(JEWISH GROUP) Just a passing thought about Paris this summer.

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!

I hate thinking this, or even posting this, as if it might "put it out in the world", but I am curious if anyone else has thought about or has concerns about the upcoming Olympics in Paris this summer.

Given the tremendous amount of anti-Semitism and the rabid hatred of Israel that currently exists, seeing the coverage of the upcoming Paris Olympics made me think of one word, a German word, München (Munich).

Do you think there will be anything other than protests? Do you have concerns another event, similar to what happened at the Munich Games, could happen?

The Munich kidnappings have to be uppermost in their minds. The French are pretty good at keeping track of their extremist organizations, and they seem to have wide latitude when it comes to taking action against militant factions. For example, they don't allow religious extremists to hide behind religious liberty and they deport various holy men.

. . . I do not think we are far from the "protestors" seriously injuring and/or killing Jews.

I'm so saddened I even have that thought.
