A small French town whose name translates in English to “Death to Jews” is the latest subject of anti-Semitism that Jews are crying about.
Needless to say, Jews are finding this “shocking,” “disgusting” and claiming that this will lead to another shoah where 60 billion Jews will probably get turned into lampshades.
The good news is that the town residents are resisting the name change being demanded by these Jews citing history and tradition.
From Time:
A Jewish organization is petitioning French officials that a small hamlet outside of Paris change its name from what translates in English to “Death to Jews.”
“[The fact that the name] was unnoticed during seventy years since the liberation of France from the Nazis and Vichy is most shocking,” Shimon Samuels, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre’s international affairs, wrote to France’s interior minister.
But the deputy mayor of Courtemaux, the 289-population village that oversees the contested hamlet, is resistant to a name change, arguing that the tradition should be respected.
“It’s ridiculous. This name has always existed,” Marie-Elizabeth Secretand told AFP. “No one has anything against the Jews, of course. It doesn’t surprise me that this is coming up again. Why change a name that goes back to the Middle Ages or even further? We should respect these old names.”
This situation could end up becoming completely hilarious.
