of this week's issue, #2614, March 21, 2003:
Chard, the artist who makes all the drawings for the paper, drew an open
box of 12 Laguiole knives (Laguiole knives are very well-known in France),
one of which was missing.
Rabbi Fahri was shown standing alongside the box, with his black hat on,
where one can see a tiny scar on his belly. Somebody (who cannot be seen) tells him [recall detectives have said that the knife used against him had indeed been taken from the kitchen of his synagogue]:
- Mais... Le couteau appartient à la synagogue, Rabbin Fahri! [But the knife
belongs to the synagogue, Rabbi Fahri!]
And the rabbi replies:
- S'occuper du couteau et non de la plaie relève du négationnisme!
[To focus on the knife and not upon the wound smacks of Holocaust denial!].
The times, they are a changin'.
