French news headlines:Le Monde: Bombing In Jerusalem, Air Raid In Gaza. Sixteen dead in the bus bombing, seven in the air raid. On the strike front, the top headline is Baccalaureate: No Boycott. If I follow, educators are supposed to remain on strike but not interfere in the administration or processing of the tests. Word has it this policy may not be followed by radicals.
Le Figaro: Bombing Against Peace in Jerusalem.
Libé: Peace Process Undermined by Bombing. Libé says the air raid killed nine. Also, a clever headline on strike news: Risques d'embūches pour les būcheurs du bac, which doesn't translate nearly so neatly; it means "Risk of Ambush for Takers of Bac." Specifically, not all unions are on board about staying out of the way of test takers.
Ouest-France: Retirement Debate Provokes Tension At Assembly. If only things were that sedate on the street! Still, some Socialists declare themselves offended by the way Raffarin has undertaken these reforms.
