However, look who are the people behind it, they are French citizens but of Muslim origin from Africa. These people are disliked by the majority of the French, so the real issue is France's problem with its Muslim community, not the French's anti-semitic tendency itself.

Europe isn't what it was a long time ago... and a long time ago, Europe was a pretty dark place, too. We focus too much on how good we are some things and thereby manage to overlook and, unfortunately, neglect the fact that we have problems just as big. Growing Anti-Semitism -- and general racism in some cases -- for one.

As GT wrote, what you described, how outrageous this teacher's comment may be, it is not as widespread as it may seem. There is however a common anti foreign tendency in France, it can hit you as a German, a British, an Arab, even as an Italian, and all of a sudden. I believe this stems from the still unreflected feeling of loss of "la grande nation". Lets fight against it but acknowledge that the majority of the French society does not consist of the type of scumbag teacher described by Le Parisien.

If I may ask, are you Jewish?

I say that I am not surprised, because, for instance, the other day, my history teacher ‚Äî who never misses an opportunity to spout his leftist drivel ‚Äî spoke of Israel as if the Jews (or should that be "Jooos"?) had progressively stolen, nay, infected the land. The French are generally left-wingers (and that is not a stereotype ‚Äî that statement can be backed up by many recent polls). I could not explain <i>why</i> France has such a horrific anti-Semitic record, though.
