Nearly half the Muslims in France, 15 and older, believe Islamic Sharia Law should be applied in the countries where they live, according to a study published in November by the French polling institute, IFOP.1 This adhesion to rigorous Islam is higher among those aged 15 to 24, that is to say, youth born in France of recent Muslim migration and holding French citizenship. The French model of integration does not work.2

France is in crisis. But France is not alone. The French (possibly the British too) will probably go to the polls within a year. The chaos may grow violent when, as predicted, the hard right anti-immigrant and EU sceptics come to power. After Marx’s The Civil War in France, the new version of the book could well be written from the other side of the aisle this time.

A Gaza Palestinian student has been deported from France to Qatar for allegedly sharing online antisemitic, even pro-Hitler, posts. Her treatment underlines the double standards in France when it comes to dealing with hate speech, racism and ‘terrorism.’

Why do we Americans say “We” or “Us” or “Our” when referring to our country’s actions even when we deeply disagree with them while the Germans and French, for example, distance themselves from that collective identity when critical?
At least this is the case for my generation and my father’s generation, a period of European immigration and descendants of slavery with a solid Anglo-Saxon education and environment. I can’t say whether this is true of post 1970s immigration from other parts of the world.

Greenlanders ! Think thrice before opting to become Americans.
Denmark offers free, universal, healthcare for all. In the US you will have to pay through the teeth for private insurance which covers little in comparison, and with which you will spend much time fighting to get them to cover what they are supposed to. When you get to a US hospital, they will ask you for your credit card before they ask you where it hurts and will discharge you much sooner than the Danes.
The reason why there are fewer deaths reported in the hospitals in the US is because they send people home to die to keep their statistics favorable. You won’t be sent home to suffer by the Danes if you are terminal.
Western criticism of Russia’s presidential election is false-hearted at best. But coming from the United States with its recent history of election fiascos it is astounding. There are very good reasons why Russians would want Putin, even if they did have a ‘Western’ style electoral rodeo.
Americans are given the illusion of choice with a Pepsi-Cola/Coca-Cola two-party circus where the AIPAC financed politicians (The Grayzone here and Al Jazeera here) agree on everything except who should run the show in America’s imperial interests. What doesn’t change is the 1% in whose interests the 9% of the cream work.
It appears harder for a third-party candidate to get into a US presidential election debate than it does in Russia. Only Ross Perot in 1994 comes to mind. The Oligarchs and their scribes in the two major American parties get to pick and choose who gets into the televised debates.
A journalist who exposes Israel’s Apartheid regime is labeled an anti-semite. When he calls Israel’s intent “Genocide,” the reporter might as well change professions if he ever wants to work again. They will make sure your reputation is ruined.
I have not been creative since Biden lied to the world by saying he saw the photos of an event which never happened: the beheading of 40 Israeli babies in the daring and successful Palestinian military operation on October 7. This was the first of many Israeli lies to come to justify the unbearable.
