Galliano - extravagant, creative but also human. This person has an opinion, as do most of us.

People may react during periods of stress. His behaviour may be irrational to some, but to that person it is logical.
Galliano was in historic area of paris where jews have resided for centuries. Jewish people are community oriented; therefore, a person who is not from their community may react to the superior notions associated with these districts.
Galliano made a reference to hitler while intoxicated. Yet, what is the context of that remark?

Some have claimed it is anti-semitic. This reminds me of the Demjanjuk case where jewish people "swore up and down" that he was responsible for thousands of deaths while serving as a camp guard in WW 2.
A Dutch scholar proved them wrong as evidence submitted contradicted their statements.

So why believe people who make up statements in support of one another!!!
