His name was Alfred Dreyfus.
He had a trial for supposedly doing a bad thing, although he didn't. Everyone knew that this was a lie.......it was because Alfred Dreyfus was a Jewish person. A news reporter at that time was Theodore Herzl, who was important to the trial and after-events of Alfred Dreyfus's trial. Although Alfred Dreyfus was saved, it was a very important and remembered drama in the French society. This makes me furious that one of our kind, the Jewish people, had to be faulted for something that he would never even think of doing. I think this situation makes everybody mad and furious and angry. There also can be some curiosity in this...why did they do this right after the French Revolution, when the French shouted for equality and freedom for everyone? Still, this situation makes me sad and angry and curious at the same time.
This greatly affects Israel because the Jews were never trusted anywhere. They were always faulted, and it results in making me sad and confused, and furious. Jews needed a home so they wouldn't be mistreated by other people. The Jews needed a place where they can be the leaders and make the right rules for one another. Most likely what happened to Alfred Dreyfus wouldn't happen to others in Israel. This is how the French Revolution and the situation with Alfred Dreyfus affects Israel and why we needed a home.
I agree with what you said. I like how you said that everyone is or should be treated equally. I really like this post and what it talks about.
ReplyDeleteI like this post very much and what you included in it.I agree with it very much but, yes, everyone should have equal rights and what not but the part where you said "They finally had freedom where they lived. No more unkindness or mean actions to the Jews" REALLY got me.
ReplyDeleteThey THOUGHT they had freedom but HOW could they have known that they were officially free people with equal rights.
(This isn't a question)
I agree with you alot . I like how you said everyone should be treaded with equal rights. I also liked when you said no more unkindness or mean action to the jews. The post was great
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Allen because it even after the protesting for equal rights 100 years before that they still had unequality in France (to the Jews). Alfred Dreyfus was accused even though he was innocent. He was punished just because he was a Jew. Only years later did they realize that he was innocent and released him from the island he was sent to. In conclusion I liked your post very much.
