QuoteFrench Israelis were as shocked and saddened over the horrific attacks in Paris as Americans were about 9/11, but while we were stunned, they weren't surprised at all.

Of course not. They have dealt with these people's antics for a long time.

What's his point?  That Charlie shouldn't have ridiculed Islam because there are Muslim cops?

Maybe their choice to excersie their right to free speech can/have/had a price.

Just because you can say it, doesn't mean you have to.

That he identifies more with the Muslims who participate in French life and even die for it than he does with Charlie Hebdo which mocks and ridicules him.

Seems straight forward to me.

"Charlie ridiculed his faith and culture" sound much more like chastisement than "difficult to identify with."

His faith was stupid and his culture was evil.

I ridicule your faith and culture too, yet I support Raz's death in defending it.  That's what makes us in the West so great, and Them Over There, not so much.

Sounds like a statement of fact to me. I don't think Charlie Hebdo would disagree, from what I understand of the magazine.

Before it was a straight forward expression of his not identifying with Charlie Hebdo, now it's just a plain statement of fact.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Yi here.  If they had just been lauding the Muslim cop, that would be one thing.  I feel like the purposeful dissociation from Charlie is sort of the wagging finger.

... yes?

His statement has several parts. The first part says he does not identify with with Charlie Hebdo. Later he states that Charlie Hebdo mocked his culture and faith, which is a straight up statement of fact (and not one I believe is controversial).

I think it's reasonable to infer that the statement of fact he provides is the reason for how he identifies, given it's in the same statement and all.

Is this confusing?

No
Only to the ridiculous and they not mentioning any names (Seedy, Tricky Dick, Yi), know who they are.
