Three different cases of it, that's why he made a deal with the far-right warmongers to get back in power, and avoid prosecution. One of his first actions, was to try to take power away from the courts. That triggered the protests, which I believe, still happen every weekend.
During WWII, as my father was helping liberate the French from the Nazi douchecanoes, he and members of his unit stop at a farmhouse for the night. The farmer takes them in and sets them up in beds. As he's setting up my dad for the night, he sees his dog-tag. The one with the Star of David on it.
At that, no bed for Dad. The French POS--who would have to learn German as a second language if it wasn't for my dad and the hundreds of thousands of other Americans literally leaving everything on the table, floor and every other room in the place to liberate them--sends him to the barn to sleep.
My dad had a hatred of that country for the rest of his life. No vacations in Paris for him. He refused to ever step foot in France again.
The French were some of the worst collaborators in the war and they were thrilled to see the Jews carted away. (Not all, of course but a sizable number.) It's a shame your father and his unit didn't toss that farmer and his family into the barn and take over their whole house for the stay. It would have served them right, and shame on his unit for not standing up for your father.
I would really like to know why it's so difficult for people to admit that they are wrong, in the face of clear evidence as shown here - why is admitting you were wrong at the beginning so much more difficult than being horribly wrong after the evidence comes out?

👆🎯Ye,s it is a sign of low intellect, and refusal to engage with facts. Intelligent people will defer to an expert on a subject, a low-intellect person will double-down on their stance, and probably cite a conspiracy theory to justify it. Or a NYPost tabloid article.
When you read military history, you realize this inability to admit mistakes is especially customary in militaries -- from Rome to Prussia to Britain to France to Russia to Japan to Israel to the US (throughout our history, including the so-called "Frontier Wars" against Native Americans). Like so many other "clubs" (e.g., police, hospitals), because militaries are prone to make (plenty of) errors in the heat of an event, they circle the wagons and double down to protect their reputations. Not an excuse, just a recognition that -- as ugly and frustrating as this is -- it's recurrent throughout history.
I’ve been to Devil’s Island. It was a cruise stop after a long time at sea. It’s was a beautiful sunny day in a desolate place surrounded by sharp jagged rocks and roiling seas. There are vacant buildings in disrepair and a graveyard with dates indicating some type of breakout e.g. cholera, typhoid, yellow fever, etc. taking the lives of children (those of staff) along with adults. The infirmary was kept busy in those days. I stood in the middle of one of the cells and was able to touch the side walls with both arms extended. Some still had chains with handcuffs dangling from their metal attachments on the stone walls Their post office, still operational, operated in a gift shop; my husband had an enveloped stamped and sent to our address back home to add to his collection. The Dreyfus Affair made this place famous, and it is a testament to the history of being silenced and removed by his government because he was Jewish.
Most European societies had / have varying levels of anti-semitism. But while Russia and other eastern European countries -- where most Ashkenazem were settled -- are cited the most for their 18th- through 20th-century Jewish ghettoes and horrific pogroms (which is why my ancestors fled to America), and while Germany declined to the depths of atrocities in the mid-20th century, France was always tacitly been recognized by Jews as among the most anti-semitic societies in history.
It never changes, does it? (I still find Netanyahu unbearable though)
He is the literal worst
You, me, and the vast majority of Israelis too.
I wonder if they'll ever get tired enough to yank him from power completely.
He's facing multiple fraud charges, IIRC.

Like I said, the vast majority of Israelis don't want him in office.
Oh goody, lets hope that actually goes somewhere.
Agreed, hes just rotten to the absolute core.
Ah France. ...

Unfortunately, there's a fair chance that farmer hated us Jews as much as (if not more than) many Germans.

That's a good list, thanks! I also tend to think a lot of these reasons are more effects than the root underlying cause...

Except, of course, the Zionists turned right back around and did much worse to the Palestinians. That’s what defies logic.
