French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday that French-Israeli nationals are “children of France” who should never be accused of being perpetrators of genocide.

Speaking to Radio J, a French station covering Jewish community affairs, Macron said the fight against antisemitism is a fight of the republic.

“We cannot accept, we must never accept that any of our children, that any French person, be accused of being genocidal,” Macron said.

      they absolutely have values. european values. which in this contest means that they get to call other people genociders but nobody gets to call them genociders, ever. this is considered fair and enlightened.
