PARIS (Reuters) - A new wave of anti-Semitism in France is an extremely worrying phenomenon that poses a threat to the fabric of French society, according to a government report published Tuesday.
It said anti-Semitism in France was not restricted to people of Arab origin, Muslims and the far right, and proposed keeping a closer watch on racism in the media and schools and creating a national watchdog to monitor anti-Semitism.
"The new wave of anti-Semitic acts in the last few years is undeniable. The threats and violence against French Jews are an obvious, new and extremely worrying social factor," said the 50-page report, drawn up by writer Jean-Christophe Rufin.
"Anti-Semitism and racism are not marginal subjects, even less so are they communal matters -- they are at the heart of the evolution of our society," he said.
"The fate of liberty and equality are being played out today on the field of fraternity," he added, alluding to the three values espoused by the French revolution in 1789 and cherished by France since then.
Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin hailed the report, which he had ordered, as a sign of France's determination to crack down on anti-Semitism.
But he acknowledged racist and anti-Semitic crimes had risen in the first nine months of 2004 -- even though the rate had fallen in the third quarter -- with 123 racist acts and 166 anti-Semitic acts reported.

Londo,
[QUOTE][A government report said] anti-Semitism in France was not restricted to people of Arab origin, Muslims and the far right, and proposed keeping a closer watch on racism in the media and schools and creating a national watchdog to monitor anti-Semitism.[/QUOTE] Nothing to worry about here in terms of monitoring. They can save a lot of euros by simply allowing Tom Lantos and his newest creation in the State Dept. to keep track of all these acts.

Why are the jews always picking on France and making French leaders grovel!?! I'll tell you, I think that France and the French are way more in the know than Americans will ever be with regards to God's Pets and their Village in the Middle East. The French are exhibiting healthy feelings towards their enemies. Hey can I still say that?? You know, the New Ministry of Anti-Semitic Thought Prosecution.....

Anyone will do to you only what you allowed them to do to you, if the Jews are "picking" on France is only because France allowed them to do so.
If France and the rest of the world were to tell the Jews NO MORE then that would be the end of it, no matter how much money or influence the Jews do have there are more "goys" than Jews.
The Jews (Zionists) have stopped harassing me because of my anti-Zionist sign in my front yard and the sign that I use in town, now they only give me the national Jewish salute,,,,,,, the middle finger.

But nothing, nowhere near as expert as our Zionist-in-Chiefs have been in the US of A. Here in the US of Kwa, the politicians have a government issued pair of knee pads and are trained by AIPAC on the art of swallowing as well.

Oh just some slang I picked up from VNN that I do find very funny.
They call the US "Amerikwa" or "the 'kwa".
