government can be blamed
for this, because if it had dealt
with the root of the problem,
perhaps the situation would be
different."
