Marine Le Pen defends Israel: assumed support for the genocidal war waged against Gaza

On the set of i24News, a French -speaking Israeli channel known to relay without filter the justifications of the genocidal war waged against Gaza, Marine Le Pen expressed unambiguous support. In an icing speech, the former presidential candidate has clearly criticized Emmanuel Macron, judging “Unworthy” his declaration according to which “Gaza is shame”. “He keeps criticizing Israel, perhaps because he is unable to bring a solution to Islamist fundamentalism”she said, diverting responsibility for current massacres to make it a simple diplomatic quarrel.

On the situation in Gaza, she refused to question any question of the incredible violence of the Israeli army, declaring: “Israel does what it can in an extremely difficult situation”. Minimizing humanitarian suffering and tens of thousands of deaths – including a majority of women and children – she denounced international criticisms as “Contradictory injunctions”.

Marine Le Pen was expressed here on a chain which, for months, has been relaying speeches justifying bombing of civil zones, food seats and forced trips. Some I24News guests openly made remarks that are assimilated to the apology of war crimes, calling for “Crush Gaza” or at “Destroy everything that is there”.

In this context, Marine Le Pen’s words resonate as a political guarantee to a war of systematic destruction. She does not evoke the Palestinian victims or the documented violations of international law, preferring to reaffirm that “If the hostages are released, war ceases”. By bringing her voice to a narration that denies the reality of a carnage, Marine Le Pen is not content to support Israel. It takes part in a legitimation machine which, day after day, justifies the unjustifiable. A position which, in history, will eventually weigh heavy.
