    People need to have a bad guy to point their finger at. And trust me, as a French-Israeli citizen I know what I’m talking about 😬 Folks will give a lot of moral and life lessons before sweeping their front door first, as we say in french.

      So uuuh… are you implying that France shouldn’t sweep their dirty front door? Or what’s your point?
      I feel like the post is very clear that the French are being negligent with their front door.

        No? That’s not a all what I said nor implied. I just think that when you feel entitled enough to preach and give moral lessons to others you better make sure your front door is cleaned. That’s just an opinion, of course you can criticize others without being 100% perfect if you want but I’m just not a big fan of hypocrisy.
