OK, about the Siné stuff because you guys talking out your asses without knowing.
First, let's take stuff into perspective.
- At the time late 2000s, early 2010, the director of Charlie Hebdo was Philippe Val. Philippe Val started out pretty much as a leftist but with years passing, slowly drifted to the center than the right.Val as a boss is known to censor things that displeases the elite, the bosses or the presidence.
- Nicolas Sarkozy was the president of France from 2007 to 2012 and he's known for his collusion with media and heads of media and how he could influence a papers' direction because he got the elite in his pocket. One of his most famous photo is the following when he's in the center of many smiling journalists as if he was king and they were servants.
The Siné Affair came after a series of disagreements between Siné and Val.
Val is some kind of authoritarian boss and the fact that he was close with Sarkozy probably played a part in the Siné affair even if he already displayed some authoritarian hand with his crew refused some cartoons because he didn't like them using the fear of getting tried as an excuse.
In 2008, Siné wrote about the son of Sarkozy marrying a rich woman that happened to be jewish and joked about it. Val fired him a few weeks after and Siné clapped back by launching a new paper. A few people supported Val but most people supported Siné. Cartoonists at the time portrayed Val as a dictator, a king or an ayatollah because of his censorship ways and also because he was leaning more and more to the right.
A few cartoons about the Val / Siné stuff :
Val as a Nazi
Val as Christian inquisitor on a Kingly chair
Val as an Ayatollah
Val as a undertaker
Siné was accused of antisemitism but the accusers LOST the case, the DA stated that he had the right to satire and freedom of speech. Siné, in the opposite, won his case against Val for unlawful firing. Val was dismissed (or resigned I don't know) in 2009 because his position were more and more unstable.
So in short : the reason Siné was fired was because Val abused his power not because of antisemitism ! Facts.
About Charlie Hebdo more specifically : it's true they ain't hard on Jews as they once were in the 80s/90s. But I believe it has to do with Philippe Val being the boss from 1992, date of the newspapers rebirth who always stated he didn't want to be accused of antisemitism as an excuse to ease up on Jews. Ultimately he was the one who decided what was on the cover and always had the last word.
But they are not specifically hard on Muslims, as said earlier, they are that way with everybody. And if in the months to come, there is a some news involving Jews, best believe they will be hard as they are usually. A couple of covers they did in the past :
"flatten your bellies !" (assuming they fat because they are eating well)
"an arab lick a yid's ass" / "does racism sell ? a jewish woman's ass".
"hey yids, what's gassin ?" (I don't know how to translate it but Hitler is saying to Jews "what's good ?".)
Carlie hebdo fires the Jews from his crew "-outta here, yids ! -without us the quality will decrease..."
If you guys really want some anti-jew/Israel cartoon (because some of you really fiending for it apparently), you can go for Siné Hebdo which is the cartoon newspaper Siné launched after having been fired from Charlie Hebdo. Siné is actually pro-Palestinian.
"Riddle me this : dear reader, from which side of the wall is Isreal ?"
Now can we cut the France only shyt on Muslims talk ? Thank you.
you could have did a 5 min ab workout or popped a few fat burners
