That's the problem with the speech - the large majority of what she had to say was worthwhile. Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 01:15:39 PM
And had nothing to do with the US besides, the speech is about the Dreyfus affair and anti-semitism. As I already said in my initial reply, it's a shame that she throws in a few ignorant comments on American politics that put off American readers. There's another one later in the speech that would piss you off even more, I'm fairly sure, considering that it pissed me off and I'm not even American, much less a Republican.

Still, the speech as a whole is worth listening to or reading, particularly since you seem to be interested in matters of European anti-semitism. :P Just ignore every mention of the US.

Purim may or may not refer to a historic event. Even if it does, Haman was not likely an Arab. - 07/06/2010 12:00:05 AM 825 Views
I second your main point. - 07/06/2010 12:09:42 AM 864 Views
I don't discount that there is Arab blood in many or even most "Arabs". - 07/06/2010 12:18:32 AM 825 Views
