So I went around and took pictures and interviewed people!
I told people that I was from this US web site called free republic!
So this was the general thing: most were Jewish, although there were many Frenchies. I overheard many remark that 'oh isn't it odd that there are no Arabs'
I asked people what was the purpose of the march, and it was funny how the answer was so similar: "We want to show our solidarity, we are against all forms of Racism", so just leave it to FR's Sarah to point out that there is really one basic issue now in France, there is only source of these race based acts of horrible violence. People were just so polite, like I was being rude to say the obvious.

Extremely glad to see Parisians taking to the streets in protest against Anti-Semitism. It's a shame that this young man had to be tortured and murdered before people spoke out and said they'd had enough of the govt's shameful denial of what's been going on. Maybe now the French govt. will have the cojones to deal with Muslims. It's not poverty, it's Islam.

LOL, I love it. We have really gone international now. Not so pleasing is that people will not face this squarely for what it is. Political correctness kills.

The red flags are Shomer Hatzair which I remember as a secular Marxist group.

The flags look horrible don't they?
Anyway, they're for Shomer HaTsair, Youth guard. Its a extremely anti-religious group that gained it's fame by stripping the morocans of all vestiges of religion when they first came to Israel, decades ago.

I posted some more in posts #17 & 18, but counting all of them it looks like I only posted 18 of the 20 pictures you took at the demonstation.

Thanks for the explanation. I just googled Shomer Hatzair and did a little reading about it.
