Re: Saturday Night Live on France

i don't even think this needs any comment but all I wanted to say is that i'm french and that in my opinion you people are deluded or hopelessly paranoïd
(which is understandable but nevertheless dangerous).
I don't want to disappoint you but i'm afraid the antisemitism you accuse french people of has no reality whatsoever in every-day life.
I know that antisemitism was very virulent in the 19th century and up to the middle of the 20th century but to my generation(i'm 19)antisemitism doesn't mean anything at all....I mean, racist feelings or commentaries are generally aimed at black people or arab/muslim people(who are numerous in France)but never...jewish people(at least as far as my generation is concerned)that's preposterous,I can assure you.
I know the french public opinion and goverment's views on the middle-east conflict clashe with those of the american government but in that case we could very well accuse you of racism against palestinian and more generally agaisnt arabic people.
I still believe that Judaism(as a religion shared by people all over the world) and Israël(as a state with a territory to defend and conquer) are two distinct things.....
these kind of reaction worries me as the west should'nt bog down in a opposition/war logic....otherwise I don't see how things could possibly get better in the middle east and in the world.
I hope that didn't sound too arrogant......
peace&love
