Gilles-William Goldnadel is a lawyer and essayist. Every week, he deciphers the news for FigaroVox.
He has just published War Journal. It is the West that is being assassinated (Fayard), he writes. He is surprised that part of the left prefers to support an authoritarian regime rather than a democratic state. He says: "There is a pathological hatred among them among them, anti-Westernism, among them a hatred of Israel" It takes character to support a huge oil country of 90 million inhabitants against a small nation of 9 million citizens, surrounded by enemies, he says. He adds: "It is strange as well as regrettable, in the dramatic context that we know, that the international press did not give more importance to this important judicial event" It was a bit hasty to forget the attack perpetrated in 1992 against the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in Argentina, a country with which Iran was not in a state of belligerence.
