Moving Day

So Ariel Sharon made a speech today in which he called on French Jews to emigrate immediately to Israel to escape what he called "the wildest anti-Semitism."

"If I have to advise our brothers in France, I'll tell them one thing -- move to Israel, as early as possible. I say that to Jews all around the world, but there (in France) I think it's a must and they have to move immediately," Sharon said.

French officials were outraged. A French spokesman said: "We have been informed of comments made today by Sharon calling on the Jews of France to emigrate to Israel."

"We immediately made contact with the Israeli authorities to ask for an explanation of these unacceptable comments."

Daniel Bernard, French ambassador to London, added, "Why would Frenchmen want to move to that shitty little country?"

And with civil war effectively going on between the PLO and anti-Arafat factions, Israel might be nice and safe. Suicide bombers are probably too busy in Gaza and Ramallah to target coffee shops in Tel Aviv.
