The Charles Kushner complaint to the Prime Minister Macron last week [View all]

[no_hypocrisy]

doesn't make sense to me.

France, like many other countries, has had antisemitism inherent in its society seemingly forever. It's just a debate about the degree. To my understanding, French Jews have not been targeted and attacked by native French, immigrants, Muslims, on a large wholesale degree as of late.

To my way of thinking, the motivation behind the formal protest is one of two things:

1. To keep his name in the papers. He appears to be a lackluster ambassador and is feeling overlooked.

2. Like Trump angling for the Nobel Peace Prize, Kushner (and Trump) want the French Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor), France's highest honor.
