Sarkozy: No more 'yellow patches' for Jews

French President Nicolas Sarkozy praised Israel Monday as the only place in the world where Jews "will never be forced to wear a yellow patch."

Speaking before the Israeli Knesset, Sarkozy said there was a special bond between France and Israel and honored the country's role as a the Jewish homeland by quoting a Bible verse, Ynetnews.com reported.

Quoting the Book of Numbers, Sarkozy said, "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Go up this mountain in the Abarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites,'" adding that Israel provides "the only place in the world where everyone is certain that Jews will never be forced to wear a yellow patch, where Jews will not be banned from traveling on buses, visiting the cinema and theater and holding certain roles."

Earlier Monday, Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni, visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, accepted a Israeli-made bottle of wine and received two candlesticks as a gift from the Knesset speaker, Ynetnews.com said.

If anyone starts this nonsense again, look up for thy Redeemer draweth nigh. The next time it won't just be the Jews it will be all who oppose the AntiChrist regime, all people of faith, and they'll have more than patches to worry about. Think guillotine--hey, that's French!

The Jews are God's people. How does that make them satan's? And just what are Christians supposed to figure out?

Who? The French or the Knesset? I think it is more telling that Sarkozy did not rule out the idea of a yellow star in the EU
