Serge Klarsfeld.

And here we go, the process of forgetting has begun, aided and abetted by Jews themselves.

Israel is not Judaism. It is not anti-Semitic to oppose actions of the Israeli state, no matter how loudly the Israeli far-right screams otherwise. Certainly there are anti-Semites who oppose Israel because it's Jewish, but there are also anti-Semites who support Israel as a ghetto for Jews and will loudly proclaim their support of Israel to shield themselves from accusations of anti-Semitism.

Make no mistake, the people who proclaim that a state is only for certain people are anti-Semitic. They may hide it now, but eventually they will get to the Jews as they always do.

The left, even the far-left, for all of its faults, bases itself on multi-culturalism. In fact, this is why you see so much anti-Israel feeling on the left these days; the left in the western world is currently incorporating people of Arab and particularly Palestinian descent who, for many valid reasons, feel victimized by Israel. This is, naturally, a friction point with many Jews, but it's one that we can talk about and work through and will likely end with some sort of compromise.

To summarize, anti-Semitism is a core value of the political right, those who believe that there are different types of people and only one belongs. Don't get me wrong, anti-Semitism exists on the political left as well, but it's not core the belief and tends to flare up only in the context of some sort of conflict rather than when they feel they have the power to move against us as with the political right.

If you're Jewish, or if you care about Jewish people, the political right will always be a greater threat than the political left. The fact that even those who lived through the terror of the triumph of the political far-right long ago can forget that tells you everything you need to know about the current moment.

Amir Tibon sur le régime sioniste et le Rassemblement National

Le virage prosioniste du Rassemblement National, amorcé il y a un peu plus d’une dizaine d’années alors que ce parti s’appelait encore Front National, est maintenant achevé. Si les idées antisémites, au sens d’hostilité à l’égard des Juifs, sont évidemment toujours présentes au niveau de la base du parti, elles ont disparu du vocabulaire de ses dirigeants qui se présentent même comme les…

Historien français de la Shoah : « La principale menace qui pèse sur les Juifs français vient de l’extrême gauche »

Les grands médias français ont discuté toute la semaine de la déclaration de Serge Klarsfeld – le célèbre « chasseur de nazis », historien de l’Holocauste et autorité morale en France, qui a pris la défense du parti d’extrême droite du Rassemblement national de Marine Le Pen. Le passé antisémite du Rassemblement national a longtemps aliéné les électeurs juifs français. Le fondateur du parti,…

Zoé Valdés | Ciotti, Klasferld, 'los intransigentes'

Origen: Zoé Valdés | Ciotti, Klasferld, ‘los intransigentes’

[zvaigzdelasas]

Covering an entire classroom wall in a Tunisian synagogue in Belleville, an immigrant haven on the slopes of northeastern Paris, are the names of 1,100 Jewish children who were arrested by French police, deported to Auschwitz and killed by the Nazis during World War II.[...]

Despite this dark history, some Jews in Belleville are doing the once unthinkable and voting in France’s National Assembly election for the far-right National Rally party, which is leading in polls for Sunday’s runoff.

One of the party’s founders, Pierre Bousquet, was a French fighter in Hitler’s Waffen-SS. Another, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who led the party from its birth in 1972 until 2011, dismissed Nazi gas chambers as a “detail” of history.[...]

It’s also a measure of how much the French left has enraged Jewish voters with its ferocious attacks on Israel and Zionism as it tries to build support among French Muslims, a substantially larger group of voters.[...]

Judith Benchetrit said she’d voted for the National Rally in the first round — and asked whether anyone else had watched a harrowing TV documentary the night before about the Oct. 7 attack.

It was her deep loathing of the far-left France Unbowed movement and its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, that led her to back the far right.

Mélenchon “campaigns on Palestine, so now he’s got all the Palestinians and every Arab in France behind him,” said Benchetrit, who is 32 and unemployed.

The National Rally has recast itself as an ally of Jews and Israel. If the party wins a majority in the assembly, its leader, Jordan Bardella, could become prime minister, putting France under the far right’s control for the first time since the fall of the Vichy regime that collaborated with the German occupation from 1940 to 1944.[...]

Sonia Lelloum, a daughter of Tunisian Jewish immigrants, said she’d resisted the temptation to vote for the National Rally in previous elections because of its Nazi ties. This time, she said, she went ahead and did it because she likes the party’s crusade against immigration.[...]

Most worrisome to [some] is the constant confounding of Israel, Zionism and Jews.[...]

One of the most stunning illustrations of the new opening to the far right came last month when the renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld, 88, an icon to many Jews in France, told French television that if forced to choose between the National Rally and the country’s largest left-wing party, France Unbowed, he would pick the National Rally.

By now it should be clear, the Left is dangerous to everyone. The deviant, irrational, tyrannical, beliefs and theories, destroy individuality, liberty, decency, freedom, debate, and everything else a society needs to function and be healthy.

Una nota de la Unión Franco-judía por la Paz a propósito del apoyo de la derecha sionista francesa a los neofascistas... muchas personalidades judías, sin duda contaminadas por sus nuevos amigos, se vuelcan en el racismo más desenfrenado... La ideología de Netanyahu y de los dirigentes que dicen representar a los judíos franceses no procede de una corriente liberal o democrática... El concepto de Estado étnicamente puro que se aplica en Israel tiene su origen en el nacionalismo antisemita europeo... Los judíos franceses deben comprender que semejante movimiento no sólo es inmoral. Es suicida. Y quienes acusan a la izquierda de antisemitismo deberían recordar que cuando los judíos luchaban por su emancipación como minoría oprimida, también luchaban, con la izquierda, por la emancipación de la humanidad... ¿Mejor Hitler que el Frente Popular?

Serge Klarsfeld, ebreo, famosissimo in Francia per la sua attività di cacciatore di nazisti ha suscitato un enorme clamore perché ha dichiarato che al primo turno voterà, come ha sempre fatto, per Renaissance, il partito centrista di Emmanuel Macron, ma che al secondo turno voterà per il Rassemblement National di Marine Le Pen. La ragione di questa dichiarazione che ha sconvolto molti è netta: «L’asse della mia vita è la difesa della memoria ebraica, la difesa degli ebrei perseguitati, la difesa di Israele, valori incompatibili con un’estrema sinistra che è sotto l’influenza di La France Insoumise, con accenni di antisemitismo e violento antisionismo».

Serges Klarsfeld, l'archétype de "l'Honnête homme" aujourd'hui ! Par Philippe ARNON

La France a toujours été un pays de divisions, d’affrontements, de haine et de cruauté. C’est comme si les Français se plaisaient à se rassembler uniquement dans le but de s’entredéchirer. C’est comme si c’était leur seule raison de faire communauté. Ils ne connaissent pas la nuance, la tolérance, la nécessité d’écouter paisiblement l’autre, de “se frotter” à lui comme disait Montaigne pour aller…
