Phyllis Chesler

Increasingly hostile and anti-assimilationist Muslim immigrants poured into France. They marched against Israel and for Palestine and were aided and abetted by France’s politically correct left. Even when they took over whole neighborhoods, entire streets, torched cars, attacked civilian buses—the left insisted that “Islamophobia” was behind the discontent. Muslims attacked synagogues and living Jews as well. Muslims tortured Ilan Halimi to death over a horrifying three week period. A French Jew, Charles Enderlin, sued Philippe Karsenty for libel for daring to suggest that Enderlin and France’s Channel 2 had incited the world against Israel with its false coverage of the Mohammed Al-Dura case. Karsenty eventually won. Still, France thereafter awarded Enderlin its highest decoration, the Légion d’honneur.
