France's New Surrender

Submitted by Marie, Apr 12, 2007 15:41

To start with, one has to wonder why you work at France 24 if you find its policy choices so objectionable. But I suppose you are doing it out of the purity of your heart and because criticism is always constructive, not because you're bitter to get your paycheck from people you obviously hate.
I also would like to know in which world websites/newspapers/TV channels/... don't get racistic and xenophobic hate mail. What on Earth makes you think that France 24 gets more of that than CNN, MSNBC or Al Jazeera?
Also, could you back up your assertion that the French are antisemitic with hard numbers, not with a couple of (albeit tragic) anecdoctes, in which the culprits are what every Frenchman would qualify as disturbed freaks? I've lived in France for 25 years, and I've never noticed any even remotely antisemitic feeling in the people I talked to. Weirdly enough, I had to travel to the US to find people who think that the media is run by Jews and other falsehoods.May I also remind you that of all the countries that were invaded by the Nazis during WW2, the French were among those who sent the least Jews to the camps?
Finally, what on Earth is wrong with exchanging works of art with Abu Dhabi? If you actually went out and talked to French people, you would know that most of them think that talking to people from other cultures and countries (even those who don't have elections and equal rights for men and women) is a good thing. It avoids accidents like, say, starting a war with out of date information without realizing that you're rekindling old grudges between the three different ethnicities in the country (oopsidaisy!).
