Yesterday\u2019s Jerusalem Post headlines were screaming bloody murder against the French president Emanuel Macron. \u2018Shame on them!\u2019: PM Netanyahu slams Macron\u2019s call for arms embargo on Israel\u201d<\/a>, screamed one headline. \u201cThe assault on Judaism, France takes the lead<\/a>\u201d. Screamed another.<\/p>\n

In the latter there is an interesting paragraph:<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps it is time for France to accept responsibility for the murder of its Jews and, for its own sake, pay compensation to its Jewish victims, just as Germany does. Perhaps if France pays for its role in the 20th Century assault on Judaism, it would be less enthusiastic about taking a leading role in the 21st Century assault on Judaism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAssault on Judaism\u201d?!\u00a0\u201cPay compensation for Jewish victims\u201d?! France is harvesting what it sowed when it accepted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance IHRA\u2019s definition of Antisemitism<\/a> and when it promoted \u201cIsrael as the State of the Jewish people\u201d and equated the criticism of Israel with antisemitism, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Like a boomerang thrown by a novice, every action taken by France in support of such positions is circling back and hitting that country where it hurts.<\/p>\n

Although the IHRA definition seems benign, its guiding examples include: \u201cClaiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor\u201d, or \u201cDrawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.\u201d (Please refer to IHRA website<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Macron\u2019s call for arms embargo against Israel is therefore translated as \u201cdenying the Jewish people their right to self-defense\u201d, an \u201cattack on Judaism itself\u201d, and a \u201cpromotion of a new Holocaust\u201d! Israel\u2019s response was so harsh because it needed to set an example via Macron and France: back off on cutting our arms supply or else. And, should France and Macron not understand this, the threat is obvious: \u201cWe shall make you pay compensation for the Jews killed in France during WWII in the same way that Germany has been paying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Israel really worried about its weapons of mass destruction being cut off? No, of course not. These are coming from the USA, and as Professor John Mearsheimer keeps reminding us, \u201cIsrael and the USA are joined at the hip\u201d.<\/p>\n

\nIs this call by France a late awakening of its conscience because of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon? Not really. The Americans have been elbowing the French out of the Middle East, and there seems to be a final kick in the works vis-\u00e0-vis oil exploration in the Mediterranean, hence the French outcry.<\/p>\n

For France, it is too little too late, and for the rest of the world, Israel\u2019s message is: watch and learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
