Salonica Jews, whose ancestors fled the Inquisition, had retained the language and some of the customs of 15th century Spain. Brunner forced Salonica's Jews into a ghetto, while he settled into a mansion with luxury gardens outside and torture chambers below. Witnesses have called Brunner the "most ferocious" of all the torturers. He packed 2,000 Jewish prisoners into each transport of sealed boxcars, which after ten days arrived at the gas chambers of Auschwitz. In six weeks Brunner destroyed a community that had persisted for five centuries.<BR/><BR/>In his next assignment as deportation expert in France (June 1943-August 1944), Brunner took over the transit camp of Drancy, northeast of Paris. He ruled by torture, reprisal, and deception (for example, encouraging prisoners to take personal belongings on transports to a so-called labor colony in Poland). Before Brunner's arrival, only Jews born outside France were deported. But Brunner began sending French Jews to death camps as well. He specifically marked Jewish children as targets, calling them "future terrorists," raiding children's centers, deporting hundreds of unaccompanied infants. Of the 23,500 people Brunner deported from France, only 1,645 survived.</B><BR/><BR/>http://www.answers.com/topic/alois-brunnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-59539766935063017622007-05-10T13:47:00.000-07:002007-05-10T13:47:00.000-07:00Futhermore, he will be appointing an actual Israel...<I>Futhermore, he will be appointing an actual Israeli citizen as immigration minister, according to the Jerusalem post … </I><BR/><BR/>Just the man to restrict Muslim immigration, mais non? <BR/><BR/><I> Obviously, you'll have to keep looking for that most elusive of animals, the so-called "good Jew". </I><BR/><BR/>Sarko will be an excellent Catholic of ¼ Jewish ancestry if he’s bad to Muslims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-77562331179484586912007-05-10T13:01:00.000-07:002007-05-10T13:01:00.000-07:00It could be said that Sarkozy owes his victory to ...It could be said that Sarkozy owes his victory to the <I>Ancien Régime</I>:<BR/><BR/><B>The real story is far different.

We were in Vietnam before you, and our young people died in Vietnam.”<BR/><BR/>He added: “In France, history is something that counts.

One need only look Spain after the expulsion of the Jews or to modern-day Turkey today for illustrations how these creatures co-operate for the despoilation of their hosts, even (or perhaps especaially) when they have changed their names, and feel that they now reside comfortably behind masks. They still recognize each other, they are still able to mass their resources to harm their neighbors, and most importantly, carry in their blood the imperative to destroy and enslave every people that they come among. As Goethe observed, "these clever people have internalized the principle that, where order reigns, there is no profit to be made". <BR/><BR/>That Sarkozy carries this imperative in his blood should shock exacty no-one.

Given Iran's shaky regime, nukes-a-plenty, and desire repeatedly stated to nuke America out of existence.<BR/><BR/>Some wars cannot be escaped Sammy. Iran has in one way or another been at war with the US and the West since 1979.<BR/><BR/>But I doubt either GWB or anyone else will do much about it, democratic politics means everyone wants to kick the can down the road. Even in Israel where everyone knows Iran and Hezbollah want to nuke them out of existence Olmert and Kadima cling to some fantasy of a peace deal. Heck Labor and Kadima both let the IDF wither down to it's current poor state (and poor showing against Hezbollah).<BR/><BR/>BUT ... it's going to be interesting to see how Jews respond to Sakorzy's experiment. France has HORRIBLE anti-Semitism, almost all of it by Muslims.<BR/><BR/>Two horrible murders, one of a Jewish man killed by his neighbor because he was a Jew, another of a young man lured by a Frenchwoman (white accomplice) of an Algerian Muslim gang, who tortured him to death with the help of friends, neighbors, and family for days (simply because he was a Jew) have accelerated the exodus of Jews to America or Israel.<BR/><BR/>Can France, which sent after Poland the highest percentage of it's Jews to the Gas Chambers, act as a Secular Republic open to Jews and a safe refuge from Muslim atrocities? It's an open question. Sarkozy's latest statement that France will not tolerate the Hijab nor female genital mutilation nor polygamy throws down the gauntlet.<BR/><BR/>Not just to Muslims.<BR/><BR/>But to Multiculturalists.<BR/><BR/>The elites who make up the PC Multicultis, the Media, Bureaucracy (in France this is the ENArchs), Leftist politics and NGOs, who are all married to each other and form interlocking social networks, have always feared the ordinary person the most. And use crime by the underclass particularly minorities to break the middle class, so that they may not just keep but expand their near-hereditary privileges.<BR/><BR/>WHY did the ENArchs in France not just tolerate but celebrate crime against ordinary citizens? Why did Dems do the same in NYC?<BR/><BR/>Simple. They wanted high crime as a means of driving out ordinary people and keeping a controllable underclass (about whom they can feel morally superior about) as the replacment. Rudy was the last stand of the NYC middle class. I imagine Sarkozy, Merkel, and a few others might be for the European middle class which is beset by PC anti-nationalism garbage like here and the same multi-culti crime and criminal-loving we saw in NYC under Dinkins.<BR/><BR/>Look at Mayor Tony in LA.
