[edit]

To say nothing of the content, the English needs an edit for grammar and style -- some may be machine-translated. For example, towards the end, the piece mentions "three cities": Paris, Alsace and Lorraine. Of these three, only Paris is a city. That may be the result of a translation from French (or from English into French and back into English, given that much of the end of the piece borrows from Paula Hyman, a well-respected US historian). Ungrammatical and unidiomatic language appears throughout.

"banned" land propietorship (?)

[edit]

A section mentions how the jewish population was so disenfranchised that they could not farm because "other bans" (unspecified, sic) had forbidden them to own land. I can think of no evidence of such a nationwide French ban on the matter - in fact, permitting this integration was Napoleon's purpose. Not only that but the same section, not a paragraph later, mentions approximately 100 land-owning jewish families, many of them owning rural land - on a single french town alone. This is completely inconsistent with the claim of land ownership being "banned" peddled just before. I strongly suggest removing the statement that contradicts established facts. 181.26.26.25 (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Sandherin just doesn't matter?

[edit]

Why is reference to this council being deliberately deleted and kept our of this page? Napoleon ASKED rabbis and repeated back the answers they gave him.

Is "antisemitism" just a magic word to get lies and half truths published on wiki? Because I have clearly seen that "antisemitism" has the effect of "we can go ten years saying this is true without providing any source or citation 206.174.198.66 (talk) 14:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon assembled the group of rabbis, who knew the questions and the answers Napoleon was expecting in advance. MrOllie (talk) 16:03, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
