He was particularly moved. The related LR deputy of French people abroad Meyer Habib, Franco-Israeli, spoke before the National Assembly on Tuesday during the traditional questions to the government. Many deputies, including Meyer Habib, took the opportunity to question the executive on the situation in Israel, four days after the attacks launched by Hamas on Israeli land.

“50 years to the day, after the war started on Yom Kippur, we have just experienced September 11 of the Jewish State,” the MP first said, on the verge of tears. “Islamist barbarity has struck women, children, babies, old people, entire families decimated. Women were raped, bodies mutilated, filmed and exhibited in front of a crowd galvanized by hatred of the Jew,” he continued.

“I did not think that anti-Semitism would be unleashed openly on the left of these benches”

“Hamas is Daesh. Never since the tragedy of the Shoah have so many Jews been massacred on the same day,” Meyer Habib then said. “Make no mistake, this is a war against our civilization, not a war for territory, for colonies. Hamas wants a state in place of Israel, not next to Israel.”

At the conclusion of his speech, the LR deputy addressed left-wing elected officials, particularly targeting those from France Insoumise, whose position on the conflict has been criticized for several days. “Since the Assembly voted full powers to Marshal Pétain, I did not think that anti-Semitism would be unleashed openly on the left of these benches,” launched Meyer Habib.
