sometimes i wonder.. there were probably other people killed in World War 2... maybe millions more... i don't see them clinging to this "victim" mentality throughout their life.. demanding concessions and considerations and squeezing every ounce of sympathy instead of getting up and moving along.

Getting up an moving on? Big news, they have! Look closer at today's 'victim' mentality and (Conspiracy Theory Central aside), it is the ummah who is struggling while blaming everything on everyone. If 6 million Muslims were put into concentration camps and human ovens, the woe-is-me tantrums regarding the overthrow of a Muslim-killing machine and subsequent attempt to democratize his country, would pale in comparison.
^ Amerikka occupying lands and causing wars is a reality of today not yesteryear!
If the united snakes gets lost from the middle east they will be not blamed for causing wars and occupying lands simple is'nt it or maybe not for some bigots in the west!
As for compensation culture for past grievences, no doubt if anyone has a case for compensation the muslim in muslim lands have a long list which one day will have to be paid in full!

France: Anti-Semitism is ‘a reality that we must combat’
By The Associated Press
PARIS - Anti-Semitism is a reality in France, the government spokesman said Tuesday, seeking to focus attention on a surge in hate crimes and away from doubt over an alleged attack on a mother and her infant.
Four days after a 23-year-old woman said she was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack that stunned France, police had no witnesses, few clues and media suggested the woman had a history of crying wolf.
Government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope assured that “light would be shed on this affair” once investigators had finished their work and reiterated calls for anyone with information to step forward.
Whether the woman’s account proved true or not, he said, has little bearing on France’s need to act against growing intolerance toward minorities and the violence that stems from it.
“The explosion of the number of racist and anti-Semitic acts committed in our country in the last few years is a reality that we must combat,” Cope said.
The Interior Ministry released figures last week showing that hate crimes had spiked in the first half of the year. There were 510 anti-Jewish acts or threats in the first six months of 2004 - nearly as many as in all of last year, 593.
Yeah back to the topic of likely fake claims of anti semitism
Police have found no evidence or witnesses, four days after the alleged assault took place on a train in the suburbs of Paris.
The 23-year-old woman said six men cut her clothes and drew swastikas on her body, accusing her of being Jewish.
It sparked widespread condemnation amid concern that racist and anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise in France.
Police are advising caution as their investigations continue, noting that there are some contradictions in the woman’s account.
**French media report that the young woman has filed several complaints in the past about being the victim of violence. **
More doubts of anti semitism attack
Hmmmmm
ak, if this one case is a hoax or not the level of Anti-Semitism has risen dramatically in France as of late.
Anyone see the resemblance to the Tawana Brawley case? This "incident" could very well be staged and faked by some patheticly lonely and sick young woman.
**A French woman who alleged she had been the subject of an anti-Semitic attack invented the story, police sources say. **
The alleged admission came shortly after the she was taken into custody - four days after the alleged assault on a train in the suburbs of Paris.
The 23-year-old woman said six men cut her clothes and drew swastikas on her body, accusing her of being Jewish.
The woman has been detained for falsely reporting a crime, state prosecutor Xavier Salvat told AFP news agency.
Now unnamed police sources say she has admitted drawing the swastikas with the help of her boyfriend who is also in custody
She could face up to six months in prison and a 7,500-euro ($9,200) fine if convicted.
sad pathetic and lying for the jewish cause!
Brothert ak, she's not Jewish. It's likely she has some type of mental disorder, lets pray for her.
^ i did'nt say she was jewish i said she was lying for the jewish cause!
Were all these fakes too?
"The Interior Ministry released figures last week showing that hate crimes had spiked in the first half of the year. There were 510 anti-Jewish acts or threats in the first six months of 2004 - nearly as many as in all of last year, 593."
^ you guys are a joke mess up on one issue and pull a rabbit out of a hat and say something else!
If you really want to deal with anti semitism then get rid of the zionist state they most anti semitic people in existence seen how they treat palestinians!

More than likely she was just USING the jewish cause to advance her own deranged cause. When Tawana Brawley claimed that she had been abducted and raped by six white cops, smeared with feces and had racial insults scrawled on her body, she was not advancing the "black cause" in the US. She was using it. She got all the black civil rights leaders on her side (including recent presidential candidate
Al Sharpton) and had her moment of fame.
False claims like these generally harm the credibility and cause they initially appear to advance. The people perpetrating the hoax do it for themselves rather than the cause.

France as a whole isn't a fan of 'outsiders'. Before becoming President, Chirac called 'France for the French only', and felt sorry for those who had to live with 'the noise and smell coming out of the houses of immigrants.'"

Having lived in Quebec for the last 30 years, I can't help but agree with you. English have got nothing over French when it comes to xenophobia.
Court convicts woman for fabricating anti-Semitic attack
well so much for youths with a ‘North African appearance’.
Good!! that is how democracies and truthful societies work. A lesson to be learned by the muslim world rife with conspiracy theories and blame displacement. :k:
This is what she said on public tv
"I offer my apologies to the president ... and people who demonstrated their support for my lie," she said on France-3 television last weekend, with her back to the camera. "I regret this act and I ask for forgiveness to those I deceived and hurt."
And here is her reason for blaming the fictional youths of Arab/African origin...
Asked by a civil party's lawyer why she had blamed the invented attack on youths of Arab or African origin, Leblanc said: "When I watch TV, they're always the ones who get blamed."
Just goes to show how deep the stereotypes run. If anyone, she should have apologized to the Arab and African communities for her lies.
^ Do they get blamed because they are usually the ones who did it or do a lot of French people make up stories and blame Arab/Africans? Where I live, African Americans are arrested in 80% of robbery cases. If some bozo were to make up a story about a robbery, would it be stereotyping or just making the story more believable if they said an African American was responsible?
So you saying you agree to stereotyping? Yes or No?
Here's another stereotype for you to ponder. Most child molestors are white males. And vice versa. Go figure.
If someone made up a story about a child molestation, he would probably say it was a white male. Does that mean he thinks all white males are child molestors? No, he probably saw on TV that they're always the ones who get blamed.
