PARIS – A municipal regulation in the southern French city of Nice requires apartment renters "to have a French citizenship and not to be Jewish." According to the Nice Matin newspaper, the regulations were formulated in the days France collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.
The newspaper found out that such a clause appears in the regulations of about 1,000 apartment buildings in the Mediterranean city, and therefore remains valid to this day.
And the French faux-ed outrage when former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suggested French Jews needed “to immigrate to Israel as early as possible” and referred to “France as the home of the wildest anti-Semitism.”

The Islamic Republic of France will have a law or two to 'deal' with Jews, it's just a matter of time...
Well, I suspect the laws may already be on the books - it all becomes a matter of enforcement.
A lot of places have "laws still on the books." In Oakland County, MI, it's illegal to have oral sex, premarital sex, or even any sex that's not missionary position. And if you take a dead rat to the County Courthouse, you are entitled to a 10 cent-bounty.
Yup, there's reason's I moved away from there...
I think its time to increase the bounty for rats. As for sex - what a nightmare enforcement would be.
But I don't know, Michael - wouldn't you think it reasonably after the liberation of France that the Vichy laws got off the books post haste?
Of course it's reasonable, Kate. It's also reasonable to get the blue laws and rat bounty off the books in Michigan. And to update the Ottoman-era building codes here in Israel.
Doesn't mean it'll happen, though.
Well, if you saw the size of the rat I did a few weeks ago - you might be more inclined to keep the rat bounty law on the books but up the ante.
Musta been a big rat.
