Wars tend to confuse politics, both near and far, and this could well happen with the war launched by Hamas against Israel. A reverse outcome in Europe is that ostensibly anti-Semitic parties on the fringes of the political right have embraced Israel – probably because they realized that it emphasizes the left’s embarrassing anti-Semitic hypocrisies.
In France, representatives of the two main right-wing political movements, those led by Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour – participated in a pro-Israeli rally days after the attack. Le Pen in the National Assembly expressed solidarity with Israel last week, calling the Hamas attack a “pogrom” and reminding lawmakers of the need to “protect French Jews.”
