Interview by David Reinharc

Eric Marty is a professor of contemporary literature at the University of Paris VII-Denis Diderot. Writer, essayist, he is the author of a quarrel with Alain Badiou, philosopher (Gallimard). The text takes his critique, published in Les Temps Modernes, the booklet scope of the word "Jew" Badiou and the controversy that ensued. For Jewish Tribune, he reflects, again, on the report disorder qu'entretient the philosopher Alain Badiou, emblematic of radical thought, with the name "Jew."
Interview by David Reinharc

Jewish Tribune: What in the work of a philosopher like Alain Badiou resonates with the sounds of the world?
Eric Marty In Europe, the existence of Israel had never been questioned so massive as by public opinion. Since the second Intifada, a mythology of Israel as a state with bloody murderous, genocidal, and resumed as a philosopher Alain Badiou. The year 2000 marks a break in the cultural field and in French public opinion against Israel. Badiou gives shape to the philosophical discourse about the illegitimacy the existence of a Jewish state. The confusion of the thought of helping extreme left - the idea of world revolution, a Grand Night is no longer valid - therefore emerges as a radical, it raises the secret hope that a new discourse will emerge .

TJ Why this discourse crystallizes Does Israel ?
É. M.: There is a phenomenon of exhaustion of investment revolutionary experiences after successive failures monstrous (Asia, Africa, South America). For once, the Middle East may be the subject of an investment without limits.

TJ Your explanation is cyclical, but watermark, is there not the eschatological idea that a world without Israel would be heaven on Earth?
É. M.: Absolutely. Israel blocks total eschatology because it maintains the idea of a native people that would have a specific right, to monotheism, the One, which prohibits all to unite in the same, the great obsession Badiou's philosophy of equality absolute. The Jewish people gets in Judaism because it is the otherness that originates absolutely prohibited a merger. The Jews maintain their otherness by an absolute impossibility for the unification of humanity.

TJ A dream of Parousia, Second Coming, which will be realized only if removing the obstacle Jew?
É. M.: Yes. Badiou back to a neo-Marxist lit a metaphysics of man insane, the divided subject of his condition be released through a kind of Second Coming to the unification of humanity : Finally, happen to be rational, be reconciled with itself.

TJ Jewish humor that is opposed to Badiou?
É. M.: Through the fantasy of total mathematization of thought, there is a unifying project, totalitarian, to rid the subject of any crack, any flaw. Now in Judaism, the fault is constitutive of the subject as an opening to another.

TJ You qualify for Alain Badiou philosopher villain. " In his latest book, What is Sarkozy's name?, rats is, precisely, which were named supporters of Sarkozy. Does this sound like he left the rhetoric of anti-Semitic?
É. M.: His book about Sarkozy is an absolute slip. I compare Badiou Maurras insofar some teachers base their authority among their followers rather a link to the existential truth, but on their own stamina to be the bearers of lying (Maurras and the Dreyfus Affair, Badiou and Cultural Revolution Maoist). It found the rhetoric of extreme right Badiou: the stigma of the name, the rat, on Sarkozy's sexuality, etc.. There is a very violent anti-democratic speech that poses the equation democracy = corruption. This is, strictly speaking, the discourse of the extreme right of the 1930s.

TJ The road to revolution is blocked by the obstacle Jew. The Jew is substituted for the Christ figure of the Palestinian ...
É. M.: And also that of the poor: should the whole world is filled as poor. It's a very Christian on Earth if there were only the poor, there would be no corruption, there would be an absolute virtue.

TJ Behind the condemnation of Israel is playing he not an old theological dispute: the love of the Jewish law against the law of love of St. Paul?
É. M.: Saint Paul is a decadent Jew for whom the letter is dead. On the road to Damascus, suddenly, the relationship to the Act no longer makes sense. The 1970 went into the Jewish meaning in relation to the letter, the Law, "empire of signs" (Barthes): the letter and the sign has a meaning. For Barthes, Derrida and Lacan, the letter we got rid of the Christian psychology of sentimentality Psychology and petty bourgeois, the doxa where letter was cleared behind tons of good feelings, which precluded having a living relationship to thought. Badiou is a complete anti-modern because, over the letter he wants to return the good feelings.

TJ If Badiou's thought is foreign to the dimension of language, then no more than violence?
É. M.: Words for Badiou enemies are profound: the word "Jew" for example. It would take a great concept that brings together all the words into one, a word of great violence and intensity, such as "equality." While Judaism is reading endless generations, for Badiou, is full emancipation of the "anti-humanism the same."

the "New Covenant" INTELLECTUALS AGAINST "ZIONIST"

To some intellectuals, Alain Badiou as Edgar Morin or Noam Chomsky, the advent of a better world faces two obstacles. According to them, democracy is an avatar of fascism and the Jews themselves as the eternal victims of the Holocaust to oppress the Palestinians.
By David Reinharc

Noam Chomsky receiving a gift from Nabil Qaouq, leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, imprisoned by the Israelis in Khiam, near the town of Nabatieh (May 2006).

U No observation, first: the twentieth century seems to have sounded the death knell of utopias, the main incarnation was communism. Some euphoric dreams (the cons-American culture, May 68) could not overcome the disaster. Uncertainty, relativity of human things, doubt, perplexity even before the world to be born to discover, again, as the true ontological dimension of man. For once, the term - as echoing the ominous "they would need a good war" - the terrible vow, "they would have a good Utopia." We live in this when, to paraphrase Kafka, "their hind legs again stick" disappointed with the promise of emancipation of the man of yesterday, without "their forepaws have yet been made " in this future paradise on earth coveted. In short, Godot will not come: the hope of a qualitative leap into a totally different reality, this expectation vain that knows no rest or peace, never will be fulfilled in the final outcome. But this is impossible, a fringe radical intellectuals wants nothing to do. They operate in their pharmacies ideological return force in the hope of a passage from darkness to light. Is brewing in the cauldrons intend to end it yad'humain in man, that is to say the wrong bacillus find the right remedy to seek. Impossible, the deck is stacked as a barrier hampers the path of humanity towards its final fulfillment. Because to go from "old, deep past" to a brighter future, the apparent impotence of liberalism in the « hypothèse communiste » (Badiou), pour jouir de ce « printemps de notre seconde naissance » (Jankélévitch), il faut que la Shoah n’ait jamais eu lieu. Le raisonnement est impeccable : si l’on veut recréer de l’utopie et tenir bon sur la promesse d’une ère nouvelle qui viendrait arracher, effacer, détruire un monde ancien assimilé en bloc au Mal, il faut exposer clairement que tous les pouvoirs d’hier et d’aujourd’hui se valent. Et qu’il n’y a pas de différence entre fascisme et démocratie, qu’on jettera ensemble dans la same dustbin of history. But if their apparent differences are merely folklore without consequences, what about the existence of gas chambers? Only the extermination of Jews can be distinguished. In fact, this "technicality" for radical intellectuals, opposed the losers - the Nazis - the Americans responsible for the Iraq war, communists, and guilty of the Katyn gulag, or the French, the massacre of Setif. Denying the Holocaust is prohibited liberal democracies to say that despite their horror, they were a lesser evil. Capitalism liberalism = = Democracy = Nazism, the equation would have been perfect if Hitler had been a good and consistent agent of capitalism. But if the Nazi concentration camp is the site of a capitalist exploitation, how is it that the Nazis planned the extermination of Jews, thus depriving themselves of a workforce infinitely profitable? The gas chambers were wasting the labor force are incompatible with the nature of capital. How then destroy the argument of modern democracy that wants to make it appear as "the worst regimes to the exclusion of all other " antithesis of barbarism, while capitalism cleared the crimes of dictatorships and totalitarian states? The operation will be, not to say the Jews were "exterminated", which would be the denial (which is frowned upon and punishable in addition by law), but to state: "Jews" were exterminated Regarding the "negative-Zionism" by a wand semantics, you're in the camp of the oppressed. By changing up the quotes, voila: the Jew does not exist, the Jew, it's Mr. Everybody, you, me, was the Christ, and what are the Palestinians.

Israel, anti-Semitic State ...
Mission impossible? Apparently, only. Alain Badiou writes in scope of the word "Jew" the name Jew is an illusion, its future is disappearing. Interference in the most total, the carnival of all concepts, Badiou does everything in reverse: Israel is a state-Semitic, because the word "Jew" finds its meaning in metaphysics Hitler Holocaust is a Nazi film and in response to the rebuttal of his book by Eric Marty, he writes: "The Jew is me. " Cécile Winter, in the same work - except that" the denial of Jewish "does not appear on the cover - proclaims that the word" Jew "is the " master signifier new Aryan. " Jean-Luc Godard said the same, word for word: "The Jew is me. " And in his film Our music after photo of a Jewish deportee, with the inscription "Jew" is that of a walking corpse behind fences, captioned "Muslim." In an interview with Inrocks (No. 581, May 5, 2004 ), it annoyed: "People told me:" But it's disgusting, because history Palestinians is not Holocaust of the Jews. " But if I write" Muslim "because at Auschwitz, the Jews were called Muslims. Then Hollywood called the Mecca of cinema. " To turn passepasse semantics, we applauded. In the same reversal of victimhood device, Edgar Morin is doing very well: "The Jews of Israel, descendants of victims of an apartheid ghetto named, ghettoïsent Palestinians. The Jews who were humiliated, despised, persecuted, humiliated, despised, persecuted the Palestinians. The Jews who were victims of a pitiless order impose their pitiless order on the Palestinians. The Jewish victims of inhumanity show a terrible inhumanity. Jews scapegoats for every evil "goatee émissarisent" Arafat and the Palestinian Authority. " We will be grateful to philosopher Giorgio Agamben offer us a variation on this theme. In his book state of emergency, it says emergency rule is the rule politics in the West - Nazism and democracy is the same thing, always, c ' is the exception that dominates the rule - and wrote about the situation of terrorist prisoners at Guantanamo Bay: "The only possible comparison is the legal position of Jews in the Nazi Lager, who lost, with citizenship, any identity legal, but at least kept the Jews. "We should also mention Noam Chomsky, the intellectual reference auditors Daniel Mermet on France Inter, with the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu divides the world into two dominant / dominated (in which camp is looking for Israel ... ) and violently denounced, putting them all in the same bag, journalists, scholarly experts, academics, sank into a sort of conspiracy theory. in Israel, Palestine, United States: the fateful triangle and Pirates and Emperors: International Terrorism in today's world , Chomsky thus portrayed Israel as a terrorist state, having "points of similarity" with Nazi Germany. During his speech on the occasion of the award of the German Book Trade Peace, the future author of Death of a Critic Martin Walser denounces "the instrumentalization of the Holocaust" and offers "turns Page Auschwitz. " And it may even be swollen breast of the noble sentiment of universal consciousness that the good Jewish name will be cleared: "Victims Auschwitz are, par excellence, the delegates from our memory all victims of history " (Paul Ricoeur). In short, lots of people to address the Jews an intolerable injunction, they can not make a blackmail: bury your dead bury the funeral, or we will blow ourselves this lock, dam cons utopia d a changeover between the world of yesterday - democracies and totalitarian states united, therefore - and enchanted future. Deleuze already said Eric Marty, had put the idea of the need to evacuate our real Political fascism in the 1930s, became "old fascism," and ask instead the concept of "neo-fascism" in which "it is not difficult recognize the traditional caricature of the United States " (Marty). Still, one wonders why this relentless desire to wipe Israel off the map. The philosopher Etienne Balibar, who wrote that Israel bears the "seeds of disaster" (Le Monde, August 19 2006), Edgar Morin, as his article in the same newspaper ( June 4, 2002): "Israel-Palestine: The Cancer", the metaphor of "biologically based" Zionist intellectuals negative leaves think there is only one obstacle to the delivery of paradise on earth: again, the Jews. Adrien Barrot, moreover, denounces in his book If a Jew ? (Michalon) the logic of this thought, which led to see the Jews as a complication to the advent the best of worlds that their disappearance is pure necessity. And as Bourdieu uses the quote from the Nazi philosopher Carl Schmitt on liberalism characterized as "policy of depoliticization" said Bernard-Henri Levy, borrow him the figure of "kacheton" that prevents , retains the end. And this figure of the "timer" the best of worlds, asking that an "objective chance", he is Jewish.

The refusal of all the dogmas of Judaism
For the Gachnochi doctor has reason to say that if Judaism has always aroused the hatred, it's probably because of its "opposition to idolatry," latter being understood not only in material sense but also, and above all, as opposition to the dogmas. In his speech Jerusalem , Milan Kundera quotes this beautiful Jewish proverb: "Man thinks, God laughs. But the ideologues and intellectuals negative Zionists do not want to hear the echo of the "laughter of God", which means that 'man and think that the truth eludes him " (Kundera). What dream of philosophers like Alain Badiou is the reign of the same, that is to say a world without subjects, where all men, matriculation N +1 in an infinite sequence of interchangeable individuals , all think the same thing. However, Judaism, inspired by the "laughter of God" rejects ideological certainties. "What Christianity, Islam, Marxism, anti-globalization, but also" consumerist ideology "can not stand in Judaism is that it continues to pose issues that all these beliefs, or simply ways of living and thinking consider, explicitly or implicitly, as solved " says Dr. Gachnochi. Among these intellectuals in mind theoretical thinkers of Totality, rejecting Western culture and its respect for the individual, and "laughter of God" taught by Judaism, there is no peace. Similarly, specifically, that there can be no possible agreement between the intellectuals who have nega-Zionist Jews and the answer that question. Because it could be said of Judaism writes Kundera about the "wisdom of the novel" "Like Penelope, he defeated overnight tapestry that theologians, philosophers, scientists have concocted the night before" (The Art of the Novel , Gallimard). And what happens when it is, as Guy Sorman, an ideologue sure to hold the Truth? We consider calmly a "realistic scenario" about Jews: "Perhaps it is their work completed and the time is ripe for them they leave us? "(The Children of Rifaa , 2003). God he laughs yet when he hears that "a new Holocaust [is] possible" (Sorman)?

Editions La Fabrique or hatred of Israel

Several authors of the home of Eric Hazan, already known for having published The Holocaust Industry echoed by the deniers of the Old Mole, were associated with Tariq Ramadan call for a boycott of the Book Fair which Israel was the guest of honor. The factory was still present there, "not to participate, but to resist this process of falsification: honor a State which, under the guise of democracy, (...) practice collective punishment on the scale of an entire people," explained in a leaflet distributed in the aisles.
By David Reinharc

Michel Warschawski in his book "Palestine-Israel, Binational the challenge," compares the model of the Zionist Jew "typical Aryan Nazi propaganda posters." Right: Eric Hazan. The

manufactured is not an editor like the others. He is certainly some fine texts, but it produces fewer writers and essayists as activists. Home wants books anchored politically but never yield to any parochialism, without being beholden to any group or party. The authors are "those who challenge question the ideology of domination." An editor knows you can not publish a manuscript to be entitled "Against the Beatles." Fans of rock band, by definition, would not buy the book, while those who do not know, or bad, the Beatles did not care. What is true for the Beatles is not just for Israel, those who do not like Israel are passionate about the object of their detestation. Among the members the editorial board of The Factory, one finds, among other things, Eyal Sivan, Israeli filmmaker unknown in Israel but whose film Route 181, which states that the IDF reservist officers would the "banality of evil" was broadcast on Arte. And also Pierre Tevanian, host site "Words are important," which, in July 2005 during a meeting with Dieudonne, denounced "the Zionist emmerdent you. " While Dieudonne said that "we are slaves of a group of individuals who have power," stating that it were " a group guided by an evil ideology "- who is this group? Not Jews, of course, but "Zionists" (one is even there in the enjoyment of the implicit) - Tevanian tried an explanation that "Zionists" are not necessarily the top of the pyramid just a "cog" " watchdogs" . Association Pierre Tevanian, as shown in Caroline Fourest Temptation obscurantists e (Grasset), is one of the leading leftist organizations to have fused his name to that of Tariq Ramadan in the group A School for All. In fact, just read the list of signatories of the Manifesto "We are natives of the Republic!" to find, next to the Islamist website Oumma.com, "Words are important," Pierre Tevanian, Eric Hazan and ... A School for All. Now who are, among others, the founding members of this group? Young Muslims of France, the Youth Association of the Union of Islamic Organisations in France (UOIF), whose mentor is Hassan Iquioussen. Which, if one believes Le Figaro who has deciphered a tape, castigates "Jewish usurers and misers," "the top of the felony, " accused of plotting with Hitler - the Holocaust - to justify " occupation of Palestine. " Better yet. A School for All movement is part of Pro-Hijab. This coordination, demonstrate Caroline Fourest, resembles the European side of the strategy implemented through a school for all. The first meeting of Pro-Hijab was inaugurated in London on July 27, 2004 , with the blessing of Mayor Ken Livingstone, by Tariq Ramadan and Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, the latter declaring a few days earlier on Al-Jazeera: "There is no dialogue between us and the Jews, except by the sword and gun. "But La Fabrique, if inviting a writer must necessarily involve major actions, such a statement does no boycott. And since the factory was at the book fair, which Israel is guest of honor, she presented a debate show off: "Between the Jordan and the sea: two states? A state? "Hosted by Denis Sieffert, managing editor of Politis . Here's what one could read Politis of March 6, 2008 : "Israel should have long shunned by other nations as was once Africa apartheid South. " We learn that " barbarism is the rule "and Politis cite a Jew - because it" goes better the pen of a Jew under one of a kind ... " - warns that Israel "You win by arms, but you will overwhelm the human wave. "

Denial of the Holocaust
edits the factory? Alain Badiou, philosopher, which criminalizes the word "Jew", Michel Warshawski, who denounces Israel-Palestine challenge the binational , the model excited by the Jew Zionism "Aryan type posters Nazi propaganda, "or The Industry the Holocaust. Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish suffering , Norman Finkelstein, that abominable book "denounced in a brief, provocative and passionate, the instrumentalization of the Holocaust" for political purposes and financial, in reducing "Casino de Monte-Carlo martyrdom of the Jews. But it has not yet reached here, the highest degree of infamy. At the same time, precisely where Ilan Halimi was kidnapped, tortured, and dies,

Stand The Making of the Book Fair. On one panel, maps of "Palestine of the twentieth century to today."

after three weeks of confinement, because of what "revolting mixture of motivation villainous and hatred of Jews, which has its source in the identification, by itself hateful and murderous Jews in the money " (Adrien Barrot), La Fabrique, who is beholden to no party, and Daniel Bensaid, theoretician of the Revolutionary Communist League, decided republish text, not found elsewhere: The Jewish Question , Marx. A book of youth who do not just offer to "make the Jew impossible" and set the eradication of Judaism but which provides answers: "What is the secular cult of the Jew? The jobbing. What is his secular God? Money. " Given this " inexhaustible effort which our contemporaries are able to make the other mad " (Barrot) was just want to ask, with Alexis Lacroix, author of socialism of fools , the Democratic Left disengages the faster this radical left and its pernicious fellow travelers, intellectuals negative Zionists. Because if they do it will not win the election, one thing is certain: they can make him lose his soul.

Michale Boganim

Interview by David Reinharc

I just ask you about a movie you just turn on the Jews of Odessa while you are in Israel, when a controversy about Jews from Katif Gousch we want to banish from their own earth.
Exile Is your opinion - as in your film - the theme of the Jewish people, whom he continues to decline the different variations ...?

Boganim Michale: I think that `we can not possibly compare the` Russian exile of the Jews to the Jews of Gush Katif. I would say that Jews don `Russians had no choice. Staying in Russia `s state was a virulent anti-Semitism, poor economic conditions, political instability. For them to come to Israel or the USA, it `was primarily a matter of life or death, it was necessary that they may save their skin. In Jewish history, exile has often been linked to the impossibility for Jews to remain in a country. It was rarely an option but a necessity.

David Reinharc: The film revolves around the Odessa, a mythical city, the cradle of yiddischkeit.
In this film, I see not only the nostalgia of the city from which arose the modern Jewish genius but also the "nostalgia for nostalgia," as if Odessites exiles living in Ashdod were the "last men" ...

MB: Odessa exudes a poetic charge nostalgic and very strong. It is a city that has indeed inspired many Jewish writers: Isaac Babel, Bialik, Sholem Alekheim ... But also non-Jewish writers as Pushkin. All these books are of course are a valuable source for me. The film traces the journey of Odessites who left their city and who left moved to New York and Israel. Odessa but remains firmly rooted in their minds, starting, they magnified. Say it is a nostalgic film about nostalgia. Nostalgia is in the film as an inner music, an introspection. And the characters I filmed are the last to be in this nostalgia. Children do not know this painful feeling. This is their chance. In this sense, it is unnecessary to parentage.

David Reinharc: Between the "already" of Odessa - a fictional town that no longer exists - and the "not yet" America and Israel - Ashdod is filmed as a non-place, a site for new immigrants - Does your characters do not they float in-between, a world in suspense, who delights of "not now"?

MB: There are several time in this film and theoretically Odessa is history of these people, and that Israel or New York are part of this, even the future. But in reality Odessa is present everywhere. My characters have transported their city as elsewhere. And Odessa is much more alive and real in Little Odessa that even in Odessa. There is the inner world in which these people live and the outside: their host cities in which they live as foreigners see tourists. In this sense they are living between two worlds.
There's this scene where some characters will visit Manathan tourist bus while it has been almost 30 years they live in New York. In Ashdod, we see a grandmother who has recreated his apartment in a museum to the glory of Odessa. It is connected to the Russian radio station that provides information about Moscow or the Ukraine and when her daughter comes to see her (she is already Israel), it does not understand the popularity of his grandmother to Odessa. There is a break between generations.

David Reinharc: Scarcely are they about to set foot in Israel or America that your characters are caught by the desire to go look elsewhere if they are ...
Waiting for the promised land never stops.
you think the Jews did not they put their suitcases in Israel?

MB, It is the great paradox of the film, the Russians arrive in Israel and felt more than ever in exile. Imagine, they `d come Odessa and they are sent directly to Ashdod, Ber Sheva, all these development towns, near the desert. It `s a big shock for them culturally. They leave a great nation-Russia-up to the Middle East.
They have nothing in common with this tiny country called Israel. They don `t have nothing in common with other communities. It also
yad `violence and hatred among the vast Moroccans, Ethiopians and Russians. It `s what a character says: I arrived in a country where I thought everybody was Jewish brothers and I see that Moroccans` s not like the Russians, the Russians don `t like it ... The Ethiopians disillusionment is stronger in Israel: for the expectation is higher.
Moreover, there is a new phenomenon today: 100 000 Russians who settled in Israel are divided.
And then, as `very rightly said an American critic, my characters are in a situation of` exilestentialisme . A permanent state of `exile. The diaspora continues even in Israel, but in another form.

David Reinharc: Russian Jews are, "says a character, Jews in Russia and Russians in Israel.
But this feeling of strangeness he does not end with the generation sabra, Jews in Israel?

MB: Yes `s why Odessites which I have filmed are the last men. In Odessa, the Jews are gone for most and small children of Odessites be Americans in the U.S., Israelis in Israel. The generations of post have already been integrated. Those I chose to shoot them are still uprooted from their land of childhood. It is painful and almost hopeless.

David Reinharc: Michel Gurfinkiel just released a beautiful book, "The Romance of Odessa" (Editions du Rocher).
How your approach differs Does his?

MB: The film is a poetic `s Odessa. The book traces Michel Gufinkiel brilliantly the history of `Odessa. It `s a book that explains the facts, Then my convene film direction.
`C is a more impressionistic approach, but also more intimate, more sensitive.

David Reinharc: Israeli cinema is experiencing a craze and has imposed outside its borders as a film rich, creative and high quality.
You even have known the experience of exile, the film does give you that sense of belonging? You define yourself as an Israeli filmmaker?

MB: I am, indeed, born Israel and this film is a co-production with Israel, it is considered an Israeli film and me as a filmmaker in Israel. Now the reality is more complex. I navigate between multiple identities, multiple locations, multiple memories, multiple languages ... Like the characters in my film.
cinema just gives me no sense of belonging, but rather a way for me to be in several places. I travel a lot with my films. I submitted my film in Israel, but also in New York, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Moscow
... And the rich film, is that it does not reduce, there is a window on the world.

What, for now, your projects?

MB: Other films abroad is the only thing that is certain!

Interview Interview Arno Klarsfeld


Interview by David Reinharc

We already knew Arno Klarsfeld brilliant lawyer during the trial Touvier and Papon. It was
witnesses, too, his stance necessarily media, however, always courageous.
And today, unpredictable, suiting the action to the word, he takes on the military fatigues and joined the Israeli army.
the occasion of Israel's exit Transit, a book of interviews where he tells what he saw and experienced, we wanted to know, of his convictions and his life, two or three more things. Because an interview with Master Klarsfeld is certainly an unusual encounter.

David Reinharc: Will he Arno Klarsfeld for a "before" and "after" experience in the Israeli army?

Arno Klarsfeld: Sure. Each experience will change and this one was significant.
Yes, I come out calm, more in tune with myself and with what I think.

DR: How do you explain that the most moral army is also the most reviled?

AK: Oh, it is not always moral. In unit near the mine, on the other side of Bethlehem, there were two soldiers who were interviewed for committing abuses on the Palestinians. In Hebron, soldiers threw two Palestinians in a jeep running.
Do not hide because in all armies in the world, there are bullies and bastards.
course, the suffering of the Palestinians is more than regrettable. But we must compare this to other situations of war and there, Israel is behaving much better than other countries.
When you're there, it's true that soldiers face to civilians and that they are lining up. But otherwise we have attacks.
In 1967, Moshe Dayan opened East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem. Barriers or checkpoints because then there were no attacks and not the propaganda of hatred of the PLO.
And it is clear that suicide attacks started after he had this very violent anti-Semitic propaganda in the Territories.
Like it or not, what is learned in childhood stay with you forever and it is impossible to discard it. This is the case of this propaganda.
In Israel, of course, there is sometimes drifts but which cause immediate protests. In every way, nothing like what we hear in the mosques or on Palestinian television.
The European collective consciousness is more accustomed to seeing Jews as victims of army prepared to defend themselves ...

DR

You write that "the democratization of the Arab world is an absolute necessity." Join
you commitments of the neocons who, unlike the supporters of the "clash of civilizations" want the emergence of democracies can integrate Civilization?

AK : Neoconservatives have realized that the strategy to contain dictatorships is obsolete. They also understood that terrorists could strike the U.S. homeland and that therefore it was better to take the war elsewhere.
Where are the most dangerous dictators in Iraq and the Middle East.
They would probably abstain if there had been no September 11.
And since the Iraq war, there has not been a single attack on American soil. While all the terrorists there, dream only of one thing: hit the United States.
So first a good defensive strategy National is also the duty of a State to protect its citizens.
Then, in dictatorships, most people are poor and only a minority is rich. These guys are stirring up hatred and scapegoating. If it does not dictatorships, if not attack, they are gaining ground. It became necessary to go there.
And even if it is a consequence of the war more than its true cause, the Iraqis are and will be happier in a democracy.

DR: Should you believe that the Americans attack Iran now?

AK: I do not think America will let Iran have nuclear weapons.
I remember it only takes one bomb to end Israel.
And the Iranians have warned with a bomb, it destroys Israel while for us, a few bombs affect very little the Islamic world.
They do not care the lives of their fellow citizens ...

DR: German Lutheran mother, French father and a Jew: you play a little Franco-German entente.
What is your feeling about Europe as it tries hard to exist?

AK: I think the French have listened to the voices of the demagogues. And they are the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people who rejoice: the extreme right and extreme left.
Voting 'no' is a very bad thing.
The extreme right is anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli as the extreme left which has a high anti-Jewish sentiment. We saw the parade with portraits of Saddam Hussein's glory and signs: "Bush / Sharon assassins."
Le Pen in the second round of presidential elections, one third of French people declared for victory Saddam Hussein, "no" to Europe: no cause for celebration!

DR: How do you reconcile your European credo, your love of Israel and your esteem for America?

AK: I feel European because I feel at home everywhere in Europe. Israel, because I did the army I speak the language and there, I feel at home.
American, because I studied in America.
So yes, for now I reconciled the three with a commitment to freedom and individuality.
These values are strongly worn by Israel, America and Europe.

DR: Would you support Israel's entry into Europe?

AK: I think Israel will agree with the Arab world.
The Middle East must allow the personality of the Israeli people speak without wanting to overwhelm or destroy it.
Israel has no place in a Middle Eastern federation in Europe, where the Jewish state would be more defensive position.

DR: What do you think Project of the disengagement from Gaza?
Do not you fear that the territory becomes a base for terrorists?

AK: The Israelis can not stand there. The "settlers" will hold a third of the country while only 1 .3 million Palestinians live in refugee camps.
I think it is better to withdraw from Gaza. In any case, we will have to return to the '67 borders.

DR: This is a shift in Jewish population.
If the Arabs had been displaced, I guess the world would have cried scandal ...

AK: Yes, but we can also say that there were 650,000 "displaced" the Arab side who can not return home while blacks and Russians, not necessarily Jews, including live! But also
900 000 Jews were forced to leave Arab countries after independence
... In all ways, Israel is forced to leave Gaza for peace!

DR: Palestinians calling for a country without Jews, it starts badly, right?

AK: It's true that I often wondered why there could be 400 Jews living in Hebron. How does it bother them?
Well, it bothers them. And I think there are advantages to withdraw from Gaza.
Israelis must remain firm on some positions as the 1949 armistice borders or Jerusalem.

DR: The Palestinians want three states: the future Palestinian state, with Israel claiming a right of return and Jordan where they predominate.
Exits to choose the "Jordanian option" t you think it feasible?

A. K. : It is not possible because First, it's too late, a government perspective.
And Jordanians were there too, they are led by a Hashemite and can not return to the borders of a State.

DR: One of your friends ask you what need have you of "playing the fool on the Green Line?
Are you proud of your parents, do you act one way to make them proud of you?

AK: Sure, I'm glad they are proud of me.
But if I did this experiment is first for me. I do not think that through it they are proud of me ...

DR: You carry the name of a man deported to Auschwitz.
Your fight for Israel is there a way to help your father to close a parenthesis, to the extent possible, preserve the future generations?

AK: Yes, Serge's father was deported to Auschwitz. When he arrived there, a Kappo hit him and he knocked it Kappo. It's a play for me, unconsciously
... There are probably the weight of the grandfather.
The weight or spice to advance a lazy like me ...

DR: What are your plans?
For our readers, can you tell if you are planning to get married ...?

AK: Not at this time. I will assist Serge
for different things and I have to leave the United States. Perhaps in an American university.

DR: A project to install in Israel?

AK: I could easily live in Jerusalem.

Interview by David Reinharc

We were all present at the ceremony of Yom Hatsmaout the Synagogue de la Victoire. The synagogue, dressed for the occasion suits color light of Israel, has hosted personalities including Jewish accompanied by Francis Lalanne who sang Israeli songs.
great opportunity to experience this mountebank studious artist with multiple facets that we must side with the greatest. For
Francis Lalanne, is not just a showman, but also and primarily a poet who does not dare say airs but without any cynicism, what he thinks is right.
Whether or not to be surprised by his long hair, his white shirt notched his side pushers, it is clear that it remains itself, ie, a great dreamer in a complex world in his own way, it helps us to decode.

David Reinharc: Singer, songwriter, actor, film producer, clown and juggler, glass blower, series editor, poet, writer, entrepreneur and active citizen: How do I present to you, Francis Lalanne?

Francis Lalanne: Poet. Insofar as I am acting in the direction of my imagination. Poet, ie both the doer and he who creates. Poetry is the Create Action. That sums up my life I Creager.

DR: Would you "créactionnaire?

FL: I am a créacteur.

DR. : Your presence at the Synagogue de la Victoire at the ceremony of Yom Ha'atzmaut, editing a book in a publishing house run by the editor, writer and Rabbi Daniel Radford: this approximation to Israel and Judaism come from by far, something buried in you long or is it cyclical?

FL: One day I arrived in Israel to make a TV show, I had to stay two days and I stayed two months.
It was a thunderbolt, a revelation.
I learned about this country, to love and I learned to know and love these people so much that I felt to be a part.
It was for me a sort of obvious: not something I thought about it but where I reflected and projected.
Yes, I had this feeling of belonging to this people, this community of ideas, his world view in which I found mine.
And it happens that when I came on this earth, I was unable to have children with the woman of my life. I went to the Kotel, I prayed. Nine months later I had a baby and other children followed
... For more than five years, I was told that there was no solution, I asked God to the Western Wall he sends me a child nine months later, yes, I was a father. Or was it a
coincidence, or it is a resonance: between, suddenly, I on land and part of me in heaven, guarded by angels.
There were too many coincidences and incidents in my meeting with Israel that I am not overwhelmed by an infinite love for this land and the people who inhabit it.
a time when a new wave of anti-Semitism is ravaging the world, who increasingly found a mask and pretext "humanist" of Zionism, it is essential to show my sympathy and my love of Israel and Jews around the world.
silence today is worse than a confession. Keeping quiet about this new form of persecution of the Jewish people is a way of condoning.
For my attachment to Israel, I refuse, for my part, of the bond. I view very openly and my sympathy and my love for Israel.

DR: You wrote a piece recounting the letters of denunciation during the Occupation.
Silence, tell you, is worse than a confession: as now, do not resist the Zionist cursers, the propagandists of comfortable certainties, is not it behave as a collaborator?

FL: I'm not at war against the Palestinians or against those who support their cause.
I think these people are wrong enemy. Their main enemy is themselves.
I think the strength of Israel is to be able to not be the enemy of his enemy. We must put an end to this war and only Israel is capable of. Because Israel has more maturity in this conflict that those who today claim its destruction and its eradication position completely immature.

DR: The only solution then it is unilateralist?

FL: I am not for unilateral withdrawal under current conditions. When
duels against someone, not to destroy but to save him from his own violence.
There are certainly exogenous to take measures to ensure the safety of the people of Israel but, also, to develop a discourse of openness towards his enemies. For
who benefits? Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians but to the economic powers that have an interest in preventing a conflict this territory to organize themselves to be competitive with those that dominate the economic market today.

DR: Is it mostly does not benefit the Arab governments to crystallize on the Israeli-Palestinian frustration and discontent of their people?

FL: This to me is a result of alliances that benefit those who dominate the economy.
Arab countries that are in this configuration there are countries which, coincidentally, have a non-aggression pacts and military cooperation with the United States. And who willingly abandoned oil wells and the direction of OPEC to Bush.
When Mr. Bush went to war against Saddam Hussein, it is strange at the end of the war, he signed a nonaggression pact with him. Why sign a nonaggression pact with the one who came to deliver you? In this pact, it is stipulated that the U.S. military will leave oil on all databases. However, it is not military but they left oil technicians. Therefore, at the slightest touch of Trafalgar, all oil wells fell to the United States.
forces that dominate the market Economic and now want to impose their law in the world have an interest in Jews and Arabs can not agree.
For me, the solution to this conflict is neither philosophical nor religious nor political but economic.
Arabs must realize that by joining together with the Jews, they will become the largest economy in the world.
If this realization takes place, it's the end of the conflict.

DR: This idyllic vision she does not ignore the betrayal by their mission of Arab intellectuals, the ones who chose to flatter detestation Israel presented as evil entity rather than fighting?

FL: I am simply saying that Israel must remain braced on its borders, refuses to abandon elements of its sovereignty to the Palestinians in exchange for nothing. Yes, in front, there is always, implicitly, the objective of eradicating Israel.
First, Israel must consolidate its national sovereignty, holds the safety of its inhabitants, on the other hand, should turn to his enemies as friends. And try initiate a dialogue turned to a partnership project economically.

DR: So you are advocating a fusion of peoples.
When a couple does not agree, the best solution is it not rather the separation?

FL: This is not a merger but that it is an agreement.
And we can not base an agreement on the proposed elimination of the two parties. That is why Israel must strengthen the security of its nationals for be a part physically able to get along with each other.
The land belongs to those who have grown, those trees were pushed over. We want with political and religious views have us believe that there is a political potentiality that existed before, we believe that those who cultivated the land do not own. It is not possible.
is introduced logical reasoning into a mathematical truth.
I mean, the reality today is not the logical reasoning of a Jew or a Palestinian. What the Israelis that Israel is Today, it is this mathematical truth: this country was established, fertilized, built by people of Jewish history who gave the keys of this territory, and who have been growing trees in the desert .
In the name of objectivity, Israel must remain with those who developed, produced, created this state.
To achieve peace, we must at some point that one party has enough experience, intelligence, positivity, strength and courage to find the words and ideas that one can not find.
And if I have faith in Israel if I express my love for this land, because I think he has that strength, that intelligence, courage and maturity, experience of persecution which gives this self-preservation and sense of diplomacy and the other.
I think in any form of political reasoning, there is a soul and body. It must come to consolidate Israel's sovereignty by preventing what is politically designed to challenge the sovereignty and at the same time, find the path to those who want to destroy that sovereignty.
The path I propose is because economic thinking on the theme philosophical, religious and political, there were too many misunderstandings, blood and war.
The solution will come when the leaders of these states understand that conflicting uses the conflict in question to take away their market leadership that should be theirs.

DR: You were involved in a campaign of solidarity with the people of Darfur.
I read that you call the American intervention in Iraq a "crime against humanity"!
regard to Darfur, ethnic cleansing, systematic rape, crimes racist genocidal intent, would you describe U.S. intervention as "neocolonial" or criminal?

FL: Yes, if it's American. No, if it meets the concert of nations.
Today the government of the United States presents itself as the state that rules the world, who has the right to violate the agreements between nations. Even if he is right
in an intervention, it is wrong to reason.
I'm not saying that we should not intervene in Darfur, but if it is the U.S. involved in Darfur without the concert of nations is, in any Clearly, a company policy.

DR: Can not find they have difficulty, the "concert of nations", to take resolutions that can be rapidly translated into reality?

FL: No, there was, for example, proposals on Iraq.
We can not believe today in the cleanliness of the intentions of the government of the United States.

DR: Darfur, always, a war that was five to one hundred times more deaths than the Arab-Israeli conflict : How do you deal with the reporting of crimes against humanity of black civilians in Darfur, I found your name, Patrick Bruel, but not that of Dieudonne?

FL: Dieudonne, I do not understand what he does, what he says.
I am sorry for him to be in this state there.
I think this guy has a personal problem that I can not identify and would like to extend to humanity. But I think it will not make it, in any case, it is hoped.

DR: I've interviewed as a concerned citizen. Let me now turn to the poet ...

FL: For all the questions you asked, I tried to build pictures to explain things.
Is it my role, really? I am not a politician, I am a man of poetry.
I have an ideal vision of humanity and I was naive enough to believe that either the intelligence to believe I do not think the simplicity is the opposite of intelligence, my ideal vision will come true one day .
My role is to say without political bias, but with poetry. And today, there is a bias against Israel which is the indictment of humanity.
I do not take part against the Palestinians, I just think that men who absolutely refuse the idea of agreeing with other men are wrong.
In the speech of Israel, there is always a lot of humanity.

DR: You get out a book of poetry as a Pantoum. What
of Pantoum?

FL: It is a kind of intimate samba, dance backwards which creates a form of pleasure in slow repetition.
We're in a world that is coming to schizophrenia, ie the difficulty to situate its own limitations.
Suddenly, in confronting this situation, it can also reverse: taking a form impossible to draw the line is also giving shape to the formless.
I faced it in writing this book, not destroy my demon, but tame it, domesticate it.
What I tried to do is tame, control, channel my demon.

DR: As in Rimbaud's formula: "I is another"?

FL: Yeah. When Rimbaud said: "I is another," he talks about what I say on pantoum and duality.
This demon I have spoken of controlling Goethe is also giving free rein to dialogue with the angel.
I managed to avoid total disruption of my mind by practicing pantoum, which is a form of expression contained and controlled poetics of schizophrenia.

DR: Did you write this book for not going insane?

FL: In this case, not to sink into my madness.
Madness is an extraordinary ocean. You can swim in and drown.
I write to swim in this ocean and to avoid drowning.

DR: Your album "Reptiles" comes out: do you feel more comfortable in the rytmn'blues in world music or Groove?

FL: I feel at ease as soon as a form of music is expressed in a natural way.
I'm open to all forms of music but in each genre, there are places where I feel it's natural - or not - for me.
In this album, I am enriched by meeting people who came from another musical universe than me.
our differences, we have a richness and not a conflict. That's how I see the relationship one day between Jews and Arabs.

DR: Would you sing in Israel?

FL: Absolutely. I dream of that!
