I will not give myself the ridiculousness of discussing the resolution requesting a boycott of Israel, tabled by thirty-eight deputies of this extreme left which does not exist, for lack of naming it, inspired by an imaginary Islamo-leftism, invented seems it from scratch by the far right.
As a matter of principle, I refuse to argue against anti-Semitism when I feel it in my educated flesh.
When I know the insult to disqualify - nazism or apartheid - deliberately replaced the documented argument.
When I see an obsessive resentment, like filing a resolution, all business ceasing, just days after their election, while France is struggling in immense and urgent difficulties.
When a disproportionate double standard is applied to the individual Jew or the Jewish State, while one turns a blind eye to Islamic terrorism which massacres in Israel - Palestine Jews or seven hundred Christians in the last three months in Nigeria in silence .
When finally the state of the Jewish people is treated like the Jew of the states.
I know very well who I have to deal with.
And I don't argue.
The only double and sad interest of this new leftist parliamentary clowning is to note once again that anti-Semitism, in France, is essentially embodied by the extreme left in its most dangerous political or intellectual manifestation.
And that this leftist anti-Semitism corresponds very exactly to the portrait of the overthrown Jew, as hated yesterday by the extreme right.
This leftist Palestinianism, which blindly espouses the Arab narrative of Palestine, is only an avatar of Islamo-leftism.
Gilles-William Goldnadel
More generally, my reader knows well that the fight that I lead against the dangers of an extreme left treated with too much benevolent indulgence is my first fight.
It is in this context that I recently published, on purpose to provoke debate, a
Handbook of Resistance to Far Left Fascism.
Of course, in one chapter, I wanted to make a special mention of the pathological anti-Zionism of the extreme left, which is, in my opinion, one of the most obvious manifestations of its fascistic drift.
Before explaining that this leftist Palestinianism, which blindly espouses the Arab narrative of Palestine, is only an avatar of Islamo-leftism, I would like to write that it is perfectly possible to be sensitive to the Palestinian Arab cause without being a Palestinian.
I have always maintained that the Arabs of Palestine had a good file which they had lamentably sacrificed on the altar of an Islamo-nationalism closed to any territorial compromise.
All the governments of the Israeli left from Fathers to Barak will have proposed to the representatives of the Arabs of Palestine the control of almost all of the disputed territories, including part of Jerusalem - East.
The end of a State for the Jewish people on the smallest part of a territory which they consider as theirs for historical-religious reasons, interests them much more than the creation of yet another Arab-Muslim state on a territory coveted by two peoples with competing legitimate rights.
This deploration of the absence of a partner for a definitive peace through a territorial compromise which requires two, certainly does not make me forget the mediocrity of the Israeli political personnel, recruited by an electoral system with full proportional representation that is criminogenic.
But even the most enlightened of Israeli politicians is not able to remedy an Islamic-Palestinian irredentism fascinated by terrorist and anti-Semitic violence that, precisely, far-left Palestinians watch with fondness.
Thus, the extreme left shows benevolence towards the terrorist movement stemming from the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, fundamentally and officially anti-Semitic, which regularly sends missiles into Israel, while it watches the replication of the Israeli democratic state with severe unlimited bounded.
For the first, maximum indulgence and compassion;
for the second, detestation and indifference towards its inhabitants.
This leftist indifference to the fate of Jews in Israel is of the same stale water as that which stares blankly at French Jews being massacred by homegrown or imported Islamists.
I come to mutant anti-Semitism, as I had already described it in
the New Breviary of Hate
(Ramsay 2001).
The far-right fascist abhorred the stereotype of the spineless, stateless Moth Jew.
The far-left fascist abhors the stereotype of the nationalistic and belligerent Jew.
Gilles-William Goldnadel
It must be understood that in the unconscious of the Islamo-leftist, the most fanatical Palestinian Arab is lovable because he embodies otherness and the Israeli Jew detestable because he defends the borders of a nation-state. Westerner, like a common French patriot wearing a beret.
Let's go further: while the extreme left adores the deported Jew in striped pajamas, it sees the Israeli who defends himself as a white square.
The far-right fascist abhorred the stereotype of the spineless, stateless Moth Jew.
The far-left fascist abhors the stereotype of the nationalistic and belligerent Jew.
“Tell me how you are, I'll tell you how I hate you
,” the timeless anti-Semite tells the Jew of the present.
With the help of this explanatory description of an anti-Semitic virus mutating through Jewish history, we can understand that those in France who take without hesitation at face value the accusations of a family of delinquents rather than the assertions of the French police whom they accuse of being systemic racists, are very exactly the same who see no harm in Hamas blindly bombarding the Israeli population but see as infamy the obligation to retaliate against it by targeting the terrorists but at the risk to reach civilians deliberately used as shields.
It is therefore under the influence of this ideology, which is not characterized by its subtlety, that in France, the PCF, the Insoumis or a few ecologists in perdition politically incarnate this viral Islamo-leftism, as much by lethal ideological passion as by vital electoral necessity.
This is how Mélenchon has always supported the anti-Semite Corbyn.
It is also the head of insubordinate France, David Guiraud (signatory of the aforementioned parliamentary resolution) who, last May, did not hesitate on Twitter to make believe that young Jews were dancing with joy at the sight of the mosque. Al Aksa on fire.
It was just two trees in flames .... Although I had denounced this false information and the very serious Samira El Gadir, lie tracker on TF1, followed me, our political arsonist of suburbs has not given up its flammable firebrand.
However, from Ilan Halimi to Mireille Knoll, passing through the hyperkosher and Mohammed Merah, the Islamic danger for French Jews is neither speculation nor fantasy.
But one cannot apprehend this perversion of political Islamo-leftism without noting the associative or media excesses of the last decade.
On the media level, Palestinianism benefits from a firepower identical to its Islamo-leftist ideological matrix.
Gilles-William Goldnadel
Thus, Amnesty International, which has specifically accused Israel against the blinding factual evidence of apartheid practices, is no longer that respectable organization which once had the noble aim of freeing prisoners incarcerated for political reasons.
Amnesty is now a left-leaning NGO which militates in favor of illegal migrants and its new president had already discredited herself by relaying, on social networks, false information accusing Israel of having poisoned Arafat, which even the widow of this last, Souha, does not support …
On the media level, Palestinianism benefits from a firepower identical to its Islamo-leftist ideological matrix.
The same newspapers developing the theme of a racist French police have, logically, espoused the tendency towards infinite severity for one and unlimited indulgence for the Other.
It is thus, to take only the most bizarre example, that
Le Monde
(which also officially supported Corbyn against Johnson in an editorial) is now regularly publishing the unilateral articles of a militant journalist, Clothilde Mraffko , who, at the same time, in a review Middle East Eye, financed according to
La Tribune
, by the Muslim Brotherhood, accuses the Zionists of having disfigured Palestine by planting trees and draining marshes.
The shameful resolution of misguided parliamentarians is therefore only the last avatar without major consequences of this political and media Islamo leftism that the inconsequential moral arrogance cannot see in the face.
I saw that the organized Jewish community wanted to denounce it.
Let those who have been crying out in the desert for too long that it is not the ghostly far right the danger but the far left in media majesty, murmur that better late than never.
But that it is all the same very late for the French Jews.
