French Election Becomes ‘Nightmare’ for Nation’s Jews

The place of Jews in French society has emerged as a prominent theme in the election because the once-antisemitic National Rally party of Marine Le Pen, whose anti-immigrant position lies at the core of its fast-growing popularity, has been one of the most emphatic supporters of Israel and French Jews since the Hamas-led terrorist attack of Oct. 7 on Israel.

Huh weird that the ethnonationalists are on the same sids as israel

Mr. Mélenchon’s France Unbowed, by contrast, has been vehement in its denunciation of Israel’s military operation in Gaza as “genocide.”

rat-salute-2

The confrontation of an abruptly pro-Israeli National Rally, whose antisemitic founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, described the Holocaust as “a detail” of history, with a far left that Mr. Macron described last week as “guilty of antisemitism” has confronted French Jews and others with an agonizing choice.

The choice being, do I side with the group that minimizes the Holocaust and supports the current genocide, or the side that doesn't? Hmm damn what a choice

Can they really bring themselves to vote for Ms. Le Pen’s party, given its history of antisemitism and its xenophobic determination to seek a ban on the public use of the Muslim head scarf if elected, out of loathing for Mr. Mélenchon’s France Unbowed?

He argued that the campaign of France Unbowed had been based on “hatred of Israel” and cited Aymeric Caron, a lawmaker who is a member of the New Popular Front coalition that left-wing parties have formed, as suggesting Jews were inhuman.

Damn suggesting Jews are inhuman, that sounds really bad, let's read on

On May 27, Mr. Caron said on the social platform X, “It is evident that Gaza has shown that, no, we do not belong to the same human species.” He was referring to supporters of the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

Oh, he's saying that supporters of this genocide are inhuman

Supporters of the Israeli genocide

is-this is this Jewishness?

New York Crimes just repeating almost verbatim their analysis of Hitler as not really being that serious about the antisemitism thing.

This is the dangerous flip side of “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism,” any support of Israel must mean that the supporter is not antisemitic, regardless of how blatantly bigoted they are against Jews.

Jean-Marie Le Pen didn't just say the holocaust was a detail of history. He also said to several people faces they should have been put in the oven, created the party with known collaborationists, and.... you know what the list is too long.
