Double standard???  Even if there were a parallel between occupied
France and the mid-East situation, the French underground was not in
the habit of kidnapping, shooting, or blowing up innocent civilians.
They spent most of their venom--and ammo--on Nazis and collaborators.
A true "people opposing a brutal occupation" will concentrate on
harrassing the occupiers.  And thus is the lie exposed.
