French minister: ‘Hatred of Jews comes essentially from the Arab-Muslim world’

"Islamism makes hatred of the Jews its matrix and its main objective,’’ said former French prime minister Manuel Valls.​

Hatred of the Jews now comes mainly from the Arab-Muslim world, French Minister of Overseas Manuel Valls said earlier this week.


In an interview with CNEWS-Europe 1 on Monday, Valls reacted to anti-Jewish slogans chanted at anti-racist demonstrations over the weekend.


“What has changed over the last twenty-five years is that this hatred of Jews comes essentially from the Arab-Muslim world, in France as elsewhere,” he said. “Islamism makes hatred of the Jews its matrix and its main objective,’’ added the former prime minister.


The statement echoes the words of French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, who has said that antisemitism now wears a “double face” in France, “Islamism and the far left,” while far-right anti-Semitism has become “residual.”


In an article published in the Le Monde daily of Friday, over 200 personalities pleaded “so that anti-Zionism no longer serves as a pretext for antisemitism”.

“It’s up to the Republic to protect Jews,’’ they wrote, denouncing “anti-Zionism” as a “pretext for antisemitism.”


“Anti-Zionism is all the rage,” begins the article, written by the “Nous vivrons” collective set up in the wake of the unprecedented Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.


“The message is simple: Zionism is colonialism that must be eliminated,” the letter states.


Signatories include Yonathan Arfi, president of Crif, the umbrella body of French Jewish institutions, former French premier Gabriel Attal, former French president François Hollande, philosopher Elisabeth Badinter, Minister for Equality between Women and Men Aurore Bergé, actress Charlotte Gainsbourg and writer Anne Sinclair.


“Since Oct. 8, 2023, we have witnessed a relativism of the massacres of Oct. 7, 2023, and a condemnation of Zionism. In short, if the Jews hadn’t been there, all this wouldn’t have happened,” the letter continues, noting that “according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior, a third of the antisemitic acts recorded in 2024 were motivated by the Palestinian cause.’’

Not all Jewish people are Zionists, and not everyone who identifies as a Zionist is Jewish.

Jews freely travel into Palestine or any Arab nation with zero consequence. Even if their race are made known.
Some of the biggest Jewish cities before creation of Israel were in Morocco, Cairo, Baghdad and Tehran.

I thought that in Malaysia, it is sleep under the coconut tree all day and wait for govt handouts.

 

[True Believer]

Back in 2005, Malaysian PM Abdullah Badawi correctly said that for Malaysia to be a developed nation, it must rid itself of 3 addictions i.e. cheap foreign labour, subsidies and favours or connections. Malaysians, he said, seemed to think that someone else, at the very least the govt, owes them a living but he warned that the govt could no longer sustain the cost of maintaining such "props" to competitiveness.

 

[True Believer]

Mahathir Mohamad spent 20 years advising, threatening and crying for Malays to stand on their own 2 feet without govt handouts, but nothing changed. A year after his retirement, Mahathir criticised unemployed Malay graduates. Their situation was due to choosing the wrong courses and also because many could not even speak English. He said: "I remember we (the govt) got companies to hire unemployed (Malay) graduates and pay them RM400 each but when they got the job, they refused to do anything because it was not their line and they didn't want to learn. They were just marking time. Obviously, these people do not have the right attitude towards work".

I thought this whole thread is about Jews in Arab land.

I thought this whole thread is about Jews in Arab land.

The original Jews or ancient Israelites, lived in the region of Canaan which is modern day Israel, the Palestinian territories and parts of Jordan and Lebanon before 1,000 BC. Jewish history is rooted in the fertile crescent and the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
