invited its readers to comment on an Opinion Piece
about Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the near-Stalinist
'leader of the French Left'.
Mélenchon and the Judeophobe left.
This whole complex and
tangled issue could certainly do without Walter-Ulbricht Mélenchon sticking his
rotting, anti-Jewish oar into the m
[Please can we stop
using 'anti-semitic' to mean anti-Jewish ? Most of the people of the
Middle East are Semites (Sons of Shem rather than Ham). Iranians are the big
Indo-European exception.]
It is very hard to be
pro-Jewish as I am, while being anti-Israel. Israeli policy towards the
Palestinians is not so different to that of people of the Western Russian
Empire towards Jews. After independence, Arabs were progressively
stripped of rights and protections. So now, little by little, Israel has
created a burgeoning world-wide dislike of its Jewish inhabitants (increasingly
right-wing and narrowly Hasidic as they have streamed from Russia and Eastern Europe
over the past 30 years) because of its anti-Palestinian policies, which are not
even 'inclusivist' - as is the mendacious pretence here in France.
