The need to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish life in Europe, following the recent attacks against the Jewish community in the Netherlands and Belgium (debate)
Madam President, Liège, Rotterdam, the same day in Amsterdam: Anti-Semitic cancer does not loosen its grip, even in the city of Anne Frank. Yesterday it was Paris or Toulouse; Today, London; Tomorrow, Berlin or Madrid. But we are neither novelists nor journalists. We must, as politicians, name the culprits and act. We know these culprits, we hear them, we see them and we cross them into the walls of this Parliament. The culprit is the one who offers anti-Semitism an alibi and thus arms his arm. The culprit is the old alliance of Islamism and the far left since 1972, at the Olympics, in Munich, or a few kilometers from Paris, today, where the Muslim Brotherhood and France insoumise together claim their hatred of Israel and their contempt for Jews. But the culprits are also their allies, who are found on the left and sometimes also in the center, who, to save their elections, are ready to dance on the ashes of Gaza, this macabre round of the supposedly antifascist and resolutely anti-Semitic carnival. This morning again, at voting time, at 1:30 p.m., you rejected by a majority, any shame drunk, an amendment condemning the attacks on the Jewish community. I was very proud to be in opposition.
