Amid the most recent resurgence of anti-Semitism, France's "top rabbi" issues a warning -

French rabbi: Wear baseball caps, not skullcaps, in public

By Haaretz Service

The Chief Rabbi of France, Rabbi Joseph Sitruk,

called on that country's Jewish community to wear

baseball caps instead of skullcaps while not in

their homes, in order "to prevent being attacked

in the street." Daily newspaper Le Parisien

reported in its Wednesday edition that Sitruk made

the comments Tuesday in an interview on Radio

Shalom, a Jewish community radio station.

Rabbi Sitruk's comments came

three days after a Jewish

school on the outskirts of

Paris was the subject of an

anti-Semitic arson attack. "I

do not want young people

traveling alone on trains or

the Metro to become easy

targets for attackers," he

said. "Covering one's head is

an important religious dictate, which should

not be overlooked. On the contrary, today, more

than ever, the Jewish community cannot shut

itself off in a ghetto; it should be open, at

ease and safe."

Speaking Wednesday to Haaretz, a close aide to

the rabbi tried to play down the controversial

comments. "The Chief Rabbi has always said that

head covering is an important commandment, and

that the covering itself is not important. In

the current climate, there is no point waving a

red rag in public places."

Synagogues and Jewish schools in France have

been attacked repeatedly in recent years,

violence authorities link to poor Muslim youths

enraged by Israel's tough policies against

Palestinian unrest.

Jean Marie Le Pen and his followers are NOT muslim.

(Le Pen, far right = 2nd. place in the pre-elections for the Franch presidency!!!!!)

That's really utter nonsense and making news fit the desired mood.

.... are you saying that the Zionist-influenced shadow-government that controls US politics is willing to initiate a 3rd World War to defend Jewish interests? Do you think that the rise of anti-semitism across the globe (its not just in Europe) and the recent intensification of the murderous policies that the Israeli government has implemented since 1967 is a mere coincidence? And don't give me that bullshit that stealing land from Palestinian farmers is an act of self-defence. This victim-playing role that the Zionists have perfected is now back-firing, Larree, and you're going to have to change tactics. Intelligent Jews who I know understand this. Others don't.
