In an unprecedented and extraordinary attack on France, the American Board of Rabbis has demanded a worldwide ban on French products.
The New York-based association which promotes Jewish unity abroad voted unanimously to call on Jewish people around the world to boycott everything French: goods, services, and even the language.
The board is outraged at France’s providing hospital treatment for Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who it describes as a ’master terrorist’, responsible for ’the murder of thousands of infants, children, women, and men.’
Association President, Rabbi Mordechai Yitzchok Friedman, said ’France’s harboring of Arafat, is consistent with its tradition of anti-Semitism and anti-American activities.”
The Rabbi said the hosting of Yasser Arafat was an act of terrorism and was in breach of the U.S.’s Global Anti-Semitism Bill, under which the U.S. State Department is to monitor global anti-Semitism and annually rate countries on their treatment of Jews.
Rabbi Friedman continued his extraordianry attack by referring to the Book of Genesis, Chapter 12, Verse 3, claiming, ’God will curse those who curse the Jewish People, and so shall the people and country of France be cursed.”
Arafat meantime is recovering in a hospital near Paris after being flown there from Ramallah via Jordan for emergency medical treatment. Aides say doctors have ruled out leukaemia and are testing the ailing 75-year old leader for a possible virus.

I’m just wondering if the Israelis found a way to poison Arafat without making it obvious. This mysterious blood illness seems very sudden to me.
