One should be careful not to give a simplistic response that focuses on Israel and Jews, who were not the focus of the attack. Blaming France for the Vichy government or its policies on Israel is inconsistent with how most of us responded to to the terrorist attacks on the United States on 9/11. We all are correctly furious when Israeli government policies are blamed for the terrorist attacks on Israelis. I doubt that the French people will appreciate our self righteous criticisms.
