And here is following in the footsteps of the bitter Aymeric Caron who wants to drag Haïm Korsia to Court for “apology for terrorism”, the newspaper that rivals “Le Monde” regarding its propaganda articles on Israel accusing Haïm Korsia of “fueling anti-Semitism”, no less. And since it does so through the voice and pen of “several Jewish civil personalities living in France”, Libé probably thinks it is exonerated of any malicious intent, except that the editorial staff and signatories smell very, very strongly of Schadenfreude: Imagine: publishing the thing, signed by “Jews”.

“Grand Rabbi Haim Korsia, by unreservedly approving the murderous military intervention led by the Israeli far-right government, can only fuel anti-Semitism, denounce several Jewish civilian figures living in France,” write the signatories, eagerly published by the newspaper.

“Stronger than the sword is my spirit”: this inscription engraved on the pediment of the Strasbourg synagogue does not seem to concern Haim Korsia, the Grand Rabbi of France. Reacting on Monday, August 26 on BFM TV to the attempted arson of the synagogue of La Grande-Motte that occurred on Saturday, August 24, he added to the condemnation of this act comments on the situation in Israel and Gaza that outraged us.

Comparing the criminal attack of October 7, during which Hamas killed nearly 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 251 hostages, to the war crimes committed by the Israeli army for eleven months in Gaza, “it’s not of the same order,” Haim Korsia assumed, affirming that “I have absolutely no reason to blush (sic) about what Israel does in the way it conducts combat.” Moreover, he indicates that “everyone would be very happy if Israel finished the job and we could finally build peace in the Middle East,” as if peace could be built on a pile of corpses, as if war were a job like any other and as if the Palestinians – civilians and Hamas fighters alike – were the undifferentiated incarnations of a humanity denied and fit to be eliminated.”

We know the rest.

In addition to the fact that Libé should learn to use reported speech, TJ responds that he fully supports, word for word, Haïm Korsia: Not only do we not have to blush at Israel's way of fighting, fighting that the Hebrew state is fighting alone, but we also say with him that "yes, everyone is very happy that Israel is finishing the job".

A bit like Antigone's Creon: First, because there have to be some who do the dirty work.

Then, because the Jew with his head down, suffering what Israel has suffered and is still suffering, is over, and everyone will have to get used to it.

Shame on these cowards who, instead of keeping quiet, have chosen to don the "generous" habit and will tomorrow brandish the flag for the latest fashionable cause.

Before learning in turn, once they are concretely concerned, that Israel is, in fact, fighting for them.
