Criminals engrave a star of David on the wrist of a Jewish coed

Aix-en-Provence (AP) - Three cagoulés criminals engraved a star of David with a cutting metal object on the wrist of 21 years a Jewish coed after to have attacked it Tuesday evening in its residence of Aix-en-Provence (Rhone delta), one learned Wednesday from legal source.

The tracks of a racist act or a personal conflict are evoked by the investigators of the police station of Aix-en-Provence.

This girl had just assisted with a debate on the israélo-Palestinian conflict with the cinema "Renoir" in Aix-en-Provence when she was attacked in her residence, two or three hours later.

An investigation was open for "violences worsened", according to a legal source

Looks like we didn't kill ALL those Vichy swine. They are resurrecting themselves again.

I hate the French.

Looks like that Canadian broad coined an apt phrase, "Those Bastards".

[Catspaw]

B-B-B-BUT Jacques Chirac said there was no anti-semitism in France. Just ask him.

AXIS OF EVIL UPDATE, N'EST PAS 3/16/03:
FRANCE IS AT THE HEART OF THE AXIS OF EVIL

In Beit Hanoun, north Gaza, Palestinian terrorists wave French and German flags
and Saddam Hussein's portrait as the Axis of Evil fully declares itself
the enemies of America.
This was one day after President Bush offered the Palestinians a state, only yesterday.

---

In Khan Younis, south Gaza,Palestinian terrorists burn American, Israeli and British flags
as they chant for murder, kill, death; as is their way - and that of Germany and France (its puppet).

I had to go to the website to confirm the above, because I could not believe the translation. You would think Yahoo could afford a translater who has at least had two semesters of English.

Maybe I should have hit the "report Abuse" button, since that sentence just murdered the English language.

Well, at least they haven't starting shipping trainloads of little French Jewish kids to concentration camps - yet...

[sheik yerbouty]

Patience. After Iraq, the evidence of complicity and collaboration will point to france.

[gaspar]

Can you translate cagoule? Doesn't it mean a member of a secret society? Is it perhaps a new term used for terrorist?

[anniegetyourgun]

I hope some will be brought up on charges....

But if they mark them now, it makes the round-up job easier when the time comes.

This part of France, Provence, is really the most conservative part of the country. I was made to feel very welcome when I visited there last summer. All the French were very warm, friendly, polite and helpful.

Aix-en-Provence is a fair size city, however, and it's a college town. Kind of like Madison or Ithaca.

someone saw planet of the apes. (the new poor quality one, you know, the one that rips off the ending from the orignal french book...)

[wideawake]

A cagoule is a skimask or balaclava.

[Michael.SF.]

Can you translate cagoule?

I went to translator.com and it came back as: Balaclavas.

Which means she was either attacked by three guys from the Crimea or by a pastry desert featuring pistacios and honey, popular in the mid-east. Oh, wait, thats baclava.

What the heck is a "cagoulés" anyway??

[rogue yam]

Opening myself up for a massive flaming, but...

Has anyone ever once heard of one of these "criminals mark the body of a persecuted minority" deals that did NOT turn out to be a hoax?

[Salman]

I hate the French.

I'm willing to bet that these criminals are not French. Enabled by the French yes, so hate away!

[Conservative4Ever]

No flaming from me...and no I haven't. I go with .. show me some evidence. :)

This is not a translation from a human being. This is from Babelfish.altavista.com translation from French to English. In other words, it's not bad for having a machine do it.

Yes, I realised that was the case. However, it was taken from Yahoo's website (as I checked out). This means that a human did interact in some manner (I would think) before it was approved or released by Yahoo.

If the poster, had taken the French version, translated it and posted it, I would not have commented as I did.
