France’s new president, Nicolas Sarkozy, lost 57 members of his family to the Nazis and comes from a long line of Jewish and Zionist leaders and heroes, writes RAANAN ELIAZ.

A French friend living in Sydney sent this fascinating article to me.

Well, this is interesting. If he’s consistent, it’ll be quite a break with previous French selling out of Israel to the Islamic neonazis.

“It is a fair to predict that France will stay consistent with its support in establishing a viable Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, existing side by side with a peaceful Israel.”

I have little doubt that any new “Palestinian state” would in short order become an Islamicist state. Hamas, the party that won the largest number of seats in the Palestinian Assembly in the election of February 2007, is thouroughly committed to jihad. You can read their founding statement at a number of places on the Web.

Hamas, and by extention its voting supporters, are not friendly to Israel, nor to the United States, nor to the West in general. Hamas is committed to the spread of Islam by every means possible, including force. Why France or any other non-Islamic country would be interested in sponsoring the development of an Islamicist state is difficult to understand. It may be a reflexive anti-Israel reaction - if a Palestinian government would be opposed to Israel they are therefore good.

It may be that the foreign supporters of a Palestinian state do not understand the Islamicist mentality, and make the mistake of thinking that behind their different language and un-Western dress and mores they are just like Westerners. This is wishful thinking.

I wonder if he’s related to George Allen?

The National Front Party of le Pen tried and it backfired.

The “Nationalist Rightists” as they call themselves, tried it, and it back fired.

Sarko will be Presidnet for at least 5 years, with a strong majority to enact his reforms.

Sarkozy is European, French, Hungarian and Jewish.

Hopefully, this will pave way for a more sincere Western European approach to Eastern European as well as Middle East affairs.

The Russian Mafia, the Islamofascists and various people around the globe who hate Europe out of ignorance and inferiority complex might not rejoice, but Western European interests (which often merge well with those of Northern Americans) will continue to shape the future of Mankind.

If he was to a Jewish mother, he's Jewish - which cannot disappear even through conversion to another religion because Judaism is a nationality as well as a religious faith.

nationality: The status of belonging to a particular nation, whether by birth or naturalization.

Wow. I mean, imagine a France that has a foreign policy and attitude towards Israel that coincides with President Bush's policies. This is very good news.

Except about the part where we surrender to Mexico, of course.

"This guy looks better every time I read something about him."

Half of Sarkozy's announced cabinet is either a Jew or publicly pro-Israel before their appointment.

Amen to that!

Interesting you mention the Russian Mafia as I think vermin like that are going to become more problematic as the next few years role by, Russia is itself in danger of becoming a facist state so we'll have to hope for a big uprising there.

Thankfully we now have people like Sarkozy here in Europe who will take no s***t from facists or Islamists.

It may be a far leap to consider that Sarkozy’s Jewish ancestry may have any bearing on his policies vis-à-vis Israel.
It has to have some bearing. He will at least be interested in some sort of fairness in policy matters involving Israel. Unlike previous French leaders, who weren't interested in fairness at all. This is a big change.

His background was no secret, it came up a bit on the right, just wasn't an issue.

Uh...the Information Age has bred skeptics quick to detect the absence of the ring of truth. (I.e., the BS alarm just went off.)
