In a recent speech at the National Assembly that recalled Emile Zola’s attack on the “blind stupidity” of Jew-hatred almost 120 years ago, he asked: “How can we accept that in France&hellip;shouts of “Death to the Jews!” can be heard in our streets?...How can we accept that French people can be murdered because they are Jewish?” He then warned that the revival of anti-Semitism in France – apparent, for example, in the anxiety over the Holocaust’s inclusion in the French school curriculum – indicates a crisis of democracy.
法国总理曼努埃尔·瓦尔斯已经认识到其中的危险性。在最近国民议会纪念120年前左拉攻击仇犹情绪“盲目愚昧”的一次演讲中，瓦尔斯质问：“我们怎么能够接受在法国的大街上有人...呼喊“杀死犹太人”？...我们怎么能够接受法国人因其犹太身份而遭到杀戮？”之后他警告法国反犹主义（比方说把大屠杀写入法国教科书所引发的担忧）的复兴显示民主已经陷入危机。
