Israel as the scapegoat – the tactic is as old as the Hebrew State. As old as the world, I should say because, beyond Israel, it is the Jews that the Iranian President is targeting.
Anti-Zionism, and everyone knows it, in many respects, is the contemporary form of anti-Semitism.
I deplore the lukewarm reactions in response to this declaration of war. Certainly we have heard some fine expressions of indignation, voices quivering with emotion. Has there been any threat of sanctions? Not one.
Has anyone pointed out Articles 39 to 41 of the United Nations Charter or demanded apologies? No, that’s not on the agenda.
I am just wondering what the outcry would have been if Ariel Sharon had called for Syria or Iran to be wiped off the map. Just by asking the question you have your answer and you can see the indifference, the staggering apathy of our Western leaders and of a considerable part of our media.
Let us make things clear. In attacking Israel it is us that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is targeting. His hatred of Israel is nothing other than hatred of all forms of democracy, which is incompatible with Muslim fundamentalism.
I cannot accept either the indifference of some people, or the half-heartedness of this text. That is the reason why I abstained."@en1
