<One of the major problems the jews in France have - is that they are almost all leftists (as most in France are) and they do not realize that the left is far more intolerant, far-more hate filled than the right ever was.

Absolutely ridiculous......The extreme right people are the intolerant ones. It's among leftists that most intellectuals are found (those who argue, discuss, debate, often interrupt each othet, but are at least constructive). That's precisely why so many jews ARE from the left! A french jew who would want to leave for Israel (there are, I 've seen their interviews in Israel) are so deeply committed with their faith they want to settle in the occupied territories because "God wants them to"
More:
There is a disagreement among jews themselves about what goes on in the Middle-East. That at least IS constructive.
I wonder if there are disagreements among jews in the USA too.
