It seems to me that anyone who supported the overthrow of Mohammar Qaddafi in Libya deserves condemnation. Europe would not be overrun by millions of Muslim and African migrants if that had not happened.
Most Jews of course take no position in such controversies because they are busy with work, education, family and communal obligations, but those elite Jews who push destructive policies invite confrontation.
If Bernard-Henri Levy really was a “Talmudic philosopher”, he would have been less likely to push such disastrous policy. Jews who study the most Talmud say the least about gentile politics.
PARIS (JTA) — French Jews condemned what they termed an anti-Semitic demonstration in the heart of the French capital against the Jewish public intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy.
The event took place on Oct. 31 on St. Germain Boulevard, where a dozen-odd far-right demonstrators from the Renouveau Français group (“French Reneweal”) convened with posters accusing Levy — a celebrity and supporter of France’s military intervention in Libya — of fomenting war for profit.
The protesters shouted slogans accusing Levy of being a “Talmudic philosopher” who is “waging Zionist war” and who should be “stripped of the French nationality and extradited to Israel,” according to a statement published Thursday by the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities titled “Anti-Semitic demonstration in the heart of Paris.”
