A French court fined a comedian for suggesting that Jews were slavers.
Dieudonne M�bala M�bala faced controversy because of a sketch in which he donned Orthodox Jewish clothing and gave a Nazi salute. He was cleared last September of incitement charges related to that sketch, but was fined more than 5,000 Euros for a 2004 interview with the Journal de Dimanche in which he said, �Those who attack me founded their fortunes on the trade in blacks and slavery.� The court said the statement was an attack on Jews. In addition to his fine, he was ordered to pay a symbolic one Euro to several Jewish and anti-racism groups.
