Le Pen has about 20% of the vote.(as of todays' news) that is very worrying. however, this is not too surprising. France conspired with Hitler during WWII tho now it appears they were all in the Resistence. here in the UK, we have our own Nazi's, the Birtish National Party. They have just won 2-3 council seats. Minor, very minor, but a warning. these seats were won in high ethnic wards. People always need someone to blame for their own inadequacies. Bree wrote: But is the opposite true? Palestinian children on the other hand....well let's just say, there is not too much teaching of....LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. Unforunately this is true. So is the fact that Jews teach their children the same. Not too long ago, the BBC held a forum in Israel. the audience made up of Israeli's. The hatred shown was akin to that shown by the other side. However, many of the audience were appalled by this too. Fundamentalism, in whatever guise, is wrong, no matter whether they are Arab, Jew or Xtian. Children on both sides of this conflict are being abused daily. They are being fed the hatred of the people bringing them up. This will result in adults who hate. It will be very very difficult to undo this damage. bw colin
