Insult the Jews, incite Jew-hatred and then, bingo, just say you were joking! The French courts didn't find this French comic too funny, but you can check out this news report from Haaretz and decide for yourself.
A French court on Tuesday fined a right-wing comedian 10,000 euros for "public anti-Semitic insults" after he invited Robert Faurisson, an academic and Holocaust denier, on stage during a comedy show to receive an "award" from an actor dressed as a Jewish deportee.
The Paris court told Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, a 43-year-old French stand-up comic, to pay a further 10,000 in damages and legal fees to organizations that sued him, French news agency AFP reported.
Dieudonne told the court that the show had been intended as a "comedy bomb attack" but defended his right to free expression. Anti-racism and Jewish groups welcomed the verdict, AFP reported.

Dear David Suissa: I am a viewer of
your blog on Haaretz of the video of a Jewish melody ( Lid) that held me entranced. I would like to have a
permanent record of this video. Can you please repeat it?
