Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, January 18, 2026

If antisemitism has long plagued France, dating back to the Middle Ages, it's now metastasizing in new, alarming ways, according to a recently published book by French journalist Nora Bussigny. Titled "Les Nouveaux Antismites" ("The New Antisemites"), it exposes virulent Jew-hatred endemic to many far-left organizations in France, infiltrated by Bussigny as part of a lengthy undercover investigation. Using a false identity, Bussigny uncovered pervasive antisemitism and anti-Zionism, now a common denominator among diverse groups that often disagree on other matters. "I saw with my own eyes to what degree Islamists, far-left so-called progressive' militants and feminist, LGBT and ecological activists are closely linked in their shared hatred of Jews and Israel," Bussigny told The Times of Israel during a recent interview on Zoom.

In the book, Bussigny shows how radical anti-Israel groups, including Urgence Palestine, Palestine Vaincra and Samidoun (designated a terrorist organization by several countries), receive political support in France, sometimes public funding and access to municipal facilities where they hold meetings and workshops seeking to radicalize young people.

Making "Les Nouveaux Antismites" more noteworthy is that its author is not only not Jewish, but half Arab-Muslim, adding to the enmity she faces.

Hi DBT2:

A few years ago I met a gentleman who is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), an area I have the least amount of experience in investigating or analyzing (that and distasteful sexual offenses). Anyways we were discussing previous cases and I realized that his Arabic and Hebrew were both perfect. I finally got him round to confess that he is of mixed descent like Nora Bussigny, although not nearly as pretty as she. The poor guy was uncomfortable discussing the horrible situation in Israel.

Anyways, regarding the Nora Bussigny expose, the loathsome ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu did a masterful job with his reprisal pogrom (AKA the Nakba) against the Palestinians in Gaza and his allowing Settlers to steal land in the West Bank, that he globally collectivized antisemites, anti-Zionists, and anti-Israelis, as we see in France.

The "Crime Minister" put a target on the back of innocent Jews worldwide, whether they are Ashkenazi (like himself) or Sephardic (like the gentleman I referred to above), Haredim or Secular, Labor or Likud, 'Buddhist' or atheist.

Note that there is no antisemitism or Islamophobia within the Israeli Communist Party (the "Makis") because their common cause is standing up to oppression and the oligarchs. These poor devils might be irrationally hated by these French antisemites/anti-Zionists simply because many of them are Jewish (albeit atheist).

France has a history of exploiting Muslim (and Asian countries like Vietnam), but now has a fairly substantial minority of Arab-descent people in the country. In Paris you could see black and Arab-looking police officers and soldiers on patrol with their white colleagues. These people are loyal to the French state but sympathize with the victims of white colonialism, i.e. the Palestinians.

One feels for Nora Bussigny and history holds a lesson for her. Centuries ago, the Irishmen who owned land and worked with the English were never comfortable anywhere. In Ireland they were viewed as "English" and when they visited London they were viewed as "Irish." Oscar Wilde may have felt similar pangs as an Anglo-Irishman, but we can't be sure.

Israel has created this widespread "Antisemitism" with their own Actions.

They are behaving like Murderous Swine.

They refuse to define the Borders of the "Jewish State", they are at War with almost all of their Neighbors.

Most importantly,they demand that everyone consider Judaism and Israel as Synonymous.

The Governments of their "Allies" Criminalize any Dissent of Current Policy towards Israel.

This creates widespread Frustration among the Free peoples of the world.

Israel is committing slow Suicide. Like America they think this will lead to "Greatness" but it will only Harden the resolve of their Enemies to Destroy them.

WAR is the endgame.

A War they cannot win. A War that could Destroy our World.

Antisemitism is a label used to Shut Up any discussion of Morality or Justice where Israel, is Concerned.

Everyone Fears the Label,so they Self Censor Justified Outrage about Intolerable Crimes being committed by the "Jewish State".

It's Manipulation and Deceit.

Ironically, only Jews Can Safely Criticize this Campaign of Terror Safely; although they are Accused of being Self Hating Jews When they Do.

"Antisemitism" is being Weaponized by the State of Israel to Give them Cover to Commit Unspeakable Crimes.

It will End in the Destruction of Israel itself by Feee Men.

In My Humble Opinion.

I expect to be labelled as Antisemitic for writing this.

I don't Care.

Israel is a Mad Dog.

War Criminals are not all the Same.

Dubya is a War Criminal. He's walking around, Free as the air. A respected Former President.

Bibi is a War Criminal he's Feted as an Elder Statesman by the US Congress. They Applaud his every Utterance.

So,what Exactly IS your Point?

#3 If I may:

Saying "Israel is a Mad Dog" is exactly like saying "America is a Mad Dog".

Yeah, what Israel is doing, under the indicted criminal Bibi is reprehensible, beyond belief.

Just as what America is doing under the convicted criminal Trumpf is reprehensible, beyond belief.

Perhaps your very legitimate anger towards what is happening in Gaza should be focused on those responsible.

Just as we're focused on the reprehensible, beyond belief behavior of Pedodent Trumpf and his minions.

Israeli society has Not renounced their leaders. They support the actions in Gaza overwhelmingly.

Anti Arab bias is the Norm.

At this point their Entire society is largely Complicit.

Explain who's responsible if their entire society isn't.

Thanks.

By the Way, America IS also a Mad Dog.

Our Military budget alone shows our priorities as a People.

Both parties Fall all over themselves giving the Pentagon MORE than originally budgeted.

No Public Healthcare, No Money for Non Military Foreign Aid, No Money for Conservation. Only a Gigantic Military for Conquest is a top Priority. They changed the Name to Department of WAR.

Trump Won Re-Election in a Free And Fair Election.

So who's to blame for Him?

Both Parties Love the Military,it's Bipartisan.

So Again who's to blame for the War Machine?

Would the Military be any Smaller if Kamala had won?

Would our Aid and Comfort to Israel be less if Kamala had Won?

Biden said he was a Zionist and acted as one as President.

Who's to blame for American Militarism?

Not just Trump.

So Who?

#7 "Israeli society has Not renounced their leaders."

I keep hearing from the right that American society has Not renounced Trumpf and his minions.

Just listen to Major DEI Boazo (Trump is what Americans voted for)

But that does not make it true.

So, at this point, according to you, the Entire American society is largely Complicit with everything Trumpf and his minions are doing.

As to who's responsible, if their entire society isn't, I clearly said Pedodent Trump and his minions.

Just as I believe that the entire Israeli society isn't responsible, it is Bibi and his minions.

Now, what problem do you have with Americans getting loans in order to buy a car or a house?

Thanks.

#8 "Both parties Fall all over themselves giving the Pentagon MORE than originally budgeted."

Well, now, that would certainly go a long way towards explaining why defense dollars are committed in all 435 Congressional districts.

Defense dollars spent in every single Congressional district = jobs for constituents.

Funny how that works.

Would I prefer more money for Public Healthcare, more Money for Non Military Foreign Aid, and more Money for Conservation ? ? ? ?

Sure. 100% absolutely

It seems that only those on the Reich right side of the aisle are against those.

Now, once again, what problem do you have with Americans getting loans in order to buy a car or a house?

Thanks.

And, as for more money for Public Healthcare, more Money for Non Military Foreign Aid, and more Money for Conservation...

... in the strictly binary political system we currently have in America, who's going to deliver that?

Republicans?

Or Democrats?

Are you suggesting in a Vieled way that I'm Islamic?

Why would you think that?

Non Muslims Can be outraged by American and Israeli Crimes.

Are you Islamophobic?

What was the point of that last little Barb?

If Americans are not responsible for Reelecting Trump after all he did his First term, Who is?

Dubya got Reelected after Iraq.

By a bigger margin than in 2000.

Who's Responsible?

Your Repetition of that Question reinforces my belief that you have a problem with Muslims.

DO YOU?

#12 Nope.

If I thought that I wouldn't "suggest" it, veiled or otherwise.

I'd say it clearly.

So, no, I don't think you're Islamic.

Anti-American, yes.

But Islamic, no.

And, yeah, America is a very complicated place, politically speaking (as well as other areas, but I digress).

And Iraq was not "over" in 2004... it was just getting started.

Now, once again, what problem do you have with Americans getting loans in order to buy a car or a house?

Thanks.

My question has to do with what you said:

"The Israeli Way.

They are a terrible influence on the US.

We have assimilated their Deepest Values.

Moneylending, Murder,and Aggressive War."

#7 | Posted by Effeteposer at 2026-01-18 12:17 PM

If you always tell the truth you never have to remember what you said.

#7 What in heaven's name have you got against "money lending."

Few Americans have the cash to buy a car, and especially a home (you know, the American dream).

So, they take out a loan.

So, what have you got against Americans wanting to own a home or a ca?

Doesn't make sense.

If you want to focus on that you can. It wasn't well thought out when I wrote it.

It's just what came to mind because Jews are Associated with Moneylending and Israel insists it represents the values of all Jews. Bibi has won many Elections on that very point.

Even Jesus had a problem with it.

If I Understand your point you are Accusing me of Antisemitism.

Are You?....Get in Line.

Banking is an necessary evil but yeah,I do have a problem with loans at interest actually. It's a Scummy Corrupt practice Condemned by all major Religions as Exploitative....until Finance became the undisputed Western Value.

And the backbone of the Economy.

Yer Up.

In Muslim countries Loans at interest are Haram, they are a Sin.

Banks lend but not at interest, they take a partial stake in a business if it succeeds they get a percentage of the profits,if it Fails they get the principle repaid but no interest.

The idea is that money is "Sterile" Money should not make money from just Existing as Leverage.

A Concept totally foreign to Americans.

Jews traditionally alone among the Abrahamic religions embraced moneylending at interest as Kosher.

Except to Other Jews. Then it's a Sin.

One Standard for everyone else and another for the Tribe.

In Christian tradition the ban was Universal. Also in Islam.

ELITIST.

You are correct.

That's why I am left wondering why you are so against Americans taking out loans for cars and homes.

'Tis part and parcel of the American dream.

Money should not make money from just Existing as Leverage."

Ah, so now you're against Americans have a saving account.

Or buying CDs.

And Jesus' problem was moneylenders doing their business in a house of worship.

Unless you have some red-letter quote that says Jesus was against loans.

Thanks.

Not Loans ,Loans at Interest.

Anyone is free to loan to anyone, it's their Money.

It's Expecting to Profit fron the loan.

It's Using Money itself to Extract interest for lending it.

I get that you don't agree but why are all major religions against Loans AT INTEREST?

Why is it considered to be Bad?

For one it fuels empty profiteering with no productive gains.

Arbitrage is a great example,hostile buyout using a company's own assets to leverage a loan to buy out the original owner and sell off the pieces.

Clearly Immoral,Clearly Legal and ENCOURAGED by the current monetary policies. Unheard of in Islamic Countries.

USURY,the loaning of money to Desperate people at exorbitant interest for Necessities.

Is a Crime in most Countries.

Charity not Usury is the proper way to Help the poor.

#22 In which "Tribe"-free zone do you live, where money falls from trees and is free for everyone?

usury

/yooZH(')r"/

noun

the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest.

Last car loan I had was at 0.99%/annum. Hardly anyone's idea of usury.

And I took the loan because my high-yield interest rate savings account was paying just above 4%

So I was saving money that way.

With my (now paid-off) mortgage, the interest rate charged was around 6% (if I remember correctly).

Just what was criminal about that?

...why are all major religions against Loans AT INTEREST?"

From where did you pull that?

Oh, and I think you are confusing Mafioso loan sharking for banks.

You're welcome.
