I guess Dreyfus was silly out there on Devil’s Island.
But the idea that France has been virulently antisemitic for a long time? Not so silly.
Oh, dear, Charles de Gaulle lives again.
The author seems to be blissfully unaware of that.
Satire, by definition is mostly silly fiction delivered with a straight face. Someone has seriously overreacted.
Il est fou.
According to Sarkozy, the fact that there are two million non-Jew citizens in Israel. How many non-Catholic citizens are there in the Vatican ?
Which points to what I think Israel should do to achieve peace with the Palestinians. Simply put: carve off a tiny slice of land that is most defensible from the Israel side, and forcibly deport all Palestinians to their new country. Give them nothing they want. No access to Jurusalem. No access to any part of the land Israel won by force of arms and still holds by force of arms. No monetary support. Just ignore them except for killing any invaders that try to cross the new border.
Well, he was nice while he lasted. Now I wouldn’t care if “yoots” paraded his severed head around on a pole. Thanks Nachum.
Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Looks to me like Sarko aimed his comments for external consumption—France’s Mediterranean partners, mostly Muslim and Arab in the scheme of things. France has oil interests in Libya and is Lebanon’s principal European sponsor. France has vast economic interests from Morocco to Iran. What are ya gonna do? France is France, and Sarko has been a better friend and ally to the US and Israel than anyone before him since the days before de Gaulle, who ruptured France’s close alliance with both countries.
Somebody needs to clue Nicky in that the Jewish state has been around since 1948. Its not like its a new idea.
Well, if the liberal-communists can get people to acting like America isn’t American, and Germany isn’t German, and England isn’t English, and Australia isn’t Aussie, etc, etc... I suppose anything is possible. Why not say Israel isn’t Jewish? It’s all part of the same post-national, one faceless mob of humanity, workers-of-the-world-unite rhetoric they’ve been spouting for years inbetween bong hits, after all.
I’m afraid Israel National News got taken. “Le Canard Enchaîne”is a satirical newspaper published weekly and features fake interviews. I’d wager that Sarkozy didn’t say anything like this at all.

Le Canard Enchainé is a French Left wing satirical weekly, similar to The Onion.
I have not been able to find the actual French article anywhere.
I find it hard to believe that a leader as diplomatically and politically astute as Sarko, would make such statements.
That being said, I would appreciate clarification from Élysée & Quai d’Orsay (equivalent of our State Department) as well as access to the original article.
Thank you. I agree completely. See my post on the subject. Sarko needs to distance himself if it is a lie from a joke paper.
The media in France is just as left wing, irresponsible and out of control there as it is here.
Oui, il est fou. Mais toute d’Europe est fou, aussi, parce qu’ils permettent les Musulmans leur propre système juridique.
