So, Emmanuel Macron has finally written a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu. In it, the French president commits the ultimate crime in today’s political theater: he suggests that recognizing a Palestinian state is not antisemitism. Yes, you heard correctly. Supporting Palestinian statehood, Macron says, is actually essential for Israel’s security and for Europe’s stability. Imagine that — peace as a security strategy. Revolutionary!
Of course, Netanyahu wasted no time in dusting off his favorite script: everything critical of Israel = antisemitism. Macron’s letter is apparently “pouring fuel on the antisemitic fire,” because nothing says Jew-hatred like wanting Palestinians not to live in rubble and famine.
Macron, to his credit, fires back with the obvious: the occupation, displacement, starvation, and annexation aren’t exactly breeding global goodwill. In fact, they are making Israel a pariah, emboldening real antisemitism, and placing Jewish communities worldwide at greater risk. But hey, why confront uncomfortable truths when you can just call Macron an antisemite-by-proxy?
Meanwhile, Charles Kushner — yes, Jared’s father, because apparently American diplomacy is now a family franchise — rushes in to defend Netanyahu. In the Wall Street Journal, Kushner scolds Macron: recognizing Palestine will “embolden extremists” and “endanger Jewish life in France.” Translation: if you stop giving Israel a blank check, you’re responsible for the next broken synagogue window in Paris. The State Department, naturally, nodded along.
Let’s pause here. Sixty thousand Palestinians dead. Gaza in famine. Two million people displaced. Hospitals bombed. Journalists killed. Children starving to death on livestream. And yet the scandal, according to Netanyahu and his American echo chamber, is Macron daring to call for a Palestinian state at the UN in September.
Yes, Macron isn’t exactly a hero — France has been complicit for decades, and his “loyal friend” routine shows he’s still trying to hold both ends of the rope. But at least he’s acknowledging reality: Israel’s war is a humanitarian disaster that “nothing can justify.” That’s already light-years ahead of Washington’s gaslighting, where famine doesn’t exist until the IDF issues a press release confirming it.
Macron even hits Netanyahu with the question of the century:
“We are offering you a path forward… What path can you offer?”
The answer, of course, is obvious: more bombs, more starvation, more mass graves. Israel has only one path left, and it’s paved with blood and international isolation.
Netanyahu wants the world to believe that antisemitism is rising because Macron dares to recognize Palestine — not because Israel is livestreaming the obliteration of an entire people. That trick may have worked once. It doesn’t anymore. The mask is off, the world is watching, and Macron just said the quiet part out loud:
The fight against antisemitism must not be weaponized.
Finally, a European leader who manages to state the obvious — and for that, he’s treated like the arsonist of Paris.
