issues government television
The government would have preferred not to take a stand, but the constant presence of the Israeli-Arab conflict on our television screens made it an issue that could no longer be avoided.
marine want may
Marine Le Pen may want me dead, that's possible, but she must not count on my co-operation
war writing two
When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.
years law ideas
I have no idea what `classic anti-Semitism' is. I'm not familiar with this term. I don't know where it comes from and what connection it has to France and what is occurring here. There wasn't anti-Semitism in France. An isolated incident can always happen. When two drivers curse each other on the road, and one of them happens to be a Jew, you can't define that as anti-Semitism. In recent years - before the intifada - there were three or four incidents of anti-Semitism a year, and that's out of 18 million crimes and violations of the law.
country numbers squares
In France, at least the German occupation was not especially inhumane, even if there were a number of excesses - inevitable in a country of 550,000 square kilometres... If the Germans had carried out mass executions across the country as the received wisdom would have it, then there wouldn't have been any need for concentration camps for political deportees.
eye political rivals
Political rivals attacked me. I was savagely beaten. I was kicked in the face and I lost my eye as a result.
gas chamber gas-chambers
I'm not saying that the gas chambers didn't exist. I couldn't see them myself.
giving-up mean heaven
You must either suffer in this life or give up the hope of seeing God in Heaven. Sufferings and persecutions are of the greatest avail to us, because we can find therein a very efficient means to make atonement for our sins, since we are bound to suffer for them either in this world or in the next.
france anti-semitism
There wasn't anti-Semitism in France.
christian country hate
When Joan D' Arc was asked by her judges why as a Christian she did not love the British, she answered that she did love them, but she loved British in their country. In the same way, we do not hate the Turks, we love them, but in their country.
chinese vietnam genocide
Millions also perished in the Chinese camps, and there have been terrible genocides in Cambodia and Vietnam.
unique people world
After all, you're not exactly a nation like all the other nations. You are unique, if only because you are such an ancient people, and because of the way you are spread all over the world and your obvious success in many fields.
country islamic population
There is an Islamic population in France, most of which comes from the North African countries.
