Blast from the past : 2001-05-16 european parliament debate excerpt
This came to my mind because of the recent jacques myard proposal for France to use its Military Might(Tm) to rein in Israel. The whole debate is pretty instructive, see for example Überdhimmi anna lindh after whom was named an Eurabia institute (cf. #3), but this paul-marie couteaux gets to be the most outrageous one. This guy is now with Philippe De Villiers, catholic conservative sovereignty pol, interesting in his denunciation of France islamization and who cannot be suspected of antisemitism (he's pretty popular among french jews), but who is very suspect in my eyes with such companions. Coûteaux (EDD). (FR) Madam President, the most surprising thing about our debate is our surprise, for Israel's expansionist policy is the inevitable and predictable result of the growing imbalance in the region, the stability for which we bear much of the responsibility. Firstly that is because since 1967 most of our states, with the notable exception of France, have continued to give the State of Israel a state that is growing increasingly self-assured and domineering the impression that it can violate international law and UN resolutions with impunity. In reality, here as elsewhere we have followed Washington and persist in closing our eyes to the theocratic excesses of this religious state whose governments are under the thumb of fanatical parties and minorities that are just as bad as the other groups of religious fanatics in the region. That is why we should envisage imposing sanctions on Israel. There is, however, another serious imbalance for which we are in part responsible, namely the imbalance of forces. I have no hesitation in saying that we must consider giving the Arab side a large enough force, including a large enough nuclear force, to persuade Israel that it cannot simply do whatever it wants. That is the policy my country pursued in the 1970s when it gave Iraq a nuclear force. We have now destroyed it. So we will carry on with our policy of imbalance and what is happening today is merely the annoying but inevitable result of our collective blindness and cowardice.
