Talk:Infamous Decree

[Untitled]
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 (?)
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)

Grand Sandherin just doesn't matter?
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)
