Below is the full interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and French President Emmanuel Macron. A portion of this interview aired on “Face the Nation”, however this is the complete interview.
Earlier today the U.K, Canada and Australia, 3 of the Five-Eyes western intelligence networks, announced their recognition of a Palestinian state. France will announce the same tomorrow. Israel is now slightly more vulnerable and in a diminished position of support from the western allied nations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more dependent on support from the U.S. than ever before.
President Macron is also facing significant domestic opposition, and his prior appointed Prime Ministers have failed and been removed. The French economy is struggling, and Macron has deflected attention to the Ukraine war in an effort to avoid domestic accountability. With the Ukraine vs Russia conflict taking a lower profile, thanks in part to President Trump’s approach – demanding NATO/EU stop purchasing Russian energy products in order to gain U.S. support for increased sanctions, Macron now shifts attention to the Israel-Hamas war.

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay, Mr. President, if you’re ready, we’ll dive right in.
PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON: Thank you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Thank you for having us here. You know, most countries in the world recognize Palestinian statehood. It’s 147 of 193 countries at the UN, but France is going to be the first western UN Security Council member to do so. What conditions are there for this?
PRESIDENT MACRON: Look, thank you, and thank you for being here and offering me the opportunity to have such a discussion. I think it was a necessity first to decide this recognition, and I will announce it on the 22nd of September at the United Nations, precisely because we are at the very moment where if we want peace and security for all in the region, we have to preserve the condition of a political perspective for everybody. So we will announce the recognition, but which is the beginning of a political process and a peace and security plan for everybody. So right after this- this recognition, we have a first phase, which is, I would say, the emergency phase, ceasefire, release of all hostages..and third, restoring the humanitarian roads and the stabilization of Gaza. We have a second package, which is the day after we will revert on that how to organize Gaza in terms of governance, security and reconstruction. And third package, the perspective of the two states. But recognizing the Palestinian state today is the only way to provide a political solution to a situation which has to stop.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But you are not making the release of the hostages a condition before recognition–
PRESIDENT MACRON: So this is a clear condition before we will open an embassy. This is the first series of conditions and requirements we will push- we will put in the peace process. But we will announce the 22nd this recognition of Palestinian state.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this is a ‘reckless decision.’ That’s the word he used. He said it gives Hamas little incentive to actually start diplomacy to release the hostages. Why do you disagree with that sequencing?
PRESIDENT MACRON: So my first point is to say, I don’t answer the Hamas with that. I don’t meet the expectations of Hamas. Hamas is just obsessed by destroying Israel, but I recognize the legitimacy of so many Palestinian people who want a state, who are a people. They want a nation, they want a state, and we should not push them towards Hamas. If we don’t offer them a political perspective and such a recognition, the unique answer will be security, and they will be completely trapped by Hamas as a unique option. My second point is, thanks to this recognition, and thanks to the diplomatic move we launched, we started to isolate Hamas because we- at the New York declaration, which was voted, as you know, by 142 countries. We gathered all the Arab League states, all the leaders of the regions, to work closely with us to precisely dismantle and disarm Hamas. Till now, they were not engaged in such a move. Now we gathered all these states, all these people to work closely with us in this move. So I think this is why we can create the condition of a concrete action, first, to give this right to the Palestinian people, second, to isolate Hamas from the rest of the Palestinians and the whole region, and precisely build security. But let me tell you something which is, for me, very important in this context, Israel had wonderful security results against Hezbollah Hamas top leaders, and managed to- to neutralize a lot of top decision makers of terrorist groups. They did it. This is their merit. But in terms of fighting against Hamas, this is a failure of today. They started–
MARGARET BRENNAN: What is a failure?
PRESIDENT MACRON: –Because they- they killed all the key leaders- this is a success. But at the beginning of this war, you had more or less 25,000 Hamas fighters. The Israeli army killed probably half of them, but Hamas managed to recruit the equivalent. You have as many fighters at the very beginning, which is the best evidence of the fact, if we want to dismantle Hamas, the total war is not the answer, because it’s just killing the credibility of Israel- and by the way, weakening and killing our own credibility if we don’t make a move as the one we are organizing.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But you just pointed to something that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would say, well, this is why we need to continue until we get rid of every Hamas member. You’re saying you can’t kill that idea, you need to provide a different idea?
PRESIDENT MACRON: Exactly. But this is so- this is the whole perspective. And look at the situation, not just by the war in Gaza, but everywhere in the region. Hamas was clearly not backed by a lot of people before the seventh of October. If you took the polls in Gaza, but in all the countries of the region, they were very low in all the polls. Today, the level of support is much higher, because they are making the mistake, in fact, to reduce all the perspective of the Palestinians to the Hamas. What we have to say is we want the dismantling of Hamas. You had this success, there is no more top leaders. We want to isolate them. We want to bring everybody working with us to dismantle the Hamas. But recognizing this right to have a Palestinian state through a diplomatic channel, this just giving another channel and offering a political way and isolating Hamas. So, I think there is no future with the option, which would be just, let’s kill the maximum number of Hamas people, because they just recruit others and others. Because each time they launch this type of operation, they kill so many civilians that they are just destroying their own reputation and credibility, and they are creating an unsustainable framework of security in the whole region.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But, since October 7th, popular support in Israel for a Palestinian state has also declined. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been opposed for a very, very long time, and now he says that just look at those attacks that day. If you allow for any kind of Palestinian state, it will be a launch-pad for terrorism. I mean, that is his argument, that this shows you can’t allow for the safety and security of Israel if there are two states. Why is he wrong?
PRESIDENT MACRON: First, I want to- I want to say that the seventh of October was a total trauma for everybody in our country here, because we had so many French people being killed during the seventh of October terrorist attack launched by Hamas. And- and it was, for us, one of the biggest terrorist attack against our own fellow citizen. But we- we did share, and we do share, the pain and the suffer of Israeli people and so many families. And for me, the top priority remains the release of hostages. And I met very regularly families of hostages, and I have to say that what they live is unbearable. And I had the opportunity meet with (unintel) Guy’s mother and so many of them, and what they describe is absolutely unbearable. But, I consider that if we want precisely to build a sustainable peace for Israel itself and for Israeli people, a political process and the recognition of a Palestinian state, if the state recognizes the right of Israel to live and defend itself, is demilitarized, has security forces with the vetting process by Israel, with, obviously, a proper governance and reform governance and- and is precisely we have a series of reform which are part of the process.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But that’s it, right? You are talking about recognizing the Palestinian Authority, which has some governance over the West Bank, already was working with Israeli security forces. But Hamas came to power through the ballot box in the first place.
PRESIDENT MACRON: Look, it’s- if we are honest, it’s totally different. And this is why I think- let’s accept the fact that a lot of people worked very hard to kill the credibility of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza years ago, and Hamas appeared as precisely as sort of an alternative option. But, terrorist attacks were launched by Hamas, not by Palestinian Authority. And if we say all those living in Gaza, and all those backing the Palestinian state are de-facto the support of Hamas, there is no end to this war except the you kill everybody. And this is this is terrible. So we have to recognize that the Palestinian Authority has to be reformed. The governance is not satisfactory today. We need a new- you have a new- we need a new Palestinian Authority. But, let’s just remark, and, please notice with me, that thanks to the recognition process we launched, for the first time for many years, we got, the ninth of June, a series of clear commitments from the Palestinian Authority. They refused till now. The reform; a new vice president being elected, reform of the education program, a pay forcely, obviously, program as well, with the monitoring by a US audit structure. So we don’t just theories —
MARGARET BRENNAN: And they denounced October 7th–
PRESIDENT MACRON: — And for the very first time —
MARGARET BRENNAN: –20 months later.
PRESIDENT MACRON: This is true. But for what? Because we made this move. So the recognition is the way as well to re engage and bring them back in the table. And my point is to say, let’s isolate Hamas, and let’s focus on the dismantling of Hamas from a military and a political point of view. In order to do so, we have to re-engage with those who can be, I would say, a political achievement for Palestinian people. And this is why the recognition is so important. And if we revert to West Bank, one of the key elements which triggered my decision to announce in July, the perspective of the recognition for the 22nd of September is a vote of the Knesset. When the Knesset decided to start the settlements again in West Bank, it was the best evidence of the fact that they don’t want to fight against Hamas. There is no Hamas in West Bank. They just want to destroy the existing political bodies, and the possibility of the two states. And I really believe this is a terrible mistake for Israel itself, because in doing so, they just kill any other perspective that war.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But when you- I understand the argument you are making, but it has put you at direct odds with the Trump administration, who argue that your decision to make this recognition announcement, along with all these UN members, that it, in fact, kills the diplomacy they had underway. They said they were working to get, for example, the tax money from the Israelis to hand back over to the Palestinian Authority, that they were doing practical things on the ground to help Palestinians. Secretary Rubio said, that West Bank division you were talking about with the settlements, he drew a direct line to your recognition. Why do you think they’re blaming you for that?
PRESIDENT MACRON: Look, first, I think we all work very hard in order to improve the situation of- of people on the ground. And let me tell you that France, a lot of French people, French doctors, French citizen, French members of NGOs, are working very hard with our administration as well to help Palestinian people. And during the past years, we worked very (UNINTEL) and financed a lot of actions as well being led by UNRWA. Second, I think my- my objective is precisely to- to provide another perspective. We- we- we are closely coordinated with the U.S. administration when we speak about the ceasefire and the release of hostages. We were always in close coordination with Secretary of State, or- or key- key President Trump’s advisors, in order to work with Qatar, Egypt, and Israel on the release of hostages, of ceasefire. But your administration is focusing on the day after. And what we propose is a full-fledged plan, where we have first, the emergency package. So let’s deliver release of all hostages, ceasefire, and- and humanitarian access. The day we have that, we start the day after. And I think we are very convergent with the work which is being done by- by your administration. What we want is a de facto governance in Gaza, with clearly a sort of transitional- transitional administration, including the Palestinian Authority, excluding, clearly, Hamas. But with a vetting process of Israel and an association of all the neighbors, we have a security package in this- in this day after approach, which is, let’s scale up the training of the policemen and security forces of the Palestinians, and–
MARGARET BRENNAN: Who will do that?
PRESIDENT MACRON: We- we are already doing that, we’re doing so. Many countries of the regions. It does exist, but we need a scale up, and in parallel, we proposed, and we work very closely with the United Kingdom, and all the leaders of the region, precisely to offer a military- I would say, an international force to be deployed in Gaza, with a UN mandate. Which is a unique framework to be defended, and which could be legitimate, to assist and- and back, I would say, this policemen and security forces. And–
MARGARET BRENNAN: But you know, Israel does not trust the United Nations at all.
PRESIDENT MACRON: No- this is a UN framework, but this- first, they would have a vetting process of all the structure, and it would involve Jordan, Egypt, and some of- some others are ready as well to finance. But obviously it is to be made in close coordination with Israel. And in the security package, obviously, the core element is a dismantling of Hamas. There is no other option if you want to fix the situation, to disarm the Hamas, and precisely, to demobilize so many fighters, to organize what we call a DDR process, which is very familiar to all the experts in- in this type of situation. And this is in this day after for Gaza, in the security package, that we can organize such a DDR, vis a vis Hamas. And to be sure that Hamas will never be involved in the government, but that Hamas will be disarmed, dismantled, with some key people to leave Gaza and some other to be deradicalized, and the weapons to be taken. In order to do so, you need clear security forces here. You need these international forces to be here. And obviously we have the reconstruction. On that, I think there is a strong alignment with the United States. My point is, the recognition and the process we launched with that is the only way to bring with us, on this track, all the neighbors and key countries in order to deliver such a package. And- and look at the situation today, when Egypt, when so many leaders of the region, are not comfortable with what is being done. You need to re-engage them. And this is exactly what we are doing. But my point is to say, if we don’t have this full package, the day after is impossible, because today, de facto, you are accepting the displacement of population in Gaza City. How do you want the day after to be possible if you displace thousands of people?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, exactly on this point, when you say, day after, that means when the war ends and some kind of rebuilding happens. What you’re talking about with the Trump administration is this idea of having Palestinians leave Gaza, by choice, they say. But some would say that is a step towards ethnic cleansing. In fact, an independent commission set up by the UN concluded Israel has a, quote, “intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, as defined by the Genocide Convention.” Does France agree with that report?
PRESIDENT MACRON: No, we don’t qualify as a genocide what’s happening because it is not a political statement. This is the judges or the, and or the historians to qualify a genocide by a series of evidence and a clear jurisprudence and clear elements.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So you reject that report and that finding?
And this is where I try to convince your administration that if we agree on the day after and we want this de facto authority, the security package, the dismantling of Hamas and the reconstruction, let’s work on the current day.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.
PRESIDENT MACRON: If you accept de facto Israel to displace these people, you will never see a day after. And by the way, I look very carefully at all the plans being shared by your administration or shared by experts working for your administration. They always reiterate, let’s work and build Gaza for Gazans. It means that they are ready to preserve and protect Palestinian people because Gazans are those who are living in Gaza. But if the precondition of such a plan is to push them out, this is just a craziness. So we, we should not be—for the credibility of the United States, for the credibility of France–we cannot be implicitly or explicitly complacent with such a project. Because such a project, we know it. And by the way, all the security experts, even in Israel, are very clear on the fact it will be a humanitarian disaster. And this project will, will kill the possibility of a day after. So we have to be very explicit on the fact that attacking civilians just to get a few, a few terrorists and a few fighters is clearly not acceptable. But displacing people in order just to take a territory, which is not in the hands of Israel, in order to prepare the day after, is not just totally crazy, but unacceptable for all of us.
MARGARET BRENNAN : So France has one of the largest both Muslim and Jewish populations —
PRESIDENT MACRON: — This is true. —
MARGARET BRENNAN: — in all of Europe. The U.S. Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, the father of the son-in-law to the President of the United States, Jared’s father, he published an article, and I know you’ve you’ve read it, saying France is not dealing with antisemitism here in France. He said “not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior Ministry has reported antisemitic incidents even at preschools.” Do you accept this criticism as genuine and valid?
PRESIDENT MACRON: Not at all. I think this is a mistake and an unacceptable statement for somebody who is supposed to be a diplomat.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Unacceptable statement.
PRESIDENT MACRON: Yes, never a French Ambassador will be allowed to do so. So either you are a person who wants to express freely. Fine. If you are a diplomat, you have to follow the rule of diplomacy. And I’m not the one, this is you to pay the Ambassador of the United States in France, but the taxpayer money is not properly used to finance this kind of statement. So this is not a speech, a letter or a word of an ambassador. This is unacceptable. Now, the matter is much more important. And the matter about antisemitism is, for me, one of my top priority. I was the first president in France to adopt the definition of antisemitism, making it the equivalent of anti-zionism. And I’ve always been very engaged, again, antisemitism. We’ve worked very hard during the past few years in order to precisely re-engage, have faster sanctions and I never neglected this topic.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You know in the U.S. sometimes people hear criticism of Israel as antisemitic. —
PRESIDENT MACRON: No. —
MARGARET BRENNAN: — But you’re saying it’s different. —
PRESIDENT MACRON: –No. My point is to say, you can, you cannot reject the existence of Israel. Ani, anti-Zionism is unacceptable and is antisemitism. But it doesn’t mean that you are not allowed to be in disagreement with the Government of Israel. Otherwise we will become crazy. I’m sorry, but I want to fight very hard against anti, antisemitism. I am very against any anti-Zionist speech, but I do endorse to be in disagreement with Prime Minister Netanyahu and some of his ministers on many topics. It doesn’t make me an antisemitic. Otherwise we are completely trapped in an impossible world. And this is precisely why the public debate makes this situation completely crazy. If we want peace and stability and unity, we have to be precise, sharp and respectful. So in this country, for many years, we had this problem with antisemitism like in a lot of other countries.
What I disagree with is the argument made by your ambassador and the Prime Minister of Israel, in another public letter, making a link between the recognition and antisemitism. You have, you have a surge of antisemitism in the U.S. and you don’t recognize. You have a surge of antisemitism in Germany. Nothing to do with recognition. Everywhere we have such a surge of antisemitism. It started before the seventh of October. A lot of these guys expressed their antisemitism the seventh of October itself. How, as awful it could be, but they did and it increased after. We have to fight against this phenomenon. We have to read – first, we have to sanction. We just passed a law for our high schools and universities to improve the regulations and to be in a situation to sanction all the antisemitism being expressed there. So we are very hard. We work very hard with the Jewish community in, in our country. And, and Jewish people are part of the DNA of the French Republic. So no chance anybody here will abandon the situation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Has this hurt your relationship with the U.S.?
PRESIDENT MACRON: No, I don’t think so.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Because you do have a few other points of friction right now, or different views than the Trump administration.
PRESIDENT MACRON: My objective on this- on this- on this issue, is- is very clearly to- to engage on the basis of the plan we will put on the table with, with the U.S. administration. And there is a work, an important work, which is made by Mr. Witkoff, Secretary Rubio, but as well Jared Kushner and Tony Blair. So we had many exchange with, with these people and and they work very hard on, on, on important ideas. So my objective is clearly to to engage with this administration, and to show that we can clearly articulate what they have in mind and a full-fledged peace and security plan for all.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about what’s happening here in Europe. In regard to Russia, NATO jets were scrambled twice within just the past few weeks because of these Russian drones that have been crossing into Poland and into Romania. It’s the first time in NATO’s history that they had to shoot down enemy crafts that had crossed in do you believe that these incursions could have been a mistake, as President Trump has suggested?
PRESIDENT MACRON: Very clearly, Russia is a destabilizing and aggressive power in Europe. They increased, during the past few weeks, the attacks against Kiev and killing a lot of civilians. They destroyed official buildings of the Ukrainian government, but as well premises of the UK Government, of the European Union. And at the same time, during the same weeks, they violated the Polish and the Romanian air. There is no mistake. There is just a project which is to destroy the maximum territories of Ukraine, to have a victory in Ukraine, and just to highlight what they want, the weakness of NATO.
MARGARET BRENNAN: NATO says they’re still investigating. They are not as certain as you seem to be–
PRESIDENT MACRON: –No. I’m not saying–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –that Russia did this intentionally.
PRESIDENT MACRON: I just say this is not totally i- This is not a specific point. If we had a situation where they were declining or decreasing the attacks against Kiev and and on the battlefield. I could accept this argument. My point is to say it’s largely beyond that. My point is to say, look at what they did during the past few weeks. So, I sincerely believe that your president was committed and is committed to to make peace in Ukraine, and he engaged, he took the risk to make a summit with President Putin in Anchorage and- and he asked for negotiations. And I think he’s right. But at the same time, I have to, just to recognize that there is no clear willingness of President Putin to be sincerely engaged in such a move, because as we were working on a diplomatic way, as we were trying to organize bilateral, trilateral, quadrilateral summit, the Russians were increasing the assaults in Donbas, but not just in Donbas, intensified provocations on one side and attacks on Kyiv on the other side. So I just look at the facts, and your president is as well looking at the facts. So now, what do we do? We have to increase sanctions against Russia, but we have to find the way to precisely put more pressure on Russia to bring them back at the table. In parallel, let me insist on one point. When we came to Washington D.C., a series of European leaders with President Zelenskyy, we took a commitment, we will work to provide to Ukraine security guarantees, and we delivered. A few days ago here in Paris, we gathered what we call the coalition of the willing. You have 30 countries working together in order to provide the day after peace security guarantees to Ukraine. So we have all these elements now with an historical commitment of the Europeans who provide the security guarantees to Ukraine. What we need now is Ukraine to be at the table with Russia and negotiating what the peace agreement could be, on territory, on security guarantee, on the escalation, on recovery etc.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And you don’t see any eviden- evidence of Russian interest. I mean it’s been more than–
PRESIDENT MACRON: –So now we have to step up, and we need political, military and economic surge in order to bring them back at the table and to negotiate.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So to that point, because it’s now more than a month since that Alaska Summit, that big risk you said President Trump took. When he’s been asked, so why not put sanctions or secondary tariffs on Russia, he points back here at Europe and the consumption of Russian oil and gas that still takes place. I know Hungary and Slovakia, for example, continue to use it.
PRESIDENT MACRON: This is true, and we are fixing it. And we had discussion with Ursula von der Leyen, and she made a great work with with her teams to fix that. But let’s be honest, this is very marginal. This is not a key driver today. We decreased by more than 80% the consumption of oil and gas. And I can tell you, because we were not the most impacted as a country, because we were less dependent on this oil- oil- oil and gas coming from Russia. But we have to finalize- to finish the job. This is true, but now it’s clearly much more that when we are to do- what we have to do. We- we have to step up our support to Ukraine, and we have to provide the way to better resist to the new attacks on Kiev and civilians.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What’s the delay on the sanctions or tariffs then?
PRESIDENT MACRON: As soon as possible. If it depends just on me, tomorrow. But it doesn’t just depend on me. So I hope, I think we have to react collectively if you want my- my strong view, I think it’s very important. I think we all agree we want peace. We all agree the problem is Russia because they don’t want peace. So now we have to increase the pressure to convince Russia to come back at the table.
MARGARET BRENNAN: As the Trump administration has pointed to the idea that there are billions of dollars sitting in European bank accounts that could be seized, for example. Or that, you know, here you could put more tariffs on China or sanctions on China. Are these valid arguments by the administration, or are these–
PRESIDENT MACRON: –Look, regarding the frozen assets we are all very much attached to- to be compliant with international rules. And you cannot seize these assets from the central bank even in such a situation. And I think it’s a matter of credibility, and it’s very important that our countries remain [inaudible] and do respect the international laws. Because this is our problem everywhere. If we speak about Middle East, if we speak about the situation in Ukraine, when some countries start to disrespect international laws and when we are not sufficiently strong, this is the beginning of a total chaos. So we will respect international law. We are predictable, and we will not do all impossible things with these frozen assets. We already took them as, not as a collateral, but we took this frozen asset, and all the proceeds coming from this frozen asset were used to finance our efforts, part of our effort to Ukraine. This is the first point. As for your second point, it was sorry–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –I asked about the China aspect. That the administration would like you to push back on China more.
PRESIDENT MACRON: Look, I think we will have our own diplomacy on China, and we are very much attached to our independence, which is normal. And we have a de-risking strategy, but we are not in a decoupling strategy.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So that’s a no on the pressure from the administration to do that?
PRESIDENT MACRON: My point is, let’s focus on some secondary sanctions, if they make sense. I think what we- what we have to do is to engage a serious dialogue in order to see where and in which capacity Russia is helped by third countries, and to increase the pressure. So I think this approach is a good one, but it should be targeted and directly related to Russia. And I think- what I don’t think what we- what we will do as Europeans with the US administration, it is working hard in all capacity by capacity, product by product, to see the key countries allowing Russia, sometimes to have a third way and to avoid sanctions or to benefit from the current situation. This is what we call the secondary sanction, because you don’t sanction directly Russia, but a third country which is helping them, and this job has to be made, has already started technically. I’m totally in favor of this job.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And just a final question here to ask you again about NATO. The US has not contributed fighter jets to that new effort that was just recently announced after the drone incursions. The Supreme Allied Commander is an American, but does that signal something to you? Does that concern you that the United States isn’t more muscular here?
PRESIDENT MACRON: No, I’m not concerned or worried about that. I want to say that the NATO Secretary General worked very hard, and we all gathered and exchanged information with the Polish Prime Minister and the Polish president in the hours right after this, what happened. And for instance, UK and France stepped up and we sent fighters. But it’s fine. We were in a situation to do so, and we are totally credible. But at the same time, look at what the US is doing in on the Eastern flank of NATO. You are a very strong contributor and reliable partner. So I don’t want to- to diminish this role and your commitment and- and I think your President was very clear about, as well, his commitment to NATO. But I- I’m totally in line with the fact that the Europeans have to step up. I’ve defended for years the fact that we need more independence, more strategic autonomy in- in Europe, and we need a stronger European pillar. This is why, by the way, right after my first election, I started to increase the budget of our army, and in 10 years, we will have doubled this budget. And- and I am already in favor of having all the Europeans increasing their budget, their defense expenditures, and as well building an actual industry research and development basis for defense and security, working together and building a strong, consistent European pillar in NATO. Because it’s fair that the US wants to focus much more on its own security, or wants to work much more on the Pacific side, and asks Europeans to be more engaged and committed for their own security. I share this perspective, and this is one of the priority of the Europeans.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Mr. President. Thank you for your time today.
PRESIDENT MACRON: Thank you very much for being here and offering me this opportunity to explain our views. Thank you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Thank you.
In Canada we are being crushed by a tax burden and cost of living burden that is truly unimaginable.
I believe that we are receiving our due reward for our treatment of Israel.
If there is any consolation, I could see the US recognizing an Alberta independent of Ottawa in the near future. Who knows? Alberta might be joined by Saskatchewan and Manitoba among others.
id take them in a heartbeat.. they would fit in well with our country
Can we trade Washjngton, Oregon, MN, VT and NY for them?
You seem mighty eager to throw the many respected posters here and hundreds of thousands of other conservatives in washington and oregon to the wolves. Noted.
And you can spare me any ‘you’re just getting what you deserve’ bigotry, because blame the victim games just don’t work on me.
Perhaps you’re fortunate enough to live in a red state where you’re not forced into vote by mail or under siege by a lawless junta…yet…, but that shouldn’t be considered an entitlement to flippantly pass judgement on and propose to write off hundreds of thousands of law abiding conservative who are fighting with everything we have to reclaim our rights and restore the rule of law to our states.
Prayers and encouragement would be the more logical approach, because every time the left gets a foothold anywhere and every time an American state’s rights are ripped off, it just makes it that much easier for them to come for your state and your rights next.
We call ourselves the United States for a reason.
Manitoba is iffy, according to Dekester.
Albertan here. Alberta and Saskatchewan definitely, as well as the parts of British Columbia that are non-lower mainland and non-southern tip of Vancouver Island, though the Supreme Court of Canada has pronounced in the Quebec reference case that while a province can theoretically separate from Canada (on certain fairly difficult conditions), a portion of a province is not divisible from the rest of the province/Canada. But under no circumstances is Manitoba a candidate to join Alberta and Saskatchewan in freedom, as Manitoba is an irredeemable socialist crap hole like the rest of Canada. For the same reasons the US should resist any temptation to annex Canada as the ”51st State”. Doing so would be a poison pill equivalent to adding another California.
Welcome to the Treehouse Brian! 😀
longtime lurker, finally decided to comment
If that is so with respects to Manitoba, I stand corrected.
I would wish you the best whether Albertans elect for independence from Ottawa and economic treaties with the United States as a fully independent Nation, or admission to the Union as another State among equals. The choice they say, is yours.
May Albertans be the people that you’ve striven to be, and be fulfilled.
Well, Dan, look out below…
Behold the UK and what potentially awaits after the jackbooted Starmer announces that Britain will recognize a Palestinian state tomorrow (I believe).
And as Carney has announced he wishes to ally with the EU and Blighty where he was Bank of England head for years, be watchful, dear friend.

They tried appeasement mit der feurer, and we all know how that worked out, but here they are again, apparently having learned nothing, and trying again to placate and appease a blood thirsty enemy hell bent on europe’s total conquest and enslavement.
Am I wrong?
Feds Warn of New al-Qaida Plot in Memo
https://www.newsmax.com/us/al-qaida-yemen-national-counterterrorism-center/2025/09/20/id/1227164/
Apparently credible threat to US hospitals in major cities. So people won’t be able to get help after secondary attacks.
I saw multiple articles naming UK, CA and AUS but weirdly not France in this effort to recognize a Palestinian state.
This was the third of my recent nightmares and I don’t normally ever get nightmares.
This doesn’t sound good, and I sure hope you’re not having precognitive dreams. God forbid these things should actually come about.
Prayers up for our security defenders and first responders, and that they’re equipped and able to pro-actively repel anything like what’s described by the linked report.
Fortunately, there have been recent high court decisions restoring citizens’ right to continue using high capacity magazines, and while I don’t condone or advocate vigilantism, defense of the common good in the case of terror attacks is another story entirely.
If push came to shove, Americans might prove to be a whole lot harder to overcome than some other populations like france and great briton, for example.
More and more people every day are carrying and becoming prepared to defend themselves. I think it makes for a safer society when there’s always someone on hand to make sure any would-be mass shooter can never be able to get off more than one round before they’re stopped.
Gun free zones have become just shooting galleries for the bad guys, and it’s time to change that.
US Hospitals, especially trauma centers, are not as soft of targets as they used to be. During any civil disturbance and any mass casualty event hospitals now have lockdown procedures in place and routinely practice them. Most large inner city hospitals have some degree of visitor control. Having said all that, targeting hospitals likely would not provide the terrorists the outcomes they want. It would take a very large terrorist cell to severely impact a hospital.
Good points.
I will add that in this county the hospital allows properly credentialed individuals to carry, which I understand to include licensed concealed carriers.
In a mostly rural community like this the good guys would rally quickly to any hostile attempt on the hospital. Or any other critical facility, for that matter. Antifa attempted to pay us a visit a few years back, but when they realized there was a welcoming party waiting for them they turned around and ran away right quick. And haven’t been back.
“Feds Warn of New al-Qaida Plot in Memo”
Just in time for Christmas.
Ya ain’t wrong, Ma!
I think those who’d come against us might be greatly surprised and sorely disappointed to learn just how dangerous it would be to push Americans too far.
I’d hate to see it become necessary, and I pray it never will. But I also think there’s still a lot of true grit in enough of us as a people that we’re best just left alone to live in peace.
It might be time for the US to recognize the Basque homeland, Corsica, Brittany and Scotland as independent countries. Take that Macron and Starmer!
Your tax burden is directly linked to your treatment of Israel? LOL nice try
Just stop. If you don’t accept what they’re selling the DeSantis wing cheers. You must accept or you will help the anti-MAGA crowd, or at least that’s what I’ve been told.
“I believe that we are receiving our due reward for our treatment of Israel”
You don’t think the stupidity of electing the dumbest, wackiest, dingbats to political office over the past decade had anything to do with the situation that Canadians are now burdened with?
Larry, Moe, and Curly. Installed, never elected.
Normally I would tend to agree, but unfortunately a large portion of Canadians did support Sparklesocks, and his “colorful” sidekick.
PRESIDENT MACRON: “So we have to recognize that the Palestinian Authority has to be reformed. The governance is not satisfactory today. We need a new- you have a new- we need a new Palestinian Authority.”
Meet the new boss…….same as the old boss…………………….
As if the last several decades were not explicitly to preserve the status quo, and the measured chaos.
I can already already imagine the hyperbolic reactions if the US were to exercise it’s veto on the UN Security Council.
PRESIDENT MACRON: “So we have to recognize that the Palestinian Authority has to be reformed. The governance is not satisfactory today. We need a new- you have a new- we need a new Palestinian Authority.”
It’s amazing that these (as they were called in Britain) RR minds (I guess it would be Citroen intelligence in France) are absolutely incapable of learning. It is not that long ago when the Western countries – including the US (GW Bush, no less) demanded that the local elections in the PA area should encompass Gaza. They were all convinced that Abbas and his Fatah/PA would win, and that would be the beginning of a peace process. But there were many – many from Israel, but others as well – but with less power who warned that this would not end well and Hamas would win. Well, the second group was right, and a few months after Hamas had won the elections they killed the remaining “opposition”, and so killed the so called peace preocess.
Now, I’m not saying that Abbas’s party is good – he himself is an old holocaust denier – but compared to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, it is probably the only game in town if one wants to restart some kind of peace process. But everyone who knows anything about the opinion in the PA areas in the so called West Bank knows that Abbas and his party would lose hands down to Hamas if there was an election today.
So, if this “genius” who sits on the “republican throne” of France wants another Palestinian Autority he will have one, not least now when he has shown the palestinian arabs that violence and terror wins in the long run. It will be Hamas!
But, in the end Macron does not care about that. What he cares about is the fact that France’s economy is crashing. If he had been able to trust that Germany would agree to an EU- or at least Eurozone-wide borrowing union he might not have played his Islamist/Palestine card, but he knows he cannot trust that Germany will give over the run of their whole economy to ECB and France. So he must look elsewhere. My guess is that he is expecting aid from Quatar. So in keeping with her history La Belle France is selling herself to the highest bidder.
I think there is a name for such sellers, non? 🤔
The English word begins with a “p”, I think. 😉
And all its synonyms.
Want to spin the wheel and solve the puzzle in my post above? lol
P _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Shecky, I’d like to buy a vowel.

Mais oui! Sale traître.
Macaroni and the rest of E.U. modern – day Bourbons should pay heed to this Frenchman’s quote: “They have learned nothing and have forgotten nothing”.
That statement sums up the naivete of the Euros. Perhaps he wants to quiet the Muslims that have taken over parts of France. What fools. It will only cause their demands to escalate.
I see zero evidence to suggest that the Palestinian Authority can be reformed in a good way.
That will happen right about the same time that a leopard starts changing its spots.
How many times did Yasser Arafat agree to a resolution that would bring peace to the area, only to back away at the last minute and return to his violent ways? And Hamas? This is why I said, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
They killed so hard.
They deserve a state
Puke.
Will a new Palestine recognize Israel’s right to exist-doubtful
The Palestinian Authority is Hamas in a business suit. The acceptable borders of a Free Palestine will be Jordan on the East and the Mediterranean on the West. They will recognize the right of Israel to “exist” but just not anywhere in the Middle East.
So continued conflict, war and death to so many people.
If macron keeps bending over for them they’ll soon refuse to recognize france’s right to exist.
And justly so. Fwance offers little more resistance to conquest than Belgium, door mat of Europe.
Sure appears so, doesn’t it?
I sometimes watch Tousi tv, and recently heard him say the muslim problem in france is far far worse than the one in great briton.
Things in france appear to be reaching critical mass. They’ve got serious rioting going on nation wide, and the socialists have partnered up with the islamists in a desperate attempt to keep macron in power.
This might help explain his pandering gambit in gaza.
Ugly business.
Maybe when the Muslim invaders consolidate their power in France they can declare France New Palestine.
No North Algeria.
Trump: “What he says doesn’t matter”. France is gone along with Britain. They passed the point of no return. Courtesy of the Progressives who opened their gates to hostile cultures.

I wanted to ask you David, who were the main backers of the creation of Israel at the Zionist Congress besides Herzl?
Also who were the dissenters? Ty
For a deep, objective understanding of the creation of the state of Israel, I would recommend the website https://from-time-immemorial.com/about/ . Joan Peters, who wrote the original “From Time Immemorial” book, started out as a self-described pro-Palestinian journalist.
Macron is just continuing the French tradition of evil which was on full display in the Dreyfus affair.
I think Joan Peters was revealed as a fraud, and her book the creation of a foreign intelligence agency. The story is told by Ron Unz and others, e.g.: American Pravda: The Nakba and the Holocaust :
“Joan Peters had been a college drop-out and free-lance writer, with interest in the Middle East but having little historical expertise. Then in 1984, her name suddenly appeared as the author of From Time Immemorial, a remarkably scholarly volume, running 600 pages with nearly 2,000 footnotes, a book that made the revolutionary claim that the Palestinians did not really exist as a people. According to her Introduction, she had begun the research project years earlier quite sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian refugees and intending to focus on their miserable condition, but she gradually encountered more and more clues that they were largely a propaganda-concoction fabricated by Israel’s Arab enemies. So she then spent years digging in musty archives, carefully researching the underlying demographic data and finally producing her masterwork, which was eagerly released by a leading New York publisher.
A gigantic wave of almost uniformly glowing reviews praised her exhaustive scholarship, propelling her book onto all the bestseller lists…”
I first studied the book in a Middle Eastern politics course under a professor who was involved at a high level at the time the country of Israel was formed in the 1940’s. Remember, the term “occupied territories” was first used by Hitler’s Germany to describe the “German” Sudetenland to convince Chamberlain et al that peace in their time would be accomplished by Czechoslovakia turning over those “occupied territories” to Germany.
The various departments of state also fabricated the “Lawrence of Arabia” myth. Alan Dershowitz has addressed the criticism of Peters. As we “know”, foreign intelligence agencies also interfered with our 2016 presidential election.
Considering Ron Unz is currently contemplating that Israel’s government may have had a part to play in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I find him a questionable source at best.
While this may be somewhat non-neutral, the general premise of the report is sound [no, the UN has never bothered to independently investigate this “matter”]:
https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/09/07/un-report-reveals-263-billion-in-losses-suffered-by-jews-expelled-from-arab-countries-since-1948/
There were over a million Jews living in the neighboring Muslim countries in 1948, who were expelled to Israel and not compensated for property. There are under 12,000 now in those same countries. The UN never bothered to consider the expelled Jews to be refugees.
I live in an area where I can enter Middle-eastern restaurants and see on the walls maps of “from the river [Jordan] to the sea [Mediterranean]” Palestine. Israel is smaller than New Jersey. Gaza was actually a nice area before it was turned over to the Palestinians (the Jews were forcibly removed).
To look at the area through a 21st century western political lens is ridiculous. The Palestinians are tribal entities (I had to memorize over 100 of them for my class), with tribal alliances, who absolutely believe lying is perfectly acceptable if it helps accomplish their desired ends. One of those desired ends of many of them is to bring about the rise of the 12th Imam. They are looking for a rapidly approaching, apocalyptic end of civilization as we know it, and it requires the death of all Jews and Christians, as has been repeatedly stated. Just because most Christians take most of the Bible as allegory does not mean that other religions do the same.
The two state solution seems to be the logical outcome to solve the problems. If the Palestinian state fails due to terrorism, then Palestinians are forever damned to hell on earth and every country in the world will agree. Problem solved. If they live in peace, then problem solved.
p.s. I have never heard an explanation of the Israeli intelligence, political, and military failures for the October attack.
Agreed! Two separate states with separate governments each minding their own business and dealing with their own citizens needs. Nothing wrong with that concept at all!
Bill Clinton offered that to Arafat. He said that if he agreed to that he would be killed.
Is that true or a myth?
Based on that opinion, I’m thinking you apparently haven’t been paying attention.
Even the Muslims don’t want Palestinians in their countries.
Gaza has been offered a two state solution multiple times. They have rejected it every time. Why you ask? Because one of those states is Israel. The only remaining solution is to remove them. They are not what they call themselves, they are Arabs. Not just any Arabs, but those that are not wanted by any other Arab nation – that should tell you a lot about them. No one that calls Gaza their home, should be allowed to stay. They should go back to Jordan or Egypt, but they won’t take them. Maybe Somalia will take them. Israel needs to take the land back. Other Arabs currently living in Israel could move there alongside Israelis and restore the area to what it once was.
Dream on.
“Hamas was clearly not backed by a lot of people before the seventh of October.”
So where did they get the weapons and cash to fill the tunnels?
Europeans want all these illegals to keep flowing into their countries. Why not take the 2 million Palestinians and divide them up in Europe. Europe gets people and the Palestinians get peace. France, UK, Germany can split them up.
Brilliant, reward one of the most heinous terrorist attacks in history.
Morons.
France, like Canada has seen massive immigration from the Middle East. It is now crucial to maintain a strong Islamic stance if one is to survive politically.
In Canada, most large cities, that essentially decide elections, are almost universally full of liberal indoctrinated white urbanites or migrants. Trudeau opened a voter mill that forever ensured a liberal govt.
DD
Most of these ‘refugees’ aka many military aged males, came from the 7 nations in 5 years plans nations on that list that General Wesley Clark stated he was told were to be bombed and or invaded because of 9/11. Ironically these 7 nations were either Shia,or secular with ties to Orthodox Christian Russia and were fighting the radical Sunni Islamists who they told us did 9/11, and would have been linked to Saudi Arabia, our second best friend in the ME. Coincidence?
Remember, Colkitto, that the highest French Court has ruled all Gazans have the RIGHT (!!!) to French residency.
This is the end result of the “unicorn and rainbow existence ” poisonous snake oil, sold to each European country’s population in order to cement the power of those unelected “elites” who are now in their last push to imprison every man, woman, and child into perpetuity with CBDCs.
The champagne drunk on the night to toast the legal incorporation of the EU when fireworks could be heard and seen across the continent (and then the UK), to rousing strains of “Ode to Joy” has turned to ashes in the mouths of millions upon millions whose countries have been stolen right out from under them.

It sounds like it’s time for Five Eyes to become U.S. Eyes Only.
Recognition of a
HamasPalestinian state is about the final card they have to play to drag PDJT47 into their war with Russia. If he won’t support their puppet Zelensky, then they will do what they can to threaten Trump’s puppet*, Netanyahu.They’ve already played the airspace violations/fake drone attacks cards. What’s next, British soldiers dressed as Russian soldiers attacking Poland?
(*Netanyahu is certainly not PDJT47’s puppet. In fact, some fools believe the opposite is true.)
Whole lot of puppeteering going on here.
Most of which does not exists in reality.
“What’s next, British soldiers dressed as Russian soldiers attacking Poland?”
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
President Macron what a dork with visions of grandeur. 😜
The U.K, Canada and Australia, especially the UK, and even more especially the so-called “Palestinians”, should be more concerned about all the planks in their own eyes rather than any splinters in Israel’s eyes.
The same progressives will complain, when the Palestinian gov’t persecutes homosexuals and women.
He, he……..the Euroweenies are incapable of understanding that actions have consequences:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/09/13/anger-at-israel-blows-hole-europe-iron-dome-plans/
Europe’s Iron Dome plans at risk over anti-Israel backlash. ‘Sky Shield’ project relies on system developed by Israel and US. And Israel may just decide not to sell….
oops!
All I can say is that is Macron is for this, than the US should be against it- it’s that simple.
Any Nation agreeing to a 2-State Solution without amending the Charter of the PLO/PLA, which will be the base document of the new “Palestinian State”, to remove the Destruction of Israel and Removal of anybody not Muslim from the Middle East …. AGREES the State of Israel should be removed and only Muslims should live in the Middle East.
From the dust bin of History:
Beginning with the FAILED Oslo Accords in 1993 and through 2009, Israel AGREED to a 2-State Solution if the PLO/PLA Charter was amended. To date, the PLO/PLA REFUSES to do so.
there is photographic evidence there is no state left
what borders will France recognze and defend?
Wait long enough and we’ll see them defending the borders of Dar al-Islam over everyone else.
As in the past. France will “defend” by waving white flags.
The new French will not be waving a white flag, but a black one, emblazoned with “Aloha Snackbar”.
All to the gay bar!
Historical footnote: it was George “Islam is Love” Bush’s Secretary of State, the anti-Semite Condi Rice, who pressured Israel into holding elections in Gaza that gave Hamas power and gave Israel the crime against humanity of October 7th.

What did Macron even say?
Maybe it is a second language thing but so many words for so little substance.
I love hearing Trump speak, just not a politician at all.
Mr Micron has only words, words, words, blowing in the wind!!! Which is probably where he will be shortly!!! (Or not) Who knows how and what the Frenchies are thinking??? They are just eating their pastries, drinking their fine wine!
These governments (UK, Canada, and France) don’t have the leverage to impose a settlement, but they are hoping to gain symbolic capital with the “Free free Palestine” bloc, which matters when they’re losing support over multiple domestic failures.
Macron rewards Hamas for killing, raping, and kidnapping innocent Israelites.
That should’ve been the headline.
Macron is a coward helping to plunge the world into war.
Have you seen the video of the UK coppers – one a young blonde woman and the other a head-covered Muslim woman – entering a home without permission to sieze a teen’s cell phone “as evidence” because she viewed a social media post by Tommy Robinson in May?
In a country that has fallen that far so fast, recognition of a Palestinian State is an irrelevant detail.
“In a country that has fallen that far so fast, recognition of a Palestinian State is an irrelevant detail.”
In a country that has fallen that far so fast, recognition of a Palestinian State is confirmation of that nation’s collapse.
Macron’s government collapsed right after he told the world he was going to recognize a “Palestinian state”. God owns Israel and he’s give it to who he wishes and he couldn’t care less what any leader of men say.
6 “Ho there! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens,” declares the LORD.
7 “Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.”
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, “After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.
9 For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.
10 Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares the LORD.
11 “Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
12 The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 “Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused from His holy habitation.” (Zechariah 2:6, NASB)
President Macron, work at fixing the mess in your own country before you get involved in other countries.
You could say the same about the United States!
Anything to get us in a war. Freedom fries anyone?
Counting on the insane to behave sanely is a fantasy we can no longer entertain.
We need to get out of the NATO asylum now.
If we don’t, we’ll eventually get caught up in their house fire.
Eventually our nukes and other toys will have to be moved to secure locations.
Unless we want to face another unpleasant Mers-el-Kebir type task.
Looking forward to Candace Jackson forcing President Macron to prove he is a man.
I think Candace needs to shut up and sit down.
She’s become an embarrassment, but worse, she’s become a distraction.
Her desperate need for clicks is diverting attention away from serious, legitimate issues.
The Pals will not be appeased by any recognition. Their reason for breathing is to destroy Israel. The Eurotrash are too dumb to recognize that.
Read the novels “Submission” and “Camp if the Saints”. The former is the story if the French liberals joining with the Muslims to prevent the right wing nationalist from winning which Macron has done twice now; the latter us about an overwhelming third world peaceful invasion of France.
Africans and Arabs invade Europe. South and Central Americans invade the United States. That’s been the plan!
Stop complain and learn Espanola !
Learning a little Ebonics might not be a bad idea either.
Looking forward to the PS in GB or France.
Recognizing the Philistinian State?
Pee Wee doesn’t even recognize zee French State!
First of all, what exactly (like precisely) is the Palestinian State? Gaza Strip and West Bank, got it…but is that it? What about Jerusalem? Have you ever looked at an ethnic map of the Old City? it changes neighborhood-by-neighborhood. I don’t think Palestinians want a “State” without some or all of Jerusalem and no one knows about to carve it up. Sooo, this still needs some bake time.
Also, anyone find it curious that France, Aussie, Canada and the UK now find themselves on the same side as “evil Putin” on the Palestinian State issue?

Deeply ashamed and horrified at the actions of our government in Australia. They are encouraging and rewarding terrorism.
President of North Algeria.
Qatar must be passing out buckets of cash!
Certainly not their own money. Bound to be from an alternative channel where the USAID pipeline was shutdown.
The irony is that the UK and France, who are leading the charge here, are the two countries primarily responsible for carving up the Middle East remnants of the Defunct Ottoman Empire into dysfunctional, failed states in the first place. And now, they want to double down on their idiocy by threatening Israel with Auschwitz borders.
And Canada? Carney was installed as leader with no vetting whatsoever. He has shown himself to be way over his head. Clueless really about how to conduct Foreign (or Domestic) policy. Doesn’t have an original idea in his head. His concept of leadership is to see what the idiots in Europe are doing and follow along.
Here’s the reality. The Middle East is tribal. It makes no sense to shoehorn tribal cultures into Westphalian states. It always leads to chaos and conflict.
And this idiot move will do nothing to fix this. It will only embolden the crazies. Even Erdogan wants to get into the act by claiming Jerusalem as his own.
If the Pals ever wanted to live peaceably side by side with Israel, they had plenty of opportunity to do so. But they never bought into ‘Two State Solution’. They only ever wanted to destroy Israel. Most Israelis know this. I suspect the Three Stooges (oh and the Spanish idiot) know this as well but just don’t care.
The good news is their bleating and posturing just doesn’t matter. The US is firmly in charge and committed to the Abraham Accords – the only truly original idea that has emerged in over 40 years.
Are they going to have Hamas lead it? And who wants to live next to it?
At 15-19% in the polls he is doing this, at least in part, to appease Muslim voters for short term electoral gain.
France has 2.1 million Muslim voters compared to fewer than 300,000 Jewish voters.
bingo.
macron is pro terrorist. french frog
So the current leaders in the UK, FR, and CA are in trouble. Rather than move to middle ground they double down trying to get support from the far left and muslims hoping to save themselves. If it does, their countries are gone and we need to separate our selves from them. Hopefully people will rise to the occasion, kick these people out of power and start restoring their country and culture. I’m not going to hold my breath.
Richard the Lionheart, and Charles Martel would both be spinning in their graves from what these sorts of leaders have done to thier beloved nations, between the UK and France.
Let me say this, and I don’t care about being popular – whatever. The first thing you got to do is to study and to understand who you’re up against. And you must realize that this is not a religion you are fighting against, you are fighting against a theo-political belief system and construct. You’re fighting something that’s been doing this thing since 622 AD, the 7th century,1388 years.
You want to dig up Charles Martel and ask him why he was fighting the Muslim army at the Battle of Tours in 732? You want to ask the Venetian fleet at Lepanto, why they were fighting a Muslim fleet in 1571? You want to ask the Germanic and Austrian knights why they were fighting at the Gate of Vienna in 1683? You want to ask people what happened at Constantinople and why today it’s called Istanbul because they lost that fight in 1453?
You need to get into the Koran, you need to understand their precepts, you need to read the Sura, you need to read the hadiths, and then you can really understand that IT’S NOT A PERVERSION THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THIS BOOK SAYS.
Until you get principled leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail, because we will never clearly define who this enemy is, and define, their goals and objectives, which is on any jihadists website, and then come up with the right and proper goals and objectives, to not only secure our republic, but to secure Western civilization.
– Allen West
I’m familiar with much of that history despite typically not making lengthy posts with a lot of details on it.
That system masquerading as an Abramhamic faith is antithetical to all of the founding values of our nation. Never mind historical Christendom.
It’s a “faith” who’s idea of a “perfect” man is a murderer, thief, liar, sexual predator, idolator, plagerist, and a whole list of other things. This Mohammed is a manifestation of an Antichrist spirit.

“A-Tisket, A-Tasket“
Will Macron’s head end up in a basket?
Perhaps a swan dive off the Eiffel Tower.
Macron’s intention is to further ingratiate himself with the Islamists who are out to destroy his country. He has cemented his place as the weak horse.
With respect to Ukraine, it seems the surrender French want more war. Go ahead, but without US.
This isn’t 1776 so frankly it doesn’t matter what France recognizes. They have no power to do anything.
If Trump wanted to be nasty to Macron he could announce the USA will recognize that the western most provinces of France are now a separate and independent state for all the Muslims that have relocated to France.
Makes as much sense as what Macron is talking about for the Middle East.
Good grief.
If he’s making margaret brennan sound sane, you know macron is hard-selling the fried snail slime ice cream.
This reads like nothing more than a whorish attempt to appease france’s muslim invaders and reward the terrorists who could come for the french at any next minute.
Does he think this gaza nonsense will win him the muslim vote at home and allow him to remain in power?
He knows full well the US isn’t going to let this crazy gaza plan pass, so he’s safe from having to actually follow through with his hallucinatory plan for “the next day.”
Is he trying to put President Trump on the spot to try and maneuver the US in a NATO snare in ukraine (where he also has a “next day” plan)?
Does he talk this crap because he thinks we’re all all stupid as he is?
The man is circling the political bowl and soon it’s gonna be inevitable that somebody pulls the handle and flushes it.
France just never seems to learn.
This imaginary “state” of Paleoswine is in the same nightmarescape as the million genders bs. What exactly are Paleoswine’s boundaries? It’s capitol? It’s form of government and specific leaders? F-ckery and fakery!
