Philippe Karsenty, "the worst
nightmare of the French
media outlets"
Written by Nurit Greenger, from the original speech, as was delivered
by Mr. Philippe Karsenty
June 4, 2011
Philippe Karsenty, is a French national of the Jewish faith, who is
well known for, so obstinately, standing up to France 2 TV Channel
news when they reported a hoax story about Mohamed al Dura, an
Arab-"Palestinian" they claimed the Israeli army killed. Mr. Karsenty
won his case and truth prevailed.
Mr. Karsenty is now seeking to be elected to the French Parliament. I
cannot think of a better than Mr. Karsenty, an honest, freedom loving
person to take ranks in the French political arena.
On May 12, 2011 Mr. Karsenty delivered a speech to Temple Of the Arts
congregation, in Beverly Hills California, which I attended. I am
gladly sharing with my readers Mr. Karsenty's speech:
"Mohammed al Dura was a little boy who, at the beginning of the Arab
2nd Intifada against Israel, France 2, the French public TV, showed
dying in his father’s arms, shot and killed by the Israeli army.
This picture became an icon, an icon of hatred to the State of Israel.
Osama Bin Laden used it; American Journalist Daniel Pearl was killed
to avenge the killing of Mohammed al Dura.
Most or all the Muslim countries have erected monuments, named streets
and issued postage stamps to commemorate Mohammed al Dura’s death.
But there is a greater problem: this report was a hoax; it was purely
a staged scene.
For having said and published that it was a hoax, I’ve been sued for
libel but have won the case.
But today, the talk is about French and Middle East policies.
I first want to say few words about my personal experience in French
politics, then I will give an update about French politics regarding
the Middle East and lastly, I will explain why I am running for
elections to the French parliament.
My personal experience of French politics
I met Nicholas Sarkozy in 2002. At that time he was not even a minister.
Sarkozy then told me: “The Golan is Syrian.”
I told him, "I disagree."
We agreed that we disagreed.
So, Sarkozy challenge me: “If you disagree with me, run against me.”
I did but I lost.
At around the same time, I, with some other people, discovered the al Dura hoax.
I immediately understood that wrong politics are based on wrong information.
Lies in the media influence politician and then, they make wrong policies.
So, I fought on al Dura and I won the trials against France 2 and
Canal+, a French private TV which slandered me in a 52 minutes
documentary, designed to support the al Dura hoax.
I’m proud to say that now, I’m the worst nightmare of the French media outlets.
French politics regarding the Middle East
France is a military dwarf but it is an important country to watch out
for because France can be a big troublemaker:
France has a permanent seat at the UN,
France has the 2nd largest diplomatic network,
France has an impact on world politics, and
France had a historical role in the Middle East.
French politicians have always been very close to Arab dictators.
Charles De Gaulle was terrible in this aspect. Valéry Giscard and
Francois Mitterrand were bad. Jacques Chirac was the worst; he, liked,
too much, dead Jews. He spent his mandate to commemorate the Holocaust
in order to have a blank check to blame Israel whenever he could and
wanted.
Some people had great hopes on Nicholas Sarkozy but he is has been
very disappointing. Sarkozy didn’t do and is not doing much better
than his predecessors. Sarkozy always had nice words for Israel but
nothing has really changed in the grand picture. The Quai d’Orsay
French Foreign Affairs - still has the power and they still follow the
Politique Arabe de la France. As soon as he was elected, Sarkozy
invited the Hezbollah to Paris; in 2007, Gadhafi was invited to Paris,
as a guest of honor; Bashar al Assad of Syria was also a guest of
honor in Paris for the Bastille Day of 2008.
Recently, France has sold anti-tank missiles to the Lebanese Army.
Whose tanks will the Lebanese Army target?
And on a more personal level, after I won my al-Dura trial, as a real
slap on my face and on Jews' faces, Sarkozy offered the Legion of
Honor to Charles Charles Enderlin, the French journalist responsible
of the al Dura hoax.
I have two questions:
Is Obama good?
Do you think Sarkozy is better?
So, let’s talk about Sarkozy’s lasted decisions's record:
Last February, when the USA vetoed at UN on the condemnation of
“Israel's colonization”, Sarkozy voted in favor.
When the USA opposed the Goldstone Report, Sarkozy didn’t.
Sarkozy condemned Israel for the interception of the Navi Marmara
flotilla to Gaza boat.
Alain Juppé, France new foreign minister, declared a new French
policy, which is to talk to the “moderate Islamists”, the Muslim
Brotherhood! Go figure that out.
And of course, France wants to recognize the Palestinian state, next
September at the UN!
Despite all that: Sarkozy seems to be the only acceptable choice for
the Presidential election in 2012 and I’ll probably vote for him. This
is how bad the political selection is.
I’m running for parliament in 2012, under a newly created seat and
need your support
In 2002 I lost against Sarkozy, but in 2008, I was elected deputy
mayor of the city of Neuilly-sur-Seine n the western suburbs of Paris,
where Sarkozy was previously the mayor.
I am now a candidate for the French parliament, the National Assembly.
The elections will take place on June 2012.
I’m running for a newly created seat: the French people living abroad
in Israel Italy, Greece and Turkey - Israel being the largest part of
the constituency - will elect their own MP.
It is a unique opportunity to gather a real and strong supporter of
ours, Israel and the US values, at the French parliament who in then
expected to convey a strong pro-Israeli, pro-democracy, pro-Western
message in the French politics.
This MP will not be one, among 500 other MPs. He will be the one who
will be interviewed in the media outlets when Israel, Turkey, Greece
and the Middle East will be in the news.
I really believe that running for this seat is the logical extension
of my fight against the frauds in the media. It will help me to
positively influence French politics and media, in a more favorable
way.
Since I am already the worst nightmare of the French media outlets,
that will strengthen my fight for truth.
There is nothing more that I would love to become than the worst
nightmare of the French political elite, the French establishment and
of the Politique Arabe de la France."
Sharing this article with as many will not only help Philippe Karsenty
to have a broader exposure but will strengthen the likelihood of him
being elected to the French Parliament, where a man like him is badly
needs.
