Dear Editor,
J’accuse – 2006
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the anti-Semitic stain on the French Republic known to the world as the Alfred Dreyfus Affair, it would seem that the current neo-Vichy government in Paris has once again shown its blatant contempt for anyone connected to the Jewish people by stepping back from co-sponsoring its own UN resolution that would have possibly put an end to the terrorism that continues to threaten the people to which Dreyfus belonged. Thus, once again, the French have clearly demonstrated that in addition to the tricolors of which they are so proud, there is a fourth color, a brilliant shade of yellow, to be streaked across their own red, white, and blue.
France rolled over and offered herself to the Nazis, and in so doing, allowed her Jewish citizens to be rounded up and murdered in the death camps. She did this so the Germans would not attack or lay waste to Paris. Jews in exchange for art and architecture. An easy choice for Clemenceau and his minions. Since then, her Arabist bias towards Israel from 1948 to the present has added stain after stain to her soiled petticoats with each anti-Israel resolution in the UN.
Her current indecency has her backing off her own resolution to send a NATO force into Lebanon and establish stability so the fighting might end. But her Arab friends did not like that idea, so France did what France is good at doing– appeasing and acquiescing out of fear of her standing in the Arab world. France’s actions once again shamefully place her in the same company as terrorist dictatorships, totalitarian states, and anti-Semitic regimes who applaud her choice to once again stand against the United States and Israel.
Did the Arab League threaten to send in a squad of men who would pee on the streets of Paris instead of in the pissoir? Did they threaten a boycott of crepes? Was that all it took for France to back off? Or was it the same endemic, pervasive, and institutionalized anti-Semitism that has always festered in her body politic before and since the Dreyfus Affair?
Emile Zola is turning over in his grave.
Sincerely,
Leonard H. Berman
