But I wasn't arguing with Nick here. I didn't see a counter to this particular arguement in Nick's posts. I think he did a nice job getting numbers, and pointing to other possibilities. This was a continuation of my disagreement with Jeroen. I think I responded to Jon, but he and I were just tossing possibilities back and forth, my real disagreement is with Jeroens defense of the lack concern for the lives of others. I was considering Nick's source, looking at other sources on that subject, etc. Its not that I don't appreciate his responding with the information I asked for, its that I was engaged in a parallel discussion. > Also, France today has one of the highest Jewish populations in Europe, > if not the highest.

If France's record on anti-Semetism is so bad, why wouldn't it have lost almost all of its Jewish population after WWII, as did so many other countries.
