You Cannot Speak On Behalf Of A Nation When You Have No Mandate To Do So.

You Must Either Suffer In This Life Or Give Up The Hope Of Seeing God In Heaven.

There Was No Reason To Label Us As Anti-semitic. No Reason At All. I Do Not Know One Person In The National Front Who Committed Even The Most Minor Hostile Act Against A Jewish Person Or Jewish Property. As For Me, Even Though I Have Been Accused Of Anti-semitism Countless Times, No One Has Ever Heard Me Make Anti-semitic Statements Or Engage In Anti-semitic Behavior. There Just Are People, Organizations, That Need An Adversary And They Want The Public To Believe That This Adversary Is Dangerous.

I Have No Idea What `classic Anti-semitism' Is. I'm Not Familiar With This Term. I Don't Know Where It Comes From And What Connection It Has To France And What Is Occurring Here. There Wasn't Anti-semitism In France. An Isolated Incident Can Always Happen. When Two Drivers Curse Each Other On The Road, And One Of Them Happens To Be A Jew, You Can't Define That As Anti-semitism. In Recent Years - Before The Intifada - There Were Three Or Four Incidents Of Anti-semitism A Year, And That's Out Of 18 Million Crimes And Violations Of The Law.
