From Galliawatch. Fits well with the feeling I get watching the news on lci ("conservative") and i-télé (limousine liberals), which are in full "Isreal is the ennemy of peace" mode, IMHO. Unanimity reigns supreme, not a single dissisdent voice; France truly is the realm of the "Pensée Unique" (unique thought, establshment driven orthodoxy).
Browsing through the French websites, one finds mostly condemnation of Israel, or at the very least, a kind of perplexity: why would Israel do such a thing? If Jean-Marie Le Pen has been evasive with regard to Islam, he shows no retinence as far as Israel is concerned. His position puts him in the same camp with the noted scholar of Middle East issues and funny man,
and überleftist activist driven by hate and resentment against the catholics, the jooos ("zionists") and whitey... all this in name of the so-called "republican values" threatened by you-know-who.
Dieudonné M'Bala M'Bala. This strange alliance was the topic of one of my posts back in May.
dieudonné ("God given") has in fact remarked he was the left equivalent of pépé Le Pen he admired IIRC for his straight talking, and he wished to be pitted against him at the second turn of the 2007 presidential election.
These two communiqués, once again, illustrate the "unholy alliance" between the Front National and the bloc composed of immigrants, Muslims, blacks, celebrities, the left-wing, the so-called conservatives, and, in general, anti-Semites of all stripes and all conditions. The first one is from Le Pen's website:
Jean-Marie Le Pen expresses his great concern over the Israeli military interventions in Palestine, and now in Lebanon.
These hostilities, that are looking more and more like war, cannot be justified by the kidnapping, however surprising, of one or two Israeli soldiers.
Furthermore, the increased pressure on Iran, the unfolding of a veritable civil war in Iraq and the persistent armed confrontations in Afghanistan constitute an ever greater threat to the peace, not only of the region, but of the entire world. Henceforth, the increase in the price of oil places the economic balance of the world in danger.
Jean-Marie Le Pen calls on the various national and international leaders to act immediately to restore lasting conditions for peace and international security.
Now, from our celebrity candidate for the presidency of France, Dieudonné, who seems to feel that French politicians are siding with Israel:
The Israeli expansionist and racist policy is now out in the open both in Lebanon and in Gaza. The State of Israel used as a pretext the rather suspicious kidnapping of soldiers to launch a massive terrorist offensive against the forces of Palestinian resistance in Gaza and in Lebanon.
It will be noted that these obvious violations of international law, not to mention the most basic humanity, are taking place with the tacit support not only of the USA, but also an important number of French politicians.
Thus, Nicolas Sarkozy, representative of the neo-conservative political trend, not content with having admittedly approved the American aggression in Iraq, now openly supports the Israeli terrorist actions and hides no longer his desire for France to recapture her empire.
I call on all free men in this country to muster up their courage, as the former President of the Constitutional Council, Roland Dumas, has just done, to call a spade a spade, and to assemble for the purpose of demanding that the French authorities condemn the Israeli aggression and that they initiate immediately a dialogue with the elected representatives of the Palestinian people and with the representatives of Hezbollah.
I call on the Jewish organizations of France to exhibit prudence and to cease igniting ethnic tensions through their unconditional support for the policies of Israel.
I hope that Roland Dumas, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, initiates a gathering of all those who seek peace in the Middle East, and who wish to see France initiate steps as she did at the time of the Gulf War, out of respect for her principles and her friendly relations with the Arab-Muslim world.
In addition, the remarks of a deputy from Yvelines, Jacques Myard, have surprised and dismayed some, including the administrator of Occidentalis, Denis Greslin and the Google group Via-Resistancia. Myard apparently has said that "the French government must take all possible measures, including military action, against Israel."
The writer at Via-Resistancia, as transmitted by Occidentalis, laments:
So this is what France is sinking into, back with her former demons from the '40's, when it was fun to spit on Jews, before sending them to the camps...
Never in my life have I felt so ashamed to be a Frenchman. For a long time, Roosevelt and Churchill debated whether or not to consider France as an ally or as an enemy like Italy. Finally Churchill is said to have convinced Truman to place her in the camp of the victors. But 60 years later, we are forced to admit that she did not belong there...
