One mo thing. Apparently, the French ambassador to England was overheard at a party saying that all the problems in the world today was the fault of "of 'that shitty little country Israel." He then went on to say "Why should the world be put in danger because of those people?." He is now in a tiny bit of trouble.

Found this great comment from a columnist (Mathew Norman) in the British paper, the Guardian. I think this best sums it up:
"We will not, therefore, be observing (having offered all respect and indeed adoration to the resistance) that, if France had one iota of the fighting spirit of "that shitty little country Israel", it might have lasted more than a fortnight in the last war. Nor will we be raising Drancy, the concentration camp run by the Parisian police in the name of Vichy, in which conditions were so unspeakable that the Germans themselves were shocked into closing it."

But, I will add, as my comment, this little joke: Why are there trees lining the Champs D'Elysee? To give the occupying army some shade as they march down it.
