Another Potted Plant in the Jewish Lobby
Aunt Agatha and I were talking just the other day about how anti-Semitism is unique, I believe, among paranoias, irrational hatreds, conspiracy theories, what have you, in that its libels and slanders recur unchanged, regardless of time and place. If all the blood of all the babies the Jews have been accused of siphoning off for their matzohs had actually been spilled, mankind would have died out long ago.
Here’s another “gold-en” oldie (get it?)—only the place is different.
Six days before President Nicolas Sarkozy’s state visit in Algiers, the Algerian veterans’ minister has kicked up a storm with remarks about France’s “Jewish lobby” being behind his election.
…
He also linked this to Sarkozy’s roots — the president’s maternal grandfather was Jewish. He declared: “Did you know that Israel released a postage stamp with Sarkozy’s effigy in the midst of the French electoral campaign?.”
He added: “Why did Bernard Kouchner (the current Foreign Minister), a personality from the Left, decide to join the government? Not for personal beliefs. It was the result of a movement which is reflecting the advice of the real architects of Sarkozy’s rise to power, the Jewish lobby which has the monopoly over industry in France.”
Now, you might think that line of thinking represents the mainstream in Algeria, and you’d probably be right. But the Algerian president did come upside the minister’s head, and told him to shut up.
Anyhow, I can think of one Jewish vote Sarkozy and his cabal did not get.
