Maariv, June 14 2007 (from Paris)
Israel's hopes of strengthening ties with France once Mr. Sarkozy moved into the Elysee turned out to be exaggerated: the town of Pierrefitte, North of Paris, has to decided to adopt arch terrorist Marwan Barghouti and make him an honorary citizen. Former West Bank Tanzim commander, Barghouti is currently serving five life terms plus forty years in Israel on several counts of murder and attempted murder of Israeli civilians (and of a Greek monk) in terrorist attacks masterminded and sponsored by him during the second intifada. Two weeks ago, the Pierrefitte city council made this decision on the grounds that "Barghouti is being punished for his political convictions."
Jewish communities all over France were shocked by this decision and were quick to issue a harsh condemnation of the Pierrefitte city council and even demanded that the decision be reversed.
I suggest they simply adopt Barghouti and offer him residence in Pierrefitte so that he can spread his political conviction among the North African Arabs who aren't quite so pleased with their life in the douce France, and teach them a thing or two about intifada, not just rioting and burning cars, but the real staff - daily suicide bombings, road bombs, shooting ambushes. I mean if your heart bleeds for him, do something useful, for crying out loud!
