While you celebrate victory over Nazi Germany on May 8, 1945, will you admit the massacres of 45,000 Algerians?

I don’t think that the French government is going to admit this event, or the third of the Algerian population it exterminated in the 19th century (1 million of people out of 3 millions), or the 1.5 million of deaths of the Algerian War of 1954/62, before the Algerian government itself becomes credible and logical in its request. For instance, after the French government passed a law glorifying the “good sides” of colonisation in 2005, Algerians waited months and then suddenly protested and voiced anger, and finally the Algerian president has choosen to go to a hospital in Paris to enjoy the benefits of French doctors thanks to the French taxpayers…
By the way, I think that before to criticise France about something that is over since 45 years and half, he should first criticise his beloved American and Western allies for occupying, pillaging, and genociding the Iraqis, since 1991. Arab leaders are too hypocritical to gain anything.
Anyway, your website is nice, I read the article about those Palestinians who were mistreated in the so-called “Israel” and it is extremely shocking. Magically, we never hear of such things on the news, the medias tend to show only extremists who are of Muslim or Arab background.
