| 00:00 | | We need to make a distinction between the long term and the short term. |
| 00:03 | | In the short term it’s true that Jews will be able to remain in Europe. |
| 00:06 | | It’s the demography that drives that, so we won’t be able to move that much. |
| 00:09 | | Jews won’t really have a place. That’s what happened in Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. |
| 00:13 | | Jews had to leave for reasons like that. |
| 00:16 | | I know that the Jews of France know, clearly know, that their grandchildren won’t stay in France. |
| 00:21 | | They know. Practically no one, or very few people, |
| 00:24 | | think that their grandchildren will be able to live in France |
| 00:27 | | with the ongoing situation, with the economic decline, demographic change, |
| 00:31 | | resurgence of anti-Semitism. Things are extremely clear, and they are written in the long term. |
| 00:35 | | In the short term, people have a hard time packing their bags. For me, |
| 00:39 | | I mean that they look at the long term, a bit like the professor at the University of Haifa. |
| 00:43 | | In the long term, we know that the Jews will have to leave. But no. What will happen? |
| 00:46 | | Is it good or not? It’s not really the subject, but we have the plans to welcome them. |
| 00:49 | | I know that you have worked a lot, especially at the level of government. |
| 00:52 | | Yes, I wrote the plans for Netanyahu, for the Alliance of Jews of France. We know that we are… |
| 00:55 | | It’s nothing. It means that 100,000 Jews of France will come. We know how to manage that. |
| 01:00 | | I mean, we had 200,000 people arriving, during the war in Ukraine. It’s not even a subject. |
| 01:04 | | It’s a non-subject. Israel will do what it can to welcome them, |
| 01:08 | | but that’s not how it happens when we’re in a dangerous situation. |
| 01:11 | | When there’s a dangerous situation, the situation in France… You have to open your eyes a bit |
| 01:15 | | and look at what’s happening. Macron is approaching La France Insoumise [hard left] |
| 01:19 | | and he’s saying… Ask the Qataris. Just imagine. It’s an epiphenomenon. |
| 01:24 | | The Qatari army and the Qatari tanks that roll in the streets of Paris. What does that mean? |
| 01:30 | | The Qataris are the ones who finance Hamas. They are the biggest funders |
| 01:34 | | of all of Islamism in Europe. |
| 01:37 | | So it’s about… Can you imagine if instead of Qatar, we were to have the Israeli army? |
| 01:41 | | Can you imagine that in France? Can you imagine that? How would the people in the streets react? |
| 01:45 | | They would throw bombs. They would attack the small armed groups. |
| 01:49 | | So we have something. It’s a form of concession, of redemption in the face of something. |
| 01:53 | | We’re saying that since the Qataris are the only ones who can stop the riots in Gaza |
| 01:56 | | or in the suburbs… Remember, last June 500 cities rose up, 50,000 young people took to the streets. |
| 02:02 | | It was stopped by barons of drug dealing. So the danger, in truth, is there, |
| 02:06 | | Islamists wanting to conquer Europe. It’s extremely clear. |
| 02:11 | | They want to conquer Europe. They have wanted that since October 7. October 7 was, for them, |
| 02:14 | | a mythological moment which, all of a sudden, gave them their dignity back, |
| 02:17 | | their will to conquer the world. And they attack with either soft power, or hard power, |
| 02:22 | | or the threat of rioting, or terrorist attacks. And on the other side, with the people who arrive |
| 02:27 | | in suits and ties and take up all the positions within the institutions. So we’re dealing |
| 02:30 | | with a phenomenon that is much bigger. We can understand the concept of saying that it’s good |
| 02:34 | | that the Jews will live in the diaspora. In 2000, we could go to London, we could go to New York. |
| 02:37 | | Today, there’s not really anywhere to go. There’s not really anywhere to go. |
| 02:41 | | So will Jews come, despite them? They don’t know. It’s incredible! |
| 02:45 | | Me, from Jerusalem, I’m going to tell you that the Jews will come and they don’t know it yet. |
| 02:49 | | They’re not going to come right away, because that’s not how it works in the short term. |
| 02:53 | | But in the long term, they will end up coming. The long term means several decades, |
| 02:57 | | at least, certainly. But at a certain point, they’re not really going to have a choice. |
| 03:01 | | They will be pushed out. The only nationalism they can identify with is the Israeli one. |
| 03:07 | | You saw [Éric] Zemmour, who tried to claim a French nationalism, but they told him: |
| 03:11 | | “But you’re not one of us.” So if you want to have a strong identity, |
| 03:15 | | based on the land, the culture, inner coherence, participate in the project |
| 03:19 | | of the Jewish people who come back to their land, — excuse me for sounding like a bit Zionist — |
| 03:22 | | putting an end to 2,000 years of wandering, but this is where it happens. |
| 03:25 | | And here, we have our youth, who are full of enthusiasm, who are perhaps on the front, who fight, |
| 03:31 | | who are sometimes injured, but who fight and who manage to do incredible things, |
| 03:34 | | who turn out to be filled with energy and who want to build a country, an extremely clear project, |
| 03:38 | | a national solidarity which is extremely strong, because we have a project. We feel it. |
| 03:41 | | Energy is everywhere in Israel. So we can be afraid, |
| 03:45 | | but we have to look at it in a different way. |
