Le Pen used to be one for sure (he made nasty remarks about the Holocaust), but after he married he claimed it changed. His wife has got some very good frieds who are Jews, and he says he changed.

He also was about the only politician siding with the Jews when the French Arabs started it bring to intifada to France. But that was around election time.

I don't know if he really changed though. I don't trust him.

But Chirac is one. Such remaks can only come from Jew-haters. France also opposed Israel much more than any other EU country. And we all know who is in charge of France.

PS Chirac is not really right-winged. In Europe he may sound right, but compared to US standards he is more center.

"He also was about the only politician siding with the Jews when the French Arabs started it bring to intifada to France"

I would say that has more to do with the fact that he despises Arabs even more than Jews, rather than having common ground with Jews.

In France, anything short of active marxism is right wing. Compared to America, Chirac would be a Clintonesque Democrat, imho.
