No one should minimize the power and impact of millions of pairs of feet standing together on France's streets and expressing powerful feelings of unity and solidarity. But here's what it boils down to:
...it was announced by the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve that around 5,000 police officers, gendarmes and soldiers will be sent to guard the 717 Jewish schools in France [The Independent UK, today]
All those slogans and all those colour pencils have tremendous symbolic significance. But the arms borne by those service personnel have their place too. As the Jewish community of Toulouse learned to its sorrow

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
