The weird thing was, it wasn't a call to boycott France over the Iraq war. I mean, I'm sure it originated from the same conservative think tank, but it was an attempt to appeal to (presumably progressive) Jews to boycott France because of several anti-Semitic incidents. All of which were terrible, of course, but none of which were actually initiated by the French government, so I wasn't certain what a boycott was supposed to accomplish.

Great article, though.
