Some people think that Sarkozy is a silly idea.
going solely by the context in this thread, he’s right, actually. a state is a political, legal entity. it’s is inanimate.
Google “French War Victories” and find out who the “Silly” really are.
So, Sarkozy thinks Iran is not a Muslim state? Oh really...
I am really starting to not like Sarkozy.
Don’t mess with Israel.
The french always resented that the brits robbed them from taking Palestine from the Ottomans whom they had both made war with in order to have territory to bribe Italians and Greeks into making war with the Austro Hungarians, by thinking to “give” it to the jews, yet they held fast, defied the brits and took Lebanon (with Syria), because it was “Christian”.
And isn’t Sarkosy a Hungarian and jewish?
We’re on a carousel
A crazy carousel,
we’re on a ferris wheel,
a crazy ferris wheel
a wheel within a wheel,

This anti-Israel garbaaaaaage from La France began with Charles de Gaulle after the Six Day War in 1967. The IDF air force won their victories with French built Mirage and Mystere jet fighters but in 1968 de Gaulle cancelled existing military contracts and spare parts replacement. Soon afterward Paris was in flames (pre-Muslim) and de Gaulle himself was gone after that.
If Sarkozy is trying to placate the muzzies then he’s even stupider than we thought. Not even the insufferably arrogant “le grand Charles” would have dared question the legitimacy of the Jewish state. Disgraceful!
European Catholics carry antisemitic DNA.
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.
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.
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.
