UPDATE on the Macron Faux Pas

What does Macron’s Faux Pas tell us?

ArutzSheva writer Jack Engelhard tells us:

Israeli officers were on the job, to protect visitors, dignitaries especially at this time of heightened awareness, but Macron preferred no Jews, only French “security forces.”

Like the security forces who surrendered to the Germans after six weeks? No wonder the Israelis were worried.

Macron, among the world leaders in Israel for Holocaust Remembrance, was only doing what comes naturally, and historically…pushing Jews around.

Shoving Israelis aside, and making a scene of it, gives the appearance of a man who intends to show who’s boss.

The cameras were clicking. The world was watching. He took the moment to make a point.

Like it was Once Upon a Time in Europe, and there was no Israel to rescue the remnants whose fate was left to the tender mercies of, say, the gendarmes, who normally rounded up, for deportation, twice the number of Jews, including children, roused from their sleep, that the Gestapo had requested.

Fortunately, times have changed. When it’s all over, he goes. Israel stays.
