Journalist says ‘ashamed to be French’ after Macron’s criticism of Israel

French journalist Philippe Val lambastes his leader’s criticism of Israel amid the war in Gaza and Lebanon.

Israel’s Channel 12 airs a recent segment on Europe 1 Radio in which Val invites listeners to imagine if France had been under extended attack by enemies, displacing large segments of the population.

“Imagine under what mental strain France and its people would be if we were in Israel’s place,” he says.

“The demands from Israel are too high,” he said. “It is asked to live under the threat of terrorism, unretrained antisemitism and boundless barbarism but to maintain a good image.”

As for French President Emmanuel Macron’s criticism of the war’s conduct and his call to stop supplying offensive weapons to the Jewish state, Val says: “For the first time in a long time I was ashamed to be French. I wanted to tell Israelis I’m sorry. Do not mistakenly think all French think like the president that represents us. Believe us, the vast majority of the French stands by you.”

Imagine? Cue laughing clarinet...

Imagine Mohammedan France
Where the ladies no longer wear pants,
And where, deep in the Bois,
Mama Marianne's roi
Is rehearsing Mohammedan dance.
