Lors de son dernier séjour aux Etats-Unis, Nicolas
Sarkozy a reçu les principaux responsables des grandes
organisations sionistes américaines. Cette rencontre a
eu lieu au consulat français de New York le matin du
11 septembre 2006. Agissant de son propre chef, sans
mission officielle du gouvernement français, Sarkozy
s’est conduit en ministre des Affaires étrangères et
les propos qu’il aurait tenus sont inquiétants pour
l’avenir de la France, de l’Europe et du
Proche-Orient.
Pour autant que je sache, le Monde (France) et le
Figaro (France) n’ont rapporté l’évènement que de
façon superficielle, en indiquant seulement une
rencontre avec des "responsables d’organisations
juives", avec lesquelles Sarkozy aurait surtout
discuté de l’antisémitisme dans notre pays.
Cette discrétion pourrait s’expliquer par le secret
exigé des participants. Selon le New York Times en
effet :
"In a closed-door meeting with more than a dozen
Jewish leaders on Monday, [Sarkozy] said France should
not have waited as long as it did to commit troops to
Lebanon and went further than Mr. Chirac in
criticizing Hezbollah, calling it a "terrorist"
organization, according to one participant, who spoke
on condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to disclose what took place at the
meeting." [1]
Mais un autre quotidien newyorkais a révélé le nom des
participants et le contenu du discours de Sarkozy. En
voici les points forts :
"The meeting marked the first time a major French
presidential candidate has publicly cultivated
relations with the American Jewish community before an
election. (...) "I am a friend of America. I am a
friend of Israel," Mr. Sarkozy, the head of the
conservative party Union for a Popular Movement, said.
Among those attending yesterday’s meeting were the
chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations, Harold Tanner ; the
chairman of the policy council of the World Jewish
Congress, Rabbi Israel Singer ; the president of the
American Jewish Congress, Jack Rosen ; and officials
from the UJA, American Jewish Committee, and
Anti-Defamation League. (...) Mr. Sarkozy recently
called Hezbollah a terrorist organization, although
the European Union does not list it as such. He said
yesterday that Israel was the victim of aggression but
managed to lose the image war. (...) Mr. Sarkozy said
French authorities estimate that Iran will have
nuclear weapons within two to three years. "The only
response," he said "is firmness. We must keep all
options open, and not tie our hands to one single
strategy. We should not give Iran advance warning
about what the democratic world might do." Iran is on
the move in part because Iraq is no longer able to
contain it, he said. "Iran has a free hand ; they face
no enemies." If he is elected, he said, dealing with
Iran will be his "first priority." "I cannot accept a
head of state saying he will wipe Israel off the map,"
he said. Israel should explore the possibility of
talks with Syria in order to effect a split between
Damascus and Tehran, the interior minister said. And
Israel should be "more proactive," he said "When you
are small, you must be swift." [2]
Le lendemain, Sarkozy prononçait un nouveau discours
sur le même ton, cette fois-ci devant la
French-American Foundation à Washington. [3] Il
déjeunait ensuite avec Michael Chertoff, avant de
serrer la main de George Bush à la Maison Blanche, -
"an exceptional event for a mere minister", nous
précise le New York Times.
Le candidat Sarkozy s’apprête-t-il à attaquer l’Iran
aux côtés de l’empire israélo-américain ?
