Google Alfred Dreyfus

Done. Seems he was exonnerated?

Eventually yeah,but the story tells of a country with a large anti semetic element,there was also a sizeable element who actively helped the nazis or turned a blind eye to what was happening right in their midst in drancy.

Thanks. Everyday is a school day.

Can someone educate me. Why is there a strong anti Jewish movement in France?

Always has been since the Middle Ages but the most recent problems are due to the sort of element responsible for today's events, of who there are a lot in France due to their historic ties with Algeria.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to be just Muslims with the issue as far as I can tell.

Next question then. Is the specific hatred for Jews from Muslims largely down to Israel?

It isn't just Muslims. France was one of the earliest places in Western Europe that Jews settled following the Roman revolt of 79AD. There were massacres in places like Rouen years before the battle of Hastings. There have been a few times when they've been better off, mainly under Napoleon, but not that often. I think it's fair to say that Israel has been a focus more recently but they hust hate Jews full stop.

During WW2 the anti-jewish movement in Vichy France was a rather large movement. In that thousands of Jews enthusiastically rounded up by the Vichy French police were moved to concentration camps in Germany or Poland.

Not just France, England has had it's fair share of Jewish persecution over the last thousand years, i think Kings of England have robbed and expelled them then let them back in only to expel them again about 5 times, and i mean the whole Jewish population not just thousands

Pretty much every European country has at some stage, those who are different are always an easy target.

Yes,can't remeber which king but they were all put on ships and turfed off on to sandbanks in the channel at low tide,it's unfortunate that anti semitism has spanned many countries,and from christians and muslims,though there were large jewish sections in muslim countries who lived happily with muslims without trying to kill each other,for all that saddam hussein was a murderous bastard other religions were tolerated and were even part of govt,doesn't pay to generalise that all muslims would see all jews annihilated or vice versa.

Eventually, after many years. But there's also a City connection. One of his cousins, Charles Dreyfus, set up Clayton Aniline, where the CFA now stands. He was also the man who introduced Chaim Weizmann to Arthur Balfour,a meeting that played a huge part in the eventual founding of the state of Israel.

Right - cleaned up and offenders dealt with but if this goes the same way again that will be it. Stick to the subject and avoid giving gratuitous offence to others.

TBF , I agreed with your rant in the Bony thread before it was cleaned up.


Did you clean yourself or was it done for you ?

I cleaned up mine because it quoted a post that a few mods agreed was offensive and had crossed the line.
